Harry Potter meme - day 05

[littlerunningbee]

A bit late today, but better late than never.
I watched Rio - the movie today and I have to admit that I immediately fell in love with Blu. He just reminded me so much of my budgie Dobby [the pet question is still to come, right :D]. Anyway, watch this film and enjoy a colourful journey to Rio :)

So - what is today's question?

Day 5 - What's your wand made of? What's the core.

Hm, it is not easy to find an answer for that since it actually should be the wand which choses the wizard and not the other way round. First of all - I'd really like to have a wand made by Ollivander. Somehow he's an inscrutable wizard but I am absolutely convinced of him as a wandmaker of genius. Since Ollivander does only use unicorn hair, dragonheart string and phoenix feathers for the core of his wands, there are only three possibilities for me.  I'd also like to have a hippogriff's feather as the core of my wand. But if I really had to chose between those three cores, I would probably pick the feather of a phoenix. I am just a big fan of birds and certainly a phoenix is [or rather would be]  the most beautiful and impressive bird ever. So this is the core. I guess my perfect wand would be made off cherry. I love the dark wood and the fragrance of cherry blossoms.
