Wands in Hogwarts Legacy are special equipment that enable Wizards to cast Spells. Wands are not only weapons, as they can be used to perform many arts, from harmless showcasing to healing. they can also be used by the player's character to inflict damage against both Enemies and Bosses. Wands are the most common Weapon for Witches and Wizards in Hogwarts Legacy. Witches and Wizards can customize their own Wands in Hogwarts Legacy. It is yet to be determined if this change is only a cosmetic change or also changes the customized wand's properties. Such as increasing damage done, enhance certain Spell Types, or any other type of boost that they may receive from this customization.

Hogwarts Legacy Wand Components and Wood Type
There are 3 main components that define a Wand. These 3 components are: Wand Wood, Length and Rigidity or Flexibility, which can all be modified when selecting the wood type. They represent different aspects or sides of the Wand as a whole that reflect, in many ways, the personality of the Wizard or Witch that wields it.
Wand Wood
Various types of woods can be used in the construction of wands. There are at least 42 known Woods that can be used for the creation of Wands. Many of them have only been mentioned in distinct works regarding the wizarding world, while others, like Harry Potter's correspond to certain dates within the Celtic calendar, as well as some properties commonly associated to commonly repelling evil. On the other hand, Lord Voldemort's Wand is associated with Yew, and symbolizes death, as well as containing a poisonous sap.
Length
Wands length ranges from 9 to 15 inches long in most cases. There are cases of wands that fall short or surpass these parameters. Dolors Umbridge's wand is 8 inches and, while Rubeus Hagrid's wand is 16 inches.
Although there is a popular belief that long wands should match the height of the wielder, renowned wandmaker Garrick Ollivander considers this false and inaccurate. In his experience, longer wands to be drawn by bigger personalities, while shorter ones prefer to choose whose character lacks in something.
Flexibility
The wand flexibility (or rigidity), denotes the grade of adaptability and willingness to change, that both the wand and owner possess. This factor is not to be measured on its own, but rather than a combination of all other three elements of a wand (Length, Core, Wood), as well as the owner's life experience, preferred style of magic, etc. The Flexibility can range from Quite Bendy to Unyielding.
The combination of this cocktail of ingredients, make each and every wand unique in their own way.
Wand Cores Hogwarts Legacy
All wands require a magical core that main purpose is to enhance the magical capabilities of the wood or may improve certain characteristics. It is widely known in the Wizarding World that the Wand Core has a significant influence on the personality of the wand. In Hogwarts Legacy, the renowned wandmaker Garrick Ollivander only works with three cores and refuses to use certain ones, such as Veela Hair because it makes "temperamental" wands. The three available Cores in Hogwarts Legacy include the Dragon Heartstring, Unicorn Hair, and Phoenix Feather. Lore states that these core elements will affect the effectiveness of your wand and give it unique qualities such as consistent handling, faithfulness the ability to cast Dark Arts magic, and temperament upon use. Besides this, many Wizards and Witches decided to bring magical substances to which they felt a particular attachment. If two wands have a core that comes from the same source. like was the case with Harry Potter's and Lord Voldemort's wands, they are considered brothers. Hogwarts Legacy only features three out of the many known Wand Cores known in the Wizarding World. The following cores will be available during wand selection:
Dragon Heartstring
Known for producing powerful magic.
Unicorn hair
Known for producing consistent magic.
Phoenix feather
Capable of producing a great range of magic.

Hogwarts Legacy Wandlore and Wandcraft
Hogwarts Legacy Wandlore
Wandlore refers to the ancient magic that deals with anything related to wands. Be it history, actions, and abilities or any other type of study regarding Wands. Renowned Wandmakers such as Garrick Ollivander or Gregorovitch, dedicated their life to the study of Wands.
Wandlore Origins
Ancient wizards, more than 2,000 years ago, may have been the first explorers of these studies. As any other study or ongoing research, as time goes on many mysteries start to unravel after many experimentations.
Wandlore Studies
Becoming a Wandmaker is no easy task. After completing magical education, whoever that wants to become a wandmaker must first be taken as an apprentice by an already established and skilled Wandmaker. After this first step is completed, the study of wand lore may begin. Although not confirmed, it is possible that gatherings regarding wandlore and related topics have been held by scholars of the subject to share discoveries regarding their studies.
Through many studies, it has been discovered that wands are quasi-sentient tools. They even choose which Wizard or Witch will wield them, making this a decision by the wands themselves and not a random event. The composition of Wands, such as their wood, length, and any other properties, is strictly related, in one way or another, to the Wizard or Witch they decide to align themselves with.
Hogwarts Legacy Wandmakers
Wandmakers are the persons who create and construct Wands for Wizards and Witches. This practice, creating and making a wand from the ground up, is called Wandcraft. Shops that specialize in Wandmaking have been around for many years, dating back to at least 382 BC, when the Ollivanders Wand Shop was set up.
In older times, it was a common practice for the purchaser of a wand to provide their own core for it. Through many years of wandmaking, this practice has changed and nowadays, modern wandmakers such as Garrick Ollivander, provide their own cores as part of their services.
