The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

This means that Dolly also understands the importance of matching and won't just grab a wand randomly, even if she does—well, that's for other people.

During that month, he also tried several times to get Dolly to use the new wand.

The answer remains the same: Dolly has maximum adaptability to all wands.

But in a sense, isn't this also a test?

Let's see what Dolly's character and temperament are really like.

141 Determine the type of wand

Dolly watched Ollivander leave, and she was happy because her efforts had finally earned Ollivander's approval.

Dolly didn't have an accurate understanding of her own skill level.

After all, Dolly hadn't met any other wand makers, so she must be pretty good, right?

However, she was clearly far from being as good as Ollivander, a fact that Dolly was well aware of.

So even though Ollivander allowed Dolly to sit in his seat and work, Dolly didn't do so rashly.

Instead, he began to think about what type of wand he should make for the first time.

She could tell that Ollivander hadn't taught her everything, especially the knowledge of making advanced wands; Ollivander had withheld some of it.

But this reservation wasn't kept from Dolly; it seemed he was expecting Dolly to discover it on her own, or perhaps he was expecting Dolly to ask him to teach her.

In this way, the relationship between the two people may be upgraded from teacher and apprentice to a true teacher and disciple.

However, Dolly had reservations about whether or not to become Ollivander's apprentice.

It's not that I look down on Ollivander's skills. As the best wand maker, if Ollivander were really willing to teach, he would be passing on the family's inherited knowledge to an outsider.

Ollivander will be under tremendous pressure, and if Dolly only scratches the surface of wand-making, then she will be letting down all of Ollivander's hard work.

Ollivander and Snape were ultimately different.

The foundation of Dolly and Snape's master-disciple relationship was that they could work together to kill Voldemort in the future.

But if Dolly becomes Ollivander's apprentice, it might cause him even more trouble.

Dolly quickly abandoned these wild thoughts and focused her attention on the task of making the wand itself.

She knew exactly what she wanted: to create a wand that she could use in private.

Therefore, this wand must be as suitable as possible for her, and it must be designed for battle.

After all, Dolly doesn't necessarily need to use magic in her daily life, and as a Muggle, she has the most basic self-care abilities.

Her only worry is that if she encounters an unexpected situation, using her wand in battle might lead to more trouble.

After all, Dolly didn't want to be summoned by the Ministry of Magic every time she used her wand; many things were ultimately shady.

As for the regulations that minors might be expelled or punished by the Ministry of Magic for using magic outside of school, Dolly wasn't too concerned about them.

Because very few wizards are actually expelled for using magic outside of school, the vast majority are simply given a warning.

Making young wizards who have learned magic obediently stop using magic is itself a very inhumane thing to do.

Next, Dolly began selecting the wood she needed.

If you're looking for sheer power, elderberry is undoubtedly the best choice.

The Old Man's Wand is a wand made of elderberry, but an elderberry wand does not necessarily mean that the Old Man's Wand is the same as the Elder Wand.

Elderwood is the rarest wand wood and has a notorious reputation for bringing great misfortune, making elderwood wands more tricky to use than other wands.

They possess powerful magic, yet they disdain to accompany masters who are no more outstanding than others.

Wizards who wield elder wands are usually world-renowned, no matter how long they have held them.

However, using such a wand would be tantamount to revealing one's own strength, ambition, and pursuits.

When people see Dolly using the Elder Wand, they might mistake her for a follower of Voldemort, which could really infuriate Dumbledore.

So although Dolly coveted the magic that elderberry might bring, she put it aside for the time being.

After all, if someone were to create such a wand right in front of Ollivander, Ollivander's face would probably turn green with rage.

If Dolly really needs such powerful magic, she can simply create it privately later.

After all, once the skills are learned, tools can be crafted by oneself, and Dolly can make up for the skill gap between her and Ollivander through enhancement.

This is also Dolly's biggest source of confidence in not wanting to become Ollivander's apprentice.

Besides elderwood, wands made of applewood, aspen, cherry wood, ebony, and other materials can also be used to create wands with powerful magic.

Aspen wood has a stylish, ivory-like appearance and can exhibit excellent magical abilities, making it a treasure for all wand makers.

The ideal owner of an aspen wand is usually a skilled duelist, or someone destined to be one, making the aspen wand one of the most suitable wands for using dueling magic.

Cherry wood wands are primarily used by students in Japan, where owning a cherry wood wand brings immense prestige.

Wands made of cherry wood have the power to kill, regardless of what's inside the core.

If the heartstrings of a dragon were used to create a wand, it would be impossible for it to be paired with a wizard who lacks exceptional self-control and a strong mind.

As for ebony, this jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, making it ideal for casting all offensive magic and transmutation spells.

Ebony wands are happiest in the hands of those who have the courage to be themselves.

These individuals often include nonconformists, highly individualists, or people who are comfortable being outsiders.

The wielder of the ebony wand can be found among members of both the Phoenix Order and the Death Eaters.

The perfect match for an ebony wand would be someone who will steadfastly uphold their beliefs and whose goals will not be easily swayed by external pressures.

Besides these materials, there are other materials that Dolly also finds appealing.

For example, fir wood.

Ollivander called the wands made of this material the wands of the survivors.

His grandfather sold the wand to three wizards, all of whom later emerged unscathed from deadly danger.

This wand, crafted from the wood of the most resilient trees, is suitable for those who seek to maintain strength and achieve powerful goals.

In the hands of an indecisive person, they would be crude, ordinary wands, suitable for transfiguration, and preferred by a focused, decisive, and sometimes intimidating wielder.

Mahogany is flexible and adaptable, making it prone to deformation.

Wands made from pear wood, a golden-colored wood, possess exceptional magical abilities and will perform at their best in the hands of a kind, generous, and wise person. Owners of pear wood wands are usually popular and highly respected.

Dolly looked at each piece of wood, and so many of them captivated her that she wanted one of each kind of wand.

And yet, she possessed this ability; the wands in Ollivander's wand shop were readily available, as if they were all tempting Dolly, wanting her to reach out to them.

However, Dolly eventually held back.

Ollivander wasn't angry even though she tried out all the wands.

However, Dolly felt that this mentality of succumbing to her own desire for magic was not a good thing.

If Dolly ever has similar ideas in the future, then she might as well make her own wand and create a collection room for it.

In any case, this is not the time to do this kind of thing.

Dolly then looked at the wand's core, intending to start her selection from there.

Compared to wood, there are far fewer options for the core of a wand.

Because the core of a wand must be made of some special material from magical creatures, there are certainly fewer materials that meet this requirement than a wide variety of woods.

Furthermore, many of the magical creatures are protected animals and must be artificially bred to maintain a basic population, making it even more difficult to obtain their materials.

The most common core materials, which are the three materials most favored by Ollivander, are unicorn tail hair, dragon heart nerves, and phoenix feathers.

Unicorn tail hairs typically produce the most stable magic, rarely affected by fluctuations or blockages.

Wands made from unicorn tail hair are difficult to use with dark magic and can be made into the most loyal wands: they will maintain a strong bond with the person regardless of whether their first owner was a distinguished wizard.

The minor drawback of unicorn tail hair is that it cannot be used to make the most powerful wands, although wand wood may make up for this shortcoming.

Furthermore, if not handled properly, a unicorn's tail hair can easily become depressed. This means that the tail hair has "died" and needs to be replaced.

As for the heart and nerves of a fire dragon, they can generally be used to create the most powerful wands and to cast the most magnificent magic.

Phoenix feathers are the rarest type of cane core.

The Phoenix Feather Wand can cast the most types of magic, although it may take longer to achieve this than the Unicorn Hair Wand or the Dragon Heart Nerve Wand.

They appear to be the most proactive, sometimes acting on their own whims, which is something many wizards dislike.

Phoenix feather wands are always the most selective when choosing their owners, because the phoenix itself is one of the most independent and transcendent creatures in the world.

These wands are the most difficult for wizards to tame and privatize, and it is very difficult to gain their loyalty.

In addition, Mewtwo hair, Thestral tail feathers, and other materials are extremely rare.

Because it did not meet Ollivander's expectations, he had almost none of these wand cores here, or rather, none of them were displayed.

Ollivander naturally wanted his disciples to choose one of three things: unicorn tail hair, dragon heart nerves, and phoenix feathers, and Dolly did not want to break this principle.

After all, this was only the first wand she had ever made.

and many more……

While Dolly was rummaging through the box containing the core material, she suddenly felt an electric shock.

She found it hard to believe; this was a magical world.

What could possibly give her the feeling of being electrocuted? It couldn't be that Ollivander actually had some electrical appliance hidden in his house that was leaking electricity, could it?

So Dolly started searching at the bottom, and during this process, the sensation of being stimulated by the electric current became more and more frequent, eventually seeming to become a kind of guidance.

Finally, Dolly took out a document, and even though it was only at first glance, Dolly knew that this was the one.

Because these are the tail feathers of a thunderbird.

The ptarmigan is a large bird native to North America, most commonly found in Arizona in the southwestern United States, and is closely related to the phoenix.

Thunderbirds can create storms while flying and are highly sensitive to danger; one of the schools at the Ilvermorny School of Magic is named after this creature.

Dolly was familiar with the Thunderbird because of the first book in the Harry Potter series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Around 1926, the protagonist, Newt Scamander, who is also the author of the textbook book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," rescued a thunderbird from traffickers in Egypt and named it Frank.
