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!

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.
