Wands haven’t always been so easy to come by. Over the years I have made several with wooden dowels, hot glue, and a little paint. I remember having the top most wand with me at the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book at a Barnes & Noble. I think I held it while I read and cried through the last book of this series that meant so much to me. The middle wand I made at one of the best Harry Potter parties I have ever helped plan or participate in. It was a night I will never forget and I love that I have a wand to remember it by. The last wand I made recently, and when I looked at the three of them together, I realized how different they all were, yet how much they reflect not only me, but my immense love of this world.
