Wand Wood Wonders

Well, well, well. Look who's back with MORE about you and your wand wood! Last week we learned about the wand that never chooses a Dark Wizard! Today we are learning about an adventerous wand so if you like adventure, here is where you should be, reading! This next picture should give you a clue as to what I'll be teaching you about today!

Some of you may have guessed the wood, but for clarification, we are talking about a maple wand today! I mentioned before that they are an adventerous wand but did you know if they are used as a stay-at-home wand then their magic actually becomes heavy and lacklustre!! A maple wand wants a new challenge a lot, and getting one literally makes the wand shine.

No one in the Harry Potter Series owned this wand, but it was said to be a wand that Garrick Ollivander did make. A person with this wand might even try to go look for gold, or battle a creature marked XXXXX by the Ministry. A sad part of having a maple wand is that they have been costly for centuries with no sign of the prices decreasing.

Muggles often use maple trees to get (as I showed in the picture) maple syrup. They use the wood for high-end furnature such as flooring, cabinetry, and kitchen accessories. The reason it is so high-end and expensive for Muggles is because of the durability. Muggles have a sport called "bowling" that has hard wood floors under them and they have to toss a really heavy ball to knock down pins. The hard wood floors are usually maple wood.

Muggles use maple trees for wood and syrup, and I don't want to leave Wizards and Witches out. Yes, we also use maple trees for those purposes. With that being said, this is the end for this blog! I hope you learned a LOAD of new stuff and are ready to come back next time I post a blog.

Flitwick out.
