Where can I buy a stick that shoots out lightning like in Harry Potter?

All the ones I've found in the woods dont work. I think maybe their batteries are low

A fork should do the trick, you just need to charge it up first. Is there an outlet nearby?

This is one of the most obscenely irresponsible things I've seen jokingly commented here. Encouraging the acquisition and use of forks can only ever lead to the terrifyingly inevitable outcome of every single one of us being completely forked.

Go to a farm supply store.  The thing you want is called a Cattlea Purodd.

Rookie mistake. Try jamming random animal feathers, heartstrings, or hair in the stick and selling it for a ludicrous markup down an alley in central London.

There is no ethical way to reference the HP franchise. Stop supporting transphobia

Call the emergency squad. We have an emergency cranial-rectum-ectomy needed. Though I fear brain-death is a foregone conclusion.

You're literally a "sovereign citizen" poster, I guess being a transphobic bigot is par for the course with you
