"As most of you have noted the core is the actual part of the wand that channels our magic. When you do a spell, the magical energy is projected through the core and out the wand. This works because cores are from magical creatures. In essence..the core is basically what makes the wand chose the wizard because it is the magical part of the wand" It probably was a mixture of the core and the charms put on the wand but...he would leave it at that. Cores were much easier to explain than the lengths.
"As I said before the most popular cores because of the Ollivanders are phoenix feathers, unicorn hairs, and dragon heartstrings. These are not the only cores but they have been made popular because The Ollivanders have found that these three tend to channel magic better and therefore results in using the wizard's full magical potential."
"Who knows anything about the wand woods?" He looked around. Really, the core was the easiest thing to explain and the woods sat somewhere in the middle.
Of course there was hope for Tori Bunbury. She was a BUNBURY, after all, and was therefore going to become a History of Magic genius, just like her cousin-in-law. Tutttt.
"Well there's lots of types of wand woods," Tori answered slowly. "Like... oak, mahogony, zebrawood... and wand trees are often inhabited by those little woodlice eaters... um... bowtruckles?"
Yeahhhhh.
