KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Gregorovitch is a famous European wandmaker – he seems to be the equivalent of Mr. Ollivander, and even made Viktor Krum’s wand. He’s rumored to have been a possessor of the Elder Wand (a rumor that he started, mind you), but he actually only had it for a short while, until the young Grindelwald stole it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Garrick Ollivander (b. 25 September pre-1909) was a half-blood wizard who was the proprietor of Ollivanders in Diagon Alley during most of the 20th century. Ollivander was widely considered the best wandmaker in the world, and many wizards and witches bought their wands from him.

Detailed explanation-3: -Having retrieved this memory, Voldemort then kills Gregorovitch. At the end of the book, it is revealed that the object that Gregorovitch had owned and which had been stolen from him was the Elder Wand or the Deathstick, a legendary wand that could not be defeated in a duel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mr Ollivander is arguably the finest maker of wands in the world, and many foreigners travel to London to purchase one of his wands in preference to those on offer in their native lands.
