Elder wand 005 (English Oak)

Albus Dumbledore’s onscreen wand is crafted from English Oak with “wonderful outcroppings of of nodules”, explains prop maker Pierre Bohanna. It is supposedly inlaid with bone and etched with runes. The word ‘elder’ in this context appertains to the history and power of this wand and does not refer to the type of wood which should be English Oak, as is this one.

One of the most formidable wizards of his time, Albus Dumbledore is best known as headmaster of Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry and founding leader of the Order of the Phoenix.

This wand is the most powerful wand in existence which he obtained by defeating its former master in a duel.

The wand passes on several times but I will leave it there for those of you who may not have read the books or seen the films 😉
