If you are looking for Severus Snape's wand to buy then I'm happy to tell you that there are several different versions of his wand. They all look basically the same so it's up to you to decide if you want a traditional wand, an interactive one, or one that is more of a collector's item. Regardless of which wand chooses you, I'm sure that it will as faithful to you as Snape's was to him!

Wand Design
Unfortunately, nothing is known about Snape's wand other than what it looks like. The wand is so dark that it looks black and has in intricately carved handle. The rest of the wand is completely smooth. We can probably assume that a young Severus got his wand from Ollivanders Wand Shop. This has not yet been confirmed but I see no reason to think otherwise.
Ollivanders Wand
Ollivanders Wand Shop in Universal Studio's Wizarding World of Harry Potter has Severus Snape's wand. It comes in one of Mr. Ollivander's boxes that is lined with a soft material to keep your wand safe for years to come.
Interactive Ollivanders Wand
Interactive wands are Ollivander wands, but unlike traditional Ollivander wands, these can be used to cast magical spells at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios. There is an interactive version of Severus Snape's wand that looks identical to the one seen above, except at the tip. Interactive wands also come with a map of locations where you can cast spells.
I wrote about interactive Harry Potter wands if you are unfamiliar with them. You can read about them here.
Here is a video that I took of my daughter as she used her interactive wand to cast a spell. FYI - This is one of the hidden spell locations...
Some browsers prevent videos from playing so if you are unable to watch the video then I recommend that you try again using a different browser (i.e. Google Chrome or Opera)
Noble Collection Wand
The Noble Collection version of Severus's wand includes a different box than the Ollivanders box and a removable name tag. Other than the box, the Noble Collection wand looks just like the Ollivanders version. Noble Collection boxes are lined with a soft material to help protect your wand.
There is also another Noble Collection version that differs from the one seen above - it does not have a name clip and the box does not have the character's name on it. Instead, the box is made to look like the ones seen in Ollivanders Wand Shop in the films.
I just got Snape’s interactive wand and I am dying to know what the symbols mean too! We need to find the name of the person who designed it for the films because that is the only person who would know.
Wouldn’t it be lovely to have someone from the films contact me to tell me what the symbols mean?
Would really like to know what the apparent oriental , or perhaps, Celtic symbols represent on Snape’s wand.
Mychael,
I wish I knew, too! I sent an email to the Noble Collection company asking about this and will let you know what they say. Don’t be surprised, though, if they don’t know either.

Mychael,
The Noble Collection company got back to me very quickly, but they don’t know. Here is what I was told:
“Thanks for reaching out to us. At this time, it is unknown what the symbols on Snape’s wand means. There is nothing canon written about it yet, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen someday!”
Rochelle
Hi! So in Chinese culture, the symbols on Snape’s wand is a stylized form for longevity…which is kinda ironic.
Hello YaYa,
I had no idea! Yes, you are right that this is ironic, and that’s probably the intention. Thank you for sharing this.
Sincerely,
Rochelle
