Perhaps every child and many adults now know the story of Harry Potter - the boy who lived. The adventures of a little wizard raised in a Muggle family ( ordinary people), so fascinating that each episode of the film is reviewed by viewers more than once. Spells receive no less attention magic items and legends from this story. Let's remember one of these items. What is the Elder Wand, where did it come from and who is its owner? First things first...
Where did the wand come from?
The elder wand was created many centuries ago. According to legend, Death himself made it when he broke off a twig from an elderberry bush. This is why the wand is periodically called the Wand of Death. This was one of the three Gifts of Death itself known in the world of magic to the legendary Perevell brothers, the ancestors of Harry Potter, the Glooms and other families.
It was the eldest of the brothers, who was a very warlike man, who asked Death for such an unusual gift. He wished to own the most powerful magic wand, which would give its owner the opportunity to always win fights. And so it happened.
After his wanderings, the elder Perevell, Antiochus, ended up in a village, where he met a wizard with whom he had once quarreled. Immediately challenged him to a duel. Of course he won. True, very soon his own life was cut short: in one tavern he boasted of a gift and how strong he was. And later, when, having drunk, he fell asleep, one of the visitors to the tavern cut his throat to get magic wand for your personal use.
Since then, the question of who owned the Elder Wand has been constantly asked by people interested in it.
Deathly Hallow and a regular wand
What does the history of the wizarding world say? There are many legends and tales. The photo of the Elder Wand shows a completely ordinary-looking magic wand, similar to those used by all wizards. But she has many advantages hidden from prying eyes.
She is the most ruthless and fearless of all existing magic wands, giving her loyalty only to those who have the power. Every wizard has the right to count on the enormous devotion of his own wand. Even if the mage was disarmed or lost in battle, she would retain a close bond with the owner. But if it becomes a trophy that was won in a real duel, the wand will lose allegiance to the previous owner.
What is known about her?
But with the gift of Death everything is different. This wand does not understand the word "loyalty" because it recognizes only strength and nothing more. There is no sentimentality inherent in her. It is always found where there is great power. And if some wizard wins, then it is he who takes possession of the Elder Wand. But it is not at all necessary (as most people think) to commit the murder of the previous owner. True, it is this seemingly all-powerful wand that is capable of attracting wizards who are ready to commit murder. It attracts people like Voldemort, who quite often believe that the ability to kill is real power.
Fairytale artifacts
Of course, those who have read all parts of the Harry Potter story will remember that Professor Dumbledore had all three artifacts - the Cloak of Invisibility, the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand, which, according to legend, were given by the incarnation of Death to Antiochus, Cadmus and Ignotus Perevell.
Many wizards sought these Gifts, confident that whoever possessed all three would be able to command Death itself. They did not even realize that its master would only be the one who realized its inevitability, who would not be afraid of death, but would accept it as part of his life.
Dumbledore and one of the Hallows
Since we are interested in the most important artifact, according to wizards, we will talk about it. So, the Elder Wand changed its owners more than once. It once belonged to Gellert Grindelwald, then to Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy and, of course, Harry Potter.
So where did Dumbledore get the elder wand? Everything is very simple. History does not know a duel of wizards that could be even remotely comparable to the one that took place in 1945 between Grindelwald and Professor Dumbledore. Everyone who was present truly historical event, then they talked about the awe and horror that gripped them while they watched this duel.
The professor himself, who, as you know, never lied, but only kept things quiet, said that he was only fit to wield this wand, and not to show off or take a life using it. After all, Albus took her not in order to benefit, but to save others from her.
Confusion with owners
If we turn again to the legend, then the artifact wand obeys only the one who was able to defeat its previous owner. Its first owner (as mentioned earlier) was Antiochus Perevell. From him the wand passed to Emeric the Notorious. It changed hands several more times until it ended up in the hands of Albus Dumbledore. He was a very wise owner. And he never used it for selfish, let alone evil, purposes.
Readers often ask the question of why the elder wand belongs to Harry, why did it obey him? It turns out that everything is quite simple. Let's return to the legend, according to which the strongest wand was obedient to the one who defeated its previous owner.
The Dark Lord always remembered that she could pass to a new owner by killing the previous one. That is why he took the life of Severus Snape - the one who was responsible for the death of Professor Dumbledore. However, the One whose name cannot be spoken aloud was fatally mistaken. After all, Dumbledore received the Elder Wand in a duel with Grindelwald, and the latter remained alive. That is, the artifact was an honestly won trophy.
Yes, it was Professor Snape who killed Dumbdore. But here we must also take into account the fact that this was not exactly a murder: Albus knew that the curse that he accidentally took upon himself would sooner or later end his days, and did not want a painful departure. That's why he insisted that it was Snape, whom he trusted, who unleashed Avada Kedavra on him. Therefore, Severus only carried out in this case your promise. And here another “but” arises.
The new owner is Harry?
It was not Snape, but Draco Malfoy who defeated the headmaster that last evening. It was he who managed to disarm the old experienced wizard with a spell. In general, Albus did not particularly resist. He didn't want the teenager to become a killer.
That is why the mistake occurred that cost the Dark Lord his life: he believed that the new owner was Snape, but no. It was the younger Malfoy who became it.
A little later, an event occurred, as a result of which the friends of the Boy Who Lived began to say that the Elder Wand was Harry Potter. The photos that were taken during the filming of the last parts of the film served as involuntary confirmation of this.
Having sent Nagini to Snape, the evil wizard (he was afraid to use Avada Kedavra on Severus) did not become the true owner of the artifact. His wand would not obey him, no matter what he did. Its real owner was Harry, who disarmed Draco in a duel. In addition, it was Potter who became the owner of Malfoy's other wand. Harry took Draco's wand because his (with the phoenix feather) was broken. And Elderberry, who recognizes strength, recognized Harry as her master, despite the fact that she herself was at that moment in the hands of Voldemort. This was one of the reasons for Potter's victory over the powerful Dark Lord. Which, of course, does not exclude the boy’s strength and sincere desire to sacrifice his life for the sake of others.
Another chapter in the history of the wand
One point that remains unclear until the end: who stole the Elder Wand? After all, in the world of magic there is a case where theft occurred. From the very beginning, the history of this Stick of Fate, as it is sometimes called, has been a complicated one. After all, its first owner, Antiochus, was killed. Then traces of her are lost for some time. It is known that she belonged to Emeric the Notorious, Godelot, Loxius... The following rumors about her arose completely unexpectedly. One of the wand makers boasted that in his work he uses the knowledge gained from this wand. Most likely, he simply attracted attention to his products by advertising them in this way. It was Maykyu Grigorovich. His words attracted not only new customers, but also the thief, who turned out to be Gellert Grindelwald. True, he was not an ordinary thief in the generally accepted sense. He, in tandem with Dumbledore, tried to put all three artifacts together.
After receiving the wand, Gellert began to gather supporters and like-minded people to take over the Ministry of Magic. But... This is where the same duel took place, as a result of which the wand legally passed to Albus. And Gellert was placed in a prison that was created especially for him.
We are not talking about the idea of a children's “toy” wand, which little mummered “princesses” carry with them to all kinds of New Year’s parties. We will talk about a real, real magic wand, which has the power to protect its owner from any danger emanating from all sorts of invisible entities that fill our world.
The wand can become the performer of the most secret desires. However, you should not abuse the power with which you charge your wand. A magic wand, no matter how powerful it may be, is a tool in the hands of a person. Therefore, if it falls into the wrong and inept hands, it can harm even its owner!
If you still make up your mind and think that life is not life for you without a magic wand, then know that it will take you whole year. Doesn't stop this long term? Then - forward to your dream, show all your diligence and perseverance. In the process of creating a wand, you will have to teach it a lot, and also learn a lot yourself. You will study together with your wand throughout your entire life - it is during this period that your wand, endowed with your energies, will exhibit “magical” properties and will be able to cast spells.
In order to correctly make your wand with your own hands (there are also not quite correct ones, we will talk about them later), you need to find YOUR tree, which will voluntarily agree (yes, yes, it will agree, you read that right!) to become your friend and assistant on for the rest of my life.
When searching for a suitable tree, you should turn off all extraneous thoughts, concentrate on the task, and listen to your intuition.
Please note - a tree is also a living creature! You can also talk and communicate with him. Some people have very well developed abilities with which they communicate with the surrounding nature! But if you do not have such abilities, do not despair! Intuition and perseverance have not been canceled!
So, for the CORRECT magic wand, a young tree is best suited. If a powerful tree responds to your call, then ask it for a twig.
Just “ask”! In order to “hear” YOUR tree, you need to wander in the park, in the forest, or take a walk in the garden for more than one day.
You can start looking for material for a stick at any time of the year; even winter and autumn are not an obstacle to communicating with wood. Yes, the Tree is sleeping, but it continues to hear, which means it can answer you.
When approaching each tree, address it respectfully with your request, ask the tree for a twig as your faithful friend and helper.
Listen to yourself, perhaps you will be drawn like a magnet to the tree you need.
Having chosen a suitable clearing, sit down among the trees, put all your thoughts in order, start meditation - it will help you concentrate, remove all unnecessary things and enter into harmony with nature.
When pre-selecting a tree, you can also be guided by the Celtic horoscope, in which you will find out which tree matches your character. But, again, I remind you that the tree must agree and voluntarily give you its branch.
By showing your imagination, you can find many more ways to unite with nature, which will be very useful to you in the future - you also need to communicate with a magic wand, mentally merge...
Some experts advise choosing sound tree species for a magic wand. Young plants have a softer core, while older plants have a harder, stronger core.
Sticks made from oak, pine, and bamboo will have interesting properties.
If your choice fell on bamboo wood, then you will simply need to go to the places where this tree grows. More the best option there will be bamboo grown with your own hands in a pot - it is already half energetically connected with you.
Do you know that even in our time, priests of Ganesh and even some Indian Yogis use magic wands with great success! They certainly will not reveal to us their centuries-old secrets and methods of making sticks!
So, you set off for a walk in the forest (park, garden). While meditating, you felt that some tree was “calling” you. Another moment and you are already standing under it. Try to start a dialogue with the tree, listen... If you have the ability to communicate with nature, it will be easier for you to establish contact with the right tree. If not, use your intuition.
Listen to your feelings carefully and don’t think about cutting off the first branch you come across. When you clearly hear the tree's response, explain to it why you need the stick. Explain that you will make a magical thing out of it that will be your friend and helper. Only after receiving consent from the tree to give you a branch, you can proceed to the next stage!
We received consent. Now you need to correctly cut off the desired branch. To do this, hit the base of the branch sharply, but not hard. Proof that you heard everything correctly and correctly understood the tree’s answer will be a branch that easily falls off.
And now the second one begins an important part transforming an ordinary branch into a magical instrument of witchcraft.

How to make a magic wand to cast magic
It's coming very important point! The branch has been obtained, now you need to correctly make the stick itself from it.
To begin with, the resulting branch must be rid of side shoots and buds, cleared of bark, given the intended shape and cleaned until smooth.
Take your branch in your hands, align the cut, cut the other end of the branch, determining the desired length for your stick;
Cut off all shoots on the branch;
Now put down the knife! In the future, when making a wand, you won’t need it anymore! All processes will need to be done manually!
Clean the workpiece from the bark using your nails and teeth. When the workpiece becomes completely white, you can stop - the bark has been successfully removed;
The cleaned stick must dry well within 10-15 days so that we can move on to the next operation. I draw your attention to the fact that the wand must be in constant contact with the owner;
The next stage is ironing. To do this you only need to take natural instruments, namely fine-grained pumice or stone. With their help, slowly and with all your heart, you should carefully process the wand. If desired, you can sharpen one end of the stick. Having sanded the stick in this way, achieve complete smoothness and level it along its entire length;
For convenience and for the purpose of constantly carrying the stick with you, make a small hole in it (again using your nails!) and thread a loop of braid into it.
Don’t be afraid that soon the smooth stick will become covered with small cracks - this is normal and natural process. We continue to grind and ensure that the stick dries completely - then it will no longer crack, but will remain smooth forever. When such a result is achieved, know that it is yours. wand for witchcraft completely ready!
A prerequisite is the owner's constant contact with his future magic wand (from the moment of cutting)! Whether it’s in the shower, whether it’s in bed, at work, or on the street – the “candidate” stick preparation should be with you constantly and every second! Contacting the owner, she gains his energy and is born like a WAND! Staying with the owner in various life situations, she, together with him, feels the emotions experienced by the owner, which allows the wand to tune in to the owner and come into contact with him. The most interesting thing is that over time, the owner will also feel the emotions that the wand experiences - the connection is two-way. Try to pick up the wand at every opportunity, talk to it, tell it about your desires, pass your thoughts through it. Committing magical rituals, the main participant in the action should be your magic wand.
Do not leave your “sorceress” even for a moment for a whole year - it is during this time that the wand will be saturated with YOUR energy. The contact will be so powerful that any of your desires, any of your slipped thoughts will be known to the magic wand. She will become a formidable weapon in your hands, protection and friend. You will never want to part with her!
At the very beginning, we mentioned that there is another type of sticks that is easier to make, simpler, but such a stick will not have a long-lasting effect.
A wand - a craft will turn out half magical if you do not have contact with it every second, if the time for its production is significantly reduced, if when processing it you used instead natural stones sandpaper or a nail file.
Such a wand will also contain some magical properties, but it will not last long at all.

Weren't you scared by everything you read? Aren't you afraid of being the owner of a Force of such power? Then search and create, but do not forget that you must be guided primarily by justice, objectivity and mercy. Otherwise, your own weapon in the wrong hands will be directed at you! Easing people's suffering, healing incurable diseases, getting rid of harmful entities - this is a worthy use for a magic wand!

What you can do with a spell wand:
In ancient and mysterious times, when not everyone knew how to make a magic wand, it was kept a closely guarded secret. With the help of such a wand they could make completely extraordinary spells, they could turn a person into some kind of animal, create and fulfill various desires. We discussed above how you can make a magic cane at home. I hope these tips help you and you do some crazy things.
After the release of the Harry Potter films, the magic wand became an indispensable attribute of any masquerades or holidays for children, where, in theory, magic should be present. It’s not difficult to make such a wand with your own hands, you will spend at most two hours on a wonderful wand, and you can make a wand for a fairy or a cool wizard, for a little princess or like Potter himself - it all depends on your imagination.
For the magic wand you will need the following:
Two sheets of white A4 paper,
Sushi stick,
Plastic tube (wide),
PVA glue,
Acrylic paints,
Thermal gun,
Round large bead, narrow long bead.
Step-by-step master class on making a magic wand with your own hands:
1. Place a wooden stick and a tube on the paper to understand the angle of inclination.
2. We put the tube on the stick to the point of expansion.
3. Place the workpiece at the correct angle on the paper, and coat the part of the paper from the stick to the right with PVA glue.
4. We wrap the stick with paper without glue, lightly pushing the paper under the stick. Lubricate the corner of the paper with glue.
5. Fold the paper around the stick and let the stick sit until the glue dries.
6. Cut off the edges of the stick evenly, put balls from a regular napkin inside (this is to reduce the amount of hot-melt glue in the future).
7. From the second sheet, cut off 1/3 of the short side for the handle of the magic wand.
8. Glue this part to one end of the stick, slightly pushing out the edge of the strip (creating volume for the bead).
9. This is what the handle of a magic wand looks like without a bead.
10. Drop a large drop of hot glue into the hole in the handle, where the napkin ball has already been inserted.
11. Immediately place a bead on the glue (it can be of any color, but the diameter of the bead should be slightly larger than the diameter of the handle).
12. Along the edge of the bead we lay a thin “stream” of hot glue - this is the lower edge of the magic wand.
13. Along the edge of the stick handle (where the thickening of the paper ends) we make a circular outline with glue.
14. Then, along the very edge of the magic wand handle, we make a stroke again. We constantly twist the stick in our hands so that the glue does not flow to one side. We make a patterned spiral along the long end of the stick with a very thin strip of glue.
15. At the thin end of the stick we strengthen the long bead in the same way.
16. When the glue is completely dry, we will paint the stick. We use acrylic paints for this.
17. For the handle of the wand we chose dark brown paint. You can paint with a regular soft brush for children's drawing. Let the painted end of the stick dry completely.
18. Paint the thin end of the stick with cream paint and let it dry too. The magic wand is ready. If desired, you can coat it with colorless varnish and make more decorations.
