UGears Harry Potter Golden Snitch™

The Golden Snitch™ - the legendary prize of every Quidditch match is now yours to build and bring to life. Inspired by its on-screen and book appearances, this mechanical model captures the movement and elegance of the Snitch in motion.

Wind the internal spring by pulling the string on top, then release to watch the delicate wings flutter with life. Hold the model by the wings or pull string and feel it respond with a gentle, flapping motion. You can display the Snitch on its stand, suspend it in mid-air using the built-in eyelet, or set it in motion again and again.

Inside, a pendulum regulates the wing action, while a silent ratchet system controls tension for smooth, repeatable motion. The wings are made from fine 1.5mm wood, while the body and stand use a sturdier 3mm composite. A spare wing is included for peace of mind.

This model also pays tribute to its special place in the story - it’s not just any Snitch, but the one Harry caught in his first Quidditch match, later passed on by Dumbledore with a hidden message: "I open at the close."

With 3D parts that simply snap together, this is a fun, hands-on project rated “Easy.” No glue or extra tools are needed. Sandpaper and wax are included to help smooth and finish moving parts. Leave your Snitch in natural wood, or customise it with paint or stain.

A display piece, a keepsake, and a small working marvel - the Golden Snitch™ model is perfect for fans, collectors, and anyone who loves clever, mechanical design.
