Generally yes, you need to have something to use it.

Okay, thank you!

Will the Sword of Gryffindor be available in the future?

That is a one of a kind item, I am not sure how that can be available.

Well, there was a fake sword in the books, so why shouldn't there be more? I think fake house items are a quite cool idea for flavor, but I guess the sword of Gryffindor would not be so easy to get into Hogwarts, as even a fake one would be a weapon.

Brilliant idea, having replicas of the house items made by Hermione would be a great way to tie these roleplays and the books together.

Made by Hermione? Erm, not sure if that would work, but having normal metalsmiths who aren't goblins create duplicas of the house items probably could! I don't know for what reason Hermione would create duplicas of the house items, especially since she canonically is/was minister for magic.

Good point, but some characters from the series might have made some replicas of the original house items like the Locket, the Diadem, the Cup, and the Sword at some point. Like Griphook as we don't know what happened to him in the books.

I understand, but that would mean having a limited amount of replicas again making it difficult to make replicas available to users. If one user is allowed to own one, everyone else needs to get the option as well.

Right, then students should attempt to make items like the Locket, and the Diadem, while blacksmiths and goldsmiths should replicate the Cup and the Sword.
