Harry Potter Theory EXTRA

The REAL Reason Harry Beat Voldemort (CONFIRMED by JK Rowling)


Listen Later

The Elder wand was the first hallow created, made by Death himself, and it was said to be the most powerful wand that ever existed. The Elder Wand is made of elder wood, and it's core is the tail hair of a Thestral. It's 15" long and has carvings down its length that resemble clusters of elderberries. With the elder wand, witches and wizards have historically been able to produce intensely powerful magic that others could only dream of. Some magic is actually altogether impossible without the Elder Wand- including things like mending other wands.


We see this powerful artefact pass hands on numerous occasions throughout the Harry Potter story- and its 'ownership' is of utmost importance to the plot. After all, it's the ownership of the Elder Wand that eventually allows Harry to defeat Voldemort- firing his own killing curse right back at him. But before Harry became it's owner in his final showdown with Voldemort at the end of the Deathly Hallows- who were the true owners?


Conventionally it is believed that Dumbledore was the owner, followed by Draco who disarmed Dumbledore, followed by Harry who disarmed Draco. But one popular fan theory suggests that Dumbledore was never the true owner at all. So where does that leave us?


The main driver behind the theory is HOW the wand actually changes ownership.
