Anyways, I am sure an eventual reboot won't have Harry carrying a hockey stick. I think they are going with a magical solution where Harry's staff can magically shrink to appear as a normal walking cane or even more, to something that can be hidden in normal clothes.

I think that could work. I think Elaine uses that kind of staff doesn't she? I seem to remember hers is folded up when not in use in her purse. Harry could keep his staff as well as his blasting rod in his coat pocket.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Nah Harry has always been out and proud as a wizard. They will go with that.
Although Jim might have to fight them about the hat.

The staff is Harry's (the most-coomon, I think, for Euro-wizards) "multi-toool."
Elaine, I think, uses a chain; though her precise magical habits are less-clearthan Harry's, and the chain might be more like Harry's blasting-rod, a combat-specific tool.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Elaine whilst advertising as a wizard is still trying to fly under the White Council radar, a staff would be a dead giveaway, even Carlos might suspect she had bamboobzled him. Harry on the other hand was a white Council wizard, it would be expected, neatly as much as the beard.
Elaine’s advert may come back to haunt her, the White Council specifically forbade Harry to advertise himself as a Wizard when they booted him out, I can’t see them not cracking down on Elaine, a bunch of old men would prefer to pick a fight with Elaine rather than Harry. I am afraid she will end up being declared a warlock.
In spite she might just adopt a staff but re-invent it to de-masculinise it, to show she is just as much as a wizard as they are.
Besides the spear of destiny would just look weird on a hockey stick.

I had gotten the impression Elaine had gone over to more or less full-time Paranet operations. She may not have the advert any more!

I think they really prefer to have evidence of black magic. That we have heard of, from Harry's POV, we don't see any.
OTOH, if they realize she was DuMorne's student, who has been hiding for over a decade -- secretly operating as a wizard, and deceiving the Warden who came to test her -- that probably looks like "evidence" to them.
HOWEVER... I am one of those fans who think Elaine isn't as good as Harry thinks she is. I suspect she was the Nemfection-vector who got to Aurora.
