Changes: Neville Longbottom's second wand

Revision as of 23:32, 4 December 2014

"Cherry and unicorn hair... We think it was one of the last Ollivander ever sold, he vanished next day."

— Neville Longbottom to Harry potter^[src]

Neville Longbottom's second wand was 13" long, made of cherry wood, and had a unicorn hair core. The wand was manufactured by Garrick Ollivander.

History

Neville purchased this wand in 1996 after his first wand was broken by Antonin Dolohov during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. This new wand may have been one of the last wands made by Garrick Ollivander before he was kidnapped by Death Eaters. ^[1]

It has been noted that Neville liked his new wand. This is the wand he used during the Battle of Hogwarts, which would mean that this wand was probably used against many Death Eaters.

It can be assumed that Neville kept this wand after the war and continued to use it as Herbology professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Appearance

The length of the wood appears to be medium brown in colour and gets darker at the base. The base of the wand is twisted and forms a sort-of make shift handle.

Behind the scenes

The cherry tree represents death, rebirth, and new awakenings. Likewise, the wand wood should reflect Neville's character, the "death" of his "innocence", "rebirth" as an Auror and hero in Deathly Hallows and more.
Mary Cattermole has the same core and wood as Neville's second.

-==Behind the Scenes==
-*J.K. Rowling based Harry's, Ron's, and Hermione's wands off of the wand woods correlating to their date of birth and the Celtic tree calendar. However, as Neville's second wand is made of cherry, J. K. Rowling did not choose this wand based on Neville's birthdate. Like Hagrid's wand wood, it could be based on a symbolic reference to Neville's personality and character. <ref>http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=18 J. K.
