Zustandsforschung

Wo wir gerade beim Thema sind: Irgendwann bin ich im Netz mal auf diesen Shop hier gestoßen:

Alivan’s – Makers of Fine Handcrafted Magic Wands

Die machen hauptsächlich Zauberstäbe und fliegende Besen im Harry-Potter-Stil, also im Prinzip was ähnliches, wie dieser Ritualbedarf – nur dass man sich hier darüber im klaren ist, dass das Blödsinn ist:

If you are reading this you may be wondering if a “magic wand” is right for your child. That decision is, of course, up to you, but let us assure you that an Alivan’s wand is only meant to stimulate your child’s growing imagination. Our company does not, in any way, support the dark side of magic. In fact, we completely discourage it.

At Alivan’s, we believe children should be challenged and encouraged so that creative thinking may be cultivated. In this age of computer games, MP3 players and electronic toys, children are often mesmerized by glitz rather than ideas. An Alivan’s wand offers a reminder of times when toys were made of wood and games were played by creating within our minds.

Pretending, creativity and imaginative thinking teaches children to dream greater dreams and to think outside the “wand box”. It leads them toward greater artistic expression and allows their visions to come alive…on this I’m sure we can all agree!

Also einfach nur Harry-Potter-Merchandising. Kinderspielzeug. Aber echt schön gemacht der Kram:
