Hermione Prepares for the Gringotts Wizarding Bank Heist Using Bellatrix's Wand

PAGES: 519-520

As the group finalizes preparations for their break-in at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Hermione reluctantly picks up Bellatrix Lestrange's wand, which she must use for her disguise. She expresses her discomfort and hatred for the wand, mentioning how it feels like a part of Bellatrix, especially after it tortured Neville Longbottom's parents and killed Sirius Black. Harry recalls how Hermione had dismissed his own struggles with an unfamiliar wand earlier, but he chooses not to remind her of it.
