Harry Potter: The Wand Collection (Book)

Product Information

Mr Ollivander’s famous statement ‘the wand chooses the wizard’ rings just as true for the Elder Wand as any other. However, according to J.K. Rowling, there are some distinct tendencies in its manner of choosing: ‘The Elder Wand knows no loyalty except to strength. So it’s completely unsentimental. It will only go where the power is.’ Harry Potter owned several different wands up until the end of the Second Wizarding War, though only his holly and phoenix feather wand was considered truly his. Other wands included: Harry had waved what felt like every wand in the shop, until at last he had found the one that suited him — this one, which was made of holly, eleven inches long, and contained a single feather from the tail of a phoenix. Mr Ollivander had been very surprised that Harry had been so compatible with this wand. 'Curious,' he had said, 'curious,' and not until Harry asked what was curious had Mr Ollivander explained that the phoenix feather in Harry's wand had come from the same bird that had supplied the core of Lord Voldemort's." — Description of Harry Potter's wand [src]

I think it's therefore pretty safe to say that JKR at least had an idea of what the wands looked like, even if she didn't necessarily spell it out in the books. And I think that idea is basically a conventional magic wand. This was the wand carried by Hermione Granger throughout her years at Hogwarts. Harry used her wand on two occasions, firstly in June 1994 to stun Snape so he could learn about Peter Pettigrew and secondly when Hermione accidentally broke his wand in December 1997. The wand was lost after it was left behind after their escape from Malfoy Manor. Much remained unknown about Webster Boot’s wood, except that its core was made of horned serpent horn and that it was also made by Isolt Sayre and James Steward. Silvanus Kettleburn’s wand This tour was originally announced a whole three years ago, not long after the wand installation’s London debut, but no one knew then just how long it would take for the third Fantastic Beasts film to come together. Eight finalist cities were voted on, and the four winners were revealed in fall 2019, when the third film was still expected in fall 2021. Could a witch have owned the Elder Wand at some point? It’s possible, especially if she did so stealthily, unknowingly or if it simply went undocumented for whatever reason. After all, entire centuries of the wand’s history remain unaccounted for. One witch even claimed to have killed the wand’s then-master (namely Loxias; the claim was made by his own mother). And what about Tina Goldstein in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? We saw her disarming Grindelwald. If Grindelwald had the Elder Wand at this point – did this make her the master?

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it became apparent that the Elder Wand, along with the Resurrection Stone and Invisibility Cloak, were very real objects in the wizarding world. Xenophilius Lovegood's claim that the Peverell brothers – Antioch, Cadmus and Ignotus – were their original owners was supported by Albus Dumbledore’s theory that they were also the inventors. As the oldest Peverell brother, Antioch was the one associated with the Elder Wand. It goes by many names Hermione Granger: " You're still really angry at me, aren't you?" Harry Potter: " No. No, Hermione, I know it was an accident. You were trying to get us out of there alive, and you were incredible. I'd be dead if you hadn't been there to help me." — Conversation after Hermione accidentally broke Harry's wand [src] Before the movies came along, you had to imagine what the wands actually looked like. The movie wands, in consultation with J.K. Rowling, were designed especially for the films. However, the belief that the Elder Wand will automatically switch allegiance whenever the owner is disarmed is also false, for one very important reason... The Elder Wand decides its own destiny

Harry wielded this wand throughout his Hogwarts career and demonstrated his growing magical skill, particularly in Defence Against the Dark Arts and duelling. Harry has also performed powerful magic with this wand, such as the very advanced Patronus Charm (at age thirteen), [9] [10] [11] an impressive Shield Charm, [12] [13] [14] [15] and many other advanced spells he had to learn at a young age. In the aftermath of the Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort's return, Harry possessed magical knowledge and experience that could be said to significantly exceed that of his fellow students. [5] He was forced to essentially learn a variety of advanced spells to hold his own during the competition, as he was going up against much older students and facing dangerous tasks. [17] [18] [19] He wielded this wand in many epic conflicts such as that at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, [14] [20] against the Inferi in the Horcrux Cave [21] and during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. [22] As with any matter of written literature, the wands in the Harry Potter novels look exactly like how you imagine them to look! In the Xbox/GameCune versions of Chamber of Secrets, the wand's tip glows sky-blue instead. The GBA version also instead gives off different colours as indication for which spell Harry currently has equipped. I don't recall JKR describing the wands in great detail in the books, apart from wandlore descriptions like "made of such-and-such wood" or "inflexible" or "dragon heart string core".
