Harry paid a total of seven gold galleons for his wand, and Ollivander confirmed that he felt due to this wand choice that they would be seeing great things from Harry in the future. He was quite interested in the wand Harry ended up with because of its unique core. The shared cores the wands had would eventually lead to some very interesting types of magic between Harry and Voldemort Tom Riddle as the series progressed. He also stated the combination of holly and phoenix feather was an unusual combination to see.
The unusual combination Ollivander is referring to is based on wandlore which most wandmakers in the wizarding world take very seriously. Holly wands tend to be considered a protective wand in nature and often choose wizards who are engaged in dangerous quests, especially if they are somewhat spiritual. Because of the volatility of holly itself in wand making, lore suggests it is especially hard to pair with phoenix feather cores.
Ollivander tended to identify his wands by what they were made of and their cores. He also often talked about how flexible the wand was, and sometimes suggested the types of magic a wand might excel at. The one exception to this is The Elder Wand , which was part of wizarding and wandlore. Because of the unique abilities this wand held, its unusual origination, and the history of its owners, it did have its own name.
For the most part wands in the magical world only work as well as the wizard using them. They have to know their wand well, and also have to develop their own skills. As you read about earlier, many types of wands may be well suited for specific types of magic, but by and large, the wizard controls the wand and what it can do.
The wands are unable to fatally wound each other, as they recognize each other as a brother. Harry then realizes that people are dying constantly for his mistakes and then eventually fights Voldemort for the last time. Along the way, crucial secrets are unravelled, and the mysterious, but legendary, Deathly Hallows reappear.

A battle of wills began, and Harry's wand forced Voldemort's to regurgitate its spells, resulting in the emergence of the spirits of: Harry's parents , Bertha Jorkins , Frank Bryce , and the recently murdered Cedric Diggory. After Harry broke off the connection, they lingered for a while to hinder Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
This gave Harry enough time to escape. In the aftermath of the Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort's return, Harry possessed magical knowledge and experience that could be said to significantly exceed that of his fellow students.
Lucius Malfoy's wand , used by Voldemort, cracking due to the power of Harry's wand. When Lord Voldemort attacked Harry, Harry's wand recognised him as an enemy, despite the fact he was using Lucius Malfoy's wand instead of his own, in order to avoid causing the reverse-spell effect. Harry's wand shot " a spurt of golden fire " at Voldemort, destroying Lucius's wand and allowing Harry and Rubeus Hagrid to escape to safety.
Dumbledore theorised that this event, which Ollivander himself described as " unique ", was the result of Harry's wand having absorbed a portion of Voldemort's extensive magical skill during their duel in the Little Hangleton graveyard which it regurgitated upon their encounter. Voldemort had foreseen Harry's intentions, and had planted his snake Nagini in Bathilda's corpse beforehand. As soon as she had Harry alone, Nagini attacked him. Hermione raced to his defence, using a Blasting Curse to repel the snake.
The curse ricocheted, damaging Harry's wand. Harry asked Hermione to repair it afterwards, but it was too badly damaged. Harry was very upset at the loss of his wand, though he was not angry with Hermione, recognising that she had saved his life. Despite its destruction, Harry kept the pieces of the wand in his mokeskin pouch. Harry and Hermione took turns using her wand, until Ronald Weasley returned to them carrying wands he had taken from Snatchers.
Thereafter, Harry made do with a blackthorn wand, although it did not work as well for him as his own wand had. However, the trio was caught by Fenrir Greyback 's Snatcher gang and taken to Malfoy Manor , in the spring of , and all their wands were confiscated.
In the ensuing fray, Harry disarmed Draco Malfoy and took his wand. The loss of the Holly wand was noted by the Malfoys, who had doubt Greyback caught the real Harry as the wand he was carrying at the time was not the one he was usually using.
From this, Voldemort found out that the wand was destroyed, and his fear of the Priori Incantatem was gone. After escaping the Malfoy Manor, Harry requested Mr Ollivander to repair the wand, to which the wand maker stated it was an impossibility by his knowledge. Despite being prepared for this answer, it was still a major blow to him, and he sadly let the topic go. Harry then used the Elder Wand to successfully repair his original wand and planned to return the Elder Wand to the grave of Albus Dumbledore.
It can be assumed that Harry kept his wand, since he went through the trouble of repairing it and used it during his time as an Auror and as Head Auror. He most likely used it when promoted to head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the summer of , as well. Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. At the same time, holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest.
Harry's wand was well suited to him, in a lot of ways a perfect match. Harry had a notorious temper, that at times made him somewhat terrifying to his friends. He also was shown to be impulsive, making many decisions on the fly. Harry faced a spiritual and dangerous quest when he, Ron , and Hermione went a hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes.
This quest tested his limits and shook the faith he had in himself and those around him, but at the same time made him a stronger individual. In the unusual event of such a pairing finding its ideal match, however, nothing and nobody should stand in their way. Harry's wand contained a phoenix feather core, along with the previously mentioned holly wood. Harry was able to perform extraordinary feats with his wand and displayed a relentless determination, proving true the statement that nothing and nobody should stand in the way of this unusual paring of core and wand wood with its rightful match.
Harry Potter owned several different wands up until the end of the Second Wizarding War , though only his holly and phoenix feather wand was considered truly his. Other wands included:.
