Has anyone ever wondered what happens to a wizards wand when he dies? Is it donated? Does it still work? Does it become less powerful? Can it be donated? Can it be stripped apart for its core? There are so many questions to ask when it comes to what happens to a wand after its owner dies. I’ll be answering all the questions I just mentioned along with the normal wand practices that occur when a wizard dies in todays video.

Beautiful fact from the page on wand woods on WizardingWorld: ''Where wizards have been buried with wands of yew, the wand generally sprouts into a tree guarding the dead owner’s grave. ''
Awesome
That is absolutely gonna make me cry
Does it become Groot to protect them ?
Wait did that happen with Voldemort because it was buried without his wand
@@KingKong-vp7yj In the books it doesn't say if he was buried or not.
No one:
Wands: My goals are beyond your understanding.
Oh I’m not like the wand at all...some would say I’m the reverse...
I’m glad we know just what the he’ll we’re talking about 🤣
The no one meme needs to end it’s beyond over used
Bellatrix be having that Count Dooku wand
Saltshaker 111 lmfao
🤣🤣😂😂😭😭
Ah, twice the pride, double the fall!
Joker That applies cuz she lost to Molly cuz she was to prideful
Sw fans who watch hp
GET SIRIUS AWAY FROM.....
oh.....
Ohhhhh
Oh crapbaskets
I like to think the wand dies so both wand and wizard/witch are buried together
I find that respectful and honorable
True, except if you win it against them in a duel before the death
@@Andy-qm2md Wand makers aren't the Apple of the wizarding world. While it's true that wizards and witches don't need wands to perform magic - they can use any object or none at all - it has been found that wands are the best at channeling a wizards or a witch's magic. In essence, they wouldn't be the iPhone of the wizarding world. They would be a fighter jet to your Icarus wings.
The wand is alive before it chooses its owner. It's like a lonely heart, longing for it's only match and once it finds it, it will stay loyal till death or till someone else proves a better match than what it first thought. Except for those few wands that doesn't change allegiance, what so ever. I look at wands a lot like I look at emotions. Emotions cannot be explained away. There are no logical sense to them and the more you try to make them make sense, the further into insanity you'll slip. The only way to understand emotions, are to accept their existence and allow them to live - both bad and good, they all must live. Live and then die, before being birthed into a new emotion. Like the life cycle of a Phoenix.
I believe so we know Cedric’s wand was buried with him and the elder wand was buried with dumbledore
Yes that was what happend to dumbledore and lord Voldemort stole it from his grave
My favorite bit of wandlore is that wands can be crafted by muggles. James Steward made the wands for his adoptive sons Chadwick and Webster Boot; as well as for other Illvermorny students. It fascinates me that despite not being able to use magic themselves, non-magic people can create the most powerful magical tools.
James did not create the whole thing. He only did the carvings but isolt her wife did the magic.
@@Aquafinity no, he crafted it, he even aligned the horned serpent horn.
Even if muggles can craft wands if given material the fact is that wands require wand grade magical wood and a core which normally comes from a magical beast and so the materials are thusly unobtainable to most muggles.
Please do a video on all the headmaster's of Hogwarts
Whatever Potter just did that 4 days ago
Dang. I was really hoping this was the answer to my question: What happened to Dumbledore's original wand after he acquired the Elder Wand.
We might find that out in fantastic beasts finale
@@pauliemueller2890 I bet it got destroyed in the aftermath of gis duel with Grindelwald
Paulie Mueller if they ever finish it. They slowed down on making them.
Probably in a box smoewhere.
It would never be destroyed deliberately. It held the secret of "Did I kill Ariana?" So while Dumbledore may never want to know...he would never get rid of it.
Also, i think "retrieving the core" would be so risky to prevent damage, that it's not worthwhile. Also, the core is not the wand with its memories etc, but it's heart. So, you would end up with a core...if usable, like any other core. Rather pointless unless you are desperate...and then you might as well use a resistive wand.
Neville Longbottom was using his dad's wand for at least two books (don't know when he got a new one). Ron was using his brother Charlie's wand for the first two books (new wand in book 3).
Thank you--I am reading HBP now, but not that far in yet. We'll see if Augusta is proud of her grandson!
Seems really unfair to me to go to hogwarts with a wand that resists you. especially Ron's with the wand materials that refuse to bend to a new owner. What could he even do the second year? Write essays?
Katheryne Koelker Good point
I could care less abt this...I wanna know what happened to Fawkes.
@@echochambers8418 A Phoenix is an extremely loyal animal. If they have one owner, they will not have another one again. Once Dumbledore died, Fawkes sang his song (lament) to mourn the loss of his owner during Dumbledore's funeral and then left to become a wild Phoenix never to be seen again
You and movie flame are like the gods of the harry potter world
And supercarlinbrothers.
Uhh what? -_-
@@somebodyyouknowtv2503 yeah
Agree
What about SCB? They are the best, above all of the others, including this guy.
Can't imagine how many wands lost their owners during the battle of Hogwarts
I wonder why Wandlore isn’t a subject that can be taught at Hogwarts 🤔
Because it is a complex subject and even the best of wandmakers learn new things everytime. It is a confusing subject.
True, but you'd think they'd consider offering a basic course on the subject. I'd imagine having a greater understanding of the subtitles of wands would be beneficial for every student.
@@Rj-pw7zs I agree
Think of wandlore, like structural engineering. Would you expect structural engineering to be taught in a grade school? No, it's taught at a university or college. Same with wandlore, ilit is advanced learning which would require several pre requisite subjects to be studied at Hogwarts in order to be accepted
It’s probably because there’s so much that we don’t know. If such a subject does exist, it’d probably be taught strictly in theory and how to actually make wands would be the practical side of the class, I.e, binding the wood to the core, actually carving the wood, wood and core selection, etc.
I think alot of questions can be answered by harry/Voldemorts wand. They are on opposite ends of the spectrum yet they share a core from one "Entity". Think about that. That same source chose 2 very different people. There are things that make them different there are things that made them the same. It mayb on those basis that a wand is more likely to change its allegiance or acquire a new owner perhaps even after death. I dont think anyone can just pick up ur wand even after u die. Perhaps that's the reason wizards are buried with their wands in the first place as finding a compatible match is not as likely as one may think. Obviously from Harry's trip to Olivanders there were a few wands that weren't even compatible with him and by extension wouldnt even be useable by Voldemort! Probably. This maybe even explain why it's easy to pass down wands in the weasly line. Even the hat recognized that "Another weasly" . There is a common personality or even core to their family. I wouldnt argue that blood is sufficient but rather their type of "Being". This mayb also why Voldemort can take wands from his followers as they are of the same thot.
Brilliant! I agree with everything you said! Well thought-out! 🌝
Yes! Very nice indeed! You got to the real examples! Very well put!
You're totally right! But one thing. I'm not offending you or something but it's "Weasely".
Same core from the same Phoenix yes, but the wood themselves are polar opposites. Yew is symbolized as having power over life and death, is poisonous in all parts exceptng the berry flesh and remains poisonous after being harvested. Holly is symbolized as having luck, prosperity and protection from evil.
With that in mind, and the fact that J K Rowling uses a lot of balance in her books Its not hard to see why a wand of Holly would pick Harry with his personality. Just as a poisonous Yew wand would pick Tom Riddle as a child for his clear desire to have control over others.
Charlie getting a new wand tells me that his first wand (Ron's first also) was likely a hand-me-down for him too. I doubt very much that a wand that would accept say Percy Weasely would also accept Fred and George.
honestly, your videos are so consistently good and you really deserve the subscribers you have.
big up george and more!
What I found intriguing about Neville’s case is his resolve changed when Bellatrix escaped, and his determination on his parent’s behalf maybe won the wand over at last when he really buckled down because of the thought he may have yet to face his parent’s torturers in battle. It was like the wand was biding it’s time, seeing what would become of its new owner. And it’s new owner rose to the occasion when the threats to his family resurfaced o the wand was accepting of Neville at last and he was finally able to learn what he needed to and become a strong wizard in his own right.
It took me years to figure out that a wands flexibility wasn’t about the wand bending, but the wands tendency to change owners
So another question , if the Elder Wand is powerful enough to repair other wands if they are damaged, is it powerful enough to fix itself?
Did it survive all those centuries because it was self repairing, and if so, will it surface again even though it was apparently destroyed ?
Wow - nice question, never really thought it that way...
Edit: and it wasn't destroyed - in the movie it is but in the books I think it's placed back into dumbledore's grave.
Brenda May Fuller interesting thought experiment, as mentioned above though, in canon the wand was replaced into Dumbledores grave and Harry doesn’t repair his wand with it, that’s just to movies. If the movies were canon than I think your theory could have some legs 👍
In the movies Harry is now the to rightful master of the elder wand and he breaks it so it depends if your basing this on the movies or the books
@@RoadkillbunnyUK Harry does repair his wand with the elder wand in both.
I suggest you to read the books if you can.Elder wand's power will fade(dissapear) if his real master dies by natural way or in the other words if he dies undefeated.Dumbledore wanted that,he knew the evil that the wand brings,but because of complications it ended in Harry Potter's possession.Harry did not want to use it and he wanted to die undefeated so the Elder wand's power would dissapear and cause no more harm.He repared his old wand with Elder wand.I think he put Elder wand in the Dumbledore's grave,but i am not so sure of it.Books are way more easy to understand than the movies.🤓😊😊
It gets buried with him
It's interesting that you bring up Nevil. From the start of the book, he's regarded as being nearly a squib, but then something happens. LeStrange breaks out of Azkaban and Nevil approaches all of his spellwork from the perspective of getting revenge against LeStrange for what she'd done to his father, the previous wand owner. From that moment on, Nevil's magic becomes increasingly proficient and effective. It's as though the wand finally had a reason to work with Nevil.
There was enough magic in Neville to get him into Hogwarts (I believe he explains this himself in book #1). And Ollivander mentioned that it is difficult for a wizard to work magic with someone else's wand.
Wands channel magic essence which can not be described as living or dead. Saying a wand chooses it's master is just being polite. Wizards don't know exactly how it happens but only that it does. They still can't exactly explain why muggle born wizards/witches occur only that it does.
Wands are a unique tool to most wizards but not all wizards use wands.
The Elder Wand is even more unique as it was crafted by death itself.
What puzzles me is: What happens to a wand when when it's owner(who created horcruxes) dies. Voldemort created 7 Horcruxes, but still died. So what happens to his wand now?
If a wizard splits his soul more than once(like Voldemort), how would that spiritually effect the wand?
THE WEASLEYS MIGHT BE AS RICH AS THE MALFOYS NOW AFTER THEIR KIDS
Bill is a dragon trainer, Charlie Is a Insane athlete, Percy has a very Highly Ranked Job in the minastry, Fred and George Made their own SUPER unique Store thats really popular, Fred Sadly Did died Fighting In War (which he did help alot during the war tho), Ron became The First ever Aurer Who Didn't Get Outstanding Grade in his OWLS and Two years later he started to help Heorge on his shop, And Ginny Became a pro Quidditch player (simmalar to Charlie) and is Also married to Harry (who is probably rich) not to mention Rons two bestfreinds that probably gave them some money to help them (Harry Potter and Hermione Granger) who Harry Is the head of the detective agency in the Minstry And HERMIONE IS LITTARY THE MINISTER, And Also Everyone I just named are insanely popular for being War heros In the 2nd Great Wizardry War
Harry,Hermione and RON had such I big deal in it that a three of them Have Chocolate Frog cards because of their heroism sooo basicly the Weaslys probably went from being one of the poorest families in the Wizarding world to One of the Richest Families in the world in like 35 years or less. Thats insane
Bill is a curse breaker, Charlie trains dragons.
The potter family were always rich due to useful inventions Harry's ancestors made. One of them even invented to skele-grow potion. And plus, Harry inherited Kreacher, money and (maybe) even the house itself. Although he gave many of the things he inherited to ted tonks (Who's grandmother is part of the black family), hes still very rich from the stuff he kept considering the black family os the most noble and ancient house.
ao_lets_go 123 Teddy Lupin
Ted Tonks was Teddy’s grandfather and was killed in the second wizarding war
Most wands will be able to perform after their partner’s death.
Dean, this was really awesome and indepth information about the HP World!! Also, thank you from bringing back the background music!!
Awesome Video Again Dean Keep Up The Good Work Bud
And remember in the real old days a magical person would sometimes bring a core to be fitted into a wand so it wasn't always like in the books or movie.
Charlie's wand was probably a family hand-me-down from a deceased relative. This would suggest that it was not a perfect match to Charlie and would explain why Charlie replaced it later. Fast forward to Ron, he gets the before-mentioned hand-me-down family wand and like Charlie, it was an imperfect match. Ron's magic greatly improved when he acquired a new wand that matched him better. Just like Neville, when he replaced his hand-me-down family wand his magic also improved greatly.
Love your videos man keep up the good work 💙🌸

One thing I wish you would brought up was the fact that Salazar Slytherin swarmed was eventually brought to America and used by his descendant is salt Sayre. And after it was put to sleep by her evil Aunt who was then killed. Isault buried this sleeping wand and it eventually became a tree. I would imagine that the wands buried with their Wizards would eventually becomes trees as well.
This was a GREAT video! Thank you!
this channel deserves more recognition
500k well done dean. Thats an amazing mile stone.. your the man! ;) your fav welsh subscriber ♥ xoxo
Your voice and accent makes the videos so much better 🤩
I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info.
i cant really afford to support you on patreon but i watch all your videos, doing great work man
YAY I ASKED FOR THIS VIDEO
This is earliest I've been on a video and it whas amazing
I like how you address the fact Magic as a thing, does not per say "need" to make sense - As it is by it's very nature something beyond our Muggle understanding. The plot though, should always make sense.
I tend to think of wands as part of the wizard's connection to the magic that's all around. Almost like the Force, if you want to put it that way. They have a natural connection, and then the wand itself becomes part of it and strengthens that connection. The wand will "choose" based on what kind of connection the person has with magic in general, and then will tune itself even more to them as they use it. The wizard kind of leaves a magical imprint on the wand that gets stronger the longer they use it. That's one reason Bellatrix's wand was so dangerous: It was tuned to her connection, which was very dark. It's the reason why a wand that has belonged to one person for so long will be more difficult for someone else to use, like how the wand Draco's mom gave to him didn't quite understand his magical commands.
But if the wand is used for a lifetime, the connection might be too strong for it to ever transition to someone else. Or for a wand that has seen as many owners as the Elder Wand, it might be able to adapt quickly to a new style, but will likely "prefer" a certain type of connection or natural strength.
It might not be that the wands themselves have a will, but that Magic in general does and it just manifests in certain ways in the way wands work.
One thing I would like to know, though: Bellatrix was in Azkaban for years. How did she get her wand back after escaping? And then she was using it during the Battle of Hogwarts. How did she get it back from Harry/Hermione? Did they drop it in the vault?
Great video!:)
I agree with you. Great explanation😊🎶
We don’t want to forget about Salazar slithering wand. It was past down and over and over until Gormlaith Gaunt finally had it. it was stolen by Isolt but still it worked fine for her.
My marathon starts right now... ❤️❤️❤️ Love u HPF 💋💋
Some wand are more loyal, and some more fickle- this can vary with the wood & core used to make it i believe(been a while since i read about wands or anything on Pottermore though).
I found this 3 days after it aired and I'm wondering why I did not receive a notification. I'm subscribed and rang the bell for all notifications. Not the only time this has happened recently. I'm guessing with so many people at home and online I am slipping through the cracks.
So within the first minute I started thinking that a wand is like a dog
There is Salazar's wand. It was passed down through his family until Isolt.
Yeah and the wand is now asleep thanks to Isolt's aunt. She spoke one word in parseltounge and since Isolt doesn't know the counter spell to wake it up, it's still asleep today.
I wonder what would happen if a parselmouth ever woke up Salazar Slytherin's wand in the states. How that could shake things up.
Well first they'd need to know the proper word. And as I remember (I might be far from correct here) the wand was buried in the ground. That person might not even know what they just did, if the wand was buried or not.
Yes, it was buried, and became a snakewood tree. So, that is an interesting question. Is any piece of it still functional? Under the tree, is it still a wand, or just mush and a basilisk fang. Can the fang core be reawoken and used? Granted, someone, somehow figures out Salazar's password.
We need Dean to make a video about this, what would happen to slytherin' s wand if someone figured out the password? Will it become active again or is it already destroyed ?
Very fascinating!
And I’m on your channel since along time
I feel 2 ways on this, I'd feel selfish having it buried with me, as I'd like to pass it down to my child, however if I had more than one child I'd feel selfish having to have to choose which child received the wand.
Im surprised you didn’t mention Salazar Slythern’s wand, it was passed down through the house of Guant and played a big part in the set up of the American magic school. It still exists hidden away in the magical world.
Amazing video
I think, in regards to Neville, it was just a lack of confidence. As with just about anything else, if you have no confidence in yourself, your performance suffers. Therefore, his magic was subpar. I’d like to think that his wand recognized that he was worthy to possess his father’s wand, it was just up to Neville to believe in his own power.
I have always wondered this as well. It should have been addressed in the books, considering all the death that occurs.

wand cores can be replaced, This is on the Wandlore page of Pottermore when discussing unicorn hair as a wand core
"(...) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may ‘die’ and need replacing."
I think you and movie flame have extremely passionate hearts to make so many videos for all the viewers for only entertainment purposes
Can you make a video about all
of Lupins jobs? Or talk about the Tonks family tree or there history, Ted Tonks is mentioned in the first book as a news caster in the first chapter. :) Btw I love your videos !!
I was always wondering this
"A wand is not a weapon. It's an extension of yourself, just like the magic."
I’m sure this has been answered before but I was wondering what happened to some of your “the life of” videos? The ones that are still up remain some of my favorite of your videos, just wondering what happened to the rest?
Nice video
Maybe the reason that the wands are re-used, is why the wands are so cheap, i mean the core is very rare things, and in the first book you see Harry pay 7 Galleons and he had just been in the chemist's shop and saw a unicorn horn to 21 Galleons so there is something wrong with the prices if it isn't because of the wands are re-used
thats only if thewhole horn is used for the wands you have to remember that it's only the core of the wand the rest is mainly wood so there probs that cheap because its only a small pieces of the core ingredient to make multiple wands
@@prayerko253 You realise that in the first book/movie, Fawkes only giving 2 feathers is said to mean that only 2 wands were made by olivander.
The wand power probably dies if dead unless disarmed or the wand could be weaker if not the wielded by the proper master
Look at Voldemort elder wand issue
you and movie flame are the best!!!!!
Maybe wizards have “donor” on their ID like how we have organ donors but they donate their wands
What is the music that you use in the background? This piano version is absolutely stunning!
i think i read somewhere that wands itself are not magical like brooms, they simply help the wizards to use their powers easily and channel it and wizards so powerful can learn to fly and use magic without these 'objects'. So i think it's just a metaphor for wizards and also because it's made by such extraordinary and unique cores it connects to the owners' powers. I think that explains 'the wand chooses its owner'
(just my opinion but felt that it could be very true and also thank you for always making these interesting videos!!!)

Perhaps Neville's wand was unique in the sense that he had to earn the wand's approval (?). As his father, Frank Longbottom, was a heroic, brave and outstanding figure, the wand was unable to adjust to Neville's initial dissimilarity to his father (probably provoking the wand to be less useful to Neville). However, as Neville 'got over' his fears and became a more prominent leader amongst his peers, finding his 'true' inner Gryffindor, the wand grew to like him and so became more co-operative. I'm not sure about this but, If we regard wands to be sentient beings than maybe a wizard/witch has to earn the wand's companionship through actions and ability (as opposed to their initial behaviour/appearance). (?)
You would think Neville's grandmother would know he would have problems using his father's wand.
I almost think Neville was underrated period. Im so glad he got to take naggini out😁
I think I remembered reading that George Weasley actually kept Fred Weasley's wand and later used it as his own wand and he gave his original wand to his son.
I think the reason for Charlie to replace his first wand was imply that it was worn down. If I remember correctly, Ron mentions in the Philosoper's Stone that the unicorn hair was about to fall out of it or something like that.
Hello, Dean! I think you and everyone here will find this excerpt about Hazelwood wands from the Wand Woods article on the Wizarding World site very interesting!
A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably. The positive aspect of a hazel wand more than makes up for such minor discomforts, however, for it is capable of outstanding magic in the hands of the skillful, and is so devoted to its owner that it often ‘wilts’ (which is to say, it expels all its magic and refuses to perform, often necessitating the extraction of the core and its insertion into another casing, if the wand is still required) at the end of its master’s life (if the core is unicorn hair, however, there is no hope; the wand will almost certainly have ‘died’). Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells.
My wand on the Wizarding World site is made of hazelwood and has a unicorn hair core. I use this wand as my Harry Potter OC's wand as well, so to use her as an example: When my OC dies, because her wand is a combination of hazelwood and unicorn hair, her wand will die with her, and become completely useless. The wand wood and unicorn hair will lose their magical properties, unable to be recycled and reused. This is another example of what can happen to a wand when its owner dies.
Voldemort: My powers have doubled since the last time we met Dumbledore.
Dumbledore:Good,twice the pride,double the fall.
You’re amazing
Epic video
Great videos. I love Harry Potter
I love it that starting from the 3rd HP movie, wands are designed differently to reflect the personality of the owner.
Neville, master herbologist; Carrot-shaped handle
Bellatrix, chaotic; Crooked wand
Luna&Newt, kind, pure-heart; natury wand
Molly, housewife, indoor type, do house works; wand's handle is of a mop
(You get the idea)
In the song of "Odo the hero" (Hagrid and Slughorn sings this song after the funeral of Aragog) i the song Odo's wand is snapped in two and burried with him after he died.
I luv your videos
But just one thing that even Harry wanted to ask but he couldn't, hope you'll answer it
Can u disapparate without a wand???
My opinion on donation's is depending on it's wood specifically and just it's flexibility in general (core, length & wood reaction). For example, if a wand was unyielding or a similar type of inflexible, but it's wood didn't pair strongly to an owner by itself, I think the wand would allow itself to get donated if it was the owners intention (we know it is able to detect such things such as the elder wand's sentience). But, if the wood type (as we see with Ron's ash wand) is one which bonds with it's owner, then no matter what happens, the wand will not yield. Just my opinion but I think it's interesting
I remember Ron Weasleys first wand. A hand me down from one of his older brothers. still worked ok(just) until he broke it
It's funny because when I am thinking about these questions in Harry Potter you always seem o post
I wondered about this for a long time, but I only started thinking about it after wondering what happens to a trainer’s Pokemon when the trainer dies.
A wand that is extremely attached to it's master might go crazy or become inactive when it's owner dies maybe only "waking up" when it finds it's perfect match
what happened to the wand i.e. Dark lord's wand, he case it aside for the elder wand, in that case then what?
The SuperCarlinBrothers has a theory about why Ron has so much trouble with performing wandwork and it has a lot to do with Charlie's wand, it's core, and wood type.
Wow it never occurred to me that both Neville and Rons wands was never originally “theirs” -as a possible reason why they could barely control their wands. Granted, Neville was definitely not confident in his abilities and Ron was just pure lazy (and also unsatisfied by always taking hand me downs) .... i dont think they both gave the same respect and honor back to their wands either.
Argus Filch comes from a long proud line of Wizard's. He is depicted as a squib, unable to perform the most basic magical tasks. His wand was handed down from father to son for many generations. Filch, being the proud man he is, would have never thought the wand wouldn't work for him, as it had for previous Filch owners. The wand was depleted of it's magical usage due to it's old age, not being the elder wand, it was a fancy stick. Had Filch ever decided to try getting a new wand, one that chose him, it is possible he could have been a person of decent ability
I was also wondering about it
I know differently.
There are two types of wand. Lended wand and pair wand.
It's a topic of real wizardry. In HP folklore wizards use lended wands who pairs with the wizard or witch throughout his/her life.
But the folklore tells one truth the wand chooses the witch or wizard for lended wands. Telling clearly that wands are conscious beings. They are having living properties.
But a wand never changes ownership. They take same time for making the relationship with next successor.
It is said elderwand chooses more powerful wizard. But it didn't choose the most deserving and powerful wizard Lord Voldemort. He had all the ferocity and risk taking spirit still the most powerful wand of the universe rejected him !! Why ? Is it because Harry was his master ? No.
It's to elder wand to choose. Is it because of his horcrux they are fragments of his soul energy all of them together forms him completely. So that doesn't disqualify him !!
One thing does !! Voldemort was weakest in one terms. He was extremely bad in mindset !! He just cared for him self and saw him as the greatest being of the universe. But that doesn't give a reason to justify why a power worshipping wand won't choose him !! The reason is very easy. Wands are living beings. Voldemort was not living any more also elderwand was not power seeking as every wand it also seeked functionality and synchronization. Harry Potter had those qualities, he was not a power seeker and he would do things at his best even if it is not enough. Thus the wand from the phenix and wand from death both betrayed voldemort.
There was only one problem with elderwand that elderwand was pair wand of death. So it wouldn't serve anyone better than death himself. Other than death only a transparent mind would get the service of elderwand. Like professor Dumbledoor. Knowing this truth elderwand was given by Death. Because that is the key which would let him get to those power hungry men and appreciate the power worthy ones.
So I think elderwand is called elderwand not dueto it's invincibility but dueto it's wisdom of choice making.
Have a great day HP fans.
Your the best harry potter youtuber ever apart from movie flame
I didn't even ask myself this question until I saw this video
If i lived in the magic world, id most likely havee wandlore and wandcraft as my lifestyle.
Its such a fascinating aspect of magic studies.
I'd likely pursue other means of channeling magic as well.
If I were gifted a wand, I would be very protective of it. Whether it is sentient or not, just the idea of it possibly being sentient would make me want to cherish it as a partner in all things magical. So I would hope the bond between me and my wand would be a powerful one.
Charlie's wand was ash wood and unicorn hair - so it is extremely loyal to its owner, no matter the circumstances. Thsi is why Ron achieves so poor results with it, too.
Good Vid
Could you make video about what happened elder wand at the end? Why movie was different. Why Harry didn't broke it at the book?
I feel like a part of the wand would be severed, making it a basic tool unable to perform complex or powerful magic. Burying it with its owner would appropriate, but if say in a battlefield its owner was to be killed, and it was to be used by someone else without theirs, it could still be applicable for survival.
Some wizards look like they sometimes cast spells with their hands. How do they do this?
