How Wands Are Made Explained

Please watch: "The Life Of Marius de Romanus (Vampire Chronicles)"
• Video -~-
How are wands made..I think it’s a question that’s long been asked but never really truly been answered. Even in my own 3 years on youtube running this channel, the topic of how a wand is actually made has been a video I’ve wanted to cover for quite a long time..the truth is..I just never really got around to it..but today that changes because explaining how a wand is made is exactly what I’m going to do. Not only that, I’m going to talk about the entire history of wands also so with that being said please allow me to take you back into the world of Harry Potter and while you’re there, enjoy todays video.

[@Shaden0040]

I wonder if the first witches and wizards who had walking staves and canes accidentally found their magic strwngthened when holding such wooden aids. This might be why staves and canes have been reported to have magical powers from Gandalf's staff or Shillaleys to Baba Yaga's cane, and so on. I wonder if Asia magical folk even use twin wands out of the chopstick tradition to make magic. Or possibly from wooden knitting needles to litterally weave and knit magic. Some magic folk might have found that keeping associated items of magical creatures was also benficial, such as a feather in one's cap, a "rabbut's foot",Newt's eye, etc. Eventually the Woden objects grew smaller and were combined with the other magical element enhancers. I my imagination that is how it came about. Combination of magic enhancing wooden objects and magic enhancing fetishes to make some of the earliest wands.

I don't think a wand requires another wand or even magic to be made, as James Stewart (a Muggle) made the wands for Chadwick and Webster Boot when Ilvermorny was in its infancy. He had a background in carpentry and masonry which allowed him to work out how to make the wands for the boys using the Horned River Serpent horn shavings given to him by Isolt.

[@vincenttolbert7249]

animefallenangel I was thinking about that too. But one could argue that there was a wand that could have been used to help make them. He may have chosen the wood, craved it out then have her make the holes needed to place the cores into them.

[@temper2628]

[@angelwhispers2060]

I always got the impression that inserting the magical core successfully would have required Isault Sayre to help him. His carpentry skills simply helped form the body of the wand. Issault herself would have had to go pick out the wand Woods by looking for bowtruckles or magically sensing the power of certain trees. Once Isult had provided him with the magical wood and cores his ordinary skills could do the bulk of the work until it was time to implant the cores.

[@Livelife424]

I am a professional woodworker* There are many things wizards don't know how to do without magic. That is why Arthur Weasley is so fascinated with muggers. Because of the inventive solutions muggles have found without magic. Carpentry is just another skill that some may see as magic. Just like masters of anything can be seen as magic

[@MrGreenthumb1000]

I've always thought about wand making like any muggle technology. The first wand cores were affixed using a delicate and fine control over the crafter's internal wandless magic, only possible by very naturally gifted witches and wizards, resulting in a rough generation of proto-wands which were in turn used to better bind new cores, only obtainable through the use of the proto-wands magic now possible, to more wands that ended up being better than the first generation. After that the difference would be noticed and a wand crafting specialist class would emerge.

[@juliie007]

I thought I was the only one who wondered what unique circumstances would allow a wizard to use such a wand with double cores. Perhaps an ideal wizard would be a hybrid like a Fleur Delacour who was a witch and quarter Veela coz she can use Veela hair to access abilities from her Veela ancestry and unicorn hair which is compatible with her style of wizard magic particularly in charms. Then perhaps her wand wouldn’t be so inflexible.

That's true, leaves me wondering though, should magic be taught without a wand first? Does it make the witch or wizard more adept in the long run? I haven't looked into the jkr wand lore too much. I really enjoy it though I've used aspects of it in my own wand/ magical weaponry lore

[@nairbvel]

@@richardchisenhall387 I'll posit that it depends on the culture the magic user is raised in. European magics, at least in literature, seem to incorporate wands (or wand-like tools such as staffs) a great deal more than magic from other (generalized) cultures. For other examples, magics in the Americas seemed to be based more on herbalism and/or astronomy/astrology, while some Asian magics incorporate body movements to a stronger degree and classically have a different set of "basic" elements as well as a very different zodiac. (NOTE: I am including a very limited number of very limited examples for clarity's sake; there are plenty of other forms of magical practice in the Aboriginal, African, and Pacific cultures.) About the only magical tool I know of that seems to be almost universal is the poppet/doll, even though they may represent different things in different cultures.

[@jaysonisgreat]

I was always under the impression that they focus on wandless magic for the most part, but that they do use wands for some stuff. I mean, look at European wizard schools, lots have hard time performing magic without it, so I'm sure in africa, and even Asia and Brazil and the others, that it's the same case

[@helenmaibam5918]

Does that means expelliarmus is useless?

[@debrahall3002]

Loved this video! I think I asked about a year ago how they were made. Thank you! Very interesting!

[@superomegaprimemk2]

I think whoever discovered the idea of channeling their magic through a stick was likely in a wizards duel and were about to be defeated when they grabbed the nearest branch lying upon the ground and without thinking yelled out the killing curse and found the magic flowing somewhat through the branch and killing their foe, also I think the branch likely caught fire because the cores would regulate the flow of magic and act like a tap to control the flow of magic!!

[@rencloudkicker]

Nice breakdown for the Potter Universe. But I'm surprised you didnt go into detail on how Rowling chose what wand went with what characters. The woods are based off of the Celtic version of the zodiac. Each wood has characteristic. You can actually match these up pretty well with the owners. But not only did Rowling take that detail, but she also includes the length, which is a big part. She must have done a lot of planning ahead. You can take the length of each person's wand on the books and using numerology, it will give you the matching characteristics of that character. It's pretty impressive that she went that deep into building the foundation for wands and their meaning and how they are matched. I also believe each h of the character's names are supposed to match to what kind of person they are in numerology also, but I could be mistaken on that part.

[@CHLOCHLOLP]

thats really cool, thanks for the extra info

[@magikp6636]

Very interesting. I wasn't aware that numerology or zodiac was involved in the making of wands.

[@MrTremagnus]

Remember also that James Steward, a No-Maj, created wands with the help of Isolt for Ilvermorny students. Now that is impressive!

[@angelwhispers2060]

I think we have to remember that pretty much everyone back then had the had some level of Woodcraft skills or someone in their Village that was a dedicated Carpenter. My theory on that matter is pretty simple. He looked at and studied how the wand Isolt had looked and then simply carved wood she told him to carve into a similar shape but with different designs. He would have used a hand drill or a bow drill to very carefully make the hole where the core would be placed. So the physical work of making the outside of a wand is something completely within the skills of a no-Maj Carpenter. Adding the core would have been his wife's prerogative and because the two wands that we know for certain James made used shavings from the Horn of a horned serpent. You're talkin about a relatively small amount of material not something long, skinny and difficult like unicorn hair or Phoenix Feather or even dragon heartstring. Which presumably you need to have at least a few inches worth of these longer materials to get enough inside the wand to do anything. The horned Serpent's horn being a denser material you probably didn't need nearly as much of it as far as deepth into the wand is concerned. This relatively easy set being the first wands he made makes a lot of sense. Overtime making a lot of them I'm sure he would get more and more skilled at it. But when you consider that no-maj fans of the series all of the world put bits of wood on turning lathe, all the time making wands that look like the ones in the movie and are described in the books. It's clearly a skill that's well within the realm of what someone with no magical ability at all can do. What separates wands in the Magical World from things that we can do in real life is the existence and in some cases even control of these magical creatures enough to have a steady supply of working wand cores.

[@gildavis6113]

This what I believe when it comes to wand making. As you’ve stated, a wand focuses and extends the power of the witch, or wizard who uses it. And,as you stated, there are two main components to a wands construction; the wood and the magical core within it. Wood, unlike a more solid substance, such as a metal, has many unique qualities that make it ideal in wand lore. There are several types of wood and each is unique in its own particular way. For example, each type of wood has its own brand of strength, it’s own type of liner cell structure and density. And each can enhance a particular core in a different way. Part of the craft in making a wand has to do with the way a core is placed in it’s wood host. Will it be placed folded in a clockwise, or counter clockwise position? Will it be placed with the narrow end up, or down? And so forth. Another consideration is the depth of the core hole in to which it is placed, the thickness of it’s host, etc. As you mentioned no two wands are alike. And each who uses it will have different degrees of success doing so based on these factors and others.

The ideal behind the old gods being magicians makes so much sense on such a bounding scale. Wow.... Haha I love your videos, even after all that time away, always.

[@fantomenace302]

With the drop of Wizards Unite, you are badly needed. Thanks for coming back

[@Beavers94]

Keep up the wand lore as much as you can, ive tried to research it myself but to no avail. I love your videos!!

[@saffyalcremie]

This was a fabulous video. A pleasure to watch

[@ThanosTheTitan93]

I have a question. Can a person custom make their wand design or do they have to stick with the wand that "choose them"

[@jeanlukvolker2358]

Imagine if a wand was made with two dragon heartstring cores in elder wood. It would be OP.

[@skoobydu1364]

Imagine a dementor essence core

[@____________838]

“Dementor wrappings”?

[@tylersoto7465]

Or take the basilisk skeleton from Hogwarts or the giant spider aragog to use lol

[@tylersoto7465]

Imagine a handful of threstral hairs in a elder wand going off like a nuke lol 😆

[@eddiebraga]

Oh my gosh I love this video. It has a different feel to it. I love it! 😍

[@franceslambert8070]

Thank you for a great birth day present. I have been hoping for a "how to make a wand" video for a long time, and you delivered it for my birth day today!!!

[@mollygrant1221]

LOVE YOU DEAN we are always looking forward to your vids and love the new intro by the way

[@mollygrant1221]

Thanks Dean means alot I have depression and when I'm not crying I'm watching you

[@joshuajones9035]

.... plastic injection molding, that’s how wands are made

[@edienandy]

SeedlessJellyBeans yes. They handcrafted a “ master” copy of each wand out of wood and then made a mold of each wand so they could make as many copies as they needed.

[@reynabryer]

This is the first time I was early on your channel

[@connorb1775]

Was hoping for a bit more information such as how they decided a length, how they harvest the cores, do they have farms for dragon's and unicorns, etc

[@TheSaneHatter]

"One wand is needed to make another." It's a simple, but profound insight, the single most important thing said in this video . . . and it explains so much.

[@Alex-ri3nn]

Do a video what would happen if Remus Lupin stayed as the DADA Professor in the 4th Year of Harry, also do a one which is: What if Peter Pettigrew died in the Prisoner of Azkaban

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

I always wondered what would happen if Remus Lupin stayed as Professor. It would have to be if Snape never blurted out his secret, or if Hogwarts itself lasted with parents pulling their kids out od school?

[@carlinrackley8547]

I've wondered why no one thought to put the Unbreakable charm on their wand, to prevent it from being broken.

[@nasrinv]

Glad you’re back from your break!

[@themangowithanunkownfuture4574]

What do I want to be when I grow up? A wand maker! Seriously, I'm practicing!

[@ladykoiwolfe]

This is a good video, but I'm still left with that one burning question, how did they get the core into the wood? Unfortunately the only answer we seem to have is it's magic.

[@CHLOCHLOLP]

they probably put it in one end of the hole and summon it through the other end.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

@@CHLOCHLOLP but we never see a hole at either end.

[@CHLOCHLOLP]

@@ladykoiwolfe they probably cap it with a wooden peg or fill the hole with a sort of resin. If the hole is super tiny, only as big as the core, you wouldnt be able to see that unless you looked close at the ends.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

@@CHLOCHLOLP i dunno seems too muggle of an approach.

[@CHLOCHLOLP]

@@ladykoiwolfe they dont do eveything differently, they just use magic to help a lot of the time.

[@brandoncerny6185]

Been waiting for this video to come about

[@nameless6581]

Same

[@Midnightpigeon666]

Fantastic video! I think the core comes first and then the wand maker would magically encourage the chosen wood to grow up around it, encasing the core completely ready to be carved.

[@veebhushah9667]

WHO IN THE HECK WOULD DISLIKE THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!

[@russellsmith3825]

People who don't want to watch 6 commercials.

[@arandumendez9557]

The core could be inserted by drying the wood completely, making a hole in the handle for the core to fit and rehydrating the wood. This would make it so that the core could not slide out

[@MrJordwalk]

Are Wand Cores pieces of the souls/life forces of whatever animals they're taken from, and is this why Wands are quasi-sentient?

[@____________838]

At the very least, an echo of the soul.

[@kendrawallace2488]

👏👏👏👏👏 Top notch! Always great content from you, but you need to know that you are improving, end-over-end, sir 😊

[@acidicpoisonz]

thank you so much I've spent the better part of six months for a solo campaign im in trying to figure out how the first wand was made and it drove me to the brink of just giving up on it. you sir are a hero

[@albertoamador9807]

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away magic was known as "The Force" ? 🤔

[@Archalias100]

[@jeysiii_]

I'm studying wandlore, this video will really help me. Hihi, TY

[@alexjomain828]

"This video is sponsored by Ollivander"

[@oldscoolgaming6700]

I sometimes carve wands in my spare time.

[@christianslater191]

Love the Age of Mythology pictures!

[@crazyman8472]

The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter... 😎

[@clintwhalley3550]

They use wandless magic to make a wand

[@GordieKat]

Not necessarily.

[@justtalooma320]

I subscribed and turned my notifications on

[@lordhydra474]

good

[@xhante_]

If a wand is needed to make another, I’d love a video on the first wand ever made.

[@charlesdavis7087]

Dear Dean; What kind of a little genius are you? Fascinating.

[@heythere8866]

"How It's Made Wand" anyway nice video gj.

[@evilwarcow]

My pottermore wand is: Chestnut wood with a Phoenix core feather 13 ¾" and Hard flexibility

[@isakpalsson9012]

Exactly the same but Ebony Wood for me

[@NinjaLeafSakura1]

evilwarcow my pottermore wand is apple dew, unicorn hair, and pliable and 11 1/2 inches. But my physical one is ash and cherry wood, unicorn hair, flexible, and 14 1/2 inches and it has fox paw prints carved into it!

[@minhajnizam5090]

Mine is Sycamore Wood wand, with dragon heartstring core.

[@miguichaotic9855]

Mine is rowan wood phoenix feather core 13 inchess slightly yield flexibility

[@Batshit79]

In the movies, when the wands are snapped on purpose it looks to me like the core is broke also

[@JonTonyJim]

Thank you for explaining that, Seamus

[@Saxthefan]

In Star Wars Jedi padawans have to build there own lightsabers, why can’t the first students who begin at hogwarts learn how to make there own wands

[@paulp9487]

Firstly like he said in the Video making a Wand is extremely difficult even for an advanced wizard so 1st years would blow up themselfes while trying or nothing will happen. And the other problem is the Wand choose the Wizard and just by making them you are not the Owner of the Wand otherwise everyone has to duel olivander so he becomes the owner of the wand. (Sry for my englisch its not quite perfect yet)

[@ellendegeneresofficial3543]

Ok but aside from all of this... Why the hell did they use a big stick for James’s wand in the order of the Phoenix when harry saw some of snakes memories.

[@shandy2470]

Might have just been a camera angle issue

[@chinmayee8371]

Missed you so much but this vid made up for all of it! Best video of yours till date, honestly. The. Best. Ever. Lots of love

[@riteekasahoo4698]

Your videos make me feel that hp world really exists

[@JTPeacmaker]

On Pottermore is how I got my wand. And my wand is Pear Wood with Unicorn Hair core 12" and pliant flexibility

[@synflwr]

Mine is despacito wood with Mountain Dew core 69” and gay flexibility

[@chrisalexander3430]

U should do a video on Harry’s wand after being repaired by the elder wand

[@ambzerambzer8800]

Great video Dean, i love how enthusiastic you sound in your videos, shows how much you love it :) Did that peverelle brother actually make the elder wand? Or is that just fan theory? Two things that perhaps could've been mentioned is that the American Wizard school founder created her wands from that sea serpant thing. (I watched in movieflames video) And maybe What if no wand at Olivanders chooses a witch/wizard, what do they do? Get one somewhere else? Or pick one and make do? Lol - next theory video maybe :)

[@hatsuharuboi]

I think that wand evolved from canes or staves and gradually became shorter. Also, it is kinda implicit that outside of Europe they become less common, so I imagine that there are other magical objects, created by other magical cultures that can be used as a focus. I imagine that magical gems and minerals must also exist (like the ressucitation stone), or ways to enchant metal (like the goblins do), to become conduits...

[@basically_chris]

10 minutes to hear they drill a hole at the back and using magic they slide the core inside

[@davincent98]

Not going there
