Changes: Fleur Delacour's wand

Revision as of 07:58, 4 June 2009

The wand of Fleur Delacour is 9½" rosewood, with a Veela hair core. The hair was donated by Fleur's grandmother. When the wand was weighed by Mr. Ollivander during the Triwizard Tournament, in which Fleur was Beauxbatons' champion, he described it as "inflexible".^[1]

Fleur's wand is the only one known to have a core that uses Veela hair, which is not used by Britain's premier wand-maker Ollivander.
In Slavic mythology, some legends claim that if even one of a Veela's hairs is plucked, she will either die or be forced to change into a non-human shape.
