Wand

A wand is the type of tool that witches and wizards taught at Hogwarts uses to do magic. With this tool they can weave spells and cast curses that people using other types of magic cannot do.

The wand chooses the wizard, not the opposite way around, thus creating a mental bond between the two. The wand has often showed to protect its owner if he or she is uncapable of doing it himself.

Of course, as wands are made of wood, they can be broken, though it takes more power than breaking a regular wooden stick thanks to the magic in the core. A reversed spell is one of the more usual ways of breaking ones wand. Weapons enchanted witch magic, like enchanted swords or silver-tipped arrows, also have the power to break a wand.
