Introduction
Wandlore is an ancient, complex, and mysterious branch of magic in the fictional world of Harry Potter. This particular branch of magic is carefully studied by Wandmakers.
After Magical Education, a person seeking to become a wandmaker must become the apprentice of a skilled wandmaker. From there, they may undergo the study of Wandlore. There is also a possibility that there are gatherings where Wandlore lessons are taught. Even so, it is clear that Wandlore must be understood clearly in order to become a skilled wandmaker.
Priori Incantatem
Two wands with the same magical cores coming from the same magical creature cannot be forced to duel against one another. Should two such wands ever come in the way of one another, a rare connection is formed called, Priori Incantatem.
Accomplish Wandmaker
The only known major wandmakers are Mr. Ollivander and Gregorovitch. Ollivander is widely considered the best in Britain while Gregorovitch was the best in his land which has remained unknown. After the end of the series, it is known that Ollivander was tortured for Wandlore information by Lord Voldemort while Gregorovitch was killed for not telling who the Elder wand thief was, by Voldemort.
