#43: Harry Potter: The Power of the Wands

There are a lot of fan theories about the Harry Potter series, which shows what an immense fanbase and cultural influence it had on us. In the Harry Potter universe, they make a big deal about wands and owners. When a young wizard gets ready to go off to school and start learning magic, they go to a wand maker and get matched with a wand that suits them perfectly. So what happens if someone uses a wand that isn’t suited to them?

… It doesn’t go well, usually. So that could explain why Ron and Neville both struggle with magic for much of the books: Ron has been using a hand-me-down wand, as his family can’t afford a new one, and Neville has been using his father’s.
