Wand Material and CoreIn the Harry Potter series, there were many types of wand materials and wads. The following were common wand materials and wads:
** 1. Wand Material **
1. ** holly wood **
- Harry Potter's wand is made of holly. Holly was an evergreen tree with sharp green leaves and bright red berries. In the magic world, it was a rare wand wood, symbolizing hope and exorcism. In reality, holly wood was used for inlaying and carving. Due to its slow growth and small size, it needed to be processed carefully and was expensive. Moreover, chopsticks made from holly wood had the effects of nourishing the liver and kidney, removing rheumatism, stopping bleeding, and healing sores.
2. ** Yew **
- Voldemort used a yew wand. This was a relatively rare species. Its sap was poisonous and gave the holder the power to control life and death in the magic world. After the old trees on the outer layer of the yew tree died, a new tree would grow from the center. It was regarded as an "immortal tree", symbolizing the reincarnation of the soul. In real life, the purplish wood was reddish-brown (white). The wood was light and tough, moderate in strength, fragrant, insect-resistant, rot-resistant, and elastic. It was used to make bows, especially longbows. Because of its toxicity, it was usually grown in closed areas of the cemetery, symbolizing sadness.
3. ** Grape vine wood **
- Hermione Granger's wand was made of grapevine. In the Celtic calendar, grapevine was a symbol of happiness and anger, two extreme emotions, related to achieving goals and finding balance. Such wands were rarely seen, and usually, wizards with lofty aspirations, foresight, and amazing talent were chosen to help them unleash magic beyond their own abilities.
4. ** Fir **
- Ollivander's grandfather had called it the 'survivor's wand' and had sold it to three wizards, who had all survived deadly danger. It was suitable for wizards with extraordinary focus and strong willpower.
5. ** Other Wood **
- Wood suitable for making wands included ash, poplar, ebony, walnut, hawthorn, cherry, and ordinary wood. Different types of wood had different properties and characteristics. For example, hawthornwood wands were usually controlled by wizards with complicated personalities and had excellent performance in casting spells. The owners of cherry wood wands had strong self-control and extraordinary intelligence. The owners of ordinary wooden wands had extraordinary ambitions and grand plans.
** 2. Staff Core **
1. ** Unicorn fur **
- It was a relatively common material for the core of a wand, such as Draco Malfoy's wand core, which was unicorn hair. This kind of wand core was easier to faithfully reflect the essence of magic and was less susceptible to interference from other spells. A wand with unicorn fur as the core was the most difficult to use black magic.
2. ** Cat leopard fur **
- There were few records of leopard fur, and North American wand maker Johannes Jonkel listed it as his favorite wand core material.
3. ** Veela hair **
- There are very few records of veela hair. Fleur Delacour used a wand whose core was her grandmother's veela hair, a wand that Mr. Ollivander had described as "sensitive and headstrong."
4. ** Dragon Heartstring **
- The core of Hermione Granger's wand was a Dragonheartstring. It was faster to learn magic with such a wand, but once it was won from its original owner, it would immediately form a close relationship with the new owner. Although it would not be inclined to the Dark Arts, it was the wand that was most likely to turn to the Dark Arts. In the Harry Potter Magic Awakening mobile game, the nerves of the dragon were used as the core of the wand to allow the wand to cast amazing spells and have the closest connection with the current owner.
5. ** Phoenix feather **
- Harry and Voldemort both had Fawkes 'feathers at the core of their wands. This kind of wand core could cover a wide range when casting magic, but it required a longer casting time. It was more proactive and was the most picky when choosing its owner. In the Harry Potter Magic Awakening mobile game, the phoenix feather as the core of the wand could make the wand release a large range of spells, making it difficult for the opponent to resist and control.
6. ** Thestrals Tail Hair **
- It was a rather strange material. At present, only the Elder Wand had used this material as its core. It was said that only wizards who could control death could control it.
7. ** The core of the staff in the mobile game "The Magic Awakening of Harry Potter"**
- In addition to the dragon's nerves, phoenix feathers, unicorn tail hair, etc., the characteristics of the staff core in the game had a certain combination and extension with the original setting to adapt to the needs of the game.

This chapter alone may not add up to the rating but for pushing my luck about the wand what is the chance the dragon heart string wand Harry bought in chapter 8 may relate to the other dragon heart string wand that might have gone to Draco Malfoy and that somehow in the last two chapters have not been revealed yet?
