And now he was done talking about the killing curse. Really...it had just been a lead to his major point and some students looked like they were ready to make a run for it. "What do you lot know about wands?"
Scott's hand shot into the air once again.
"Sir, non-human beings, such as goblins and house-elves, are not allowed to own or use wands" How unfair. Quote:

Scott raised his hand again.
"Wandlore would be the branch of magic that studies wands" Good thing some of his friends wanted to study wands, otherwise he wouldn't have a clue what is was.
"As others have said, Jimmy Kiddell had a wand-making in Diagon Alley" Who was the other one?
"It is also possible that, if the legend of the Peverell brothers was untrue, then Antioch Peverell could have been a particularly skilled wand maker" Quote:

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?"
Scott raised his hand into the air, he was doing this so much that it didn't ache anymore.
"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"
