Bought this for my niece for her 9th birthday earlier this month. She's just finished reading the third Harry Potter book. She absolutely loved it! I'm not sure who was happier with it~my niece or my sister! She put it on when she opened it and did not take it off for several hours. I also bought her a lighted Hermione wand, so she was ecstatic! Well worth the price...the cost of seeing the joy in her face was priceless!
