Your Harry Potter Wand

Lisa's thread in senseless about Chris using a wand reminded me I wanted to start this thread.

What would your wand be? Wood, length, core. There are some cool websites that give good descriptions of the different elements, I'm just too lazy to link to them at the moment, so if someone else wants to...please do hehe.

Mine is Rosewood (I wanted Ash, but Rosewood was what we got at the craft store), Unicorn Tail Core, 8.5" ...very strong, for the pure of heart, a bit stubborn, excellent for spells and jinxes. :D

Rtex was here just last week and we both started making our wands. They totally kick ASS. I'm going to have to take a picture of mine when it's completely done. We're going to finish them when he comes back up here in a few weeks.

Burns, you need to make a wand. Or I could make one for you. We found these awesome 10" dark rosewood knitting needles at the craft store to use as a base, sanded them down, etc. Rtex found a really cool resin talon and used my clay to mold it into a really kick ass handle for a hippogrif talon core. How cool is that? Yes we're total dorks and love it!!!


edit: p.s. I feel naked now if I'm not carrying my wand around with me! Haha...

Ebony. 9" long, tapered but otherwise unembellished. Hydrogen core. Leather tip so it can double as a short cue stick in tight situations.

(Yeah, so I designed my own.)

For those who are totally clueless:

This is a great very involved quiz:
http://www.unfading.net/wsinfo.html

And this is a simple quiz:
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/5113933...ry-Potter-Wand

K... now it's maple w/ unicorn hair.

Canadian maple, and I'm still putting a leather tip on it.

That first one quoted me as having a wand of cedar with a core of dragon's heartstring.

Cedar is an all-purpose tree and can be used in various magical and occult practices, but primarily for protection against evil influences. This wood strengthens your spirit, calms unnecessary passions and increases resistance. In addition to that, cedar is also used for achieving prosperity as wealth, and can help in gaining respect and recognition.

Keywords: Generosity, Fairness, Noble Origin, Prosperity, Wealth, Steadiness, Resistance, Inner strength, Wise ruler in the time of peace, Guardian, Protection from evil spirits, respect and recognition.

Wand description: Very strong and steady, somewhat hard and inert. This wand is good mainly in the aspects of magic arts that suppose dealing with the material structure of objects, e.g. transfiguration (though it lacks preciseness a little). Aside from that, it is very powerful protective wand; it does well both in attack and in defense. May indicate owner's noble origin or old family tradition. Not suitable for dark practices.

For the other:

Quote:

Your Score: 9 3/4", Oak, Phoenix
You scored 36 wisdom, 27 bravery, 15 emotional, and 33 martyrdom!

Oak signifies wisdom, endurance, protection, and authority. The phoenix tail feather as your core means that you have the capability to be an extremely powerful wizard or witch and that you will defend those you love at all costs.

I saw a site that was more in-depth, but I'll have to see if I can find it again.

On the Greenoaks wand selector I got a Birch wand with a unicorn hair core, while on the other selector I got a 9" willow wand with a dragon heartstring core

I won't bore you with the analysations

I took both quizes.

Keywords: preserving, clarification, lucidity of mind, persistence of memory, immortality, light, summing up all that happened, balance, calmness, high spirit, detachedness, soothing, divine rituals.

This wand is calm and precise, though somewhat cold. Good both for charms and transfiguration. Indicates owner's high abilities in divination. Show excellent results in invoking images of the past and memory-strenghtening spells. Not suitible for dark arts.

Holly is a powerful protective wood that good for use against evil, but it also represents dreams and fertility. Your unicorn's tail hair core means that you are pure of heart and care deeply for your loved ones.

Yeah, I don't really like those quizzes too much...which is sort of why I decided what my own wand would be. I know that the wand is supposed to choose the wizard hehe, but yah know...oh well. :D

well the quiz said unicorn hair
and it fits me I guess :)
oh yea with mahogany wood :boogie:

An ash wand signifies growth, balance, and protection. The veela hair as a wand core means that you are slightly unpredictable but very powerful.

Oh, and it was 10 3/4"

ok im 11" holly with a unicorn hair

Holly is a powerful protective wood that good for use against evil, but it also represents dreams and fertility. Your unicorn's tail hair core means that you are pure of heart and care deeply for your loved ones.
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:


You scored higher than 99% on wisdom

You scored higher than 99% on bravery

You scored higher than 99% on emotional

You scored higher than 99% on martyrdom

I have 2 wands already, actually.

One is oak that I carved from a fallen branch from my favorite tree in my backyard. I want to carve a couple runes in it, but I still haven't decided which ones yet.

My other wand has special powers... behold! http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...t=MOV04692.flv
I get a lot of use out of it, really. It's a great flashlight, plus it's fun to say "lumos" and "nox" :P

haha, but seriously, if I could choose a REAL wand like Harry Potter's, it would be oak, 14" long, and would contain a phoenix feather. :)

Lol Burns, I want one!

If we were choosing wands, I'd go with... 10" ebony with dragon heartstring core.

it would be laurel for sure, but no idea of what inside (what is a demiguise?)
.... maybe inside it could be centaur tail hair, but i doubt centaurs would donate hair!
i'm not familiar with inches.

A demiguise is an ape-like creature whose hair is made into invisibility cloaks

ok so i think it could do for me (monkey.....)

Maple with a core of unicorn hair.

Mine would be made from wood from the Walloping Willow and would have a core of awesome.

particle board with a pubic hair (I couldn't resist)

LOL. How about instead of particle board, morning wood.

Lol Idec.

1st one said cedar and dragonheart string
2nd one said oak and phoenix tail feather.

The OkCupid test said my wand was a 9 3/4", Oak, Phoenix wand.
Oak signifies wisdom, endurance, protection, and authority. The phoenix tail feather as your core means that you have the capability to be an extremely powerful wizard or witch and that you will defend those you love at all costs.

That's a fucking Pimp wand. I believe it would suit me quite well. :D

GreenOak's Wand Test gave me a phoenix feather core as well, but also 3 Woods for my wand, Apple, holly and Alder. I don't really know why, perhaps I'm good to wield all 3. At once. :D

Lomebririon strode up to the group of malicious wizards, his coat flowing behind him majestically. Stopping before them, he cocked his head to the side slightly, ran his fingers through his flowing hair and flashed them a wicked grin. His hands then moved to the line of his coat. He traced it's contours before casting it off in a fluid motion, to reveal 3 wands strapped to his belt. Taking one in each hand in a swift motion, he begun twirling them rapidly in a showy fashion. "Alright ladies..." he exclaimed, "Let's dance!"

Awesome.
The third is obviously a backup. XD
