Ron's first wand originally belonged to his older brother [[Charlie Weasley|Charlie]]. It was 12" ash, with a [[unicorn]] hair [[wand core|core]]. The wand was old and part of the unicorn hair stuck out of the end.<ref name="PS">''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]''</ref>
 
 
This wand was damaged in September of [[1992]] in a run-in with the [[Whomping Willow]], and Ron attempted to hold it together using [[Spello-tape]]. It subsequently started malfunctioning. For example, when Ron attempted to hex [[Draco Malfoy]] for calling [[Hermione Granger]] a "filthy little [[Mudblood]]", the curse backfired, causing him to vomit slugs. At the end of the school year, [[Gilderoy Lockhart]]'s attempt to [[Memory Charm|wipe the memories]] of Ron and [[Harry Potter]] was foiled when the charm backfired, causing Lockhart permanent and drastic memory loss.<ref name="CS">''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''</ref>
 
 
==Second Wand==
 
[[Image:Ronald Weasley.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ron's second wand.]]
 
In [[1993]], Ron's [[Arthur Weasley|father]] won a ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' draw, and some of the money was spent to purchase Ron a new wand. This one was 14" willow with a unicorn hair core and seemed to suit Ron better.<ref name="POA">''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''</ref>
 
 
Ron's wand was confiscated by the [[Snatchers]] that caught him, Harry, and Hermione and brought them to [[Malfoy Manor]] in [[1998]]. In the ensuing [[Battle of Malfoy Manor|battle and escape]], Ron took [[Peter Pettigrew]]'s wand. It is unknown if he ever recovered his own wand.
 
 
==Behind the scenes==
 
*[[J.K. Rowling]] used a Celtic calendar to assign Ron's wand wood, based on his date of birth.<ref>"[http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=18 Extra Stuff: Wands]" at [[J.K. Rowling's Official Site]]</ref>
