It is the typical painted nerf foam material much like the football or soccer balls you can purchase.

Does anyone know if they sell jewelry, specifically Luna Lovegood's dirigible plum/radish earrings and butterbeer cork necklace? I'm trying to put together a Luna costume for the midnight opening of DH, and I'll be visiting Universal in the fall. I'm trying to decide whether to just buy some replicas online now, or wait to see if they have anything good there. It would be wonderful to know ahead of time so I could go ahead and purchase something.
You made these? That's impressive!Yay, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has officially opened, so now I can show people what I've been doing for the past year.
Dumledore's wand is the Elder wand.
You do know that those wands are for display, right? You're not supposed to actually use them.
lindasch, he was referring to the Elder wand sold at the park. It is not Dumbldore's wand.

Here's a good place I found if your looking for Harry Potter items. The Noble Collection:
The Noble Collection Catalog
UPS will be delivering my "DUMBLEDORE'S Army Wand Collection "
tomorrow.
The Noble Collection Products
We were at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter on 6/22/10.
They were out of a lot of Harry's items, they still had a lot of Slytherin House items...
I was thinking about getting "The TRIWIZARD Champions Wand Set" for $145, but held off at last minute..
I then happen to see that Noble Collection is carrying the same thing that I saw at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the same price.
Just wanted to pass on the info...
Also the WBshop: Harry Potter: WBshop.com - The Official Online Store of Warner Bros. Studios

Hey Ozy, I'm just returning from the park and sadly I couldn't find the egg. :cry However, I did see the chess automata and the dragon chase automata. Unfortunately, the dragon chase was hidden behind the owl post cart, so you had to peek around to get to see it. When I was standing by the chess piece, a boy walked up and started taking pictures of it after declaring it, "bad ass."

ummm.... Children don't display wands, they play wand fights and so on. A bad move by universal, but I suppose it is the only way to produce the wands in such intricate designs!
All I was trying to say was that the wand they sell as 'Elder' is actually the design of a deatheater's wand GoF, I think.

How often do they 'restock' Ollivanders wands ?
I don't want to go there and they've run out on a certain wand!

I finally got to the park myself and was bummed to see where they stuck the castle. Parked a blasted vendor cart right in front of it.
The Golden Eggs and the Tri-Wizard cup are both in the queu line for the roller coaster.
Love the story about the kid. That just makes me smile.

Ozymandius! I was flipping through the pictures that one of my facebook friends that I don't know that well took at her recent trip to the WWoHP and I was delighted to see that she took pictures of the Tri-Wizard Cup, the egg, and the wizard chess.
Cool. I wonder if the chess set was working that day. :lol

All three golden eggs are in the queue line for the roller coaster. They are in a glass case just after the Tri-Wizard cup, but the lighting on them is so bad that you can barely make out what they are let alone see any of the detail.
And I keep hearing about the butter beer and pumpkin juice but I've yet to try either. Interesting little aside though about the drinks...the reason the park even has them is that J.K. Rowling refused to even allow the park unless all soft drinks were banned from being sold inside the Potter area.
