Ideal for the Harry Potter fan who already has all the DVDs - a magic wand Tv remote control. Buttons, no remember this is a WAND - more for the wii generation. No buttons, flick to command!
You can use it to control your telly, DVD, Blu Ray, Sky, digibox, stereo or whatever uses infa red remote controls now a days and do it in magical style with flicks of the wrist and turns of the wand.
To add to its supernatural nature, the Wand also features a ‘heartbeat’ in the form of various pulses that confirm gesture recognition, creepy!
But aside from its gadget credentials, and the fact there is an amazing instruction manual that has the look of pages from a spell book, and as you can see from the image it is actually a beautiful Harry Potter Esq replica wizards wand. Even the presentation box oozes quality.

But there are many all in one style TV remotes that can be used with Sky Plus, Sky HD, TV, Stereo etc. and they are usually alot cheeper. Some can be cheep and nasty but I recommend you check out this Sky Plus compatable tv remote
