Sam Smith Turns 23, Gets "Authentic" Harry Potter Wand as a Present

If you want to feel really under-accomplished for your age, know that today (May 19), Grammy winner and hitmaker Sam Smith turns 23 today. If that's not enough to trigger your jealousy, the "Like I Can" singer revealed one super cool birthday present from his siblings: "authentic" wands from Harry Potter.

Smith showed off his gift on Instagram, pointing his wand at the camera, surely prepping to unleash some kind of spell. "My sisters are actually the f*cking BEST. They got me authentic Harry Potter wands!!!!!!!!!! Best present EVERRRRRRR," he captioned the photo.

Is the wand an actual wand from the wizard world? A prop from the movies? A replica that anyone can buy? We're not so sure, but regardless, it is a great gift. (And we wonder what Smith's patronus would be...)

The wand present isn't the first time Smith showed off his love for Harry Potter on Instagram. After undergoing surgery on his vocal cords earlier this month, Smith revealed that watching the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was his "happy place."

Same.

Smith's Harry Potter wands aren't the only nerdy gifts that a musician has gotten in recent months. For his 24th birthday, Ed Sheeran was filled with glee after receiving Jon Snow's sword from Game of Thrones. Similarly, according to Emilia Clarke, Jay Z gifted his wife Beyoncé with one of the dragon's eggs from Game of Thrones.
