Holly and phoenix feather were a difficult combination due to their opposite natures, but when such a wand found its perfect match, nothing and nobody should stand in their way. Interestingly, certain wand woods reacted with certain cores in unique ways, affecting the wand's personality and/or magical abilities. It could only be mastered by a witch or wizard who was able to face death, which was why Voldemort struggled to master the Elder Wand. Thestral tail hair was also an interesting core - the wand couldn't simply be mastered by winning them. For example, the wand-maker Garrick Ollivander would not use Veela hair for cores because he believed they made for "temperamental" wands. The core type was also known to influence the temperament of the wand produced with it. Additionally, wand cores were known to reflect the nature of the source they came from since a phoenix was one of the most detached and independent creatures in the world, a phoenix feather wand was incredibly picky when choosing a potential wielder, and unicorn hair wands were incredibly difficult to turn to the Dark Arts due to unicorns' purity. Unicorn hair was not very strong, but it was stable and reliable, whereas dragon heartstring was very strong and flamboyant, but more prone to accidents. ĭifferent wand cores had different magical properties. There are many different possible materials that can be used as wand cores.Īlthough wand cores varied widely, certain wandmakers preferred to use certain materials for example, Garrick Ollivander discovered and pioneered the use of phoenix feathers, dragon heartstrings, and unicorn tail hairs, whereas his father used lesser substances such as Kelpie hair and Kneazle whiskers. The only cores able to produce magic were from a magical species. These magical cores enhanced the wand's magic or gave the wand wood magical abilities. The core of a wand was a magical substance placed within the length of wood, usually extracted from a magical creature.
And of course, you will never get such good results with another wizard’s wand." - Garrick Ollivander telling Harry Potter about the wand cores used in wands sold at Ollivanders No two Ollivander wands are the same, just as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are quite the same. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, and the heartstrings of dragons.
" Every Ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance, Mr Potter.
