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

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

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.

Minerva was mad she missed the Wandlore question Rose was just talking about how she wanted to be one some day. She raised her hand for the next question though. "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..
