The Realm of the Dark Blade

I am a fan of the Harry Potter movies, though I must admit I am several movies behind in the series. Nonetheless, I did watch “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” in the theater and was rather intrigued by the sword that Harry pulled from the sorting hat to defend himself against the Basilisk in the “Chamber of Secrets”:

This sword has an interesting quality about it. the blade is almost rapier like in appearance, though it appeared to be somewhat smaller and employed a much simpler cross guard. In fact, the overall appearance of the sword could easily pass for an over-sized wand of sorts, if you overlooked the presence of the cross guard.

Nonetheless it is a pretty cool looking sword, though still a bit flashy for my taste. Certainly seems like the kind of elegant sword a wizard would use…
