Griphook: "The right to carry a wand has long been contested between wizards and goblins."
Ron Weasley: "Well, goblins can do magic without wands."
Griphook: "That is immaterial! Wizards refuse to share the secrets of wandlore with other magical beings, they deny us the possibility of extending our powers!"
Griphook the Goblin[src]

The Wand Ban is the Code of Wand Use's Clause Three (passed by the Ministry of Magic in 1631). This clause forbids Non-Human Magical Beings to carry a wand. This clause of the Code of Wand Use was probably written as a consequence of the Goblin Rebellion of 1612, a bloody and vicious revolution that occurred in Hogsmeade Village. This law was one of the causes that contributed to the later Goblin Rebellions of the eighteenth century, given the anger expressed by some goblins, such as Griphook [1], about wizards denying goblins the right to use wands.
