The wand was born in Europe BC, but the exact time is unknown.
Theoretically speaking, as long as you are a wizard, you should be able to use almost any tool with your magic.
However, the best results must come from the closest connection between the wizard and the wand. The wizard can use it to direct his magical power and focus the effect to achieve more complex purposes. It is like a ballast and amplifier in the non-magical world.
etc. function.
Traditional wandmakers have always believed that wands have almost living sentience:
Although they cannot think or communicate like humans, they can still display certain behaviors according to their own wishes. From the moment they find the ideal owner, the process of running in between the wand and the wizard begins. The wand learns from the wizard, and the wizard also
Learn from the magic wand.
Most wizards get their first wand when they turn eleven and begin their magical education.
Unless the wand is damaged, or the wizard's temperament changes so much that the wand can no longer be used, wizards rarely actively seek new wands.
For most wizards, wands are even closer than their partners, parents, and children... Very few people have more than one wand. There is some kind of wonderful connection between wands that affects each other. This is why few people in the wizarding world have the same effect at the same time.
Reasons to carry multiple wands.
Of course, just as there are time management masters like Neptune and Goddess in human society.
In the magical world, there are also many wizards who own more than one wand for various reasons.
For example, the previous owners of the Elder Wand, such as Elena who customized the wand and chopsticks, or...
"Sister Elena lent it to me when I was in the preparatory class at Hogwarts last year."
Luna glanced at her girlfriends around her and explained softly with some embarrassment.
"At that time, she bet me that if I could successfully perform magic with her wand, she would lend me the wand. As a result, although I later received a new wand from Mr. Ollivander, this wand was...
Lina never wanted to go back."
"Uh, um"
Elena blinked.
"But...this one doesn't look the same as Elena's one?"
Hannah looked at the wand in Luna's hand, and then at the wand in Elena's hand.
Although both wands appear to be made of black walnut at first glance, upon closer inspection you will find that no matter the thickness, length, luster... or even the decoration workmanship of the wands, these two wands are obviously not what Elena usually uses.
The kind of twin wands.
"Well, what Luna has in her hands is the original style."
Elena shrugged and waved the wand in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the bookshelf in the captain's room moved away silently, revealing a wall of hidden weapons behind it.
Apart from the unfamiliar metal firearms, the first thing that caught the attention of Hermione, Luna, and Hannah was the dozens of wands of various lengths and shapes made of various materials, most of which were in pairs.
, except for the "No. 0" wand at the top, there is only one lone wand.
It is exactly the same as the wand in Luna's hand. It was obviously produced in a series.
"Actually, I often change my wand because my situation is quite special."
Elena scratched her cheek and explained with a smile.
"...Wow! So many wands?! Are these all handmade and customized by Mr. Ollivander?!"
Hannah opened her eyes wide and looked at the wands of different lengths with a look of shock.
Hannah had some impressions of some of the blackwood wands. Looking back carefully, it seemed that she had seen Elena use them in school before.
However, most of them were special styles that she had never seen before.
For example, the kind of wand that looks like a sharp stabbing sword, or the wand that is so short that it can be hidden directly in the hand.
Birch, oak, elder, eastern greenwood, yew, hawthorn... This place is like a miniature Ollivander's wand shop. Almost all common wand body materials are available here. She even saw one
Ceramic, steel, stone materials.
"Well, these are all made by Mr. Ollivander himself." The little hair on Elena's head shook proudly.
"How is it possible? Mr. Ollivander isn't..."
Hannah looked at the wands with a dull expression, her young mind once again confused.
"I mean, he must be a very stubborn person? Doesn't he never customize wands for customers?"
As one of the three major wandmakers in Europe, Garrick Ollivander is undoubtedly recognized as the best wandmaker in the wizarding world today.
The one who was as famous as him before was Grigovitch, who was said to have owned the Elder Wand.
However, as the Elder Wand fell into the hands of Grindelwald, it gradually passed into the hands of Dumbledore.
The aging Grigovitch's skills in wandmaking declined rapidly.
Ollivander's Wand Shop quickly became recognized throughout Europe as the number one.
Many foreign wizards came to London specifically to buy a wand made by Ollivander instead of buying it locally.
Garrick Ollivander was influenced by the skills that had been passed down in his family for generations, and his talent showed early. He had great ambitions to improve the core and wood of currently used wands, and at a young age he was determined to improve the core and wood of wands.
And fanatically pursues the ideal magic wand.
The eccentric Garrick Ollivander is one of the few shopkeepers in Diagon Alley that Hannah, the Leaky Cauldron Princess, is afraid of.
He has a rigorous pursuit of his profession, is fascinated by the connection between wands and wizards, and is always talking about it.
And most importantly, Garrick Ollivander completely subverted the wizarding world's understanding of wands and wandmakers.
Before Garrick Ollivander took over the family business, wizards used a variety of wand cores.
A customer will often give the wandmaker a magical substance that they prefer, have inherited from their ancestors, or that the family trusts.
However, since Garrick Ollivander took over the family business, Ollivander's Wand Shop has never made custom wands for wizards.
Mr. Ollivander is a purist when it comes to making wands:
Garrick Ollivander believes that the core of the best wand will never be the whisker of the customer's favorite cat, or the fresh white branch that saved the customer's father from dying of poison, or the core of the customer's favorite wand.
The hair of a mermaid I met while on holiday in Scotland.
The wand chooses the wizard, not the wizard chooses the wand. This is the core point put forward by Garrick Ollivander in Wandology.
"Oh, yes, we don't accept custom orders. This is the specialty of Ollivander's Wand Shop."
Elena nodded quite seriously, spread her hands and replied with a smile.
"But I am not a customer of Ollivander's Wand Shop. Some time ago, roughly before the summer vacation, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Hogwarts, and the Destiny Group jointly signed an agreement with Ollivander's Wand Shop. I am now
He is the first shareholder of Ollivander's Wand Shop. These wands are not considered goods for sale, but are derivatives that emerged during the process of wand research and development and exploration."
The most important part of a modern wand is the core, which contains magical substances.
As a key weapon used by wizards to transmit and enhance magical abilities, most of the magic amplification of the wand comes from the magic substance in the core of the wand.
For example, the wands made by Ollivander used to use phoenix feathers, unicorn hair and the heart nerves of fire dragons as the core of the wand. Of course, the materials of other magical creatures are occasionally used, but generally speaking, they still adhere to the "magical creature" principle.
"As the core.
However, during Elena's year at Hogwarts, Ollivander tried a new material.
The mixed-blood Veela's hair is also Elena's hair as the core of the wand.
Be aware that no one other than humans, such as goblins and house elves, can own or use wands.
Paragraph 3 of the "Guidelines for the Use of Wands" promulgated by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the British Ministry of Magic stipulates the following:
No non-human creature is allowed to carry or use a wand. Especially for the goblins, the ban on the use of wands has always been the focus of conflicts between them and wizards, and has triggered several goblin rebellions in history.
However, what Ollivander never expected was.
As Elena's blood concentration gradually changes, he is forced to touch the previously forbidden area of the magic world.
The possibility of a non-human or magical creature possessing a wand.
