And because they mostly just say “wand” in the Harry Potter films, the French dub always uses the shorter “baguette” which made it pretty funny for me as a child learning French.
Wait, does the word "baton’’ not exist in French? Because the in-universe French school is named Beauxbatons. Would Beauxbaguette have been more accurate?
That’s interesting, because for English-speakers, a baton is more closely associated with a delicate little conductor’s baton, though I suppose those big twirly sticks with pompoms that cheerleaders throw are also called batons.

Is the wand shop called a bakery?
The French have like 5 different words for “bakery”
Boulanger (bread maker), pâtissier (cake maker)… what are the other 3?
marché du pain, prêt à manger, chez ta mére
That last one 😂😂
But only one word for all long stick-like things… Go figure
That’s just more civilized. Only barbarians such as anglos mix up businesses that make bread to those that make pastry .

Baton is also a similar word yeah, but maybe more reserved for bigger sticks like the ones you throw to your dog, baguettes are smaller more delicate.

Is a police beating stick not also called a baton?
