Japan Recalls Harry Potter Sword Replicas For Being ‘Too Authentic’

Replicas of the Godric Gryffindor Sword from ‘Harry Potter’ sold at a theme park in Japan have been recalled due to their authenticity, which possibly violates the country’s anti-weapons laws. Warner Bros. Studios Japan has announced the recall of the 34-inch, silver sword being sold for ¥30,000 ($200) at “The Making of Harry Potter” Tokyo studio park.

The sword, which has a wooden display plaque, was considered sharp enough by Japan’s sword and firearms control laws. Being a replica sword, it was recalled because of the sharp edges, which were found dangerous by Japanese investigators.

Warner Bros. Studios Japan apologized for the inconvenience caused. The country is strictly known for its gun control law and rare violent crimes, but occasional stabbings have led the country to be concerned about the weapons, especially after former prime minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in 2022.

Many of Harry Potter fans who had been forced to surrender their long-treasured swords were showing some bitterness as regards what the issue led to. One fan used her social media account to type, “The farewell was frustrating and very sad,” while another wrote, “I just handed over to police the Gryffindor sword which I once vowed to myself I will cherish for the rest of my life.” Fans showed solidarity among themselves, sharing their bereavement over the mandatory recalling.
