Wands

From here to there from there to here, funny wands are everywhere...

The making of the magic is in the magic of the wizard's tool: the wand

Pheonix feather, unicorn hair, or heart-strings of dragons.... maple, elm, yew, oak, willow, beechwood, ebony...The wands of Ms. Rowling's imaginations are stark, graceful, unassuming tools with a life all of their own at times (think Ron's wand in book 2). The beginner wizard is quite at a loss without his or her wand.
