Revision as of 08:42, 17 July 2012

The wands of Fred and George Weasley are of unknown length, wood and cores. Like most wizards and witches in Great Britain, they likely purchased them both from Garrick Ollivander at the age of eleven before beginning their education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1989. Fred's wand looks more like a stick with a pine cone at the end, where as George's wand looks more like a broom stick[1].

They have also been able to perform powerful magic with their wands, such as casting nonverbal spells. Due to the twins' choice in subjects, it is possible that Fred's wand was more suitable for Transfiguration work[2].

Both twins used their wands through the Battle of Hogwarts, and George used his in the final battle to defeat Yaxley[3].
