Regarding Assumption2, pushing my black-framed glasses up my nose with an


index finger. I'll pick the wand.

I think that is the elder wand. When Albus Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945 in their famous duel, mastery of the Elder Wand passed to Dumbledore; however, when Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore in the astronomy tower and Dumbledore subsequently fell to his death, Draco Malfoy became the master of the Elder Wand unintentionally. Note that the wand was buried in a tomb along with the body of Albus Dumbledore.

Draco Malfoy had no idea what he had done. Later when Harry Potter physically bests Draco Malfoy and forcibly takes Malfoy's wand, Harry became the master of the Elder Wand even though the actual physical wand had been entombed. Dumbledore's grave was decimated by Voldemort and Voldemort was now using the stolen wand. However, because Voldemort did not gain possession of the wand by winning it, the wand had no allegiance to him.

When the Elder Wand is used by Voldemort to cast the killing curse on Harry, it doesn't react as it should and Harry realizes that he is the true master. Harry, still using Malfoy's wand because his own was broken in a previous battle, is able to kill Voldemort because he has control of both wands.

I want the stinking wand.

Tucks hair behind ear and pushes glasses back up my nose.
