Hagrid's pink umbrella is really strange.
William has seen him cast magic with this umbrella more than once.
But Hagrid said that his wand was broken, and refused to tell anything about the umbrella.
Although William was curious, he didn't care too much. He's just a new wizard , and he doesn't realize how extraordinary the deed of performing magic with a broken wand is(hagrids umbrella contains the broken pieces of his wand).
"Okay, I understand if you don't want to talk about it, so Little wizard it's time for you to be chosen." Ollivander turned his gaze towards William again.
Saying that, he took out a tape measure with silver scales from his pocket.
"Mr. Stark, which is your dominant arm."
"It will be my right."
"Well, raise your arms, okay."
Ollivander started measuring William, first from shoulders to fingertips, then from wrists to elbows, shoulders to feet, knees to underarms, and finally his head.
"Mr. Olivander Since it is the wand that chooses the wizard, why do you need to measure my body if the wand is already made.?"
"Well little one I measure everyone, is because to get a feel of what kind of wand will choose you, I have thousands it makes the number go down in the 20's or 10's for most wizards.
While measuring, Ollivander babbled: "Every Ollivander wand has a magical core, which is the essence of it, Mr. Stark.
I use the unicorn horn, phoenix feathers or the heart of the dragon but that's very rare most of the time it's just dragon heartstrings.
Every Ollivander wand is unique because no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly the same.
Of course, if you used a wand that belongs to another wizards , it would never work properly or will even defy your orders ."
The tape measure began to operate automatically, and Ollivander shuttled between the shelves, constantly instructing Cedric to select some long boxes to move down.
"It's done" Ollivander said, and the tape measure fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.
"Then, Mr. Stark, try this one. It's made of hawthorn wood and unicorn hair. It's ten inches, and it has good elasticity."
As an apprentice, Cedric took out a dilapidated notebook. He did not open it. Instead, he recited:
"Page ninety-fifth, line six.
Gregorovitch once said, 'The hawthorn wand is a wand full of contradictions, like the tree itself that gave birth to this contradictory quality, its leaves and flowers are therapeutic, and the smell of its branche is lethal'…"
Ollivander nodded and started the on-site teaching: "
Although I disagree with most of Gregorovitch's opinions, we resonate very well with the complex and fascinating properties of hawthorn wands.
They only accept the owner who suits them best. "
"Cedric,remember this, from my experience, this wand will be favored by wizards who are going through a period of their own confusion."
With that said, Ollivander snatched the wand from William's hand.
"Obviously, it's not suitable for you, child." Ollivander shook his head.
"Come and try this." He drew out another wand with black lines.
"Made of apple wood and dragon heartstrings, nine and a quarter inches, very elastic."
Cedric said quickly: "Page 1926, line ninety-four.
Apple wood represents longevity, supplemented by the heartstrings"
"That's right! A combination of genius." Ollivander rubbed his palms excitedly.
"There are elders in the east, who use this combination, and my ancestors once made a similar wand for Nicolas Flamel.
The effect seems to be pretty good, although people think it's more about time magic or the Philosopher's Stone - come on, try it out, kid! "
As soon as William touched the wand, he felt the magic all over his body pouring out uncontrollably.
Ollivander grabbed the wand immediately, but it was too late, and the door was directly blown to pieces.
"Oh, sorry." William said.
"It's not you fault boy,the door will be restored soon, but this wand doesn't seem to be for you either."
Ollivander became more and more excited, he hadn't seen such a picky customer for a long time.
"We'll find it, the most suitable one for you, won't we?"
William tried one wand after another, and the wands he tried were stacked onto each other higher and higher.
But Ollivander kept asking Cedric to draw the wand from the shelf, and was shaking, in a state of excitement.
"A unique customer who can't find the perfect match? It doesn't matter, there's always one that's ideal, the perfect one, the one that's right for you—let me see."
Ollivander roared, so frightening that even Hagrid almost pinched his little pink umbrella.
Ollivander was jumping around acting like a crazy lunatic.
"A remarkable combination, cherry wood, phoenix feathers, twelve and three-quarter inches. Yes, very rigid."
He walked to the window in person, and carefully picked up the wand lying quietly on the faded purple cushion over the dusty window.
William took the wand and felt a sudden heat in his fingertips.
He raised his wand high above his head, swung it down with a swishing sound, and swept through the dusty air, only to see a red light, the wand head was like a firework of stars, and the light so intense radiated the room.
Mr. Ollivander shouted: "Oh, great, oh, really, great."
Cedric put the wand into the case and wrapped it in brown paper, while Ollivander watched William with pale, colorless eyes.
"This wand is the last wand made by my grandfather, Gabbard Octavius Ollivander, and the greatest wand maker of the last two hundred years.
The material is rare cherry wood, which has become the favorite material of the Makohoto School of Magic, the Japanese scool of magic, since my grandfather started this combination.
I originally thought that this wand would be stored over the window forever, but I didn't expect..."
Hagrid also applauded, "When I came to buy a wand as a kid, this one was already over the window."
"Makohoto? So there are more schools out there."
"Oh, that's the best magic school in Asia, although I don't think that's accurate."
Ollivander said, tidying up the blown up door, and at the same time gave Cedric a "you know" look.
Cedric nodded imperceptibly, and out of nowhere, took out a gift box.
His tone was still humble, but he turned into a salesman.
"You might have bought the wand but you can't keep it well maintained. It's a very expensive thing and needs regular maintenance.
But don't be afraid! Our Ollivanders Wand Shop has a special summer care package:
For three Galleons, you get five Galleons worth of things to keep your wand in top condition.
If you pay five Galleons, in addition to maintaining the appliance, you can also get a two-year warranty card.
During the warranty period, unless the wand is broken, our Ollivander wand shop will repair it for you free of charge.
Before he said anything, Hagrid stood up from his chair and shouted excitedly, "Come on, give me a set!"
William: "…"
