None of the primary writers has major experience in the Wand-Making industry, so the following texts have been written by one of the many Sub-Authors, named Elania Blackthorn, who does have many years of experience with wand-making.

The core of a wand is a magical substance that was placed inside the wood. These materials are usually extracted from magical creatures, although some wands have been created from non-bestial substances. The core of a wand enhances the wand’s magical capability or even special abilities. 

Although there are hundreds of thousands of different wand cores, certain Wandmakers, like Garrick Ollivander, prefer certain cores over others. Garrick Ollivander discovered what is commonly known as “Supreme Cores” - Unicorn Tail Hair, Dragon Heartstring, and Pheonix Feathers. 

While I agree with the notion of the three Supreme Cores, I believe that a talented wandmaker should never be restricted to such a minuscule number of cores. I use just about every core that I have information over. I’ve made wands with Thestral Hair, Kneazle Whiskers, Fairy Wings… Well, like I said, I work with any core.
