Okay I was reading this and not understanding a single word any of you say, and I gotta wonder, when we talk to non-Harry Potter fans, is that what we do to them?

All this concern about creating new spells, but as java is open-source, you could easily obtain/create a wand-java SDK, probably what Snape did in his free time. Then the possibilities are endless.

Very funny, but I personally think they'd be in a procedural language rather than OOP. Or at least Python opposed to Java.

Wow! Does anyone wonder how the magical element is inserted into the wood itself? Also, although any wand can do any spell, the books state the importance of practicing (as Harry did with summoning spells) any newly learned spell. Kind of inures your wand into getting used to performing that spell. Plus, on page 171 of SS Prof. Flitwick says you need the proper state of mind in order to successfully perform a spell/charm. I guess this is why you have differences in wand makers ss. I've read a few of the explaination books, " the End of Harry Potter?" and they seem right in line with the above start of this thread.

What is the core of the Elder Wand?

I thoroughly enjoyed this article on wands and them being a-kin to computers and internet language (I being a web designer myself) I also like apple computers as well. Keep up the good work!

Allenweeble and Luna Lovegood 4: Do you really think that would work. That would have to be tecchnology that isn't even from our time period. As amazing as that sounds, there is no way it could end up possibly working.
