Since its release in the late 1990s, Harry Potter has been a worldwide phenomenon spawning eight mainstream films, many novels, a spinoff series and a whole section of Universal Studios in Florida. The series, written by J. K. Rowling, remains a favorite of many fans even over a decade after it ended. It details the story of Harry Potter, a boy who finds out he's a wizard at 11 years old and goes to Hogwarts to learn to use magic.

In the Harry Potter universe, most wizards have to channel their magic through their wands. Most of the wands in the series are created by Ollivander, a wandmaker in Diagon Alley. Each one is unique, with different lengths, various types of woods and cores coming from several magical creatures. Take this quiz to find out whose wand you would have, but remember, the wand chooses the wizard.

Fun Facts

Did you know that the wands that Harry, Hermione and Ron use have a secret connection? After creating Harry's wand, J. K. Rowling realized that the wood used for it, holly, has a Celtic association with his birthday. Rowling then decided to give Hermione's and Ron's wands Celtic backgrounds as well. She kept this bit of information to herself for years until she revealed it in an interview.

Birthdays aren't the only meaning that wand wood has in the series. Holly, the wood used for Harry's wand, is often associated with protection and those who have struggled with overcoming anger in their lives. It is also said to repel evil. The wood used for Voldemort's wand, yew, often symbolizes resurrection. Yew trees are also known for outstanding longevity.
