Wand Woods!
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

Wand Woods! Li9olo10

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Wand Woods! Empty Wand Woods!

Post by Noah Archer Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:07 am

So I was browing JKR's personal site and happened upon a small article about wands. Doubtlessly someone here's already read it, but whatever. Apparently JKR has a system from choosing wand woods for her characters based of some celtic system.

December 24 - January 20 = Birch (Beth)
January 21 - February 17 = Rowan (Luis)
February 18 - March 17 = Ash (Nion)
March 18 - April 14 = Alder (Fearn)
April 15 - May 12 = Willow (Saille)
May 13 - June 9 = Hawthorn (Huath)
June 10 - July 7 = Oak (Duir)
July 8 - August 4 = Holly (Tinne)
August 5 - September 1 = Hazel (Coll)
September 2 - September 29 = Vine (Muin)
September 30 - October 27 = Ivy (Gort)
October 28 - November 24 = Reed (Ngetal)
November 25 - December 23 = Elder (Ruis)

Just something to look at/mull over.

only the trio & Draco have wands that match their birthdays, and that's apparently because she gave Harry the right wand wood by accident.

Bellatrix, for example, has a walnut wand, whereas her birth wood is willow.

Most of the woods I use for my characters aren't even on that list.

Yeah, she had given Hagrid Oak (his birth wood would've been elder) because Oak is associated with protecting or something similar. Still interesting enough though, and it's quite possible she gave minor characters their birth woods, and simply never mentioned them in the books.
