Changes: Ginevra Weasley's wand

Revision as of 16:08, 13 November 2014

The wand of Ginny Weasley is of unknown length, wood and core materials.

History

Like most wizards and witches in Great Britain, she purchased it at the age of eleven before beginning her education at Hogwarts in 1992 from Ollivander's Wand shop.

She has been able to perform powerful magic with her wand, such as casting an unmatchable Bat-Bogey Hex.

The wand's appearance is quite beautiful. It is a shiny jet black colour with spiral one forth the way up the wand and at the end of the spirals there are lines that intersect another one forth of the way.

Behind the scenes

Ginny's wand in the Harry Potter films, or at least the replica sold at The Making of Harry Potter, measures 14.25 inches. This cannot be considered canon, however, as Pottermore indicates that Garrick Ollivander only sold wands over 14 inches when a "physical peculiarity" required it.

-*As J.K. Rowling based [[Harry Potter|Harry's]], [[Ronald Weasley|Ron's]], and [[Hermione Granger|Hermione's]] wands off of the wand woods correlating to their date of birth and the Celtic tree calendar, it is possible that Ginny Weasley's wand could be crafted from [[Hazel]] . Ginny was born August 11, and the period of birth marking Hazel on the Celtic tree calendar is August 5 to September 1.
