Though I suppose, anyone who knows the story could theoretically kill Harry (assuming that's possible) and then swipe the wand.

right, that's what I'm saying. And I think that it's definitely possible to kill Harry. The only reason that Voldemort didn't was the horcrux.

And speaking of, do wizards live longer than muggles?

All is well that ends in pizza.

On the other hand Harry, being who he is, would almost have to become an Auror in order to be up to fending off the occasional lone wandslinger that would come into town hoping to take down the great Harry Potter.

Couldn't Harry, like, break the wand into bits?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Harry has never been very good at resisting an adventure. I think eventually, after everything settled down again, he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to become an auror.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Even before he defeated Voldemort, he was determined to become an Auror. I don't see why defeating the greatest Dark Wizard of the time would stop him. Hell, he already died, so whatevs on that front, right?

Well, it's the most powerful wand in the world, I don't know that it would let itself be destroyed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He could be like Captain Kirk and show the wand that certain of its assumptions were contradictory, thus causing it to explode.

Art Crawl!!!

Are there any wandmakers still alive that might have knowledge of how to undo or unmake a wand?
