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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I do suppose, though, that Harry’s Harry James. Perhaps it was a Marauder thing.
And Bill is William Arthur. Didn't really ping me at all.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think it was really that Remus is a unique name to my Muggle ears, whereas James or Arthur, nsm.

Hey. New board.
My question: how on earth did Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald if Grindelwald had an unbeatable wand? I'm thinking the wand is some sort of silly trickery.

Because Dumbledore was the better wizard? It's about aiming the spells, as well as knowing what to cast, right?

Hey. New board.
Yeah, but an unbeatable wand should make one unbeatable against any foe, I'd think. Isn't that the point? If it's only unbeatable against foes you could already beat... it's not unbeatable. I mean, I'd think an unbeatable wand would mean "Hand this to Colin Creevey and watch him beat Voldemort."
