KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -When, at 11 years old, Harry first visits Ollivander’s he tests many, many wands until he finds the one that performs for him (the wand chooses the wizard and whatnot): an 11-inch holly and with a phoenix feather core.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ollivander, after trying out many wands, sells Harry an 11-inch holly wand with a phoenix feather core. This wand’s core happens to contain one of only two feathers donated by a particular phoenix. Harry is disconcerted when Ollivander tells him it is the same phoenix whose feather lies within Lord Voldemort’s wand.

Detailed explanation-3: -So when Harry ended up being chosen by his phoenix wand-Ollivander expressed it as being intriguing and interesting since both these two wands were the only ones to have a phoenix feather from the same bird-Fawkes. A bird which incidentally belonged to Dumbledore.

Detailed explanation-4: -Harry acquired his powerful wand at Ollivanders shop in Diagon Alley which was made with unique holly wood with a phoenix feather core.

Detailed explanation-5: -Harry took the wand and (feeling foolish) waved it around a bit, but Mr Ollivander snatched it out of his hand almost at once.
