Best Answer

Garrick Ollivander (Mr. Ollivander), the proprietor of Ollivander's Wand Shop in the Harry Potter universe, was descended from a long line of wand makers - the Olivanders had been making wands since 382 B.C. Mr. Olivander was born 25 September in, or before, 1921 and entered the family business as soon as he was old enough. Likely he was already making some wands during the summers when he was home from Hogwarts. He became the proprietor no later than the fall of 1938 when he sold Tom Riddle his wand.

What kind of wands are there on Pottermore?

The name of a Pottermore wand consists of the core, wood, and flexibility. Most wands are between 9-14 inches long. Wandmakers often match the wand length to the height of the witch or wizard who will use it, but Ollivander considers this measure inadequate. In his experience, longer wands tend to be drawn to bigger personalities, whereas shorter wands suit people whose character lacks something. Cores: - Unicorn Hair - Dragon Heartstring - Phoenix Feathers Woods: - Acacia - Alder - Apple - Ash - Aspen - Beech - Blackthorn - Cedar - Cherry - Chesnut - Cypress - Dogwood - Ebony - English Oak - Elder - Elm - Fir - Hawthorn - Hazel - Holly - Hornbeam - Larch - Laurel - Mahogany - Maple - Oak - Pear - Pine - Poplar - Redwood - Rosewood - Rowan - Silver Lime - Spruce - Sycamore (Most Common) - Vine - Walnut - Willow - Yew Flexibilities: - Quite Bendy - Surprisingly Swishy - Swishy - Slightly springy - Fairly bendy - Very flexible - Quite flexible - Supple - Reasonably Supple - Pliant - Brittle - Hard - Solid - Stiff - Rigid - Unyielding - Slightly Unyielding - Unbending
