Get your own wand?

[mary_j_59]

I got this from Sydpad - a few others have done it, too. I am not sure what I think of the result, but I will say that, when we were working out the wandcraft for our Harry Potter parties, this was the very first wand I made (I still have it). Genuine apple wood and the best quality dragon heartstring - aka rubber band!

Wood type: apple Length: 11½ inches Core: Dragon Heartstring get your own wand!

Mine was apple and 11 1/2 inches too - but a kelpie hair core! I don't really know what I make of that at all.

You ended up with a tricky wand wood,'youthful spirit' sounds very nice. Mine is a bit ..... embarassing???; birch - dragon heartstring. I think I rather keep the one fitting the Celtic tree chart - ash, though it often comes with a Veela hair core instead of dragon heartstring in some other tests.

Why is that embarrassing? As you know, that's the wand I always imagined for Snape! (though I know you don't agree, and I like the Rowan or Hawthorn ideas, too)

In any case, I think this test is meaningless - it's just for fun, really. I'm not at all sure what I think about the apple wood, actually, or the dragon heartstring. I always pictured myself a unicorn hair type, actually. (And furhtermore, now we know the wand doesn't really choose the wizard, right?)

Happy Holidays (merry Christmas if you celebrate.)

Your wand theory was the reason I called it embarrassing. BTW it fits my results from the personality test you posted some time ago and the ranks 2-5 aren't much nicer. Not exactly the people one invites for tea and cookies, except Luna at #4. There's a certain female Slytherin a #5 and the inevitable great Gryffindor sorcerer at #3.
I suggested Blackthorne for folk lore reasons not Hawthorne.
Happy Holidays to you, too. My Midwinter celebrations started yesterday.

sorry - I should have remembered it was blackthorn, but I guess I have a bit of a block about it! Because that is what they make shillelies (sp?), out of, for hitting people with, and I think Severus has too much of that reputation already - and doesn't entirely deserve it.

Happy Winter Solstice to you; I hope you are having a festive time!

The spelling is [i]Shilleleagh[/i] afaik. Don't hold me accountable for its correctness, Gaelic or Irish spelling is a horror. In Folk Tales very old ones do have magic properties e.g. only beat up the bad guys or can be successfully used to ward off Dark Forces. I actually like your birch as well as my suggestions, there's also a strong case for Laburnum (Golden Chain Tree)which fits the Perseus Evans anagram and was used as cheap substitute for ebony and I'm sure all of them are better than anything JKR will come up with, if she can't avoid to answer anymore; I guess her solution will be something with unpleasant connotations.

Hope you don't mind me swiping this meme for my journal. I got Hawthorn, 11 inches with Kelpie hair, which I quite like for me.

Of course I don't mind! and that does seem like a nice wand.
