Best Answer

Harry was happier with his Holly and Phoenix feather wand. It saved his life when he was in the graveyard of Little Hangleton and then acted of its own accord and snapped Voldemort's borrowed wand when he left Privet drive. He's had that wand since he was 11 and feels like he's been through a lot with it. He says several times in the series that he's very fond of that wand and thinks of it as an extension of himself. He was clearly very distressed when it was broken in Godric's Hollow and continues to carry it with him despite it being useless.

And since the Elder wand usually passes ownership through murder, Harry recognizes that continuing to use it is asking for trouble and he's had enough dark wizards trying to murder him already.

How many wand did Daniel Radcliffe break in Harry Potter?

Harry Potter only ever owned one wand, but when it broke he was forced to borrow Hermione's. He then stole a wand while at Malfoy manor, that wand turned out to be Draco Malfoy's. Stealing this wand made him the master of the elder wand - but Harry choose to mend his own and keep that.


If the wand Draco was holding when harry disarmed him wasnt the elder wand how then does harry become master of the elder wand?

i think it was all planned out by dumbledore! Actually when Draco dis-armed Dumbledore in The half Blood Prince, at the end right before Dumbledore was killed, the elder wand would then work for Draco, Then in the Deathly hallows when Harry dis-armed Draco that allowed him to be able to use the elder wand

Does Voldemort get the elder wand?

Yes he does posses it but never is the owner of it. It is confusing but I will explain from when Dumbledore has it. OK Dumbledore has the wand and is it's master. Draco disarms him and because of it unknowingly becomes the owner of the wand. Voldemort steals the wand from Dumbledore's grave but because he is not the true owner it does not work for him. Voldemort believes because Snape killed Dumbledore he is the owner of the wand so kills Snape. Harry wrestles Draco's wand from him and physically overpowers him becoming the new owner of the Elder wand (due to Draco's defeat) Then Harry and Voldemort face off, Voldemort with the Elder wand that Harry masters so Harry wins. So Voldemort Physically has the wand but never masters it so it works as normally as any other wand for him.

The relevance of the "Elder Wand" in Harry Potter is mainly that it is a very powerful wand.
