Passport Analysis

So I’m trying to start doing passport analyses for the wizarding world website so I’m gonna start with myself and would love for people to send me theirs so I can continue researching the world.

House

Slytherin

Of course Slytherins are Ambitious and Cunning. We will find any way to turn a situation to our advantage. We are very proud people and when something does offend us, we will not retaliate outright (Like a Gryffindor) and would rather store that information until 1. We can either get our revenge and not get caught, or 2. Use it to our advantage. Very few things will get us to start a fight in the light when we haven’t anticipated the outcomes. We are very ambitious and determined, and once we have a goal in mind, we will stop at nothing to reach that goal (unless the tides change and we change that goal). We also very charming and can make many friends. Whether they be true friends or acquaintances that we can connect with to get closer to our goal, is to be determined.

Patronus

Rattlesnake

Rattlesnakes will not attack until it is absolutely necessary. While fierce, they would rather wait for an opening to attack rather than charge right in. When they do attack, they are fast and deadly. They will use that opening to their advantage, and as soon as it is gone, they will retreat to prevent further harm to themselves. They will ensure they have control of the situation, and once they lose that control, they will know when to flee rather than fight.

Another symbol that can be seen within the snake is transformation. Shedding their skin and becoming new. In us, this can be seen as knowing when we need to let go of a past version of ourselves and not being afraid to move forward to a newer better version.

Wand

Holly and Phoenix Feather Core, 12 1/2 inches, Unbending Flexibility

Holly

Holly is a rare type of wood used in wands due to its volatility. It is considered a protective wood, and works well with people who need help overcoming a tendency towards anger. It varies drastically depending on the core, and is hard to team with a Phoenix feather due to the detached nature of the creature. If done improperly, it can tend to explode. If they do match, nothing and no one will stand in their way. It is extremely loyal, and very temperamental. But those who are chosen by this kind of wand are said to be on some kind of spiritual quest. There are also wizards tales of those with Holly wants being romantically incompatible with those with Oak wands, notably “When his wand’s oak and her’s is holly, then to marry would be folly.” Also, according to European tradition, the “holy” tree is known to repel evil. This type of wand is for those seeking to be a major player in the history books, someone who would loathe being forgotten with time. They seek to contribute to society and would not be happy with a 9-5 job.

Phoenix Feather Core

The rarest core type. A very detached core and hard to earn the loyalty of. Extremely picky with who they choose. This can be transferred to the owners in slipping in and out of friend groups. This core is capable of the greatest range of magic but will not show its true capabilities until is trust is won. Once it is won, the wand will not waver in its loyalty to its owner. Even after it’s owners death, the wand will not act for another easily. Also the most initiative of the wand cores, and will act on its own accord in stressful situations. The owners tend to be very intuitive and will trust their gut more so than other people sometimes.

12 1/2 inches, Unbending

Longer wands, 11-14 inches, tend to be drawn towards those with large personalities and dramatic styles. Or those who, frankly, are tall. Longer wands tend to have more power, but less control. These wands work well for those who are selfless. The wands flexibility goes towards adaptability and a willingness for change. Once a wand of this flexibility adapts to its owner’s preferences, it will not change. Owners tend to be very confident in themselves and the things they believe in. The owners can be seen as arrogant for their insistence that they are right and will rarely admit when they are wrong. These wand owners are determined and set in their ways.

So yeah, this is what my research on my passport has determined! I had a ton of fun researching these and would love to do more!

I am going to Harry Potter trivia tonight for the first time EVER and I am so excited and also terrified that my obsessive knowledge will not be enough.

Found this old pic of “my wand” from when Pottermore was a thing. Got me feeling a little nostalgic.

English Oak A wand for good times and bad, this is a friend as loyal as the wizard who deserves it. Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity. Less well-known is the propensity for owners of English oak wands to have powerful intuition, and, often, an affinity with the magic of the natural world, with the creatures and plants that are necessary to wizardkind for both magic and pleasure.

Phoenix This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

Makes for an adaptable and reliable wand

I am a Ravenclaw/Thunderbird who has a dapple grey stallion patronus. My wand is 10 in alder wood phoenix feather core that is slightly springy. Who's wand do i have and what does this all mean?

hello! your wand is unique to you! from cursory searches, i couldn’t find any characters from the books who have the same wand, although Professor Quirrell did have an alder wand - but with a unicorn hair core instead of phoenix feather. 

alder wood makes for an interesting kind of wand because the wood itself is unyielding but it often likes to match itself to witches & wizards who are a bit more complementary to that rather than unyielding themselves. as such, alder wands often match to witches and wizards who are likeable and helpful. in my mind, i see alder wands matching to people who want to be part of a greater cause, but don’t necessarily feel the need to bear the burden of being the leader of the group. 

your wand’s core is phoenix feather, the rarest core, and the core whose allegiance is hardest to win. combined with alder wood, which makes for a wand that wants to perform well and help its witch or wizard partner, i think the more stubborn aspects of phoenix feather core wands would be sort of equalized or negated with your wand, making it helpful and intuitive. Alder wands are also the best at performing non-verbal spells, which makes me believe that your wand would tend to produce magic that it less flashy or grandiose, but would still appear to be very powerful to others. 

as for your other wand qualities - i think you’re probably very capable of getting up when you’re knocked down and that you learn from your and other’s mistakes. are you shorter than average? your height could be reflected in your wand as well, since it is definitely a smaller wand :) 

the ravenclaw/thunderbird combination to me is a ravenclaw who is not only smart, witty, all the things a Ravenclaw can be, but that you are good at applying those skills and talents in your everyday life - they are driven by their intuition and can be highly interested in a variety of subjects. 

the stallion patronuses represent someone who i feel is very capable of protecting themselves, but when they need extra help, they might look to a social group or network or a few close friends for support. the dapple gray horse is a stylish one and the coloring of it suggest to me an inner need to do good or be good, and perhaps with a flair for the dramatics.

Hi! I'm a Thunderbird Ravenclaw with an eagle patronus and a redwood with Phoenix feather 10 3/4 inches and hard flexibility

something that i think really gets overlooked as far as wandlore is concerned is the flexibility of wands. i’ve taken the wand test a dozen times and while my wand wood and core are always different, i almost always get a brittle flexibility wand. Don’t you think it’s interesting? Your wand is a hard flexibility, which I think means you’re a bit more steadfast in your beliefs and ideas, etc. 

redwood! this wand type is usually matched with people who appear to be lucky. i know people like this irl - people who have good gut feelings, good intuition. it looks like luck to other people. :) and combine that with a phoenix feather core, and I think it would make for a witch or a wizard who is broadly accomplished - well rounded, even. 

taking it a step further, i think this wand combination works really well with Ravenclaw and Thunderbird; it’s almost like a combination of the two, since the phoenix feather core could definitely represent Ravenclaw in its ability to take on a wide range of magic, and Thunderbird goes along nicely with redwood & its sort of adventurous side. :)
