Je moet een aantal gegevens van jezelf doorgeven, zoals lengte (klein, gemiddeld of groot voor je leeftijd), oogkleur en je moet kiezen tussen iets van 5 of 6 dingen wat je het liefst zou willen (o.a. wisdom, power, knowledge). Er zijn nog een paar vragen maar die ben ik alweer vergeten :')

Anyway, op basis daarvan krijg je dan je wand gepresenteerd (: Het leuke is dat je daarna ook kunt lezen wat de eigenschappen zijn van het soort hout waar je wand van is gemaakt, wat de lengte en stevigheid van je wand ermee te maken hebben en hoe het zit met de verschillende kernen die gebruikt worden.

Zelf heb ik uiteindelijk een wand van 14 1/2 inches (grofweg 37 centimeter), gemaakt van kersenhout, brittle (ik kom even niet op de Nederlandse vertaling van dat woord - bros? In ieder geval niet extreem stevig) en met een kern van feniksveer.








Overigens leuk weetje: Ollivander's volledige naam is Garrick Ollivander.

Unicorn

Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.

Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.

Spruce

Unskilled wandmakers call spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they reveal their own ineptitude. It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers. The spruce wand requires a firm hand, because it often appears to have its own ideas about what magic it ought to be called upon to produce. However, when a spruce wand meets its match - which, in my experience, is a bold spell-caster with a good sense of humour - it becomes a superb helper, intensely loyal to their owners and capable of producing particularly flamboyant and dramatic effects.

Dragon

As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.

The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

Hazel

A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably. The positive aspect of a hazel wand more than makes up for such minor discomforts, however, for it is capable of outstanding magic in the hands of the skillful, and is so devoted to its owner that it often ‘wilts’ (which is to say, it expels all its magic and refuses to perform, often necessitating the extraction of the core and its insertion into another casing, if the wand is still required) at the end of its master’s life (if the core is unicorn hair, however, there is no hope; the wand will almost certainly have ‘died’). Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells.

goed voor een combinatie van magie, en transfiguratie. Ook zegt deze wand dat ik de moed heb om mezelf te zijn, en dat ik hier ook trouw aan ben (vandaar dat veel OotP leden en DE leden ebony wands hebben. Omdat de stok erg lang is (normaal is 9 tot 14 inches) betekend dit dat ik een groot persoonlijkheid heb xD. Ook zou ik een dramatische manier van het casten van spells hebben xDxDxD

Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.

Larch

Strong, durable and warm in colour, larch has long been valued as an attractive and powerful wand wood. Its reputation for instilling courage and confidence in the user has ensured that demand has always outstripped supply. This much sought-after wand is, however, hard to please in the matter of ideal owners, and trickier to handle than many imagine. I find that it always creates wands of hidden talents and unexpected effects, which likewise describes the master who deserves it. It is often the case that the witch or wizard who belongs to the larch wand may never realise the full extent of their considerable talents until paired with it, but that they will then make an exceptional match.

Maple
I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows, with its partner, in ability and status. This is a beautiful and desirable wood, and wand quality maple has been among the most costly for centuries. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers.

Phoenix
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.
Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

Ebony
This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual or comfortable with the status of outsider, ebony wand owners have been found both among the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix and among the Death Eaters. In my experience the ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.

Do you most fear... darkness, fire, heights, small spaces or isolation?

Na wegstrepen hou ik fire en heights over. Moet wel zeggen dat ik het leuke vragen vind. Zij het dan met name vraag 4, 5 en 6. Anderen zijn natuurlijk standaard maar horen ook gevraagd te worden.

Kan niet kiezen, buh Voor vuur ben ik niet bang tenzij je aan 't slapen bent en je wakker word terwijl je huis in de fik staat bijv. Dito voor hoogtevrees. Op een uitzichtsplek staan geen punt. Maar in zo'n megahoge attractie zitten is weer een ander verhaal waardoor je op het hoogste punt een vrije val maakt. Enzovoort, enzovoort. Het hangt echt af van de situatie of ik voor de een meer bang ben dan de ander..
