'Wandlore, isn't it?' For a few days after buying his wand, Aaron had been convinced that he was going to be like Ollivander.
But then he went to school and realised that was way too difficult. Still, he remembered some useful facts.

"Yes! Correct Mr. Roberts. Wandlore it is."

For all he knew they were Olivanders as well just not the one mentioned by the man.

"That it would be." He nodded.

"Wandlore yes.." He nodded. "And you are absolutely correct. Jimmy Kiddell was another wand maker."

Especially as she didn't particularly recall the wandmaker back in Paris who she'd gotten her own wand from, so she didn't want to just make somebody up and hope that they somehow actually existed. The flip side of that was that she didn't want to just list every other Ollivander, either, since they wouldn't particularly be much different from the specific one he'd mentioned.

"Good. Simple and correct." That was how he liked his answers.

Oh!

Her hand shot into the air. "Wasn't there a wandmaker named Jimmy K..." Urgh, what was it? "...Kiddell?" She thought that was it.

For some reason when hands shot up, Scabior was amused. "Yes, Kiddell was one who used to operate in Diagon Alley."

"Jimmy Kiddell also makes wands and there are a number of other makers of wands that are outside of Britain."

He nodded. "Yes. There are many wand makers outside of Britian however it is very hard to get a following as a wand maker."

--------------

"So you few who answered were correct. Wandlore is the name of the branch of magic that studies wands. Jimmy Kiddell was also a known wand maker years ago. However his following wasn't quite as loyal as the Ollivanders so his shop-Jimmy Kiddell's Wonderful Wands- wasn't as popular and went out of business very quickly." Didn't it? He thought for a moment. Hm. He believed it did...and if it didn't..oh well!

"Because Wandlore is a very complex study it really takes years of practicing before a person can become a wand maker." And even then they needed some kind of following after or their business wouldn't last. "But the most notable ones are the Ollivanders. Who have left the idea that only phoenix feathers, unicorn hairs, and dragon heartstrings can be used as the core in wands. Which is not the case. They just happen to the cores that blend best with the woods to bring out the most power in any spell." So...technically they were he best things to use, but that didn't mean they were the ONLY cores. "A couple of students have also noted that when making wands, different types of woods can be used. And that is correct. I am pretty sure that any tree out there can be used to make a wand." Wood was wood. it didn't matter.

"Before we move on too much, does anyone have any idea why certain wands have certain lengths?"

EDIT: OOC: Alright guys! Taking a break. Class will continue again tomorrow at around 4pm EST.
