===Wand===
To perform feats of magic a ''[[wand]]'' is usually used. Without a wand magic is possible, but this seems to be very difficult and uncontrolled. A wand is personal for a wizard, although other wizards' wands can be used, generally to a less potent effect than by using one's own wand. When Harry Potter was selecting his wand, he had to try out many wands until he found a wand that created sparks as he waved it. A wand is usually made of wood and has a core of an organic, magical object or substance. Such cores mentioned include [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]] tail feathers, [[unicorn]] tail hairs, [[dragon]] heartstrings and [[veela]] hair. Wands with cores from the same source give strange effects ([[Canonical spells in the world of Harry Potter#Prior Incantato|Priori Incantatem]]) when forced to fight each other, as is the case with Harry Potter's and [[Lord Voldemort]]'s wands in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''. Each of their wands contains a tail feather from [[Fawkes]], the phoenix belonging to [[Albus Dumbledore]]. The only named wand shop is Ollivander's, owned by [[Ollivander]], where Hagrid takes Harry to buy his first wand. However, in the "Weighing of the Wands" chapter of "Goblet of Fire", Ollivander is seen to evaluate two foreign wands: [[Viktor Krum]]'s wand: a Gregorovitch creation and unusually thick; and [[Fleur Delacour]]'s wand, whose core (a hair from her veela grandmother) was a core he felt created "temperamental" wands, and thus did not use himself. Rather than carry a wand inside one's robes, they can be put into other objects, as Lucius Malfoy does by hiding his inside his cane in the films, and Moody seems to have his actually inside his walking staff in the Order of the Phoenix
