Talisman Magic in Harry Potter - Chapter 4
Chapter 4 The Wand
In the Harry Potter world, although there are some wizards who have mastered the skill of wandless spellcasting, for any wizard, the wand is still a very important spellcasting tool.
Ollivander’s wand shop actually fits the fact that “the wand has been well made since 382 BC” as described by the peeling gold lettering on its doorplate. It is small and broken.
In the dusty shop window, a magic wand stood alone on the faded purple cushion.
A group of people entered the store, and the back of the store did not know where there was a ringing of bells. This was to remind the owner of the visitor.
The shop is very small. Except for a bench in front of the counter, all that is left is a long and narrow paper box piled up behind the counter that almost reaches the ceiling. Inside, there are probably made-up wands.
If you have the ability of magic vision, you will see a wall made up of magical fluorescent lights flashing with various colors at a glance.
But what surprises Andros is that someone else already choosing a wand in the shop.
Soon, a soft voice rang from behind the counter.
“Hello! A new customer!! Welcome, Did you buy magic wands for the little wizards who are newly enrolled this year?”
This is an old wizard who looks a little older, and he is carefully looking at the little wizard with his big, blue eyes.
“Ollivander’s Wand Shop, trust me, you will be able to find a wand that suits you perfectly.”
After a brief introduction, following the principle of first come first serve, girl happily stepped forward to choose her own wand.
“Miss Granger, which hand do you use the wand with?”
“Well—right hand!”
“Please raise your arms.” Ollivander had to bend down and measure Hermione carefully, from shoulder to hand, from wrist to elbow, from shoulder to ground, from knee to armpit, and the entire head.
While measuring, he still muttered: “Please keep in mind that it is the magic wand that selects the wizard. Every Ollivander wand has a strong magical substance, which is its essence. We usually use it. Unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon’s nerves, each Ollivander’s wand is unique, because no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you use it, it should belong to the other The wizard’s wand will never have such a good effect.”
It’s just Andros is already shocked to see this girl.
Although he forgot most of the plot of Harry Potter, but how can he forgot the most important character of Harry Potter world.
Hermione Granger, the heroine of this Harry Potter World.
Andros never thought that he will meet Hermione so soon. He just shook his head, and concentrate on wand selection process.
After the measurement, Ollivander pulled out a magic wand from the stacked carton: “Come on, try this magic wand and wave it lightly.”
Under Ollivander’s guidance, Hermione quickly chose the twelve-inch wand made of grapevine wood and dragon’s heart tendons that suits her.
“It’s your turn, boy, which hand are you used to?”
“Right hand.” Andros replied.
Ollivander also measured Andros carefully, and then recommended a few magic wands for him.
Holding the wand in his right hand and mobilizing his magic power, Andros soon discovered the difference between possessing the wand and before. Not only is the speed of the magic power within the body improved a bit, the magic that was originally permeated in the surrounding space that didn’t care about Andros can now be easily mobilized by Andros’s command.
Andros squeezed the magic wand in his hand, if he realized something.
Andros power is already in human body, just the amount of magic power is too low.
In Marvel World, Ancient One, the most powerful magician, she also needs to borrow the power of Dormammu.
They also uses some kinds of rings on their hand, so they can channel the magic power from other dimensions.
In DC world, SHAZAM, Black ADAM, and several other magicians, they all borrow the powers from Gods or some other entity.
And in Harry Potter world, wand is used to boost the effect of magic.
Like his current wand can boost his magic power effiency and effect by the multiple of 100x.
While he thinks that Elder Wand, which was given by the agent of Death, this wand definitely boost 1000x or 10000x times of magic efficency and effect.
As for boosting the effect by more than 10000x times is already too exaggerate. After all, if it can boost 1000x times more than normal wand, then Dumbledore can wipe out Voldemort, as if ant standing in front of him.
But this has not happened. He was forced to relay on Harry Potter.
“Then this is the only situation left.” Andros whispered involuntarily.
“What’s the matter?” Ollivander asked, looking at Andros, who was inexplicably silent.
“Ah? Nothing, I mean, this wand is really great, it suits me.” Andros recovered and raised the wand in his hand.
“Of course, it is also twelve inches, made of cedar wood and dragon heartstrings. This is my fine work.” Ollivander said proudly.
But Andros didn’t pay much attention to what the other party said. He looked down at the wand in his hand, squeezed it, and smiled satisfied.
Although he know that he doesn’t need this wand after sometime, but this wand definitely provide him safety, until he didn’t collect other talisman.
If he cast Horse talisman magic with this wand, then it will boost it’s effect by 100x times, which is almost like he leveled up his Horse talisman already.
If he level up his Horse talisman to level 3, then with this normal wand, he can cast better and faster healing magic than Elder Wand.
But he doesn’t know if this normal wand able to handle this much magic.
As for having low amount of magic in your body, Andros doesn’t have to worry.
After all, he found that the more magic is use, and recover, the faster his magic grow as well.
So it literally means, the more you practice, the more amount of magic you have.
As for the wizards who can cast spells without a wand, they are undoubtedly the top figures. But judging from Dumbledore’s performance, even the greatest wizard definitely can use magic without wand, but the effect will be weaker.
It is like you have the habit of living in Mansion with all the facility, and suddenly someone shifted you into the Hut.
Andros was a little emotional. Although he didn’t know if his guess was correct, the decline of the wizarding civilization was an obvious fact in the original book.
After paying the fee for the wand, he come out of the shop.
It’s just Andros was stopped by Granger family.
“Are you also a freshman at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year?”
Andros looked away from the map in his hand, raised his head and saw the man with long brown hair.
A girl with two front teeth.
From the outside, Hermione was not a very beautiful girl, she could even be said to be a little ordinary.
“Hello, my name is Hermione Jane Granger, how about you?” the little girl asked openly.
“Andros Carrow.” The simple answer vaguely showed Andros’s attitude.
But Hermione obviously didn’t feel this, and she confided her excitement to Andros excitedly.
To be honest, Andros didn’t want to get involved in the trio of salvation. Being young often meant trouble, and it was very easy to get Dumbledore’s attention.
Once noticed by Dumbledore, Andros will inevitably show his own difference, and explaining one point is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing.
Andros doesn’t like trouble and tries to avoid causing trouble to others. This is his consistent code of conduct.
“Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? You look listless.”
Seeing Andros’s absent-minded behavior, Hermione asked concerned.
“No, I feel good.”
Grangers had asked a lot of questions regarding the Hogwarts, and living conditions.
A wizard from a Muggle family, in addition to the knowledge obtained from the school, if he wants to go further, unless he is talented and creates your own magic, then you can only obtain more knowledge by serving pure-blooded nobles or the Ministry of Magic.
Although the library in the school may have a wealth of knowledge storage, for British children experiencing a happy education, Andros does not hope that they will have enough self-control and self-drive, even for those wizarding families Children of birth.
After all, play is the nature of children, and nature is uncontrollable.
It’s just Hermione is different, she is just a book maniac. And most importantly, she know if you want to reach higher, education is the only way out.
If Miss Hermione is temporarily undecided, and Andros does not like these ordinary pets, it is definitely not because he thinks it is troublesome to keep pets.
However, considering the communication with his family, Andros has no one to communicate.
So he doesn’t need any pet.
After all the shopping, he left.
They also exchanged contact information when he parted and agreed to contact him during the summer vacation. The studious Hermione was already preparing to write down all the books of both parties during the summer vacation.
Really deserves to be the future “Miss Know-it-all”!
