Changes: Fleur Delacour's wand

Revision as of 14:42, 12 February 2011

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.
Fleur's wand is also one of the only two not to have a core used by Ollivander, the other being the Elder Wand.
As the hair in Fleur's wand came from her grandmother, it is possible her wand was custom-made for her rather than simply purchased.
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.
