Well the Elder wand has a long backstory but basically Dumbledore starts off with it in the book.
Then when Draco disarms Dumbledore he becomes it's master unknowingly.
Then Harry over powers Draco becoming the new owner.
Voldemort kills Snape who killed Dumbledore so he BELIEVES that he is the true master of the Elder Wand.
Then Harry and Voldemort face off Harry being the master of the Elder Wand. Voldemort's wand (The Elder wand) Then flies to it's true owner leaving Voldemort defenceless.
Hope it helps!
It was too late. Voldemort already knew where the Elder Wand was and was going to get it.
No, he doesn't. In the end Voldemort casts the Avada Kadarva curse with the elder wand at Harry, but it back fires as Harry is the true owner of the elder wand and it hits Voldemort, and he dies.
Harry used the Hawthorn wand that was previously Draco Malfoy's. It went like this:In order to truly own the Elder wand, a wizard would have to take the wand of the current master against their wishes. Albus Dumbledore was the true master of the Elder wand. Draco Malfoy became the next true owner when he disarmed Albus Dumbledore right before his death. However, the Elder wand was buried with Dumbledore. Draco never knew he was the new master. Later, Harry took Draco's Hawthorn wand while he was escaping Malfoy Manor. Since Malfoy was the current master of the Elder wand, this passed the Elder wand's ownership on to Harry. In the meantime, Voldemort broke into Dumbledore's tomb and stole the Elder wand. Voldemort thought that Snape was the new master, as he had killed Dumbledore, not realizing that Draco had disarmed Dumbledore. Voldemort killed Snape and believed himself to be the new Elder wand master. When it came down to the final duel in the Great Hall, Voldemort used the Elder wand that Harry was now master of. Voldemort cast an Avada Kedavra curse at Harry. Harry cast an Expelliarmus spell. Since Harry was the master of the wand Voldemort was using, the Elder Wand would not kill its true master, therefore, Voldemort's Avada Kedavra rebounded off of the Expelliarmus and killed him.
Note: This may be a bit confusing. Ok, before Dumbledore (the owner of The Elder Wand) died Draco Malfoy disarmed him, Which makes Draco the Owner of the Wand, but he Doesn't Pick it up and Voldemort eventually gets It But Harry Disarms Draco making himself, owner of the Elder Wand. Voldemort Tries To Kill Harry With The Elder Wand using The Killing Curse but it Rebounds and Hits Voldemort because the Elder Wand won't kill Harry because It Belongs to him. :)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)(:)

Voldemort kills Snape to get the elder wand
Lord Voldemort Harry Potter.
because the Elder wand can be forced to kill its owner like another wand could be forced to kill its owner. but voldemort did not kill harry with the wand he just killed a part of his own soul because harry didnt try to defend himself.
~Yes it means Harry controls the Elder Wand. Because the Elder wand is controlled by whoever defeats its previous welder(owner).Notes:1. Voldemort killed himself (accidentally).2. Neither Snape or Voldemort has ever been the real master of the Elder Wand. (Read the book for more information.)Another reply: Yes, Harry controls the elder wand - but not for the reasons given in the question. The way Harry explained it:It was not really Snape who defeated Dumbledore, but Draco Malfoy. This made Draco the owner of the elder wand.Harry later defeated Draco, becoming the owner of the elder wand.
Lucious Malfoy's wand. But he then wanted the elder wand. One of the deathly hallows.
He takes it from voldemort Dumbledore had been master of the Elder Wand since 1945. When Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore at the top of the Astronomy tower at Hogwarts, before his death, he earned the wand's allegiance (Draco didn't realize this). The wand was then buried with Dumbledore. When Harry was captured by Snatchers in the Deathly Hallows, he wrestled Draco Malfoy's wand from him before Disapparating, and the Elder Wand switched its allegiance to Harry. The next morning, Voldemort broke into Dumbledore's tomb and took the Elder Wand for himself. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry realizes he is the true master of the Elder Wand and in the final battle against Voldemort, he uses Expelliarmus to disarm the Dark Lord. Voldemort's killing curse rebounds on him and kills him, because the Elder Wand cannot kill its true master, Harry.
Tom Riddle a.k.a Lord Voldemort cast the killing curse at Harry Potter with the Elder Wand. Harry Potter deflected the spell and because Harry owned the Elder Wand it left Voldemort's hand and flew to Harry leaving Voldemort defenceless and he was hit by the rebounding curse.
