The Bloody Story of the Elder Wand (All Owners) - Harry Potter Explained

[@JutoCrocell]

I like how the Elder Wand refuses to give you extra power during a duel and makes you win on your own ability to test your worthiness

[@kindalost2495]

not Pay2Win good devs

[@kamerondonaldson5976]

but if you proved your worth by winning against everyone in the world on your own power even once that should make you the master of it forever ever. not just for life.. because your life should last forever at that point. it should not require you to pass the test again against a cult of holdouts somewhere trying to restore life to the world.

Instead Harry put it back in the grave with Dumbledore's body where no one would know where it was.

Its also possible that the Wand is only capable of enhancing already existing spells beyond their limits. If a spell that can mend the shattered minds of the Longbottoms exists then it is unknow at the time Harry had the wand. Keep in mind it would be the same spell that could heal Lockhart and he is also permanently disabled beyond the abilities of known magic.

Grindelwald lost possession and true mastery of the Elder Wand when Newt disarmed him in the fight at the station in New York in FB1 (1926). That made Newt the wand's true master. Tina summoned the wand to herself before it hit the platform, but didn't disarm anyone in the process - it had already left Grindelwald's hand - so she didn't become true master. Grindelwald regained possession of the Elder Wand when he escaped from MACUSA's captivity, but he is no longer it's true master. Kama used Expeliarmus to disarm Newt in the sewers in Paris in FB2 (1927). So as of the end of FB2, Kama is the Elder Wand's current true master.

[@TheBoss-vs7vs]

Exactly. I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing it. The Elder Wand changes allegiance each time its current master is overpowered beyond resistance, indipendently from the means. And this happened in both the instances you've perfectly mentioned. I'd also stress 2 aspects. The first is that there seems to be a pattern with a Fantastic Beast "distracting" the audience from the ongoing change in allegiance of the Elder Wand. The second is the fact that these changes in allegiance (and I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see other ones in the next movies) may elegantly resolve the mystery about Dumbledore winning the Elder Wand's allegiance from Grindelwald. Because it means that Dumbledore may gain the allegiance INDIRECTLY from Grindelwald. Basically, if Dumbledore overpowers Kama (or a wizard/witch who overpowered Kama), he can become the master of the Elder Wand BEFORE gaining the mere physical possesion of the Wand. And this last change of allegiance may happen even at the last minute of the final 1945 duel.

[@stuartmcnaughton1495]

@@TheBoss-vs7vs Yes, I had picked up on the implications for the famed Dumbledore Vs Grindelwald duel and had also expected the Elder Wand's true master to change, probably once in each FB episode.

[@Connor-ml1zd]

I hadn't even thought about the elder wand changing possession in FB

[@XodiaqKey]

One thing that always trips me up is how Grindelwald had the wand answering to him to begin with. It seems like every other instance of the wand changing Allegiance it was due to either being bested in a duel, being murdered or being bested in some way. How it is always stated that Grindelwald simply stole the wand. Did he murder its previous owner? If simple theft was enough then Voldemort would have had the wand's Allegiance but that isn't how it works so why did Grindelwald have the wand answering to him to begin with?

[@stuartmcnaughton1495]

@@XodiaqKey Simple theft is enough, but only if you steal a wand (it can be any wand if the true master is using it) from the Elder Wand's true master. Grindelwald stole the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch, who was it's true master at the time. Voldemort stole the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb, but Dumbledore had not been it's true master at the end. True mastery had already passed to Draco Malfoy when he disarmed Dumbledore on top of the tower, and then to Harry when he stole Draco's wand.

I find the wands to witches/wizards in Harry Potter to be strongly parallel to the lightsabers in Star Wars. In HP, the wand with a particular core chooses the wizard. In SW, the kyber crystal that powers a lightsaber chooses the Jedi. Both can be seen as general weapons for their respective individual, but it becomes the true and full extension of the one it's destined for. And then the Elder Wand - the most powerful wand. Changes owners through disarm (or killing, depending on the situation). Very similar to the Darksaber.

[@Hiten19]

Here’s a crazy theory. The elder wand is a naturally powerful wand, yes. It is truly at its peak power when used by its true owner. A wand that can not be beaten. But what if the true owner is and ALWAYS ever was the first Peveral brother? The wand was technically never “won” from him. It was stolen. And not stolen from an owner while in conflict like harry and draco, stolen unawares from a dead owner. So the ownership died with the first owner, but the legend lived on with the subsequent possessors.

[@wintertrooper7918]

Or perhaps the true owner had always been Death from the very beginning the ultimate fate of all welders is death

[@Tobi-cc5fc]

As much as I like the idea of the wands power breaking, I'd just like to point out that in order for Harry to achieve this he'd effectively have to make sure he was never disarmed EVER for the rest of his life or the wands allegiance would change. The only way to counteract that would be to disarm or kill the person who disarmed him before they were disarmed or killed by someone else. Pretty difficult task considering he chose to become an auror. In this sense, I did sort've prefer the movie ending where he snaps the wand in half as that way the wands power is truly broken. My only issue is that they never showed him repairing the holly wand

[@tylerbarnard5428]

That's what bugs me so much. He should have broken it like he does in the movie. So much of this Elder Wand stuff is speculation. There is only so much that is actually said in the books about how it changes owners.

[@CristiNeagu]

Yes, but just like Malfoy, the new owner wouldn't know the significance of disarming Harry. He wouldn't know he's the new master of the wand, nor would he know where to look for it. Whoever defeated him would have even less of an inkling. At some point, either the current owner would die undefeated, breaking the power, or whoever finds the wand would have no way of knowing who it belongs to currently. The biggest problem with this is that there is no indication the power would break. Maybe once the wand no longer has a master, it would accept anyone that came across it.

I don't understand how the wand only works for the next owner if bestest by another , but Grindle only stole it from a persons shop? Did it work for him still in that case?

[@w.c2255]

Yes it did. Grindelwald knew disarming was only needed to gain ownership of the wand and he tracked it to Gregorovitch. When he got there he stunned him with stupify and disarmed him gaining ownership of the Elder wand. The wand will always work for the new owner as he defeats the previous owner and the wand will go the wizard who defeated him. Killing or disarming is a sign of defeat cause the owner of Elder wand did give his best before he loses or dies. Much like Grindelwald how he lost against Dumbledore cause Dumbledore best him. Its a complicated wand but very sensitive of what the user wants.

[@laurenkyker2720]

I have this very same question. Why didn't Death reclaim his gifts?

[@Gamble9110]

@@laurenkyker2720 I would assume that the appeal of the lure (not lore) of the hallows legend would draw in others after the understanding of how they work spread through tales that it would incite violence giving death additional souls to compensate for the loss of souls from the 3 brothers creating the bridge... plus more. Atleast that seems logical to me.

[@w.c2255]

I'll explain it to my understanding. Remember the story of the Hallows are more hyperbolic than realism. The creation of the Hallows are said to come from Death but some argue( like Dumbledore) the Hallows were actaully created by the brothers themselves. People said death created it as a means to spread the danger of each Hallow and what impact it had on each brother because all 3 died but the last brother died peacefully while the other 2 died out of misery and murder. To explain how the wand got back into circulation, the story was told that death came in a form of the wizard while in reality the wizard saw how powerful the wand was killing the brother and taking the wand( death wasn't really the wizard, but the wizard had the intention to kill the brother thats why death was used). The second brother died by committing( death wasn't present but because he killed himself death is involved in suicide.) The reason why death greeted the last brother peacefully as an old friend is because he died of old age( people that reach at great age are more frequent to accept death as they have lived their life good and so death visits them peacefully). The Wand came back in circulation because the first brother was killed and each wizard after that believe death was the way to achieve the wand, killing the owner of the wand will allow the all to switch. It was only until Grindelwald figured out that the alliance switches upon disarming the owner and it is not necessary to kill them.

[@emanuelsegovia7250]

How exactly did Grindlewald gain true ownership of the wand? Is stealing it considered “besting” Grogorovich??

[@w.c2255]

Grindelwald knew disarming the person the alliances switches and therefore tracked it to Gregorovitch. It is explained that Grindelwald stunned him and stole the wand but if you go in deeper in thought, the spell Grindelwald used to stun him must of been stupify and then Grindelwald disarmed him to steal wand. Thats how Grindelwald became the master of the wand. There are generally 4 ways to achieve mastery over the Elder Wand. 1.) By killing its owner, the alliance switches to the new wizard who becomes the master. 2.) Disarming the owner( without killing him/her) the alliance switches to the wizard that becomes the new owner. 3.) By mere force( such as Harry took Draco wand from him even though it was only an ordinary wand) the alliance still switches. Taking another wand by using mere force causes alliance to switch. 4.) Disarming, killing or mere force the wizard that uses another wand. If the owner of the Elder Wand uses another wand on him and he gets disarmed, killed or his wand taken from him by another wizard the alliance switches which causes the wizard to be the new owner. The reason for this is that the Elder Wand is unique wand that senses its owner way of things and thoughts. The wand doesnt need to be on the owner to switch alliance because it senses loyalty and presence. Therefore not knowing how to use it properly can be a big problem.

Voldemort was under the false belief you had to kill the owner yourself. Like a game of telephone I imagine he just heard a wrong version of the story, or Harry realized what happened when Ollivander mentioned Draco's wand changing allegiance upon being disarmed from him and realized that the Elder Wand did the same.

[@mrpitman5496]

The wand seems to have something in it that pulls it toward strong magician the same way a plant fallows the sun. Why would Harry think that it would lose its power when he died? It's not like other wands that seem to work best for their personality but just wizardly power.

[@dungusglumbus9946]

I’ve been pondering this as well. For a wand that “must will duels for its owner,” it kinda sucks at winning duels 😂 if we assume that Grindlewald was the true master of the Elder Wand, how is it possible that he loses to Dumbledore? Likewise with the other previous owners who were ‘beaten’ in duels. I believe this is because ultimately, the Elder Wand was crafted by Death himself, with the intent of it killing the 1st brother (indirectly). So Death always intended for the wand to be unreliable and cause destruction. Because then Death could reap more souls from the wizards who were killing each other in order to attain the Elder Wand

theory/question: Did Voldemort became the owner of the elder wand when he “killed” Harry in the woods (I know he technically didn’t kill but still kinda beat him). In the final battle after Harry disarmed Voldemort he of course became its owner again, but I think it’s kinda interesting that Voldemort could have had the full power and possession in the final fight.

[@w.c2255]

No Harry remained the owner the whole time. The Elder Wand is a special wand that senses loyalty and its owner thoughts. When Harry disarmed Draco( even though Draco had his own wand) the alliance still switched because the Elder Wand senses the owner presence. In the forest when Voldemort used the death spell on Harry he closed his eyes when that happen which caused the wand to do what Harry asked and therefore Harry allowed the wand to attack him on that moment. In the last fight when Voldemort tried to do it again on Harry the spell backfired killing him because Harry thoughts wasn't to be defeated and the Elder Wand doesnt kill its owner( only on request like the forest scene). The wand is very unique and therefore can do alot more than ordinary wand.

[@abdussalam2714]

Thestral Tail Hair makes for wands of the least amount of loyalty and this is enhanced by pairing it with elder wood. Quote from the wiki: "They contain powerful magic, but scorn to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep an elder wand for any length of time." The most powerful combination, but also the most disloyal. To tame Elder wood, pair it with unicorn tail hair, and to tame Thestral Tail hair, encase in Ash wood.

The only thing that you left was, Harry repaired his original wand with the Elder Wand before he returned it to its resting place.

In some ways it was a better solution than worrying whether someone would find it and go after Harry to master it. Then, of course, where it was returned to was not well known.

[@julianuga]

There should be a sequel where a voldemort copycat trieds to arise 19 years later and Harry is forced to use his ultimate weapon if he's to stand any chance.

[@georgiosrinakakis934]

And that is the plot hole in the story. If you can own a wand be defeating the owner, none wizard should not have ownership in their wands. In Hogwards all students duel all the time. Each time, the wand changes owner? Also, Draco was disarmed by Harry, but he was not fighting with the Elder Wand. It seems that the wand changes royalty at the right conditions to fullfil the story and not with (wizardy) logic.

[@georgiosrinakakis934]

Also, as @Stuart McNaughton mention it in a comment, Newt disarmed Grindelwald, and then he was disarmed by Kama.

It was probably for the best that Harry disposed of it. That would have painted a bigger target on his head. Though he should have kept one half just in case someone tries to restore it. Now both halfs can just be found.

Considering the fact that he had no desire to use it, it is worth pondering whether Dumbledore would have bequeathed the Elder Wand to Harry as a safeguard against Voldemort, as an additional layer of defense to his strategy to neutralize its magic?

[@rananauiv151]

I think none of them were the true owners of the elder wand the first brother was killed in his sleep not defeated in a duel so the wand never lost ownership and will forever belong to the first brother

[@morpheuslordofoneiroi3293]

I wonder if anyone has attempted or will attempt at making their own Elder Wand. It wouldn't be a proper Elder Wand, of course, but it might be pretty powerful still.

[@jagth8138]

I honestly suspect that avada kedavra came with elder wand and it's a spell made by death itself. It's not confirmed yet, but apparently your magic skills must be above avarage to cast the killing curse, so probably not everyone will ever cast it in their lives

[@Giant2005]

I don't believe Harry's theory that disarming changes ownership of the wand and that is why he received ownership from Malfoy. The Elder Wand wasn't even present when Harry disarmed Malfoy. It makes more sense that Malfoy never owned the wand and that Snape was legitimately the owner as Voldemort had assumed. However Voldemort didn't kill Snape (Nagini did) and Harry claimed credit for Snape's death by being the Wizard closet to him at his final moment.

[@w.c2255]

Actaully the disarming theory is proved true cause Grindelwald was the first person to figure it out( Gregorovitch isn't revealed how he got the wand). Killing isn't necessary and disarming is the only thing needed. Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and gain ownership of the wand by mere disarming and defeating him. I understand your point of Harry but the wand did belong to him and I'll tell you why. Remember the Elder Wand doesnt need to be on the person to lose ownership of it. Draco used his own wand but when Harry took his wand by mere force Draco was defeated and lost his normal wand causing the Elder Wand to sense that Draco lost and was defeated feeling Harry is its new master. Voldemort struggled with the wand and he tried to cast power spells( spells his normal wand would of cast) but the Elder wand resisted. Therefore Voldemort forced the Elder Wand by using his own power to cast a powerful spell to destroy the protego charm around Hogwarts which resulted in the wand to crack at the side. Voldemort knew the wand wasn't his and merely believed according to the legend killing the previous owner you gain ownership and thought Snape was the new owner. Also when Voldemort cast the cruciates spell on Harry to confirm he is dead( after he cast Death Spell on him cause Harry allowed him) the spell didn't harm Harry cause the wand belonged to him and Harry knew that. That is why Harry allowed the wand to kill him cause he ordered it so. In the last fight Voldemort tried to kill him with the same spell but against Harry motives and orders which resulted in the Elder Wand killing Voldemort cause the Elder Wand doesnt kill its owner. The Elder Wand is a sensitive wand that responds on emotions and thoughts and gives you great power but it can also betray you and let you down as history proved it. The Elder Wand is a very special wand that can do more than an ordinary wand

[@aditis8260]

If Grindelvald stole the elder wand from gregorovitch's shop, he shouldn't have become the owner of the wand? Or did he disarm Gregorovitch and became its owner??

[@w.c2255]

Yes he stunned him with stupify and then disarmed him. Grindelwald figured out Disarming the owner will result in wand to switch alliance. So yes Grindelwald did became the owner but how he knew how to do it lets me think Gregorovitch must of known first before him or he figured it out himself through his knowledge.

[@DaegdaGames]

I've been thinking about the assumption Harry made about the wand losing it's power. See we've established that defeating (even by disarming) is enough to gain the power of the elder wand yeah? Harry never actually did that while the elder wand present so, how DID the wand know Draco had been defeated? Also if it's that easy and the wand owner just has to suffer defeat even while the elder wand isn't even present. Then If Harry puts the wand back in Dumbledore's tomb and his assumption is that "as long as he is never defeated" .... There were presumably hundreds of people in the great hall when Harry told Voldemort he was the true owner of the elder wand. So the story expects me to believe that Harry throughout his entire life both being a target for dark wizards (since he became an auror) as well as because he was the chosen one. No one defeated him? Even the people that were in the great hall that day? I feel like this is a giant plot hole. Also if The Cursed Child is indeed canon, then that means it would have been way easier to go back in time and defeat harry, taking the power of the elder wand away from him in that final duel.

[@w.c2255]

There are 4 ways to gain ownership of the Elder Wand. 1.) Killing the owner will allow ownership to switch. 2.) Disarming the owner without killing him lets ownership switch. 3.) Taking wand by mere force such as grabbing or struggling it out of someone's hand lets ownership switch. 4.) Killing the user, Disarming or taking his wand by mere force. If the user didn't use Elder Wand but his own wand and these stuff happened to him the alliance still switched cause the Elder Wand feels ownership and knows when his master is defeated. Unlike any other wand the Elder Wand is more sensitive and therefore knows what the owner wants and thinks and if another person takes wand but he isn't the owner the wand will refuse to do what the person does and can't cast powerful spells a normal wand would have done.Voldemort had to force the wand with his power to cast a powerful spell while it resisted him and the wand started to crack at the side. Therefore trying to kill the owner of the Elder Wand with the wand will result in that the wand will kill you cause the spell will backfire. As for Delphini I am not sure what happen in Cursed Child cause I have not readed the book. I have only heard certain things about it.

[@ilyandhi4791]

Been re-read and re-watch deathly hollows, and a question appears about elder wand owner. The wand belong to Dumbledore right? Dumbledore, loses possession of the Elder Wand after being successfully struck by Draco’s disarming spell. And the wand ownership belong to Draco. Harry Potter becomes Elder Wand owners after physically overpowering Malfoy at the Malfoy Manor. According the story, This is what made Voldermort never truly own the wand, even by killing Snape, who he think was the true owner because Snape killed Dumbledore. Now my confussion start here. On the story. Harry come to Voldermort in the forbiden forrest, and Voldermort 'killed' Harry. Doesn't that made Voldermont indeed become the elder wand owner by killing Harry?

[@wintertrooper7918]

Because Harry was a hocrux at the time of voldermort "killing" him it's considered something of a mulligan due to Harry being the true owner at that time and the wand can not truly kill its own true owner

[@tpglogin7410]

Happiness noises

[@gavelston3943]

Doesn’t make sense to me that everyone in the timeline Harry’s time at hogwarts is so convinced that the previous master of the Elder Wand has to be killed. Grindelwald didn’t kill Gregorovitch, and I would go out on a limb here in guessing Grindelwald wouldn’t have mind killing to gain such power, so.... why didn’t he? Plot convenience? And it’s proven again when Dumbledore beats, imprisons, and very noticeably DOESN’T KILL Grindelwald. Why would anyone who believes in the “defeat by death leads to a new master” even look at Dumbledore? They should’ve been looking to kill Gregorovitch like Voldy did. But even that wouldn’t have worked if Gregorovitch had not murdered the owner before himself. I don’t know, seems like too wishy washy of a situation for all these powerful, intelligent, logical wizards. I bet Hermione and McGonagall are just silently shaking their heads over in the corner.

[@gavelston3943]

@@ashwinsmagicandcardistry yeah, I know, but what I’m saying is why is that such a common misconception in the wizarding world when there was SO much evidence that that wasn’t the case? Lol

[@gavelston3943]

@@ashwinsmagicandcardistry No, I’m very aware of the story, the lore and the actual history behind the wand and I understand the mystique that the majority of the wizarding world views the “fairy tale” version of the wand, but what I’m saying is that logical witches and wizards who have traced the history of it should have easily seen enough evidence that the wand didn’t need to pass hands by death. The simple fact that Dumbledore beat Grindelwald without killing him should’ve given Voldemort enough pause to wonder if the wand’s power was legitimate since it didn’t pass in the “traditional” way.

[@moeykrimz2107]

Voldemort tracked and forced info out of gregorovitch. Then took some time to find out that the boy was grindlewald. Meaning the knowledge of wizards who traced the elderwand stops at gregorovitch boasts of owning it. Grindlewald and dumbledore were a missing gap until voldemort and harry figured it out

[@gavelston3943]

@@moeykrimz2107 right, but people who still wanted the Elder Wand would be flocking in droves to Gregorovich and trying to kill him to gain its power. If he lived that long after it was stolen, then either A) he had to have made a public announcement to stop the flow of aspiring Masters from constantly trying to attack him, or B) it would’ve been fairly common knowledge amongst the Elder Wand seekers that it had passed on from him, and people would’ve changed gears to looking for a seemingly undefeated, extremely powerful witch or wizard. The only two people who would’ve come close to that type of power, renown and recognition in that time frame were Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so everyone who had correctly traced the Elder Wand to Gregorovitch would’ve quickly found out that he didn’t have it and would assume that the wand must be in the hands of one of the two most powerful wizards of the day.

[@w.c2255]

During the ages the wizards killed each other and then it was interpretated that killing the wizard the wand changes alliance but Gregorovitch got the wand somehow. I believe Gregorovitch was the first person to realize the wand changes alliance on disarming the previous owner and it would of made sense cause he studied wands. Grindelwald I know and it was confirmed that his knowledge of magic was very good and he figured out the wand changes alliance upon disarming the owner and tracked the wand to Gregorovitch. Thats why he disarmed him rather than killing him but I do not think Grindelwald knew Gregorovitch knew and I believe that's what of might helped Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald. We know Dumbledore is very smart but he wasn't told how the wand changes alliance other than story so he might of went to Gregorovitch to figure out if there is any other way cause killing Grindelwald I think Dumbledore didn't want to do. As for why Grindelwald didn't kill Gregorvitch and why Dumbledore did not kill Grindelwald I believe was plot convenience and as well as why should they kill them. Dumbledore we know hate killing and Grindelwald probably didn't kill Gregorovitch as spare him. The question however remains who had the wand before Gregorovitch and how did Gregorovitch meet him. I believe Hogwarts legacy the game might tie in a knot how Gregorovitch got the wand. Perhaps in the game you get the wand and the story progresses through that way, its just speculation on my behalf.
