SALEM — Christian Day used to have a reliable wand guy.
Day is a practicing witch — he prefers the term warlock — but the magic wands were not for personal use.
Instead, he sold the wands in his witch shops in Salem.
One day, he happened to mention to the witch who made the wands for him that his best wand customers were not actual witches, but the parents of children who were into Harry Potter.
That’s when the wand-maker cut him off, appalled that his fine magical instruments were being used as toys by children.
