"That's why they're measured when purchased." "Not exactly, but that's a good guess." It was the guess that did make the most sense after all. Quote:

Longer wands seem to pick those with bigger personalities, when as short wands seen to pick those that seem to be lacking something."
Scabior nodded. "Yes correct. That is one of the most common reasons as to why a person would receive a certain wand length. " Quote:

Hmm.. different lengths for wands. Raising her hand she answered, "Sir, when we attended the dueling club last month, the mister from the ministry..." whom she'd forgotten his name. Ouch. "..said something about wands' properties being determined by some factors and the length of the wand was one." SO if it was right then Kudos to the small man, if not... Louisa was going to start questioning ministry employees education. Hadn't he JUST said this? Or maybe not?"Yes. The length is one of the factors that determines the properties of to the wand. The wand core, and the wand wood being the other two factors." Quote:

Once again, she'd know there were other wandmakers out there, but it seemed nobody remembered their names, so her suggestiong them was kind of irrelevant anyhow. But, as they moved on to another aspect of wandlore, she raised her hand yet again. "Wands choose their owners based on personality, and the length of the wand usually is another aspect by which the wand is deemed appropriate, and wand lengths also could balance out all the other characteristics of a certain wand," she stated, trying her hardest not to say too much. If that was how to earn more points, she was determined to do so. "Yes correct." He nodded. Quote:

The more powerful a wizard, the longer their wand." Made sense to her! "No. No. It has nothing to do with power. Everyone gets their wands at 11 years old and I doubt one 11 year old is more powerful than another" Scabior shook his head. No. That simply was not how it worked Quote:
Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Before Kurumi could answer, her mind began to wander a bit more.

After all, her current height and arm length was much different from her eleven year old self and whatever balance there had been back then, well, those numbers couldn't possibly be resonating in harmony right now, could they?
Slowly, Kurumi raised her hand. "Perhaps the power or potential power that a particular wand possesses is also associated with its length?" she asked, trying to think of another way to look at it since the first two ideas had been said already. The Elder Wand is said to be fifteen inches long, and that length doesn't change depending on its master's arm length or height or personality and is THE strongest wand in the wizarding world.
Wandlore was certainly going to be a complicated thing to understand. A witch or wizard was measured once for a wand, right? And you stayed with that wand forever. This thought confused her greatly. Did wands have the ability to know what their masters would look like in the future? "I doubt it." Dash said shaking his head. "Many of powerful people have had short wands. But you have brought up a good point. Is it the wand that holds the power or the wizard." Quote:
Originally Posted by Bubbles Kennedy raised his hand again. "As far as I know, wands tend to be as long or short according to a person's height, but others have argued that it has to do with one's personality and their way of style of magic," he said. Kennedy had read about wands before he got his own. "The persons height has a very small factor to the actual length of the wand." Quote:
Originally Posted by hjhm Jonathan has no ideas why wands have different lengths. It could mean a lot of thing to a wand maker but, he's no wand maker. Take for example his wand, it is 11 inches long but some people had 10 inches below or 11 inches more. So what did that all mean.
Jonathan crossed his arms and bit his lower lip. Then he looked at his arm. ARM. It could be one of the reasons why when he first got his wand at Ollivanders, the wand maker had to measure up every first year before giving their wands. It should be one of the reasons right? Jonathan raised his hand "The length of the wand depends on the length of the wizard or witch as well?" he answered. Length of the wizard or witch? He raised a brow."Not quite sure what you mean by that." Scabior said slowly. Quote:
Originally Posted by GinnyFan Chris thought for a while before answering, "Perhaps the lengths are based on the mathematical calculations of the lengths of the different parts of a wizards body?" Chris thought that was a decent answer, and he hoped the Professor thought so too. "Why else would Mr. Ollivander have measured the length of our arms, and other things? Why wouldn't he just measure our height?" "Well it's not mathematical. Wizards generally don't work in that sense." He chuckled. "But it does have to so with another measurement other than your height." Quote:
Originally Posted by mellamaet She couldn't believe she wasn't able to answer the previous questions! They has been really easy too! If only she could have answered sooner...oh well, she wasn't giving up that easily!
Cass' hand flew up and she answered "A wand's length is usually based on the person's height. After all, it would look pretty weird if it's length wasn't proportional to it's owner." But she always did wonder about one thing, so she tentatively asked "Professor, how does the measuring tape at Olivander's know how tall we're going to get? I mean, if it's based on our height, that wouldn't it mean that we might someday outgrow our wands because they were bought way back when we we're 11..." Surely people don't stay the same height forever? and well, she has grown a few inches since she was 11 years old, and she was pretty sure that she still has a long way to grow. Will her wand ever get too small for her? "A wizards height is a very small contribution to the wand length." Very. Very small. "Which is why the measuring tape also measures other stuff and does not solely base your wand on your hight so you do not outgrow your wand." Hopefully that answered her question. Quote:
Originally Posted by HazelStone101 "Perhaps the reason why certain wands have certain lengths is because they are made to fit both the size and shape of the wizard or witch it was intended for?" Jayden answered, drumming her fingers on her desk lazily. "That is correct. Designed to fit that wizard or witch." He nodded. Quote:

Even though, we were measured at Ollivander's, I don't think that it has anything to do with the person's size that determines the length of the wand. Most people get measured for their wands when they are children. But they don't remain that height and size forever. They will eventually grow up to the size they are supposed to be. So unless the wand is able to predict the future and know what size and height I'm going to be, I don't think that the size of the person matters."
"Although it would be kind of funny see a very large person carry a very short wand."Alyssa thought to herself.
Then Alyssa thought of something. She raised her hand again. "So why do they measure us, Professor?"
"You heard right. Some large wands tend to go with people with large personalities and same with short wands however this is not always the case. Also, height does play a small factor." Very, very small. Like he had said before. "And you are measured when you get your wand so the wand maker is able to get an idea of how tall you might be and also your forearm measurements." Quote:
Originally Posted by Jezabel Black Jez raised her hand. Wand lengths. Hmm. "Well, it's always good to have a wand that fits you - like having a robe whose helm doesn't trip you up.

"Some people believe it's the characteristics of the person the wand choses that governs its length, but unless all wands and wandmakers have psychic abilities, it seems a pretty slim prospect to me." "Yes. As the wand is the one that choses it's owner, generally it picks someone that will fit it as well. Characteristics play a part as well." He didn't know everything about wands but he knew enough. Quote:

"If I'm not mistaken, the length is adjusted by the owner's height. If the owner is taller than other wizard in their same age, the wand is longer. But if the wizard is shorter than others in their same age, it would be.. shorter." "Not exactly. Wands are not at all adjusted for the owners height. You might be 4 foot tall and have a 13 inch wand." Though, it was highly unlikely. Quote:

"Professor does the length of the wand have something to do with the owners personality or the persons success as a wizard maybe." She wasn't to sure not knowing much about the wizarding world, but she knew wands picked the wizard so maybe the longer the wand the better the wizard.. He sighed. "Personality yes, but successes? No. You can not simply base a persons success on their wands and we'll go over that." Quote:

"Maybe the length of a wand is proportional to the height of a wizard or like the length of their forearm or something? They DO take all your measurements at Ollivander's." Surely that tape measure served some sort of purpose other than to occupy the customers while they waited.
"Yes! Height and forearm measurements together have a lot to do with the wand length however they are not the only factors. " Good guess, good guess. Quote:
Originally Posted by Dan and Emma<3 Why certain wands have certain lengths? Tiffany thought for a while and decided to make a guess. She raised her hand."Professor, would the length of a wand be related to a person's height and also his or her arm's length?"she replied politely. It sounded more like a question than an answer though but anyway. Tiffany sat down and waited. "Exactly. Forearm length and the height. Both important factors." He nodded. Quote:

After spending a few moments looking around the classroom and trying to come up with a clever way to cheat off some Ravenclaw, Sierra decided to raise her hand and attempt an answer.
Ha.
Attempt. "Maybe it has something to do with a person's power," she suggested. Right. She was a Slytherin. Power was what she'd been born to think about. "Maybe if they have less power, they need a longer wand to make up for what they lack; but maybe if they already possess more than the normal amount of power, they need a smaller wand to keep their magic under control."
Shrug. Sounded good to her. Sigh. AGAIN."No Miss Greingoth, not exactly. But don't be discouraged we will go over that." The idea of a wizard's power that is. Quote:
Originally Posted by Granger1814 Slightly feeling better at the professor's response to her answer, Kourtney thought carefully about the reason behind certain lengths of wands. There just had to be a reason. Just like there was a reason behind the core and the wood of the wand. But what could it be....? It could have to do with the measurements of the wizard itself, but that wouldn't really make sense considering the height/weight of a wizard changes often.
She definitely thought it could do with the personality of the wizard, as others had suggested. She raised her hand again. "Numbers...can have magical properties in themselves, so I think the length of the wand is associated with a person's personality or potential as a wizard. For example, in many cultures, the number 13 is associated with evil or an omen of misfortunate, so it would stand to believe that an especially dark wizard may be in possession of such a wand." Oh. He had not even thought of the! "Perhaps! That could very well explain everything about wand lengths however sadly I do not know everything there is to know about Wandlore so I can not tell you if you are right or not. But very good thinking." Quote:

"That's not exactly correct." He shook his head. Quote:

Proud of her answer, Elise put her hand down. "Yes, good job." Scabior gave a small smile. Quote:

And maybe this was one of the reasons why wands chose the wizards and witches, and not vice versa? "Good guess but no. Wizards tend to get their wands at age 11. And I am pretty sure that their size changes over the course of their lifetime so if that was the cast then every time their size changed they would have to get a new wand." That would be a waste really. Quote:
Originally Posted by nups21 Ira raised her hand up and answered, "Usually, the wand lengths are proportional to the owner's height..." At least this was what she was told when she had shopped for her wand. "But Sir, how can this be true? I mean, the person's height will increase, so how does the wand still be used?"
And, length can't be only decided by the physical traits of the owner right? There have been instances where a short wizard has a long wand or vice-versa..So there must be another criteria!
Ira answered, "Maybe the length of the wand also depends on the wood used and the core inside? And also maybe different lengths show different properties or strengths of the skill of the wand which are suitable to its owner." "The wizard's height plays a factor, which is why if the wizard grows they do not outgrow the wand because other things also play a factor as well. However the wood and core haven't been know to really have anything to do with the length of the wand." Did that make sense? Quote:
Originally Posted by McFeisty India thought for a minute. Wand lengths?
Raising her hand the quiet-as-a-mouse girl finally spoke.
"Well, I know for me and most of my family the wand length is directly proportionate to the length of the forearm. Actually - it was the same length." She admitted with a shy smile. "I know the wood of wands are sometimes based off the month in which the witch or wizard is born."
Certain wands have certain lengths. "Could the length also be proportionate to the core itself - seeing as some cores have more power and need more 'charge' time or space to hold the power...and other wands have weaker power compared to those wands. Like the Elder wand - it was about 15 inches long...or so I heard" Who had asked about the wood? Not him. Scabior made a face. He hated when people got to carried away. "It hasn't been know to be proportionate to the core no. But forearm length does play a part." He said stiffly. Quote:
Originally Posted by luna-p Ashley had no idea why wands had certain lengths. He just knew that it was important somehow. It had to be, or else they would all be the same length, right? Still, he raised his hand, still having not gotten the hang of fully forming thoughts before trying to share them.
"Wands have certain lengths... to... match the wizard or witch they go with? I guess because, for example, a small person would feel weird holding a super long wand, so it would be awkward to use and the magic wouldn't come out right, so the wands have to be different lengths to feel comfortable for each person..."
It sounded good to him. Not right. But good. "It woud be awkward. But some small wizards do in fact have long wands." He shrugged. Quote:
Originally Posted by pinkphoenix Orr listened to the others' answers and was truly intrigued by the answers being a muggleborn and a first year, she didn't know a lot of these things.
But wand length? She did know that didn't she?
Orr raised her hand, "It is of course indicative of the person's arm length like a lot of people have already said but perhaps it also indicates how well the magic flows from the person through the wand and as such different lengths alongside the wizards allow for a better conductor?" "That is a good guess. However I doubt it. The magic flows if the wand is small or not." Good guess though. Quote:
Originally Posted by Jason Potter Weasley William raised his hand. " The length of wand is determined by your height" William said to the professor. "Height plays a factor." It wasn't completely determined by the height. Quote:

"Although perhaps not the most important factor; when buying a wand, the customer is measured, and I believe the wand-maker takes into account certain measurements which is reflected in the length of the wand" Scabior tapped his hand against his desk."You are correct. Those factors are taken into account" Quote:

Thea lowered her hand, chewing her lip. Had she worded that correctly? Maybe the professor would know what she meant, like the last answer she had given. "It has to do with the person the wand chooses however what they actually will be good at? I think that is unknown." At least by people like him and not wand makers. Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Jory raised his hands. "Wand lengths vary because of the different lengths of a witch or wizards arms.

"Again, the wand length might not have anything to do with what subject they would be good at." Not the wand length only. Quote:

Ack! That sounded dumb!?
However, after a while she remembered something Ari had told her. Raising her hand, the girl went on talking: 'It also depends on the personality! Longer wands... bigger personality...' Hopefully this is right... He was about the sigh again before the girl continued to talk"Yes...personality plays a part." That was better. Quote:

Totally. "Yes, you are right. Wand lengths do have to be different or loads of people would have the same wand." Just imagine... Quote:

It did. Quote:

She was just guessing. What would a first year muggleborn know about wandlore? "I think the wood and the core more so reflect the types of magic you are best at..but I am unsure of that so you might be right." Scabior felt no shame at all in admitting that he didn't know something. It was impossible for him to know everything. Quote:
Originally Posted by hpluvr037 Well, there was the obvious answer, but he may as well give it. He raised his hand and waited for the Professor to acknowledge him.
"Sir, I know this seems rather trivial, but I suppose one reason for different wand lengths is simply because the wand cores must come in differing lengths. Surely a heart string from a very large dragon would be longer than that of a younger dragon? And phoenix feathers would be shorter if plucked shortly after a Burning Day. Unicorn tails are sure to be different lengths as well. So a longer core requires a longer wood casing."
Well, that's not what the Professor was looking for, but someone had to point it out. "That could be a factor. But I really do doubt it. Wandmakers might just cut the cores...you never know." Scabior shrugged. Quote:
Originally Posted by The1HBIC Oh, this was an answer Marie knew. She remembered it from when she got her wand. She wanted to know why that measuring tape thing had to take her measurements so she had asked. Raising her hand she blurted out... "Sir, the length of the wand relates to three things. The height of the wizard, the length of their forearm, and the balance of the wand. For the most part, a wand is the length of the witch or wizard's forearm, measured from elbow to wrist. And the balance refers to the magical balance meaning the relationship between the core, the wood and the quality rather than balance in a literal sense." Putting her hand down she smiled a bit. Who would have guessed that something she asked almost seven years ago was going to be an answer in a History of Magic class. Pause. Dash turned his head, staring at the Slytherin girl for a few seconds before finally opening his mouth."Yes...yes Miss Salazar...you are correct." He nodded, still slight surprised. Quote:

But anyway.
Why did certain wands have certain lengths?
She thought for a moment before raising her hand. "People aren't all the exact same height or size, so the wands shouldn't be either. It's not really a 'one size fits all' type of thing." And that was why there were different cores and woods too. Wouldn't it be weird if everyone had the exact same wand? It'd be boring, really. "That is correct, yes." The simplest answer really. Quote:

At which point they still had the potential to grow much taller. Everyone was answering wrong, and Presley had been on the verge of doing so herself. However, she didn't know the correct answer. She she put her hand back up, this time to ask a question. She repeated her thoughts almost exactly. "But professor, it can't be the size of the person at the time they get thier wands. Most people get a wand at age eleven. They are still going to grow much taller at that point. So if it was the size of the person that mattered, all adults would have undersized wands, correct? So the length has to do with something else, but I'm not sure what." If only she'd known the correct answer, then her response would have been much more impressive. But she had no idea what it could deal with if it wasn't size, and Presley was convinced that it definitely wasn't size. Blink. "I would prefer if you wouldn't tell me what something cannot be Miss Black. After all I am pretty sure that you are not experienced in Wandlore." He hadn't asked for negative comments or people telling him what it COULDN'T be. He has only asked what they thought it COULD be. Quote:

"It has nothing to do with age, but height does play a small factor." He nodded. Quote:

Victoria didn't have to think long before raising her hand, "Isn't that why they measure you for?" said Victoria, half asking and half making a statement. "They meausre your arm, your height to see which wand length will fit you best. You shouldn't have a half giant getting a wand that's only seven inches. And you shouldn't have someone who's four feet high getting a sixteen inches wand. Basically, the length of the wand helps you get the right flexibility." said Victoria as she thought about the little annoying floating tape measures. Merlin's Beard, were they were annoying! He blinked, completely distracted by her example."And where would you even see a half giant?" He raised a brow. REALLY now, normal examples could do. ------------------- Scabior cleared his throat. Ready to go into full on lecture mode. Hopefully no one was sleeping at the moment? "So, wand lengths range, they can be as short as 8 inches, or as long as 16 inches." Yes. A 16 inch wand. "They also increase or decrease in values of 1/4 an inch." Got it? Yeah. "Anyways, their are three basic factors if you will, that the wand length relates to. There can be more of course, however these are the most basic ones that the foundations rest upon. The height of the wizard, the length of the forearm, and finally the wizard personality." Scabior pulled out his wand from it holster, and gave a flick toward the board, writing the four factors down before he held his wand up to show the class.
"My wand, right here is 10¾. Practical for me. For anyone else? Maybe not. Now, I can guarantee you that at 11 years old, when I got this wand, my forearm was not as long as this wand." No. And he was fairly normal for an 11 year ol. "And obviously I was not this tall." A six foot tall 11 year old? Yeah..right. "So you might be wondering what is the point then that my arm was measured then? Well the height and size of the wizard has a direct relationship with their perfect wand. The relationship is of a magical nature and more about finding the right balance of characteristics than a particular size of wand. So the measuring of the height and forearm and more about balance rather than about size." Was he making sense? Hopefully. All the points really did just tie together.
"Now, the actual magical balance of the wand. That is a little more difficult to understand but simply put it refers to balancing the relationship between the core, the wood and the quality." He wasn't going to linger on this. But he did expect everyone to write this down.
"And lastly, the wizard or witches' personality. Generally, if a person is outspoke, loud, and has a really big personality, their wand length will tend to be longer than others. And if they are more shy, quite, or even maybe missing something in their life, their wand will tend to have a shorter length." He looked around the class. Were you all writing? You better be. "However nothing is guaranteed. A person could very well have a big personality and a short wand, because that is just how the balance of the wand works." He was slightly worried that people would be confused. "Just remember height and forearm measurements are about finding balance, while your actual personality determines the length of the wand however these two might butt heads resulting in like a shorter wand for a more outspoke person."
Wand length? Check.
"Any questions so far?" He paused, waiting for a second as he looked around the room. The length was probably the most complicated part of the wand. "Anyone know the reason as to why we need a core for our wands?"
