Harry Potter Sword Replicas Recalled In Japan For Being “Too Authentic”

Tokyo, Japan:

Japanese theme park recalls Harry Potter sword replicas for being too realistic, potentially violating anti-weapons laws, Warner Bros. Studios Japan and media report.

The replicas in question are of the Godric Gryffindor Sword, an authentic recreation named after one of Hogwarts’ founders. The 34-inch silver sword is mounted on a wooden display plaque and was priced at 30,000 yen ($200).

Authorities raised concerns about the sharpness of the toy sword, suggesting it may breach Japan’s strict sword and firearms control laws. The replicas were being sold at “The Making of Harry Potter” studio park in Tokyo, known for its immersive Harry Potter experience.

Warner Bros. Studios Japan issued an apology for the inconvenience caused, and Harry Potter fans who had to return their swords expressed their disappointment on social media. The recall sparked emotions of frustration and sadness among fans who had cherished the Gryffindor sword.

Violent crime is rare in Japan due to stringent gun control laws, but occasional incidents do occur. The recall serves as a reminder of the country’s strict regulations on weapons.

“I just handed over to police the Gryffindor sword which I once vowed to myself I will cherish for the rest of my life,” one fan shared on social media, reflecting the sentiment of many others who had to part ways with their beloved replica.
