This is one of the rarest core types. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this.

Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.<ref name="Pottermore"/>

[[Harry Potter]]'s and [[Tom Riddle]]'s wand cores came from the same phoenix: [[Fawkes]], who belonged to [[Albus Dumbledore]]; these two wands are ''brothers''. Therefore, they have a certain connection and may produce unusual magical effects when forced to duel one another, a phenomenon known as [[Priori Incantatem]]. Riddle, better known as Voldemort, kidnapped Ollivander, the wand maker, for information on this situation and how to overcome it. Ollivander told him that a different wand may work against Harry, but Harry destroyed the "borrowed" wand when Lord Voldemort chased him when Harry was being moved.

"It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother... gave you that scar."
