Malfoy never held or owned the Elder Wand. He was the Master of the Elder Wand because he had disarmed Dumbledore, who was the owner of the Elder Wand. Harry later disarmed Malfoy, so he became the Master of the Elder Wand.

Wands choose their owners and no wand is weak simply through its own properties. A wand would be weak because the owner wasn't a very capable witch or wizard. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were the worst students in Harry's year at Hogwarts.


What wand did Harry Potter defeat Lord Voldemort with?

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.

How did the elder wand get to dumbledore?

Actually, Dumbledore didn't intend on Harry getting the Elder Wand. As said in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the only way you become the master of the wand is either you disarm the master and/or, you kill them. So when Draco disarmed Dumbledore in the sixth book that made Draco the master. In the seventh book, at Malfoy Manor, Harry disarmed Draco by taking his wand, making him the master of the Elder 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.
