Revision as of 16:49, 18 September 2009
Ollivander's Wand Shop is the sole wand shop of Diagon Alley. It is owned by Mr. Ollivander and is known to be one of the finest wand shops in all of Europe.
History
1991
Ollivander's shop in 1991
In 1991, Harry Potter was taken to Ollivander's by Rubeus Hagrid in order to get Harry a wand in preparation for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry tried dozens of wands before he was chosen by a wand of Holly and Phoenix Feather. Curious...curious... the wand-maker had said when Harry was chosen by the wand, and when questioned about the reason he was saying curious, Mr. Ollivander said that he remembered every wand he had ever sold, and he found it curious that Harry should be destined for a wand that was brother to the one that had killed Harry's parents, and had almost killed him.
1992
During the Christmas holidays, Ollivander's was closed with a small notice on the door, which read "Wandered out for a spell, will return later". [1]
1996 and 1997
- "Oh no - not Ollivander's, everybody got their first wands from here."

In 1996, Alexandra Walker attempted to rob the store. This event made Daily Prophet headlines.

When Harry Potter visited Diagon Alley in his sixth year, he found Ollivander's boarded up and Ollivander gone. Ollivander was kidnapped by Lord Voldemort. He was to explain why his wand and Harry Potter's wand couldn't battle. Under the Cruciatus Curse, he told Voldemort that it was because of the twin cores and all Voldemort needed to do was use another wand. Ollivander was tortured and held in the cellar of Malfoy Manor until Dobby rescued him, Luna and Dean Thomas. After recovering at Shell Cottage, He went to Muriel's to be protected under the Fidelius Charm. Whilst there he made a wand for Luna as a thank you for the comfort and care she had given him during there incarceration. His shop most likely reopened after the Battle of Hogwarts.
Description
Peeling gold letters over the door of the shop read: Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.. The shop's display consists of a solitary wand laying on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. The shop is tiny, empty except for a single, spindly chair in the corner. Thousands of narrow boxes containing wands are piled right up to the ceiling of the tiny shop, and the whole place has a thin layer of dust about it.
