Discover your Harry Potter wand in this Pottermore Wand Quiz, grounded in Rowling’s lore of woods, cores, and flexibility. Answer 15 questions to find out.
Meet your wand with a fan-made Pottermore-style quiz. It matches your choices to lore about woods, cores, length, and flexibility, then explains why the result fits you. It suits new readers, long-time fans, and families. If you prefer the official ceremony, you will find a source at the end.
New to the wizarding world? You may want to learn your house first. Our Hogwarts House quiz can help you see your traits in a simple way before you try a wand.
Is this official?
No. This is a fan project that respects the story and avoids spoilers. We do not copy the official questions. We do not claim to be perfect. The quiz aims to be fun and grounded in canon notes. We link the primary sources at the end so you can read them yourself.
How this quiz works
- We ask personality and choice-based questions that map to three parts of a wand: wood, core, and flexibility. Length is secondary and reflects posture and presence rather than power.
- Answer patterns align with core themes. Phoenix fits resilience and independence. Unicorn fits steadiness and loyalty. Dragon fits bold force and risk tolerance.
- Wood traits reflect temperament. For example, holly often favors those on a hard path who try to control anger. Ebony suits nonconformists who stand by their beliefs.
- Flexibility expresses how quickly a wand accepts change. More yield can track adaptability. Less yield can reflect firm resolve.
- The result explains why this match makes sense and gives a short, lore-based profile of the wood and core you received.
What your result means
Your wand is not a score or a grade. It is a profile that mirrors how you decide, react, and grow. A few examples:
- Holly with Phoenix, slightly springy: protective and principled. You keep moving even when it is tough. You can be quick to react, so you need a clear goal.
- Ebony with Dragon, rigid: intense focus and strong will. You challenge norms. You do best when the mission is yours, not assigned.
- Laurel with Unicorn, pliant: steady energy and fair play. You value honor. You dislike shortcuts and prefer clean wins.
If you enjoy exploring animal symbolism, our Patronus quiz adds another layer to your magical profile. Patronus choices sometimes echo core tendencies, but they are not the same thing.
Wand anatomy at a glance
Woods
Woods carry broad tendencies. They are not destiny. In our matches, holly often lines up with protective aims, laurel with high ideals, cypress with noble sacrifice, and apple with charm and warmth. The official guide describes many other woods. We link it in the sources.
Cores
We use the three familiar cores for clarity. Phoenix can be choosy and independent. Unicorn is faithful and consistent. Dragon is powerful and temperamental. A strong match is not about good or bad. It is about fit.
Length and flexibility
Length hints at presence and confidence. Flexibility hints at adaptability. Neither is a moral label. Together, they fine-tune how a wand channels your intent.
Safety and tone
We avoid harmful or graphic scenarios. Moral questions appear in safe contexts. The goal is to reflect values without shock. If you spot an issue, tell us and we will fix it.
FAQ
Is the Elder Wand in the results? Rarely. We avoid mythical items that imply unbeatable power. The quiz keeps results balanced and story-friendly.
Can two people get the same wand? Yes. Personality patterns overlap. Your explanation text is still unique to your choices.
Why do I get different results on different days? Small shifts in mood lead to different choices. Read both explanations. The common ground is your core trait set.
