Product Information

To use a real world analogy, imagine a wand being a human assistant flunky. If he gives you his allegiance, he will do better work for you than someone merely hired to do the work - that's how leadership works. If he gives someone else allegiance, he will do the best work he can for them. Ron used the wand in 1997 when battling against Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle at the Luchino Caffe along with Harry and Hermione Granger when the Trio was accidentally found by the Death Eaters after they said Voldemort's name and as such unknowingly triggered the Taboo. [7] Made for him by Mr. Ollivander (who was forced to do so) and in the end taken from him by Ron Weasley by brute force rather than by magic ( DH23, DH24). The character is highly popular. Ron was chosen by IGN as their third favourite Harry Potter character, who said that Ron's status as comic relief made him "instantly endearing" and that his frustration and flirtation with Hermione Granger was a "highlight". [14] His friendship with Harry is listed as among the best portrayed in literature and film [15] and his friends-to-lovers relationship with Hermione Granger is often referred to as a fan favorite and one of the best pairings in the series. [ citation needed] However, many fans disapproved of the pairing, and Rowling herself has admitted in a 2014 interview that the relationship was "a form of wish fulfillment" and "that Hermione and Ron would probably need relationship counseling". [16] Portrayals Film series Wands are created from wood with some magical substance at its heart. Wands are classified by means of four characteristics: length, type of wood, quality of motion when waved, and type of magical ingredient. In Britain, the most well-known wandmaker is Mr. Ollivander ( PS5, GF18). His shop, Ollivander’s (Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.) is located in Diagon Alley. Another European wandmaker is Gregorovitch ( GF18). When a wand is damaged or broken, its effects can be unpredictable, even if patched together with Spellotape (CS, esp. CS16). If the damage was magically-caused, the it may be irreparable ( DH18, DH24).

Most human magic is done using a wand. The wand serves as a tool to focus and control the magical energy of the spell. It is possible to cast spells without using a wand, but for most wizards results are unfocused (CR). House-elves and goblins are not permitted to carry wands, which is a matter of some resentment, especially for the goblins ( GF9, DH24). Cedric Diggory: pleasantly springy, 12 1/4″, single hair from the tail of a particularly fine male unicorn

The wand was made out of elder wood, the rarest of all wand wood types, using a thestral tail hair. Both are incredibly difficult materials to work with, and the wand is said to only work for those who understand and accept the inevitable reality of their own mortality. It's also said to only work for those who earn the wand in combat and will refuse to function for someone if it deems another wizard around them to be more powerful.

We know from this answer that Dumbledore was probably born in late July or August. Matching them to the calendar (and assuming she would have used the same system) the most likely candidates are Holly and Oak. Cedric, like the unicorn, died. Fans for years worried that Ron might be destined to die as well. Confusion about Ron's wand In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Weasleys invite Harry and Hermione to the Quidditch World Cup. Ron is in awe of his favourite Quidditch champion, Viktor Krum. [GoFCh.7] [GoFCh.8] Ron is even more excited when Krum, still a student at the Durmstrang wizarding school, comes to Hogwarts to take part in the Triwizard Tournament, a magical wizarding tournament opposing the top three magic schools in Europe. [GoFCh.12] However, when Harry, underage, mysteriously becomes the fourth Tournament champion, Ron joins the dissenters who think Harry somehow cheated his way into the tournament and feels let down; according to Hermione, this stems from Ron's latent envy caused by being left out of the spotlight shared by Harry or his brothers. The rift is serious enough that the friends fail to make up for nearly a month. [GoFCh.17] They only reconcile shortly after Harry successfully gets by a fire-breathing dragon in the first task; Ron realises how dangerous the Tournament is and finally believes that Harry did not enter himself.But the wand was perfectly intact when Ron had it (before the Whomping Willow incident anyway). And as far as I can tell, there was nothing else deficient about the wand. What if Dumbledore's first wand was really the phoenix feathered wand that Harry bought at Ollivander?
