- "And there was an argument ... and I pulled out my wand, and he pulled out his."
- — Aberforth Dumbledore[src]
This wand belonged to the Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald.
Specifications
Grindelwald's wand measured fifteen inches in length, and was comprised of an unknown wood and core material. The wand was of a dark greenish hue, and had several red thorn-like protrusions running along it's length. Interestingly Grindelwald's wand featured a completely unique design. Rather than being a solid wooden shaft, the wand appeared to be a long tapered strip of wood bark that had been twisted into a cylindrical shape.[1]
History
Creation and early usage
Grindelwald likely purchased his wand in the 1880s before starting his education at the Durmstrang Institute. The wandmaker responsible for it's creation is unknown. However, given the fact that Gregorovitch crafted wands for other Durmstrang students he may have sold Grindelwald his. While at Durmstrang Grindelwald gained a reputation as a brilliant student, with an unfortunate fascination with the Dark Arts. Eventually Grindelwald's experiments in Dark Magic escalated to the point where he came close to killing a number of his fellow students. After this incident Grindelwald was expelled from Durmstrang, but not before he used his wand to carve the Sign of the Deathly Hallows onto one of the castle's walls.
