J. K. Rowling has discussed how the Elder Wand behaves slightly different from other wands in its loyalty: Take home Professor Albus Dumbledore’s famous wand, also known as the Elder Wand. Stay loyal to one of Hogwarts’ most famous Headmaster’s with this replica wand.
It is unknown what happened to this wand after this point but it is possible he stored it in his office in the Hogwarts Castle.The Elder Wand is said to be created by Death and is one-third of the Deathly Hallows. The other two items that make up the trio are the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility. The first user of the wand, according to The Tale of the Three Brothers, was Antioch Peverell. His reason for obtaining the wand was because he requested of Death a gift worthy of someone who had outsmarted the entity.
This was inserted with CGI and re-shoots to replace the original wand used during the making of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald that J. K. Rowling noted looked too much like the Elder Wand. [4] However, in the scene where Dumbledore looks in the Mirror of Erised and sees his younger self with a younger Grindelwald creating their blood pact, he still uses his original wand to slice his hand.As Dumbledore stated in Tales of Beedle the Bard, ‘Those who are knowledgeable about wandlore will agree that wands do indeed absorb the expertise of those who use them.’ With the volume of dark deeds attributed to the Elder Wand, that is a terrifying thought. Only men have claimed ownership, as far as we know By the time DD heard the prophecy from Trelawney, he was using the Elder wand, so when he found out Harry was the chosen one, he might have given his old wand to Ollivander, knowing that the connection between LV and Harry would make the wand choose him and giving him a powerfull weapon against LV because of the twin cores. The rune on the wand's handle is either a Dagaz rune or an upright and a reversed Ehwas rune combined. The Dagaz rune signifies day or daylight, light winning out over dark, and the end of dark times. The Ehwas rune signifies change for the better and harmony. A reversed Ehwas warns of disharmony and the necessity to take action to promote positive change.
When Albus Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945, mastery of the Elder Wand passed to him. [15] Under his ownership, the wand was largely used for good, unlike many of its former masters. Dumbledore performed great magic with this wand, furthering his reputation as the world's most powerful wizard. Among that magic was the ability to produce Gubraithian Fire, a flame which has been enchanted to burn forever without dying. It is quite an advanced piece of magic, as few wizards were capable of it. Dumbledore provided Rubeus Hagrid with a branch of this fire as a diplomatic gift for the giants. When DD tells Harry that his wand only has extraordinary powers against LV's wand and that against all other wands it's just an ordinary one, he adds: "Though it's a fine wand, I'm sure." Now that can be taken as just an afterthought because he is afraid he has hurt Harry's feelings, but it could also be that DD in fact 'is sure' it is a fine wand, because it used to be his. It was suggested that even if Voldemort was aware of the Deathly Hallows, only the Elder Wand would pique his interest. Mr Ollivander’s famous statement ‘the wand chooses the wizard’ rings just as true for the Elder Wand as any other. However, according to J.K. Rowling, there are some distinct tendencies in its manner of choosing: ‘The Elder Wand knows no loyalty except to strength. So it’s completely unsentimental. It will only go where the power is.’ It has never been clearly defined what it means when it is said that the Elder Wand's power will break if its current master dies a natural death. It could mean that its powers would be diminished to the point of it becoming a regular wand, or it could mean its powers being utterly obliterated, as it is known to happen to some wands.Despite its legendary reputation and immense ability, the Elder Wand was an unassuming object. Appearing at face value to be a wand like any other, it had a smooth, unadorned shaft and a handle formed from two conjoined spheres. After his falling out with Dumbledore, Grindelwald delved into his research of the Deathly Hallows and uncovered the location of the Elder Wand. Rumours had been circulating that the renowned wandmaker Gregorovitch had the wand and was trying to duplicate its properties. Grindelwald broke into the wandmaker's workshop, and succeeded in claiming ownership of the fabled wand by waiting until Gregorovitch came and then casting a stunning spell at him, making himself the rightful owner.
