MY LIST OF FAMOUS WANDS
 

Harry Potter:
Where else would we start but with the Harry Potter wand?
Wood: Holly
Length: 11 inches
Core/Enchantment: Single Phoenix Feather
Details/Good For: Holly is the strongest of the protective woods and is the symbol of life, vitality and immortality. It is used to guard against evil, protects against lightning, and great for dream magic.

Ron Weasley:
Harry Potter's sidekick seems to be making great use of his own magic wand.
Wood: Willow
Length: 14 inches
Core/Enchantment: Unicorn Tail Hair

Hermione Granger:
Our wandmakers have studied her wand closely and it appears that it may be a combination of Holly and Ebony. This is based on the very black wand shaft with a white/light colored handle. This is also based on Hermione's powerful spellmaking and the protective nature of her actions.
