Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wand

Can you buy a real, working magic wand?
Some, probably young, editor posted this on the main article page.

The answer is, of course, no. lel

Let us leave aside the fact that the Potter books are fiction. If we assume that the Wizarding world, as described, exists, then in order to buy a wand, you must first find a wand shop, and second, display sufficient magical ability that a wand will select you. Both of these require magical abilities, and if none have shown up in you by the time you can gather enough money for a wand (recall, Harry was 11 and was already doing wandless magic), then it is very likely that you are a Muggle, and a wand would not work for you even if you had one.

Doesn't stop us from wishing, though, does it? Probably this is why Hagrid said that the wizarding world had to remain secret. Chazz (talk) 22:03, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
