- Arthur Weasley: "Come off it, Amos. You don't seriously think it was the elf? The Dark Mark's a wizard's sign. It requires a wand."
- Amos Diggory: "Yeah. And she had a wand."
- Arthur Weasley: "What?"
- Amos Diggory: "Here, look. Had it in her hand. So that's clause three of the Code of Wand Use broken, for a start. No non-human creature is permitted to carry or use a wand."
- — Arthur Weasley and Amos Diggory discover Winky with a wand following the Reappearance of the Dark Mark.[src]
The Code of Wand Use is a decree on wand usage, passed by the Wizards' Council[1] in 1631.[2] Clause Three of the Code (known as the Wand Ban[2]) states that "No non-human creature is permitted to carry or use a wand".[3]
The Brotherhood of Goblins were a group pressing for Goblin rights, which included the right to carry and use a wand.
Breaches
The main well-known breach of the Code of Wand Use was a breach of Clause Three. When, at the Quidditch World Cup in 1994, the Dark Mark was conjured by Bartemius Crouch Jr., using Harry Potter's wand, which he had stolen from Harry's back pocket. Members of the Ministry of Magic arrived shortly after, and, unknowingly, Stunned him. Because he was wearing an Invisibility cloak, however, the Ministry worker who went to search the area where Harry, Ron, and Hermione said they heard the incantation spoken did not see him, but instead found Winky, a house-elf belonging to Bartemius Crouch Sr., with the wand in her hand. Upon reviving her, Amos Diggory explains the law.
Behind the scenes
- The Third W.O.M.B.A.T. at J. K. Rowling Official Site refers to the Code of Wand Use as Ministry of Magic decree.[2] Pottermore, however, later established that the Ministry of Magic was only formally established in 1707, 76 years after the Code of Wand Use was passed. This seems to imply that the term "Ministry of Magic" is loosely applied to also refer to the Wizards' Council, that preceded the Ministry.
Appearances
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (First appearance)
- J. K. Rowling Official Site (Mentioned as "Ministry of Magic Decree of 1631")
