When I was nine and a major Harry Potter enthusiast (I still love Harry Potter !!) I convinced myself that pencils were magic wands of a different kind. I'd sort my pencils into the wand groups from Harry Potter (Phoenix Feather, Unicorn Hair, Dragon Heartstring). I got my friend from school who was also a big Harry Potter enthusiast in on this as well.
