Some quick wand designs for merlin characters if they were in the harry potter universe, requested by vanhelsing019. I tried *flails*

I got really into thinking about the types of wood they’d have for their wands, and did some reading on this pottermore wiki page about different types and what they mean. Here are my personal headcanons:

Merlin: English Oak. “Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity. It is said that Merlin’s wand was of English oak (though his grave has never been found, so this cannot be proven).”

Arthur: Blackthorn. “Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior. The wands made from this wood appear to need to pass through danger or hardship with their owners to become truly bonded.”

Gwen: Pear. “This golden-toned wood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise”

Morgana: Aspen. “Aspen wand owners are generally strong-minded and determined, more likely than most to be attracted by quests and new orders; this is a wand for revolutionaries.”

(Other headcanons include Dogwood for Gwaine, Vine for Mordred, Yew for Nimueh, Laurel for Lancelot)
