A Word on
ellcastin
hough witches and wizards do not necessarily
need wands to perform magic (more on this on the
following page), they are considered extremely
useful tools in focusing one’s abilities. For the best results,
use a wand that you have won, inherited or, if selecting a
new wand, one which “chooses” you. Practice dueling is not
recognized as a way of winning another wizard’s wand, as the
wand senses the situation is not significant. It should also be
noted that, with the exception of the Elder Wand, a wand won
from its original master will perform well for the new owner,
but will likely retain some allegiance to its old owner.

NOTES You can use any instrument to channel your magic,

but using another wizard’s wand that you have not won may lead to
noticeable discomfort when spellcasting.

Tread with caution when using a broken wand, as it is an

unpredictable vessel through which to perform magic. It cannot
be recommended for use unless professionally repaired.

Spellotape is definitely
wot considered a
“professional repaiy.

Nonverbal &
Wandless Spells
onverbal and wandless spells are extremely
NI difficult to master, though most underage wizards
are capable of producing magic in times of great
stress. Students at Hogwarts begin learning nonverbal spells in
their sixth year, while wandless spellcasting is usually only done
by the most skilled witches and wizards, or more commonly in
cultures which traditionally practice wandless magic.
MAGIC | rv In Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter is able

his wand, enabling him to find it again. This is a good example

NOTES ON LENGTH & FLEXIBILITY
! Most wands measure between 9 and 14 inches, with longer wands being drawn to
bios ith lively personalities and a tendency for the dramatic. By contrast, shorter wands
generally choose witches and wizards who wish to produce more refined magic. Wands
that measure 8 inches or less are known to choose those who are “short” on character.
FLEXIBILITY A wand’s flexibility is usually an indicator of its (and its chosen owner’s)
own adaptability. However, as with all aspects of wand-making and ownership, this is just
one factor among core, wood type, length and the owner’s personality and experience, all
of which combine to make each wand distinct from any other.
co THE UNOFFICIAL ULTIMATE HARRY POTTER SPELLBOOK «9

Supreme
Wand Cores
andmakers around the world will use
a wide variety of magical substances
for the cores of wands, but Garrick
Ollivander will only create wands made with unicorn hair,
dragon heartstring or phoenix feathers.
UNICORN HAIR Known for creating reliable wands that rarely
experience bicchapes Extremely loyal and moralistic, these wands
are exceptionally difficult to use when practicing Dark Arts. Unicorn
hair may also produce less powerful magic than other substances,
and can “die” and need replacing if not properly handled.

DRAGON HEARTSTRING Unsurprisingly, a wand with a core from

such a powerful creature also produces the most powerful forms
of magic. Another advantage is its ability to learn quickly and bond
well with its owner (even a new one). However, it should also be
known that dragon heartstring is the most temperamental of the
three Supreme Wand Cores and therefore most likely to produce
accidents.

PHOENIX FEATHER Phoenix feathers are the rarest type of wand

core.ee have the eae to produce the greatest range of magic
and are known to act of their own accord, a trait that many witches
and wizards are not fond of. Phoenix core wands are also known to
be the most finicky when choosing their wizard and can be difficult
to master.
