EvenHarry Potterwasn’t immune to bring down book contentedness to fit movie length . For the most part , small lore item were cut . Not include them did n’t hinder how the motion-picture show carried out the overall secret plan , but those details heighten the experience .

We ’ll draw from the books as much as potential , but ( canyon ) entropy from Pottermore makes explicate some of the less concrete construct easier . Like wand inflexibility and wand constabulary . Yes , there are wand laws .   Here are 10 Harry Potter baton facts that are n’t in the flick .

10. Priori Incantatem vs Prior Incantato

To earn it up , Priori Incantatem is the Reverse Spell essence whereas Prior Incantato is the spell itself . Priori Incantatem an uncommon happening that essentially does the same thing as the spell . InHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , we saw the core for the first sentence between Harry ’s sceptre and Voldemort ’s . Since the last spell Voldemort used was the Killing Curse ( Avada Kedavra ) , when the wand duel , it revealed not only the curse , but the citizenry killed by Voldemort ’s verge .

Basically , the main takeaway is anyone can do Prior Incantato , as Bellatrix Lestrange does to Hermione Granger ’s sceptre at Malfoy Mansion . But Priori Incantatem is an involuntary occurrent and only a select few wands are able of triggering it .

9.  Ron’s First Wand

The movies never submit it instantly , but the wand Ron habituate in the first two moving picture is n’t actually his scepter . The Weasleys , despite being one of the last purebred family in world , are poor . After only seeing Harry be copulate with a wand , we ’re just supposed to assume that somehow , Ron and Hermione were also twin by Ollivander . But that ’s not the case for Ron until the third playscript .

During the first two installments , Ron uses Charlie ’s old baton . Now there ’s a mint of problems with this , but the primary one is that the wand did n’t choose   Ron and it was never uncoerced to have a new owner , to begin with . Due to the combination of wood and core , Charlie ’s wand was unyielding , like Belatrix Lestrange ’s .

8. Neville’s First Wand

unbeknown to exclusively movie fan , Neville was in a exchangeable place as Ron . Except Neville ’s wand did n’t hate him . Neville inherit his first wand from his father , Frank Longbottom , once he became of historic period to practice magic . While we do n’t fuck the make of the wand at all , we can assume it was a knock-down wood and nucleus pair given what Frank and Neville were able to do with it .

After a Death Eater ( Antonin Dolohov ) go it in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , Neville beat a new one from Ollivander . His 2nd - and current - wand is 13 ” , cherry red wood , with a unicorn hair core . This is the wand that actually has a strong-arm collectible . The first one stay a mystery .

7. Other Wand Cores

The film only advert on Ollivander ’s preferred wand cores : phoenix feather , flying lizard heartstring , and unicorn hair’s-breadth . Admittedly , those three are the only unity super necessary to the plot , pass on that Harry and Voldemort ’s wand are conceive “ chum ” since their phoenix feathering cores were provided by the same capital of Arizona .

But these are just cores that Ollivander prefers , based on his research and experimentation with substance that produce the respectable wands . One of the most notable model of another baton core is Fleur Delacour ’s . It ’s not included in the movie adaptation , but in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , Fleur ’s wand is sustain to have a Veela hair heart and soul and that the hair belong to Fleur ’s grandmother . Other case include Salazar Slytherin ’s Basilisk horn baton and the Thestral hair Congress of Racial Equality of the Elder Wand .

6. The Longest Wand

This is more for fictitious character symbolism , but the sorcerer with the longest verge is Rubeus Hagrid . Its first appearance is in chapter 5 ofHarry Potter and the Philosopher ’s Stone , “ Diagon Alley . ” Like most Hogwarts students , Hagrid ’s wand was created by Ollivander .

Hagrid ’s verge pin clover in at 16 ” , though if it ’s a symbolism thing or more literally , a verge for a behemoth , we ’ll never really know . Or if the clay of the wand were at least partly mended and concealed in the pink umbrella .

5. The Shortest Wand

No surprises here . Dolores Umbridge possesses the short wand in the Harry Potter franchise . Possibly the most hated character in all of Harry Potter history , the shortness of her sceptre connects more to her personality rather than her physical stature .

It ’s say that wands 8 ” or shorter choose those lacking in personality . What that means is up to interpretation , but it probably has something to do with Umbridge being , well , Umbridge and lacking in meaningful relationship with any other characters .

4. The Subtle Laws of Wands

As much as the verge chooses the wizard , its loyalty may not always be rock solid . In comes the Subtle Laws of verge . This extend wands that have been conquered , inherit , take up , etc . , and how a modification of allegiance may occur .

The easiest fashion to gain ownership of a wand is to just get a new one from a wandmaker . It does n’t guarantee unfeignedly get the hang the wand , but it does mean that any spells form will actually work . you could win a scepter and its allegiance might shift , but that ’s a huge maybe . Malfoy ’s wand swapped allegiances to Harry , but Bellatrix ’s wand was described as “ unyielding . ” And even then , the wand may solve for the new wielder , but it may not be altogether master by the raw owner .   fundamentally , effective hazard trying to master any wand , no matter how it ’s obtained .

3. Wand Woods

Though Rowling uses a declamatory variety of wand woods , most can in reality be grouped into similar wood kinfolk . The 13 wand woods can be find at theWizarding World of Harry Potteras the Ollivander ’s original . Each type of wood in reality corresponds to a time of year , based on the Celtic tree calendar . That was kind of a happy fortuity with Harry , but Rowling by design gave Hermione and Ron the Natalie Wood colligate with their birthday too .

description for each wand wood were published after the books , and the trait of each match their most big wielder . For example , holly sceptre choose those involved in life-threatening , spectral quest . strait conversant ?

2. The Elder Wand’s Fate

We ’re going to work this explanation once and for all . The end ofThe Deathly Hallows Part 2 , Harry breaks the Elder Wand and throws it into that chasm right on the edge of the Hogwarts grounds . That ’s not how it happen in the books .

Dumbledore ’s ultimate architectural plan was n’t necessarily to give Harry a choice of what to do with the Elder Wand , but have the transfer of power end and therefore , destroy everything the Elder Wand was . After amend his original wand , Harry returned the wand to Dumbledore ’s grave and , upon dying a natural demise , would end the verge ’s power .

1. The Elder Wand’s Loyalty

This is the number one concept the motion picture got wrong because of how it affects the final battle . Harry ultimately defeats Voldemort , but instead of that nicely bookended spell backfire stimulate by the most introductory dueling spell , Voldemort … dissolve into nothing ? How is that cool than a spell rebound ?   So it ’s super unclear in the movie and we ’re under the depression that because Neville kill the last horcrux ( AKA Nagini ) , Voldemort in conclusion died . And then that plunge the whole “ Neville is actually the Chosen One because he killed the serpent ” debate .

But if you actually readThe Deathly Hallows , you ’d know that Harry not only is the lawful opt One , but because the Elder Wand ’s loyalty belonged to Harry , it could not kill its true owner . So the spell Voldemort tried to cast spring , and that spell just so come about to be the Killing Curse .
