How are wands made..I think it’s a question that’s long been asked but never really truly been answered. Even in my own 3 years on youtube running this channel, the topic of how a wand is actually made has been a video I’ve wanted to cover for quite a long time..the truth is..I just never really got around to it..but today that changes because explaining how a wand is made is exactly what I’m going to do. Not only that, I’m going to talk about the entire history of wands also so with that being said please allow me to take you back into the world of Harry Potter and while you’re there, enjoy todays video.

I badly needed a break from TH-cam guys..I was in quite a rut...glad to back!
Welcome back! Hope you're doing well.
Harry Potter Folklore so happy that you are back Dean
I really missed u 😭
Yes ur back
Harry Potter Folklore could U do a vid of Harry Potter vs Gandalf
People before wands: [fingerguns an Avada Kedavra]
Minestry : jj straight to azkabannnnnnn
Lo
Lol
You know the finger guns is dangerously close to anal sex
@@araara6388 Why🤣🤣🤦♂️
Great video Dean! Good to have you back!
Isn't this you I am confused
Hey Morgan bro you're job is also superb from India
Wow it’s you
@MovieFlame I love ur vids..You do a great job on them!I learn a lot of things about Percy Jackson,Harry Potter and the Hunger Games!Keep it up!
Love vids
I know the "Hey, what if we could channel magic through a stick?" question seems kind of weird, but keep in mind humans discovered steel by looking at a lump of rock and thinking "What if we lit it on fire?"
Or how humans found out about milk by randomly drinking from the utters of a cow that just gave birth.
@@hoop6988 Humans make milk too. Pretty sure we would have figured out milk a long time before we saw cows
Oh and someone in history went: "Hey man imma licc this rock"
Its so- so- salty
*We have salt now*
@@Bxll_Bxll that probably was more instinct than anything else. Especially as humans began to move further away from sea shores away from sources of salt water.
@@henrynorcrossii3363 But still, would you lick a rock?
I wonder if the first witches and wizards who had walking staves and canes accidentally found their magic strwngthened when holding such wooden aids. This might be why staves and canes have been reported to have magical powers from Gandalf's staff or Shillaleys to Baba Yaga's cane, and so on. I wonder if Asia magical folk even use twin wands out of the chopstick tradition to make magic. Or possibly from wooden knitting needles to litterally weave and knit magic. Some magic folk might have found that keeping associated items of magical creatures was also benficial, such as a feather in one's cap, a "rabbut's foot",Newt's eye, etc. Eventually the Woden objects grew smaller and were combined with the other magical element enhancers. I my imagination that is how it came about. Combination of magic enhancing wooden objects and magic enhancing fetishes to make some of the earliest wands.
Well thought out and stated!
love this comment!
Right
You are more correct. That would explain the inventions of the first wands. Inventions are often not just out of thin air but with combination of several happenstance knowledge and theories.
Very accurate
Can you make a video on how spells are made?
TheSneakyOne yea I really wanted to know how snape made sectumsempra
Yaasssssss
OooooooOOOOOOOO THAT’S SUCH A GOOD QUESTION
Yes
This for sure!
Do they do random flicks and twitches with their wand coming up with random latin words to describe what they want to do?
Edit: for example “Sectum Sempra” means “ to cut/to be cut always”
This video was sponsored by Ollivanders. The best wands in Diagonally..err, I mean Diagon Alley.
Edit: Holy hell, I don't look back in over a year, and this is what I see. I didn't think it would get as many likes as it did.
Alley😊
😄
*alley*
So where did you end up in the floo network with that misspeak?
Iron Clad Studios Good Joke
Can you make a video of what if Sirius Black raised Harry? Awesome video as always man.
Good idea
I third that idea!
Good idea.
Good idea
Well... I don’t know if i want to know that XD
The Wizard who made the Elder Wand surely put so much effort into his wand! Can only imagine how many times he failed before actually succeeding
@@naima9818 Possibly, but the true manufacturer(s) of the Deathly Hallows was never revealed. It could be either Death or Antioch that made the elder wand, but I think Antioch is the more likely creator since it doesn't solidify the existence of a deity-like figure in the Harry Potter universe.
Death made the wand as a gift for one of the brothers which is one of the powerfull hallows
Death made the elder wand, the literal character of death......
Imagine a handful of threstral hairs in the elder wand it would be like a atomic bomb goes off , they could try using magical wood like the whooping Willow tree outside Hogwarts or a mandrake plant cuz the plant has a wooden base to it
@@baljitsaini7874 My dude death just snapped it off an elder tree and said here’s your effortless wand
Can someone gain the "loyalty" of more than one wand? If so can a someone dual wield wands?
Harry gained the loyality of malfoys and the elderwand at the same time
Son Goben
And his wand. So it’s triple wield.
@@mastergamingnic1681 Santoryu Onigiri
MasterGaming Nic learn spell non-verbally and TRIPLE wield them!
Harry literally uses 3 wands at once in the malfoy house
I always thought flexibility was how bendy the wand is...
It is both how bendy it is and representative of the wand personality though the wood and core need to be taken into as well
Same
Me too
In the first book one of The wands Harry is trying is literally described as whippy so I think it definitely has a physical component not just magically versatile
Me too
Thank you for a very intelligent way of explaining how wands are made.
Everyone “how are wands made?”
Answer “pick up a stick”
After watching the whole HP series, I started replicating some of my favourite wands : Snape's, Lucius Malfoy's and Luna's. Sooo enjoyable and relaxing. I even got carried away and wanted to cast spells with them...
Nice spells...
Like : Avada...
Oh, wait...

Lol expecto PATRONUM! hah
I don't think a wand requires another wand or even magic to be made, as James Stewart (a Muggle) made the wands for Chadwick and Webster Boot when Ilvermorny was in its infancy. He had a background in carpentry and masonry which allowed him to work out how to make the wands for the boys using the Horned River Serpent horn shavings given to him by Isolt.
animefallenangel I was thinking about that too. But one could argue that there was a wand that could have been used to help make them. He may have chosen the wood, craved it out then have her make the holes needed to place the cores into them.
Even at that. How was he first want made without wands being in existence.
@@dr.owiee.g.5816 wandless magic. using wands makes it easier since not everyone is skilled in wandless magic
I always got the impression that inserting the magical core successfully would have required Isault Sayre to help him.
His carpentry skills simply helped form the body of the wand. Issault herself would have had to go pick out the wand Woods by looking for bowtruckles or magically sensing the power of certain trees. Once Isult had provided him with the magical wood and cores his ordinary skills could do the bulk of the work until it was time to implant the cores.
I am a professional woodworker*
There are many things wizards don't know how to do without magic. That is why Arthur Weasley is so fascinated with muggers. Because of the inventive solutions muggles have found without magic.
Carpentry is just another skill that some may see as magic. Just like masters of anything can be seen as magic

The Inconsistency with the Wand Rules is extreme.
There are multiple instances where you have to ask yourself how important these things even are.
Multiple instanced that basically contratict ALL other instances ever... wow...
Bro u just copied it from someone else I saw that on anouther video
I've always thought about wand making like any muggle technology. The first wand cores were affixed using a delicate and fine control over the crafter's internal wandless magic, only possible by very naturally gifted witches and wizards, resulting in a rough generation of proto-wands which were in turn used to better bind new cores, only obtainable through the use of the proto-wands magic now possible, to more wands that ended up being better than the first generation. After that the difference would be noticed and a wand crafting specialist class would emerge.
Wat if one wizard made 2 brother wands and dual wielded them?
The question I've asked more than any other Harry Potter question ever!!!
Much like how Lightsabers are made, how Sonic Screwdrivers are made and so on.
I saw a magazine article about how to make a lightsaber back in 1999
Can you make a video about all the types of wand cores
I think he did do such a video already.
would love to see that and with "The Want chooses the Wizard" part, an in depth explanation of how a wand chooses the wizard. does it have something to do with what how the wand is made.
Justin Hernandez I think that u can use almost anything as long as it has some kind magical property
@@solcohen9042 Common cores: unicorn hair, dragon heartstring, and phoenix feather. Harry and Voldemort have phoenix feather wands (from Fawkes).
Katheryne Koelker yea ik
Who else wants an Ollivander movie?
Sadly the olivander actor passed away.
I'd prefer a Hogwarts founders book and or movie.
I’d want a marauders movie/book
@@KonohasEdge I was talking about young ollivander. As in fresh out of Hogwarts, studying wand lore, and getting roped into adventure.
@@tokutickler yeah, but it should be done with the OG olivander too. He was outstanding! His and Harry's first meeting was just a scene of it own. ^^
Nice how you've combined the history of wand making with making a wand itself. That makes it even more clear.
I was curious was there ever an attempt to make a wand that had two cores?
Meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme meme
I think it would be like a ship with two captains. Can’t happen
Acroth Dragon or with every core
Yes,they are called dual cores,the second one is much less powerful than the first one but its added to make up for what the first core lacks
I thought I was the only one who wondered what unique circumstances would allow a wizard to use such a wand with double cores. Perhaps an ideal wizard would be a hybrid like a Fleur Delacour who was a witch and quarter Veela coz she can use Veela hair to access abilities from her Veela ancestry and unicorn hair which is compatible with her style of wizard magic particularly in charms. Then perhaps her wand wouldn’t be so inflexible.
i wanna know the history of magic, all the way from the first human discovering raw magic to the events of harry potter.
If I attended Hogwarts, I would have a wand maker career definitely ! From the first time i read the books the science of wands fascinated me: how are they made and how do they choose the wizard ...
amazing video 😍
Actually u can go to hogwarts in real there is a parralel realm of hogwarts just find the door which u can go there but u losee all ur memory and u don't know whats the other side
Cool, I would be a explorer supplier going around collecting and gathering resource ingredients etc for wands and potions etc and you could experiment making new types of wands , I was wondering if you could make a wand using the basilisk skeleton in Hogwarts or the giant spider aragog lol
I would love this too. And likely try more modern materials or more sustainable woods (bamboo and hemp for example). With both hemp and bamboo it could easily be farmed. Imagine experimenting and discovering that acrylic made an excellent 21st century wand material.
I don't believe they teach wand making at Hogwarts. The schooling system is... a bit peculiar and we don't know much about studying possibilities after Hogwarts... Do we?
@Tht it seems that they follow the older (and better) educational training through apprenticeship. I would imagine Ollivander had apprentices through the years (without giving away all his secrets). He didn't have children so someone would need to be taught to take over.
I've always wondered about the wizard that tested new wands, they must have been very brave like the test pilots back in the 40's and 50's. I bet many of them met their ends from a badly paired wood and core.
3:17 count dookus wand on the left
That’s actually Belletrix’s wand but I know what you mean about the curved hilt just like Count Dooku’s lightsaber
1:03 EYY THAT'S MY WAND! Got chosen at Universal, Reed, 15 1/2 inches, pleasantly firm, with the core of a Dragon Heartstring.
Me too!!!
Mine is 16 1/2 inches pretty flexible,dragon heartstring core and applewood
Mine is Rowan Wood, pretty flexible 13 inches with a Dragon Heartstring Core
Ebony wood with a dragon heartstring core, 13" and unyielding flexibility
I'm surprised they never had any references to staffs. I would assume a staff was used before wands were created.
Yeah. I think its just Mad Eye Moody that uses a magic staff/walking staff.
@@NotHere07 And Hagrid his umbrella.. at least in the movie.
No. It’s in the books that hagrid uses the umbrella to cast spells.
Loved this video! I think I asked about a year ago how they were made. Thank you! Very interesting!
Remember also that James Steward, a No-Maj, created wands with the help of Isolt for Ilvermorny students. Now that is impressive!
I think we have to remember that pretty much everyone back then had the had some level of Woodcraft skills or someone in their Village that was a dedicated Carpenter. My theory on that matter is pretty simple. He looked at and studied how the wand Isolt had looked and then simply carved wood she told him to carve into a similar shape but with different designs. He would have used a hand drill or a bow drill to very carefully make the hole where the core would be placed. So the physical work of making the outside of a wand is something completely within the skills of a no-Maj Carpenter. Adding the core would have been his wife's prerogative and because the two wands that we know for certain James made used shavings from the Horn of a horned serpent. You're talkin about a relatively small amount of material not something long, skinny and difficult like unicorn hair or Phoenix Feather or even dragon heartstring. Which presumably you need to have at least a few inches worth of these longer materials to get enough inside the wand to do anything. The horned Serpent's horn being a denser material you probably didn't need nearly as much of it as far as deepth into the wand is concerned.
This relatively easy set being the first wands he made makes a lot of sense.
Overtime making a lot of them I'm sure he would get more and more skilled at it. But when you consider that no-maj fans of the series all of the world put bits of wood on turning lathe, all the time making wands that look like the ones in the movie and are described in the books. It's clearly a skill that's well within the realm of what someone with no magical ability at all can do.
What separates wands in the Magical World from things that we can do in real life is the existence and in some cases even control of these magical creatures enough to have a steady supply of working wand cores.
Impressive that ilvermorney made it .
I thought he did it by himself... Like with no guidance
@@steviebaybee it's the American term for Muggle bud...
@@steviebaybee it just doesn't roll of the tongue quite like muggles does
I’ve missed your videos so much!
I'm back for good :)
Harry Potter Folklore glad to hear it!! ❤️
I think whoever discovered the idea of channeling their magic through a stick was likely in a wizards duel and were about to be defeated when they grabbed the nearest branch lying upon the ground and without thinking yelled out the killing curse and found the magic flowing somewhat through the branch and killing their foe, also I think the branch likely caught fire because the cores would regulate the flow of magic and act like a tap to control the flow of magic!!
Uagadu is a completely wandless school in the modern hp world
Yes they don’t use wands for the majority of schooling but they have adopted wands from Europeans
That's true, leaves me wondering though, should magic be taught without a wand first? Does it make the witch or wizard more adept in the long run? I haven't looked into the jkr wand lore too much. I really enjoy it though I've used aspects of it in my own wand/ magical weaponry lore
@@richardchisenhall387 I'll posit that it depends on the culture the magic user is raised in. European magics, at least in literature, seem to incorporate wands (or wand-like tools such as staffs) a great deal more than magic from other (generalized) cultures. For other examples, magics in the Americas seemed to be based more on herbalism and/or astronomy/astrology, while some Asian magics incorporate body movements to a stronger degree and classically have a different set of "basic" elements as well as a very different zodiac. (NOTE: I am including a very limited number of very limited examples for clarity's sake; there are plenty of other forms of magical practice in the Aboriginal, African, and Pacific cultures.) About the only magical tool I know of that seems to be almost universal is the poppet/doll, even though they may represent different things in different cultures.
I was always under the impression that they focus on wandless magic for the most part, but that they do use wands for some stuff. I mean, look at European wizard schools, lots have hard time performing magic without it, so I'm sure in africa, and even Asia and Brazil and the others, that it's the same case
Does that means expelliarmus is useless?
2:50 I like to think that based on Ollivander's comment in The Wandmaker Ch. 24 of the Deathly Hallows, that any instrument can be used to channel a wizard's magic, that the first wands were not wands at all, but everyday weapons such as swords, spears even axes, they would cast enchantments while holding their weapons in battle, and upon noticing a much more powerful/effective incantation, they began to experiment, and thus wands were created
I always thought the wood was made flexible and then the core was rolled into it like a fruit rollup
That would be interesting
or it is made as the tree/branch grows and the wood embeds around the core
My wand is very flexible like more then it should be
I thought it was cut in half and the core is just squashed in there
Fruit roll up core sounds awesome and delicious 😋
Glad to have you back. I hope your break got you the rest you needed.
Man I don't know why, but I find Slytherin's wand to be one of the most fascinating things in the lore. Imagine having such high affinity for snakes that he can pull off the pairing of snakewood and basilisk horn. It seems like an obvious pair but if it was that natural to combine them it would be a lot more common occurrence especially within the Gaunt family who were proud parselmouths
Nice breakdown for the Potter Universe. But I'm surprised you didnt go into detail on how Rowling chose what wand went with what characters. The woods are based off of the Celtic version of the zodiac. Each wood has characteristic. You can actually match these up pretty well with the owners. But not only did Rowling take that detail, but she also includes the length, which is a big part. She must have done a lot of planning ahead. You can take the length of each person's wand on the books and using numerology, it will give you the matching characteristics of that character. It's pretty impressive that she went that deep into building the foundation for wands and their meaning and how they are matched.
I also believe each h of the character's names are supposed to match to what kind of person they are in numerology also, but I could be mistaken on that part.
thats really cool, thanks for the extra info
Very interesting. I wasn't aware that numerology or zodiac was involved in the making of wands.
Loved the way how you related the existence of Gods with the wandless magic before wand were made .
Great video , ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🔥💎💎💎 Dean
What if Percy was sorted into slytherin
What if harry killed bellatrix at the ministry
What if sirius raised harry
What if James and lily survived
What if voldemort gave snape the diary
What if remus wasn't a werewolf
Yes, I would definitely be interested in watching all of these topics for the next vids! Except for the 2nd choice.
What if Voldemort gave snape the diary is the most interesting of all of these
what if voldermort and harry potter were never born . we wouldnt be subbed to this channel i suppose lol
All of these!!!
Damn, that wrecks the whole history of Harry Potter
"please only support me if you can afford it" you're so awesome, I love you 🤗
Glad you’re back from your break!
I know your a proud Slytherin 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚 but with all your knowledge in H.P content you could be a successful Ravenclaw 💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙
More like Gryffindor, based on how much he sounds like Dean Thomas.
He says he's got a lot of ambition. I'm a Ravenclaw btw, I have wit and intelligence, I value wit and intelligence but also ambition. I think I can do with being a Slytherin but I would question the sorting if I got Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, I'm not that kind nor that brave
Was hoping for a bit more information such as how they decided a length, how they harvest the cores, do they have farms for dragon's and unicorns, etc
This what I believe when it comes to wand making.
As you’ve stated, a wand focuses and extends the power of the witch, or wizard who uses it. And,as you stated, there are two main components to a wands construction; the wood and the magical core within it.
Wood, unlike a more solid substance, such as a metal, has many unique qualities that make it ideal in wand lore. There are several types of wood and each is unique in its own particular way. For example, each type of wood has its own brand of strength, it’s own type of liner cell structure and density. And each can enhance a particular core in a different way.
Part of the craft in making a wand has to do with the way a core is placed in it’s wood host. Will it be placed folded in a clockwise, or counter clockwise position? Will it be placed with the narrow end up, or down? And so forth.
Another consideration is the depth of the core hole in to which it is placed, the thickness of it’s host, etc.
As you mentioned no two wands are alike. And each who uses it will have different degrees of success doing so based on these factors and others.
Your grammar is almost perfect. Stop starting sentences with “and”
What if we made a wand out of a piece of the magical whooping Willow tree outside Hogwarts with a Phoenix feather or dragon heartstring core it would be very interesting and maybe very powerful lol
This is nice info im trying to create blueprints for different wands from the potter world. This will help alot thanks!
Well... I mean, Lily Evans could make a flower bloom without a wand.
Harry made the glass disappear in the zoo and made aunt Marge into a balloon wandlessly.
The ideal behind the old gods being magicians makes so much sense on such a bounding scale. Wow.... Haha I love your videos, even after all that time away, always.
Can you make a video on creation of spells
"One wand is needed to make another." It's a simple, but profound insight, the single most important thing said in this video . . . and it explains so much.
What about the muggle that made a wand with the serpents horn? The muggle that ended up marrying the founder of ilvermore school. He knew nothing of wand lore, he was a stone mason. But somehow crafted a wand for the oldest boys 11th birthday, with no knowledge of how to or by using magic. So how did that happen?
Magic helped him.
Fantastic video! I think the core comes first and then the wand maker would magically encourage the chosen wood to grow up around it, encasing the core completely ready to be carved.
Imagine a wand with a core of a human hair or like another body part. That would be gruesome.
Wand cores are a magical substance.
@@FreedomAnderson wizard hair
@@za-za2748 - That alone has no magical properties.
With the drop of Wizards Unite, you are badly needed. Thanks for coming back
So glad you’re back💙hope you enjoyed your break💙one of my favourite parts was about the discovery (at the beginning) and did windless magic become more powerfully later after wands? I don’t know if it said it in the book or somewhere else but yeah💙💙💙loves the video💙

LOVE YOU DEAN we are always looking forward to your vids and love the new intro by the way
Thanks Dean means alot I have depression and when I'm not crying I'm watching you
So wands are like technology to them.
no
I just signed up to your patreon. Great vids and great work. You've taught me alot more fun facts and theories about potter and I truly love it. Thanks again.
Keep up the wand lore as much as you can, ive tried to research it myself but to no avail. I love your videos!!
I have a question. Can a person custom make their wand design or do they have to stick with the wand that "choose them"
This was a fabulous video. A pleasure to watch
thank you so much I've spent the better part of six months for a solo campaign im in trying to figure out how the first wand was made and it drove me to the brink of just giving up on it.
you sir are a hero
Oh my gosh I love this video. It has a different feel to it. I love it! 😍
.... plastic injection molding, that’s how wands are made
SeedlessJellyBeans yes. They handcrafted a “ master” copy of each wand out of wood and then made a mold of each wand so they could make as many copies as they needed.
Been waiting for this video to come about
Same
Thank you for a great birth day present. I have been hoping for a "how to make a wand" video for a long time, and you delivered it for my birth day today!!!
Imagine if a wand was made with two dragon heartstring cores in elder wood. It would be OP.
Imagine a dementor essence core
“Dementor wrappings”?
Or take the basilisk skeleton from Hogwarts or the giant spider aragog to use lol
Imagine a handful of threstral hairs in a elder wand going off like a nuke lol 😆
I'm studying wandlore, this video will really help me. Hihi, TY
This is the first time I was early on your channel
What do I want to be when I grow up? A wand maker! Seriously, I'm practicing!
I've wondered why no one thought to put the Unbreakable charm on their wand, to prevent it from being broken.
I cried a little inside when he used Cedric as the background for the killing curse🥺
Do a video what would happen if Remus Lupin stayed as the DADA Professor in the 4th Year of Harry, also do a one which is: What if Peter Pettigrew died in the Prisoner of Azkaban
I always wondered what would happen if Remus Lupin stayed as Professor. It would have to be if Snape never blurted out his secret, or if Hogwarts itself lasted with parents pulling their kids out od school?
In the movies, when the wands are snapped on purpose it looks to me like the core is broke also
The core could be inserted by drying the wood completely, making a hole in the handle for the core to fit and rehydrating the wood. This would make it so that the core could not slide out
I think that wand evolved from canes or staves and gradually became shorter. Also, it is kinda implicit that outside of Europe they become less common, so I imagine that there are other magical objects, created by other magical cultures that can be used as a focus. I imagine that magical gems and minerals must also exist (like the ressucitation stone), or ways to enchant metal (like the goblins do), to become conduits...
I subscribed and turned my notifications on
good
Missed you so much but this vid made up for all of it! Best video of yours till date, honestly. The. Best. Ever.
Lots of love
This is a good video, but I'm still left with that one burning question, how did they get the core into the wood? Unfortunately the only answer we seem to have is it's magic.
they probably put it in one end of the hole and summon it through the other end.
@@CHLOCHLOLP but we never see a hole at either end.
@@ladykoiwolfe they probably cap it with a wooden peg or fill the hole with a sort of resin. If the hole is super tiny, only as big as the core, you wouldnt be able to see that unless you looked close at the ends.
@@CHLOCHLOLP i dunno seems too muggle of an approach.
@@ladykoiwolfe they dont do eveything differently, they just use magic to help a lot of the time.
Thank you for explaining that, Seamus
Are Wand Cores pieces of the souls/life forces of whatever animals they're taken from, and is this why Wands are quasi-sentient?
At the very least, an echo of the soul.
Thanks for the video, wand making is one of my all time favorite Harry Potter topics
Ok but aside from all of this...
Why the hell did they use a big stick for James’s wand in the order of the Phoenix when harry saw some of snakes memories.
Might have just been a camera angle issue
Love the Age of Mythology pictures!
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away magic was known as "The Force" ? 🤔
Dear Dean; What kind of a little genius are you? Fascinating.
"How It's Made Wand" anyway nice video gj.
In the movies it always made it look like the wands flexibility was based on its literal ability to bend, and that this ability to bend in the literal sense was representative of the ability and willingness of the particular wizard to change and "bend" their mind and ways if you will. Hence why in the movie, when Harry brings Ollivander a wand that had once belonged to Draco and a one that had once belonged to his aunt Bellatrix, draco's was "reasonably pliant" and bellatrix's was "rigid"because when Ollivander went to bend it it wouldn't Bend. Thus symbolizing the unyielding nature of Bellatrix and the malleable nature of Malfoy
Yeah that's what I thought too
"This video is sponsored by Ollivander"
A while back, I read a braille-embossed encyclopedia of the Harry Potter lexicon.
Apparently, a wand can be made of stone or metal. Bone and ivory had also been used, I think.
My pottermore wand is:
Chestnut wood with a Phoenix core feather 13 ¾" and Hard flexibility
Exactly the same but Ebony Wood for me
evilwarcow my pottermore wand is apple dew, unicorn hair, and pliable and 11 1/2 inches. But my physical one is ash and cherry wood, unicorn hair, flexible, and 14 1/2 inches and it has fox paw prints carved into it!
Mine is Sycamore Wood wand, with dragon heartstring core.
Mine is rowan wood phoenix feather core 13 inchess slightly yield flexibility
👏👏👏👏👏
Top notch!
Always great content from you, but you need to know that you are improving, end-over-end, sir 😊
I sometimes carve wands in my spare time.
This makes me think about Ron Weazleys wand breaking in half
U should do a video on Harry’s wand after being repaired by the elder wand
According to the Celtic Tree Zodiac. If you had a wand it would be made from a current wood depending on you're date of birth (not the year, just the day and month)
