Pear -


Pear wood produces wands with splendid and powerful magical abilities when partnered with someone who is kind, giving, and wise. Those who own a pear wand are often popular and respected by others. There is no record of a pear wand being found in the possession of a Dark witch or wizard. These wands are highly resilient and have the ability to maintain their appearance of newness, even after many years of heavy use. Due to their durability and strength, pear wands are sought after by witches and wizards who are looking for a wand that will stand the test of time and be a reliable partner in their magical endeavours.


Pine 


Pine wands choose individuals who are independent and unique and may be viewed as loners or mysterious. These wands thrive on creativity, and they are adaptable to new methods and spells. Pine wands have a reputation for pairing with people who are destined for long lives, and many wandmakers believe they can detect this. The pine wand is highly focused on non-verbal magic, which makes it particularly effective in situations that require precision and focus. These wands are also known for their high compatibility with nature, which makes them popular among witches and wizards who work in the natural world or who have strong connections to the elements.


Poplar 


Poplar wands are highly respected for their reliability, strength, and consistent power, especially for those who are confident and principled. While the stereotype suggests that poplar wands are unable to be wielded by politicians, this is actually not true - two accomplished Ministers of Magic owned poplar wands.


Red Oak 


It is a misconception that the red oak wand signifies a hot-tempered owner. However, the true red oak wand pairing is with those who possess lightning-fast reflexes and are quick to adapt to situations. These individuals are often known to create distinctive, signature spells and are an asset to have at one's side in a battle.


Redwood 


Despite the rarity of redwood wands, they are in demand due to their reputation for bringing good luck to their owner. However, it is not the wand that holds the power of good fortune. Rather, the wand is drawn to witches and wizards who have the admirable ability to handle any situation, adapt to changes, and find advantages in unfortunate circumstances. Such individuals paired with redwood wands often make for fascinating and intriguing pairings.


Rowan 


The rowan wood wand has been a preferred choice for many due to its reputation of offering superior protection and amplifying defensive charms. In fact, it is often stated that a dark witch or wizard has never possessed a rowan wand, and historically, they have been used for good. These wands are often matched with those who possess a clear mind and a pure heart, but they are never underestimated in duels and can outperform other wands even when up against the odds.


Silver Lime 


The silver lime wand was highly desired during the 19th century, with demand outweighing supply in the market. Unfortunately, many merchants took advantage of this, dyeing subpar wood to imitate the real thing. The desire for this wand stemmed from its attractive appearance as well as its reputation for performing well for Seers and Legilimency practitioners, individuals with exceptional powers in two mysterious arts. As a result, owning a silver lime wand granted owners significant status, making it an enviable possession to have.


Spruce 


Despite some wandmakers deeming spruce as a challenging wood to work with, it requires a skilled and adept individual to harness its true power. This particular wand is not suited for individuals with cautious or nervous natures and can be hazardous in the wrong hands. However, when paired with a bold and confident mage, a spruce wand becomes a dependable ally, fiercely loyal to its owner and capable of producing visually captivating spells. This wand demands a firm grip, but its willingness to go above and beyond to fulfil its purpose makes it a fantastic asset for any seasoned wizard or witch.


Sycamore 


The sycamore wand is a unique and inquisitive wand that desires adventure and new experiences. However, it can lose its lustre if used for mundane tasks and often breaks when its owner settles down into middle age. This quirk of the sycamore wand is a fascinating characteristic but must be accounted for by its ideal owner, someone who shares similar qualities of being curious, vital, and adventurous. In the hands of such a person, the sycamore wand showcases a remarkable ability to adapt and learn, making it a desirable wand material for those who seek to take on new challenges and explore the world.


Vine 


Vinewood is traditionally associated with the ancient druids, and its magical properties make it a unique and special material for wands. Vine wands are highly sought after by those seeking a greater purpose and those with hidden depths. These wands are known for being sensitive and capable of detecting a good match for their owner. It is said that these wands can even emit magical effects when a suitable owner enters the room.


Walnut 


Walnut wands are highly sought after by intelligent witches and wizards, as they often find their ideal match when paired with such a wand. This versatile material is often seen in the hands of magical innovators and inventors. While these wands can be very powerful, it is important to be cautious of their potential danger when used by those who lack morality. The wand and the wizard may "feed off of each other" in a harmful way, creating a very dangerous situation.


Willow 


Willow is a unique wand material with healing powers. Its ideal owner is often someone who has unearned insecurities and tries to hide them. Willow wands are attractive and have a good reputation for enabling advanced, non-verbal magic. However, Willow Wands consistently chooses those with the most potential, rather than those who feel they have little to learn.


Yew



The yew wand is a rare type and its ideal owners are often considered unusual. This wand holds a dark and formidable reputation for the bestowal of life and death, but it's not true that those who choose this wand are automatically attracted to the Dark Arts. In fact, many heroic witches and wizards have utilized yew wands for good. Those who are best suited to this wand are often fierce protectors of others. When a witch or wizard is buried with a yew wand, a tree often sprouts above the grave in their honour. The yew wand is not for mediocre or timid owners, but only for those who have courage and passion.
