Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindlewald and became the owner of the Elder Wand.

Draco Malfoy disarmed Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which meant that Draco was recognised as the new owner of the wand. The only person who knew this was Dumbledore, who then died.

At Malfoy Manor, Harry ran past Draco and pulled several wands out of his hand (making him the master of all of them) one of which was Draco's. Thus Harry was now the master of the Elder Wand without knowing it.

Voldemort stole the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb and thought that because he had taken it from him, he would be the master. But when he realized that it didn't work as well as it could for him he ordered his snake to kill Severus Snape who he thought was the true master.

When Voldemort challenged Harry with the Elder Wand, it knew it could not kill it's own master so Harry's disarming spell worked and Harry caught the Elder Wand.

Harry then decided that he didn't want the Elder Wand because it caused to much trouble, instead he repaired his old wand.

Is Harry Potter's wand the Elder wand?

Harry Potter became the rightful master of the Elder Wand. The Wand belongs to the person who defeats its current owner. On the Astronomy Tower right before Dumbledore was killed, Malfoy disarmed him therefore becoming the rightful master. Later on, in a scuffle in Malfoy Manor, Harry obtained Malfoy's wand and became the owner of the Elder Wand without knowing. Voldemort broke into Dumbledore's grave and stole the wand and tried to kill Harry with it, but because Harry was the wand's true master, the spell backfired and killed Voldemort. Harry eventually decided the wand was too powerful and destroyed it, after using it just once to mend his own wand.
