Common Cores of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort
In the Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling, there is a connection in the wands’ of Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter. This connection causes Harry and Lord Voldemort to have a hard time defeating one another because both of the wands have a feather of the same phoenix. Lord Voldemort wanted to kill Harry so he could have another horcrux to store his soul in. The reason the wands react strangely when fighting against one another is because when they do, the wands display all of the spells which the wizard has cast in reverse order of the casting. The winning wizard often gains powers from the losing wizard because of the connection.
This connection is Priori Incantatem, which causes Harry to be able to have more power in his wand because when he dueled in the cemetery with Lord Voldemort in The Goblet of Fire, he absorbed some of Lord Voldemort’s power which made Harry capable of conjuring spells which his was unaware that he was able to do. (Goblet) He ends up having much stronger powers then anyone had imagined for such a young wizard. This makes him a role model to other students at Hogwarts, and causes them to want to join forces with him to form Dumbledore’s Army in The Order of the Phoenix.(Order)
In the Wizarding world, each magic wand is made from wood and has a magical core. Mr. Ollivander is a wand maker in Diagon Alley and the wands he makes have one of three cores: dragon heartstring, unicorn tail hair, or phoenix feather. Harry and Lord Voldemort both have wands that share the same core from the same source. This makes it so the wands will not function against each other, instead the wands react strangely and do not conjure the spells which have been cast correctly.
When a wizard goes to get a wand they don’t choose the wand it chooses them. When Harry goes to get his wand, he goes through many to get to the one that is meant for him. The wand that is meant for him is a combination of phoenix feather and holly, which is not often seen in the
