Elder. The rarest wand wood of all, and reputed to be deeply unlucky, the elder wand is trickier to master than any other. It contains powerful magic, but scorns to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep the elder wand for any length of time.
The title of the rarest dragon in the Harry Potter series goes to the Norwegian Ridgeback.
Phoenix feather wands are capable of the greatest range of magic, although this means that sometimes they will act of their own accord. Wands with this expensive material as their core are the pickiest of all the cores in choosing the most suitable owner, and allegiance is often hard-won.
Sycamore is said to be the most common wand wood on Pottermore. Sycamore with unicorn hair appears to be the most common combination, with sycamore and dragon heartstring following.
Although Queenie (Alison Sudol) is not a very popular character, her wand is among the most beautiful and ornate in the wizarding world. The shaft is made of dark rosewood that contrasts with the light and delicate hilt.
Core. Salazar Slytherin owned a wand of his own making, made of snakewood and containing a fragment of a magical snake's horn: in this case, a Basilisk horn. The wand had the distinction of being able to 'sleep' when so instructed, an ability taught to it by Slytherin himself.
From the three core options – Dragon Heartstring, Unicorn Hair, and Phoenix Feather – there is no difference in terms of performance in Hogwarts Legacy, meaning you can choose any of the three. These are merely cosmetic options, so don't worry about choosing the weakest of the three, for example.
Riddikulus
Riddikulus is the spell that's used when facing a Boggart, and it's used to turn the Boggart into something that the caster finds funny. While this is definitely a useful and necessary spell in this one situation, it's a rather weird idea.
1 Harry Potter's Stag
Harry's Patronus, a stag, is certainly the most prominent in the series (and among the best Patronuses in the Wizarding World), as well as the strongest Patronus in the films. Unlike many wizards, he could produce his Patronus at the age of thirteen, with guidance from Remus Lupin.
Strikingly, Harry's Patronus was a stag and his mother Lily's was a doe, a female deer, showing that the family's characters were in harmony and formed part of the same animal group.
What is the Elder Wand? Also called the Deathstick and Wand of Destiny, the Elder Wand is an object of immense magical power. Some consider it unbeatable, some merely the most potent means of channeling magic in existence, but either way, it has blazed a long and bloody trail through wizarding history.
Nor is it Neville, whose wand measures 13.5 inches, and features a distinctive three-part twist… Dark Lord Voldermort's wand is bigger at 14.25 inches and has a handle which seems to be carved from a single, possibly human, bone.
Forced to be used by Harry, the quill is a complex torturing device that cuts the words it writes into the hand of the user. Only the most insidious of witches could have thought of something so twisted. Umbridge's magical object overall is definitely one of the weakest wands in Harry Potter.
Although, as Dumbledore says, Harry's ability to speak Parseltongue is a skill accidentally transferred by Slytherin's actual heir, Voldemort, when he tried to kill Harry as a baby. So perhaps this is one myth with a bit of truth to it.
Veela hair cores made for "temperamental" wands. Thestral tail hair was regarded as an unstable, if not the most difficult, substance to use in wand-making.
Composed of elm with dragon heartstring core, Lucius Malfoy's wand is enclosed in a snake-topped walking stick.
Phoenix feather is the rarest core type known to wandlore. Wands made with this core are known to be perfect in any situation, as they possess the "greatest range of magic." However, one of the most intriguing aspects of a phoenix feather wand is that it can take the initiative independently.
Tom Riddle held a very special wand before his ultimately unsuccessful attempt to control the Elder Wand. Riddle's original wand, 13 1/2 inches long, was made of a phoenix feather core.
The Elder Wand (or Wand of Destiny), a mysterious instrument, is said to be the most powerful wand that has ever existed and has enticed many wizards such as Harry Potter. The Elder Wand is able to perform feats of magic that would normally be impossible even for the most skilled wizards.
The display of Bellatrix Lestrange and its curved wand are very rare and coveted by collectors fans of the Harry Potter saga.
Embedded in Dolores Umbridge's wand is a jewel – pink, of course. 'On the handle end of Horace Slughorn's wand,' art director Hattie Storey notes, 'are two little antennae, like a slug or a snail. '
