"Because Wandlore is a very complex study it really takes years of practicing before a person can become a wand maker."

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?"

Hmm, so apparently Professor Scabior would rather we be concise, and not give as much information as we know, Stella thought, as he'd responded to all their suggestions regarding the most recent questions asked. 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.
