I really love the wands from the Harry Potter films; partly because there are so many brilliant designs to choose from (each prop uniquely designed to match its owner) but mainly because they take up so little space once completed!
I don’t have access to a lathe, meaning each wand I make is hand-carved from a piece of wooden dowel with any details added to make them as accurate as possible - using screenshots from the films, promo shoots, prop displays, official replicas, reference guides... any reference material I can get my hands on, basically!
Anyway, here’s my collection so far... From top-to-bottom: a 3/4 scale Elder Wand (my first ever wand build!), Newt Scamander’s wand, Professor Flitwick’s from the first film, my interpretation of Dumbledore’s original wand (based on the Fantastic Beasts promo image - I’ll be making a second version once we get a better look at it), Cedric Diggory’s, Narcissa Malfoy’s - based on photos of the original prop rather than the Noble Collection one, which looks like it was based on the early concept drawing - and finally Bellatrix Lestrange’s curved wand.
I plan on keeping all of my wand builds on this thread from now on to make them easier to follow; and this can be a sort of “Master Post” with a list of all the wands I’ve made so far and the number for the specific post where I talk about how I made it on my detail:
Harry Potter:
Fantastic Beasts:
I look forward to sharing my progress with you all!
