Use a Wand Holster A wand holster gives you the ability to keep your wand safely secured to you. Clip it onto your shorts, Fanny pack, backpack, etc. Some styles can be worn like a crossbody, strapped around your calf, or worn on your inner forearm.

Carrying an interactive wand at Universal Studios requires a balance of accessibility for "casting spells" and safety for rides. In 2026, the most popular method is using a Wand Holster, which can be clipped to a belt or worn as a crossbody or calf sheath, keeping the wand secure while leaving your hands free. Alternatively, if you are wearing an official Hogwarts Robe, they are designed with a hidden, deep interior pocket specifically sized to hold a wand. Many guests also use Vera Bradley backpacks or Harry Potter-themed sling bags that feature reinforced, disguised wand sleeves. To protect the sensitive infrared tip of an interactive wand, many "pro" visitors use a simple pencil eraser cap when the wand is not in use. Remember that on most "thrill" attractions, wands must be stored in the free lockers provided at the ride entrance to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles.
