- "The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death."
- — Garrick Ollivander.[src]
Geraint Ollivander was a great wandmaker who lived in the Middle Ages. Geraint came from a long line of wizards who began selling wands in London in 382 B.C.[1]
Biography
Early life
Geraint Ollivander was born in the Middle Ages, somewhere in Great Britain. He was born into the wizarding Ollivander family, who had been in the wand-making business since 382 B.C.[1]
Career as a wandmaker
Geraint took up the family business in London, studying further into wandlore and becoming an accomplished wandmaker. He considered it an honour to match a witch or wizard with a wand made from the wood of the cypress tree because it indicated he had met someone who was going to die heroically, and left that fact in his writings.[1]
