The Bloody Story of the Elder Wand (All Owners) - Harry Potter Explained

- Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, I’m going to be discussing one of the Deathly Hallows, in fact- I’m going to be discussing what is arguably the most important of the Hallows - at least in terms of the Harry Potter story. I am of course talking about the Elder Wand.
The elder wand is undeniably the most powerful wand in the Harry Potter universe. It was the first Hallow created, made by Death himself, and no other wand is its equal. The Elder Wand is made of elder wood, and it’s core is the tail hair of a Thestral. It’s 15” long and has carvings down its length that resemble clusters of elderberries. With the elder wand, witches and wizards are able to effortlessly produce intensely powerful magic that others could only dream of. Possession of the wand also meant that you could produce magic which was not otherwise possible, including things like mending other wands- something that could not normally be achieved through magic.
The elder wand, being one of the deathly hallows, is commonly associated with the tale of three brothers- Antioch, Cadmus and Ignotus.
“The eldest brother, a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. Death granted his wish by fashioning the Elder Wand from a branch of a nearby elder tree standing on the banks of the river. The second brother, an arrogant man, chose to further humiliate death, and asked for the power to recall the deceased from the grave. Death granted his wish by crafting the Resurrection Stone from a stone picked from the riverbank. The third and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, did not trust Death and asked for something to enable him to go forth without Death being able to follow. A reluctant Death, most unwillingly, handed over a part his own Invisibility cloak. The three brothers took their prizes and soon went on their separate ways.”
And that was how the Deathly Hallows were born- however, this was not the last time that death and the three brothers would meet. Each brother, under their own unique circumstances, ended up losing their life and met death once more.
So, Antioch was the first owner- but one thing that I thought was worth mentioning is that Albus Dumbledore never believed that the wand was actually made by Death. Dumbledore always assumed that the wand was in fact created by the eldest of the Peverell brothers, Antioch himself. However, regardless of who created the fabled wand - the fact remains- Antioch was killed and the wand no longer belonged to him. So, where did the wand go next?
According to Xenophilius Lovegood- "The bloody trail of the Elder Wand is splattered across the pages of Wizarding history."
After Antioch died- the wand was passed around from wizard to wizard-usually by violent means- which led to the wand acquiring a few different names “the deathstick” and “the wand of destiny”- an omen of death that alludes to the ‘bloody trail’ mentioned by Lovegood.

I like how the Elder Wand refuses to give you extra power during a duel and makes you win on your own ability to test your worthiness

I wish Harry Potter was back.I still miss the story. It was simply the best series. The amount of suspense in it was insane. I remember myself reading the book and watching Harry Potter movies and getting chills on my back. Nostalgia :(

I always wonder why Harry after repairing his impossibly broken wand, why didn't he try to heal Neville Longbottom's parents with the Elder wand?
I don’t if that’s possible that’s something so crazy that It might not even be possible in the wizard if the world keep in mid I haven’t the video so I don’t know if that’s possible
@@syedrameen4529 In the book Harry repairs his broken Phoenix wand with the Elder wand. Olivander had looked at his wand and said it was not possible to repair it by any means Olivander knew of. I just thought that Harry should have tried to heal Neville's parents since he had the most powerful wand in the world. Instead Harry put it back in the grave with Dumbledore's body where no one would know where it was.
Its also possible that the Wand is only capable of enhancing already existing spells beyond their limits. If a spell that can mend the shattered minds of the Longbottoms exists then it is unknow at the time Harry had the wand. Keep in mind it would be the same spell that could heal Lockhart and he is also permanently disabled beyond the abilities of known magic.
@@kaimagnus5760 Was just a thought. If reparo could fix a wand beyond repair then it could fix Frank and Alice. Remember, they did have some sense of who Neville was, or at least his Mom did. I just thought it would make a lovely end for Neville and his Grandmother.
@@MountainFisher Too bad Snape didnt make it. Between his ability to combine and create new spells he and Harry may have been able to come up with a human equivilant of Repairo (which only works on inanimate objects)
I've been waiting for a vid like this for sooo long, Harry Potter Theory, u are doing great work my friend, keep it up!
Grindelwald lost possession and true mastery of the Elder Wand when Newt disarmed him in the fight at the station in New York in FB1 (1926). That made Newt the wand's true master. Tina summoned the wand to herself before it hit the platform, but didn't disarm anyone in the process - it had already left Grindelwald's hand - so she didn't become true master. Grindelwald regained possession of the Elder Wand when he escaped from MACUSA's captivity, but he is no longer it's true master. Kama used Expeliarmus to disarm Newt in the sewers in Paris in FB2 (1927). So as of the end of FB2, Kama is the Elder Wand's current true master.
Exactly.
I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing it.
The Elder Wand changes allegiance each time its current master is overpowered beyond resistance, indipendently from the means. And this happened in both the instances you've perfectly mentioned.
I'd also stress 2 aspects. The first is that there seems to be a pattern with a Fantastic Beast "distracting" the audience from the ongoing change in allegiance of the Elder Wand. The second is the fact that these changes in allegiance (and I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see other ones in the next movies) may elegantly resolve the mystery about Dumbledore winning the Elder Wand's allegiance from Grindelwald. Because it means that Dumbledore may gain the allegiance INDIRECTLY from Grindelwald. Basically, if Dumbledore overpowers Kama (or a wizard/witch who overpowered Kama), he can become the master of the Elder Wand BEFORE gaining the mere physical possesion of the Wand. And this last change of allegiance may happen even at the last minute of the final 1945 duel.
@@TheBoss-vs7vs Yes, I had picked up on the implications for the famed Dumbledore Vs Grindelwald duel and had also expected the Elder Wand's true master to change, probably once in each FB episode.
I hadn't even thought about the elder wand changing possession in FB
One thing that always trips me up is how Grindelwald had the wand answering to him to begin with. It seems like every other instance of the wand changing Allegiance it was due to either being bested in a duel, being murdered or being bested in some way.
How it is always stated that Grindelwald simply stole the wand. Did he murder its previous owner? If simple theft was enough then Voldemort would have had the wand's Allegiance but that isn't how it works so why did Grindelwald have the wand answering to him to begin with?
@@XodiaqKey Simple theft is enough, but only if you steal a wand (it can be any wand if the true master is using it) from the Elder Wand's true master. Grindelwald stole the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch, who was it's true master at the time. Voldemort stole the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb, but Dumbledore had not been it's true master at the end. True mastery had already passed to Draco Malfoy when he disarmed Dumbledore on top of the tower, and then to Harry when he stole Draco's wand.
I'd say the invisibility cloak was the most important hallow in the Harry Potter series. Just due to how many times Harry used it through out the series in times he wouldn't have dotten out of without it

Yet, the Elder Wand defeated Voldmeort, the greatest Dark Wizard of their time, soooo, yeah.
@@TheBrickBuildingEnthusiast well, technically speaking, none of that could have happened if not for the cloak. harry used the cloak to eavesdrop on snapes death, then retrieve his memories and ultimately understand that he needed to die for the plan to work. also, it was draco malfoy's perfectly normal wand that deflected the elder wand's spell, so it was a joint effort between the elder wand and the unicorn hair wand
@@leo-kl9nh the last part is not totally true... Cause the elder wand recognized it master...Unicorn hair wands are not that powerful to deflect an avada kedavra...
@@-TheUnkownUser yes, but still, if harry had been unarmed, he would not have been able to cast expelliarmus, which ultimately deflected avada kedavra even if in general it wouldn't have had that capability

"You wanna buy a death stick?"
Voldemort: "YEESSSS!"
I find the wands to witches/wizards in Harry Potter to be strongly parallel to the lightsabers in Star Wars. In HP, the wand with a particular core chooses the wizard. In SW, the kyber crystal that powers a lightsaber chooses the Jedi. Both can be seen as general weapons for their respective individual, but it becomes the true and full extension of the one it's destined for.
And then the Elder Wand - the most powerful wand. Changes owners through disarm (or killing, depending on the situation). Very similar to the Darksaber.
Exar kun lightsaber was more powerful than the darksaber since hit was a dark side nexus
As much as I like the idea of the wands power breaking, I'd just like to point out that in order for Harry to achieve this he'd effectively have to make sure he was never disarmed EVER for the rest of his life or the wands allegiance would change. The only way to counteract that would be to disarm or kill the person who disarmed him before they were disarmed or killed by someone else. Pretty difficult task considering he chose to become an auror. In this sense, I did sort've prefer the movie ending where he snaps the wand in half as that way the wands power is truly broken. My only issue is that they never showed him repairing the holly wand
That's what bugs me so much. He should have broken it like he does in the movie. So much of this Elder Wand stuff is speculation. There is only so much that is actually said in the books about how it changes owners.
Yes, but just like Malfoy, the new owner wouldn't know the significance of disarming Harry. He wouldn't know he's the new master of the wand, nor would he know where to look for it. Whoever defeated him would have even less of an inkling. At some point, either the current owner would die undefeated, breaking the power, or whoever finds the wand would have no way of knowing who it belongs to currently.
The biggest problem with this is that there is no indication the power would break. Maybe once the wand no longer has a master, it would accept anyone that came across it.
Here’s a crazy theory. The elder wand is a naturally powerful wand, yes. It is truly at its peak power when used by its true owner. A wand that can not be beaten. But what if the true owner is and ALWAYS ever was the first Peveral brother? The wand was technically never “won” from him. It was stolen. And not stolen from an owner while in conflict like harry and draco, stolen unawares from a dead owner. So the ownership died with the first owner, but the legend lived on with the subsequent possessors.
Or perhaps the true owner had always been Death from the very beginning the ultimate fate of all welders is death
This channel is sooooo underrated!!!
Yes! I knew this video would come out one day and I knew I would love it!
I’d love to see a series about the era with “the death stick”
I liked how you reworded the passages, however I don’t think that death itself killed the eldest brother. Just another wizard who heard about the wand.
We were literally asking for this video in the comments of the previous video and here it is means you read the comments and take them seriously ❤️ l loved it
You bet! That's what inspired me to make the video
@@HarryPotterTheory ☺️😬
I know i'm late but my sister just bought me a really nice full size replica of The Elder Wand for Christmas. That got me back into Harry Potter after a long while.
The wand seems to have something in it that pulls it toward strong magician the same way a plant fallows the sun. Why would Harry think that it would lose its power when he died? It's not like other wands that seem to work best for their personality but just wizardly power.
I’ve been pondering this as well. For a wand that “must will duels for its owner,” it kinda sucks at winning duels 😂 if we assume that Grindlewald was the true master of the Elder Wand, how is it possible that he loses to Dumbledore? Likewise with the other previous owners who were ‘beaten’ in duels. I believe this is because ultimately, the Elder Wand was crafted by Death himself, with the intent of it killing the 1st brother (indirectly). So Death always intended for the wand to be unreliable and cause destruction. Because then Death could reap more souls from the wizards who were killing each other in order to attain the Elder Wand
@@dungusglumbus9946 I think grindelwald didn't want to kill Dumbledore or made a mistake and lost the duel grindelwald and Dumbledore were almost similar in magical power and skills with the elderly wand grindelwald became even more powerful
At the time of typing this I have not finished the video and is currently paused. That being said... the way you spoke the tale of Antioch arises a brand new question Atleast in the lore of the tale. If death took the form of another wizard and slit the throat of Antioch and TOOK THE WAND BACK... how did it get back out into circulation?🧐🧐.
I have this very same question. Why didn't Death reclaim his gifts?
@@laurenkyker2720 I would assume that the appeal of the lure (not lore) of the hallows legend would draw in others after the understanding of how they work spread through tales that it would incite violence giving death additional souls to compensate for the loss of souls from the 3 brothers creating the bridge... plus more. Atleast that seems logical to me.
I'll explain it to my understanding. Remember the story of the Hallows are more hyperbolic than realism. The creation of the Hallows are said to come from Death but some argue( like Dumbledore) the Hallows were actaully created by the brothers themselves. People said death created it as a means to spread the danger of each Hallow and what impact it had on each brother because all 3 died but the last brother died peacefully while the other 2 died out of misery and murder. To explain how the wand got back into circulation, the story was told that death came in a form of the wizard while in reality the wizard saw how powerful the wand was killing the brother and taking the wand( death wasn't really the wizard, but the wizard had the intention to kill the brother thats why death was used). The second brother died by committing( death wasn't present but because he killed himself death is involved in suicide.) The reason why death greeted the last brother peacefully as an old friend is because he died of old age( people that reach at great age are more frequent to accept death as they have lived their life good and so death visits them peacefully). The Wand came back in circulation because the first brother was killed and each wizard after that believe death was the way to achieve the wand, killing the owner of the wand will allow the all to switch. It was only until Grindelwald figured out that the alliance switches upon disarming the owner and it is not necessary to kill them.
Oh shitt this is the earliest I've ever been 😅😅 fucking pumped for the video man! Always top notch content!
It's crazy to think tht there's still stuff to talk about in harry potter u and harry potter folklore have made so many videos and yet there's still so much to talk about it's just crazy still love watching yours and folklores u guys make the best harry potter videos u guys make it so entertaining and not boring like alot of other people do
I don't understand how the wand only works for the next owner if bestest by another , but Grindle only stole it from a persons shop? Did it work for him still in that case?
Yes it did. Grindelwald knew disarming was only needed to gain ownership of the wand and he tracked it to Gregorovitch. When he got there he stunned him with stupify and disarmed him gaining ownership of the Elder wand. The wand will always work for the new owner as he defeats the previous owner and the wand will go the wizard who defeated him. Killing or disarming is a sign of defeat cause the owner of Elder wand did give his best before he loses or dies. Much like Grindelwald how he lost against Dumbledore cause Dumbledore best him. Its a complicated wand but very sensitive of what the user wants.
How exactly did Grindlewald gain true ownership of the wand? Is stealing it considered “besting” Grogorovich??
Grindelwald knew disarming the person the alliances switches and therefore tracked it to Gregorovitch. It is explained that Grindelwald stunned him and stole the wand but if you go in deeper in thought, the spell Grindelwald used to stun him must of been stupify and then Grindelwald disarmed him to steal wand. Thats how Grindelwald became the master of the wand. There are generally 4 ways to achieve mastery over the Elder Wand.
1.) By killing its owner, the alliance switches to the new wizard who becomes the master.
2.) Disarming the owner( without killing him/her) the alliance switches to the wizard that becomes the new owner.
3.) By mere force( such as Harry took Draco wand from him even though it was only an ordinary wand) the alliance still switches. Taking another wand by using mere force causes alliance to switch.
4.) Disarming, killing or mere force the wizard that uses another wand. If the owner of the Elder Wand uses another wand on him and he gets disarmed, killed or his wand taken from him by another wizard the alliance switches which causes the wizard to be the new owner.
The reason for this is that the Elder Wand is unique wand that senses its owner way of things and thoughts. The wand doesnt need to be on the owner to switch alliance because it senses loyalty and presence. Therefore not knowing how to use it properly can be a big problem.
@@w.c2255 I have waited 6 months for a response and you went above and beyond with your explanation. Thank you.
@@emanuelsegovia7250 my pleasure 😊
I actually never understood why Voldemort went for Grindelwald in his quest to find the elder wand. At that point, Dumbledore had already defeated Grindelwald in a famous duel. So surely, he would have known that the wand's loyalty now lay with Dumbledore and not Grindelwald?
Agreed
Didn't he think killing was necessary to become the wand's owner?
He didn't know where the wand was and Dumbeldore was dead. He thought grindelwald might know of its whereabouts
Voldemort was under the false belief you had to kill the owner yourself. Like a game of telephone I imagine he just heard a wrong version of the story, or Harry realized what happened when Ollivander mentioned Draco's wand changing allegiance upon being disarmed from him and realized that the Elder Wand did the same.
Please explain how the elder wand responded to Grindelwald while he just stole it and never killed or disarmed its previous owner
Grindelwald used a stunning spell on Gregorovitch before leaping from the window.
I thought he slit his throat for good measure.....and showed him jumping out the window
@@mrsdixon3524 no, voldemort killed gregorovitch when he told
him he didnt have the wand (deathly hallows)
edit: wand*
Thestral Tail Hair makes for wands of the least amount of loyalty and this is enhanced by pairing it with elder wood.
Quote from the wiki:
"They contain powerful magic, but scorn to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep an elder wand for any length of time."
The most powerful combination, but also the most disloyal. To tame Elder wood, pair it with unicorn tail hair, and to tame Thestral Tail hair, encase in Ash wood.
Because grindelwald is that powerful
this is very good i have to admit

Why does voldemort want the "prophecy" thing in order of the pheonix so bad?
@@michaelrosenwald1667 thought he knew about it long ago, that's why he killed the potter's?
@@michaelrosenwald1667 ok thanks
theory/question:
Did Voldemort became the owner of the elder wand when he “killed” Harry in the woods
(I know he technically didn’t kill but still kinda beat him).
In the final battle after Harry disarmed Voldemort he of course became its owner again, but I think it’s kinda interesting that Voldemort could have had the full power and possession in the final fight.
No Harry remained the owner the whole time. The Elder Wand is a special wand that senses loyalty and its owner thoughts. When Harry disarmed Draco( even though Draco had his own wand) the alliance still switched because the Elder Wand senses the owner presence. In the forest when Voldemort used the death spell on Harry he closed his eyes when that happen which caused the wand to do what Harry asked and therefore Harry allowed the wand to attack him on that moment. In the last fight when Voldemort tried to do it again on Harry the spell backfired killing him because Harry thoughts wasn't to be defeated and the Elder Wand doesnt kill its owner( only on request like the forest scene). The wand is very unique and therefore can do alot more than ordinary wand.
I think it needs to be against the owners will. Harry embraced death. Dumbledore didn’t expect Draco to disarm him. Harry forcefully stole Draco’s wand against his will
I’ve been binge watching you guys for the last month lol
5:30 Cool, I didn't know the history of the Elder Wand also took place at Burg Eltz in Germany :)
I wish I could learn ,just half of the information you accumulate and put in your work, amazing video 💯
I have a question: how is it possible that you can cast spells, without using words and with minimal movement? Love the vid BTW😉🥰
Non verbal magic is a common piece of magic that are taught to year 6 students. The reason for non verbal magic is to prevent people from knowing what spell is cast during a duel. In this same regard wandless magic is also a piece of magic but its very hard to master and only 5 people in the whole series has done it.
Grettings from Dallas✌
I wanted to know this for a long time
Never been this early btw love your videos
I think a really cool idea that should've been used for *_Deathly Hallows: Part 2_* as a proper sendoff for the Elder Wand was Harry using it to rebuild Hogwarts after the battle was over as a nod to when Dumbledore used it to repair the apartment Horace Slughorn was staying for a little while (as said by someone in the comments on a different video), then used it to repair his own wand (which was actually done in the book), and finally, to put an end to the reign of terror any future power-hungry wizards/witches would possibly bring onto the Wizarding World using it, snap it in half (which was what was seen in the movie).
But the ending of the elder wand is a loop hole. Because if harry dies natural death the wand's power won't die.
But the movie ending is better as harry break the wand so nobody can use ut anymore.
What is your take on this one..plz answer me if you can????😇
Wait, why won’t the wand’s power die if Harry dies a natural death?
@@lucascoleman6801 because power is in the wand on in the owner.
Still think this channel is amazing
You and are harrypotter folklore are my fav channels for everything harrypotter
This channel should have 214 TRILLION SUBS
This is what confused me about the elder wand if murder isn't the answer and disarming the wand is then how is every wizard that took the wand including Grindelwald able to perfectly use it but Voldemort who killed Snape and thinking he can use it doesn't work properly.
No, I believe murder is not the ONLY way to get the possession of wands, disarming the owner works as well.
that is because snape never owned it.draco disarmed dumbledore in the half blood prince.so its was draco's then in then in the deathly hallows when harry is fighting in malfoy manor,harry disarmed draco by grabbing the wands from his hand.so it was in harry's ownership in the end.
7:53 I don’t know why Rowling wrote that because Harry becomes an auror and will get disarmed sometime in his career so the person disarming him will become the rightful owner. In the cursed child Harry is disarmed by Delphini, So now she is th owner. But many Harry potter fans including me do not consider Cursed child to be cannon. In the movies Harry broke the wand which is actually great because no one can now fix this wand.
LOL I SAW SOMEONE WITH THIS TITLE BEGGING IT TO BE USED FOR THE VID AND IT HAPPENED
I know I could go to many places to get this info but you do this so well

5:29 For everyone: This is Burg Eltz, Germany
Beautiful little castle
The elder wand lies with him of course 😏
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I read the title like oh here we go. The bloody elder wand again. Ugh! Not the bloody trail of the elder wand!
I wonder why R.A.B never told anyone about horcruxes
If he had told Dumbeldore about the horcruxes .
I'm sure he would have looked.
He probably feared voldemort would find out
If Grindelvald stole the elder wand from gregorovitch's shop, he shouldn't have become the owner of the wand? Or did he disarm Gregorovitch and became its owner??
Yes he stunned him with stupify and then disarmed him. Grindelwald figured out Disarming the owner will result in wand to switch alliance. So yes Grindelwald did became the owner but how he knew how to do it lets me think Gregorovitch must of known first before him or he figured it out himself through his knowledge.
Great Video guys! I was not disappointed 😃
Yay i was waiting for this all day. Bordom has been cured
Your a legend man, keep on making this videos
The only thing that you left was, Harry repaired his original wand with the Elder Wand before he returned it to its resting place. In the movie which I disagreed with, Harry broke the wand in two and threw it off the bridge. In some ways it was a better solution than worrying whether someone would find it and go after Harry to master it. Then, of course, where it was returned to was not well known.
Is it canon that is death desgusied as a wizard who take the first brothers life. It only stays that death take the fist brothers life after he has been killed.
I love your content! Please make more!
Totally amazing video of the elder wand owners in the Harry Potters world and franchise too.
I love that if you’re British the title of this video is less of a description and more of an annoyance.
Been re-read and re-watch deathly hollows, and a question appears about elder wand owner.
The wand belong to Dumbledore right? Dumbledore, loses possession of the Elder Wand after being successfully struck by Draco’s disarming spell. And the wand ownership belong to Draco.
Harry Potter becomes Elder Wand owners after physically overpowering Malfoy at the Malfoy Manor. According the story, This is what made Voldermort never truly own the wand, even by killing Snape, who he think was the true owner because Snape killed Dumbledore.
Now my confussion start here.
On the story. Harry come to Voldermort in the forbiden forrest, and Voldermort 'killed' Harry. Doesn't that made Voldermont indeed become the elder wand owner by killing Harry?
Because Harry was a hocrux at the time of voldermort "killing" him it's considered something of a mulligan due to Harry being the true owner at that time and the wand can not truly kill its own true owner
I wonder if anyone has attempted or will attempt at making their own Elder Wand. It wouldn't be a proper Elder Wand, of course, but it might be pretty powerful still.
Brilliant, really enjoyed this video x
Could wand makers make wands with a core of any magical creature but they only use those few cause they are most effective or are those the only ones that work. I didn't even know you could have a thestral hair core
I'm getting the elder wond for Christmas :)
Thx for the idea😁
@@neelsuri1280 your welcome :}
In order to gain elder wand's master you need to either kill or disarm Santa Claus lol
There should be a sequel where a voldemort copycat trieds to arise 19 years later and Harry is forced to use his ultimate weapon if he's to stand any chance. But there should be a scene where he cries and laments at the thought of desecrating Dumbledore's grave to get the wand back. Then maybe he finds the resurrection stone and Dumbledore comes to him and forgives him.
It was probably for the best that Harry disposed of it. That would have painted a bigger target on his head. Though he should have kept one half just in case someone tries to restore it. Now both halfs can just be found.
Great title 👍
The cloak of invisibility is made of thestral hairs?
Anyone who has seen or witnessed death can see a thestral?
The cloak of invisibility can hide the wearer from death?
I'm pretty sure I have that all down correctly, but What?
Video or comment please.
Considering the fact that he had no desire to use it, it is worth pondering whether Dumbledore would have bequeathed the Elder Wand to Harry as a safeguard against Voldemort, as an additional layer of defense to his strategy to neutralize its magic?
I've always wondered this, thank you
Are you able to do a video on the Resurrection Stone?
Ok.......so where did the wand go after death stole it back from Antioch? Death transfigured into the wizard that stole it... so did he just give it to someone? Drop it? In my opinion this inconsistency is annoying
Death is not real in this story, it was only used as a personification or hyperbolic towards the story. The reason why Death is used in story as it tells us that each Hallow is associated with Death in a form. Remember the brothers created the Hallows not death. As for the wizard that killed Antioch I am not sure what happen to him but we know he died later too as someone else got ownership of the wand which means someone murdered him
@@w.c2255 Yeah I agree thats most likely he was murdered by another wizard. Which eventually led to it to grindelwald and dumbledore.
@@rasmusgarbonzo1411 Emeric the evil and the rest of the people acquired the wand through as history went on until somehow Gregorovitch got it in hands. Then it came to Grindelwald and Dumbledore but I believe the owner before Gregorovitch wasn't killed which would explain how Grindelwald knew killing isn't necessary to acquire the wand. Remember death is just a thing people believed that is necessary to acquire the wand while in reality disarming is all that is needed.
So death or the grim reaper is cannon is HP. I wonder if he’s mentioned anymore
Well the only reason Voldemort could use it with out dying was the Horcruxes .............
Also isn’t Voldemort daughter the last “owner”??
I'm not quite sure and haven't red the cursed child but if she disarmed Harry while he used the Elder wand or another wand then she might be the new owner as the Elder Wand will switch alliance.
You should write all known owners in the title I think, and btw how could Grindelwald become an owner if he just stole it from Gregorovich?
I'll explain it in a way that makes sense. Gregorovitch himself studied wanda and I believe he figured out that disarming the Elder Wand owner the alliance switches. Now Grindelwald was pretty smart and figured this himself out and it was confirmed. So Grindelwald tracked the wand to Gregorovitch and cast stupify on him stunning him and then he disarmed him. One must also take in account you can also take the wand from another by mere force such as Harry did with Draco( even though Draco had another wand. The Elder Wand still switches alliance cause it senses his owner presence and emotions.) So thats how Grindelwald got ownership of the wand but some say Grindelwald lost it at the end of the first Fantastic beasts movie but I am not sure its true cause if he did, then he must of known the wand wasn't his. The owner of the Elder Wand will know if it is his wand or not( much like Voldemort) the Elder Wand will not cast powerful spells or do any complex magic if the caster isn't the owner of the wand. Voldemort knew that cause he forced the wand with his power to destroy the protego shield protecting Hogwarts and it resulted in the wand cracking at the side.
@@w.c2255 I see your point, but in this case it seems to me that wands’ loyalty is quite frail and easily changable. So you go and buy your first wand which chose you and they place emphasis on this, but they forget to tell you that hmm if you are disarmed you are no longer the owner, sorry :D. And what about simple duels where you disarm your enemy, your wands switch owners all the time bouncing to one another? You could say that in a simple disarming you dont want to become the owner of the opponent’s wand, but neither did Malfoy want to become the owner of the elder wand, but he did. So I think this wand loyalty thing is quite floppy and not really reasoned, might be a plothole too...
@@richardolr1770 Like Olivander explained to Harry, some wands to change alliance after its owner is defeated but the Elder Wand is a very special wand. I argue too that how it changed alliance after Draco disarming doesn't make sense but the wand can doesn't need to be on the wizard to be disarmed as it senses alliance and loyalty. Like you said it is floppy and I agree but Grindelwald figured out that wand merely works only on disarming and killing is unnecessary thats why he stupified Gregorovitch and disarmed him for the wand. The wand I believe have cheated so many people but in reality if Grindelwald wasn't the owner of the wand he would of known. The wand resists if it isn't yours and it will refuse to cast any complex or difficult spell as it shows you that it only serves it master. Normal wands choose the better wizard after disarming the owner while the Elder Wand does work the same but it also is more complex and does what the owner says for instance killing the owner with the Elder Wand will result in the wand killing the caster, while a normal wand taken from the owner( without disarming)by the caster the caster can kill the owner successful. Its a very difficult process to understand but the Elder Wand is a complex wand and I can see why it is so much desired and dangerous at the same time. It betrays and saves you in occasions.
@@w.c2255 aah, it makes sense now, thanks!
So not only did the school not pay for ROn's new wand, but Dumbledore could have easily fixed it. Hmmmmmm
Nobody:
Ron weasly: eats all the food in hogwarts and is still hungry so he eats the hogwarts castle and is still hungry so he eats the earth
Plz no, dont give JKR ideas kupo
Great vid as always!!!
Can you make a video based on lycantropy? The desease itself, people who had it and how it apeared? :O
You make me remember the best series of magic
Good video Harry Potter theory it was good theory and I like the video too
I don't believe Harry's theory that disarming changes ownership of the wand and that is why he received ownership from Malfoy. The Elder Wand wasn't even present when Harry disarmed Malfoy.
It makes more sense that Malfoy never owned the wand and that Snape was legitimately the owner as Voldemort had assumed. However Voldemort didn't kill Snape (Nagini did) and Harry claimed credit for Snape's death by being the Wizard closet to him at his final moment.
Actaully the disarming theory is proved true cause Grindelwald was the first person to figure it out( Gregorovitch isn't revealed how he got the wand). Killing isn't necessary and disarming is the only thing needed. Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and gain ownership of the wand by mere disarming and defeating him. I understand your point of Harry but the wand did belong to him and I'll tell you why. Remember the Elder Wand doesnt need to be on the person to lose ownership of it. Draco used his own wand but when Harry took his wand by mere force Draco was defeated and lost his normal wand causing the Elder Wand to sense that Draco lost and was defeated feeling Harry is its new master. Voldemort struggled with the wand and he tried to cast power spells( spells his normal wand would of cast) but the Elder wand resisted. Therefore Voldemort forced the Elder Wand by using his own power to cast a powerful spell to destroy the protego charm around Hogwarts which resulted in the wand to crack at the side. Voldemort knew the wand wasn't his and merely believed according to the legend killing the previous owner you gain ownership and thought Snape was the new owner.
Also when Voldemort cast the cruciates spell on Harry to confirm he is dead( after he cast Death Spell on him cause Harry allowed him) the spell didn't harm Harry cause the wand belonged to him and Harry knew that. That is why Harry allowed the wand to kill him cause he ordered it so. In the last fight Voldemort tried to kill him with the same spell but against Harry motives and orders which resulted in the Elder Wand killing Voldemort cause the Elder Wand doesnt kill its owner. The Elder Wand is a sensitive wand that responds on emotions and thoughts and gives you great power but it can also betray you and let you down as history proved it. The Elder Wand is a very special wand that can do more than an ordinary wand
I think none of them were the true owners of the elder wand the first brother was killed in his sleep not defeated in a duel so the wand never lost ownership and will forever belong to the first brother
i just realised that the eldest brother got the elder wand
I honestly suspect that avada kedavra came with elder wand and it's a spell made by death itself. It's not confirmed yet, but apparently your magic skills must be above avarage to cast the killing curse, so probably not everyone will ever cast it in their lives
Death got mad because they used magic to waltz over The Strid. That's my head canon.
