The Watch Vidocq Onlinesocial media giant quietly rolled out an easter egg in time for Jun. 26, the day J.K. Rowling first published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stonein 1997(which Americans will of course know as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone).

You can also click on the word to make the wand appear again.
The easter egg also works when you post or comment the name Harry Potter, too.
