Harry’s wand contains a feather from a phoenix (Dumbledore’s phoenix, Fawkes). That same phoenix gave ONE other feather. That feather was made into a wand of yew, 13 ½ inches. That wand was sold around 50 years ago to a boy named Tom Riddle. Tom left school after his 7th year and sank deep into the Dark Arts, emerging as Lord Voldemort, the most powerful dark wizard of all time. He set out to kill Harry after hearing a prophecy about him being defeated by Harry. Lily Potter (Harry’s mother) gave her life to protect Harry when he was 1 years old. Because of that act, Harry was provided the ultimate protection, causing Voldemort’s killing curse to backfire and hit himself instead. Harry had escaped the greatest dark wizard of all time with nothing
