You would think after 17 years they would have improved the Google Translate a bit more than they have.
Well, it actually translates to “baguette magique”, so nothing to fix, here at least.
I don’t pretend to speak French but do they actually call a magical stick a Baguette Magique or wouldn’t some other synonym be more fitting?
They actually call it a Baguette Magique.

Well alright then, good job Google.
For one, it’s not google translate. And for another the translation is correct. I actually took a look at Harry Potter with french dub as I couldn’t believe it either and they definitely called their wands “baguette”. Also confirmed by other comments here.
In French, baguette means “long stick”. The bread name comes from this meaning, as it is a long, thin kind of bread :) We also call drum sticks “baguette”, as well as anything wooden, long and thin, like a conductor baton or a magic wand!
anything wooden, long and thin
So you’re saying that Jacob Rees-Mogg is considered a baguette in France?
It took me a while to understand why us people would find that amusing.
Reason fuckin one million to not take the French seriously
