Chapter 29: The Wand Chooses the Wizard
Garrick. Mr. Ollivander is the best wand maker in the wizarding world today, so not only English wizards, but also many foreigners will come to London to buy wands.
This is one of the reasons why the British wizarding community is able to stand at the top of the world.
The UK has the best wands and the best schools for magic and magic.
This is definitely not a joke, everyone knows the importance of magic school.
The extent to which a wizard can grow is affected not only by his own aptitude, but also by his education.
Especially when the qualifications of most ordinary wizards are not much different, the quality of education is particularly important.
And schools with high quality of education will definitely be able to cultivate more elite talents when the source of students is not much different.
Hogwarts is one such school.
Hogwarts is better than other schools of witchcraft and wizardry in terms of understanding and education about the basics of magic.
It has a longer history and stronger founders than any other school, which gives Hogwarts a richer knowledge of magic, especially the theory of magic, which no other school can match.
Therefore, in the teaching of Hogwarts, professors often systematically explain the theory of magic, especially in the sixth and seventh years, so although the students who come out of Hogwarts may not be the best at first, they tend to be more growing, they have mastered the theory of the system and can use it flexibly and even innovate magic.
This is something that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang can't match, as they tend to teach students more practical magic, so they often neglect to teach theory.
So it's hard for them to catch up with Hogwarts.
If you want to surpass Hogwarts, the most likely is actually the Ifamoni School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States.
Ifamoni's founder, Isolt. Thayer is a descendant of Slytherin and a Hogwarts graduate.
Not only did she inherit the magical knowledge of Slytherin, but she also copied a lot of magical materials from Hogwarts, plus a large amount of native magic in North America, so she was not much worse than Hogwarts in terms of knowledge.
Illuminoni is very similar to Hogwarts in terms of both the division and the teaching method, and as a young school of witchcraft and wizardry, Illuminion still has the spirit of innovation that Hogwarts lacks.
And because one of the founders of Ilphamoni was a Muggle, the wizards of Illuminion were the wizards most closely associated with Muggles, and the wizards who knew Muggles the most in the entire wizarding world.
As a result, the wizarding community in the United States as a whole is more receptive to Muggle inventions than Europe, and to reinvent itself in this way.
Because of the different attitudes towards Muggles, the entire wizarding community in the United States was ostracized by wizards in Europe and other countries.
While the wizarding community in the United States still adheres to the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, it is also true that they are too close to Muggles.
If the Weasleys are traitors to the British pure-blood family, then the American wizarding world is a traitor to the wizarding world of the world.
It's more or less the same.
And the wand is another factor in Britain's current world leadership.
Wizards can't cast spells without wands, and a wand that is more in tune with itself can obviously increase the power and success rate of spellcasting.
The most important thing is that the wands that fit are all chosen by wizards when they are young, and they can grow with wizards, and can also affect wizards' growth in turn.
It's like one person has been practicing with the tool at hand, and the other person has been practicing with the tool with the hand, and in the same situation, it must be that the first person will be able to master the next item faster.
Wandmakers in other countries apparently make wands that are as compatible with wizards as Ollivander is.
In such a situation, it must be that the wizards in England grow up faster.
This also brings to mind the importance of Ollivanders to the British wizarding community.
Like Voldemort, he directly took people away, forced them to force, and even used the Mind Drill Charm to make them obey, which is something that only a lot of brainless fans would do! Voldemort, in particular, is also the leader of a faction.
It would be impossible for such a leader to succeed, even without Harry Potter, there would definitely be some other savior.
While thinking about the old man of Ollivanders, he walked quickly into the Ollivanders wand shop.
Entering the door was facing a welcome desk, and in other places there were wand shelves piled up to the roof, and the rows of these were all weapons of the magic world, just stacked at random, and the people of the Ministry of Magic were really big-hearted.
The Ministry of Magic is very strict about the management of wands, but the wand of Ollivander's wand is just placed at random, isn't it afraid of being robbed?
Even if there are traces in it, can't I just throw one at a time?
These thousands of wands, once released, can definitely cause more harm than a thousand disposable pistols.
Magic is much more powerful than bullets!
"Good afternoon, Mr. Snape, has something happened to your wand?" Ollivander suddenly appeared in front of the welcome desk through the slide, "I can feel him from afar." ”
"I want you to take a look, I don't know what's going on with him lately." Zhang Jin was not surprised, everyone who has watched the movie knows that he likes to be so elusive.
Ollivander took the wand handed over by Zhang Jin at this time, "I remember that this wand, the core made of birch and unicorn tail hair, is thirteen and a half inches long, it is a faithful wand, it is the wand that chooses the wizard, Mr. Snape." ”
"He's struggling, sir," Ollivander kept rubbing the wand in his hand, watching and listening to it in front of his eyes or ears from time to time.
"I could feel him confused, which was weird, it had never been like this before."
Ollivander even tried two spells with his wand.
"It's strange that the wand usually betrays its master or self-destructs, and I've never seen such a contradiction."
Ollivanders kept frowning, then turned to look at Zhang Jin and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?" I can feel that his change is because of you. ”
"There is something wrong with my soul" After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jin still said part of it, only hoping that Ollivander could draw a useful conclusion.
"Soul, no wonder!" It dawned on Ollivander.
No wonder the wand was neither betraying nor self-destructive, because the wand was not taken away by someone else.
The reason why the wand is contradictory and struggling is because it has discovered the change of its owner, that is, it has found that Severus has become Zhang Jin, but it can still sense Severus's existence, so it is at a loss.
"It'll be fine when you recover it."
Ollivander returned his wand when he understood what was happening, "Remember, it's the wand that chooses the wizard, Mr. Snape. ”
However, this was not the answer Zhang Jin wanted, the reason was that he had already guessed that what he wanted was a solution, so Zhang Jin still looked at Ollivander and did not take the wand.
"What if I can't recover in a short period of time? Or can't it be reverted to the way it was? ”
Ollivander seemed to be thinking about this as well, and after a while he spoke, "Then you have to think about changing your wand, the core of the unicorn tail does not allow the owner to change his mind, whether it is good or bad." ”
"You know, it's the wand that chooses the wizard." Ollivander seemed to like to say that.
"Can I change my wand now? I feel like it may not last me to recover, and it may not be the right fit for me after recovery. ”
This is also Zhang Jin's most helpless place, the soul cannot be recovered in a short time, and the wand is very likely to be damaged, so you can't always use the wand!
