Harry Potter fans are unable to buy magic wands from witchcraft stores

Harry Potter fans of Slaithwaite village, near Huddersfield are a disappointed lot because they are unable to buy magic wands from a local witchcraft store. The outlet makes magic wands for real life witches and wizards but have refused to cater to the demands of Harry Potter fans.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 15 August 2016.

The business is popular because it has made a name for itself in the wizarding world since it supplies wands to cast healing spells and charms for good luck. But, the man who makes the wands has said that he is selling "spiritual tools" and not toys for young Muggles.
It seems the wands have magical powers and can be used to draw protective circles to ward off dark forces while owners meditate. It brings them money, helps them to find love, cure aches and pains and stress, and speed up a sick relative's recovery or wish for happiness, courage or physical strength.
The owner wants to sell his wands to true believers in magic and not to Hogwarts fans who just want to add these to their collections of memorabilia.
However, a disgruntled Potter fan believes that this is like McDonald's refusing to sell happy meals to sad people. The wands would be selling in thousands if the seller was not so snobbish because, nearly every young person is a Harry Potter fan.
