All year, DS (7) has wanted a magic wand. He has been running around shouting "Expelliarmus!" with chopsticks, bits of twig, etc. "Magic wand" was his automatic answer to any question about what he wants for Christmas.

So I bought him a fabby magic wand for Christmas, about 3 weeks ago. It's all wrapped up, ready to go under the tree from Santa.

And I happened to buy the Pirates of the Caribbean (first one) DVD as a treat.

This morning he announces "I don't like Harry Potter any more, I hope Santa doesn't bring me a wand for Christmas, I want a sword like Captain Jack's".

Dammit dammit dammit.

Woolworth's had lots of Captain Jack swords earlier this week. I've bought loads of Pirate stuff for dd1 from Disney shop. She's 13 though!

asda have loads aswell.

You could hope he might approach the wand laterally and sometimes use it as a wand, sometimes as a sword?

Good Luck

Yes I'm a bit puzzled by plaits. Does Captain Jack have them or something? He's got funny little swingy things in his hair hasn't he, but I've never looked too closely (too busy drooling stupidly to observe properly).

the outfit comes with a bandana with a few dreadlock type extensions attached, and since I have studied Captain Jack Sparroew extensively in POTC2 . he does indeed have similar hair

Surely the solution is to have a harry potter day - let him watch all the films again and get all enthusiastic again then wait for the "I don't like captain jack anymore I hope....... Santa brings me an owl for christmas!"

swedishmum · 22/12/2006 11:46

Personally if I found Captain Jack in my stocking on Christmas morning it would really brighten my day.

DarrellRivers · 22/12/2006 14:26

Crikey, it would cheer me up too
might have to put in last minute santa request
