Harry Questions Ollivander About the Elder Wand

PAGES: 493-497

Harry continues his conversation with Ollivander, focusing on the Elder Wand. He asks if the wand can only change hands through murder, and Ollivander, visibly terrified, explains that the Elder Wand has a violent history and is also known as the Deathstick or the Wand of Destiny. He confirms that Lord Voldemort is actively searching for the wand, believing it will make him invincible. Harry, aware that Lord Voldemort is already on his way to retrieve the wand, reflects on how much Dumbledore understood about wand lore and Lord Voldemort's pursuit of power.
