Harry Potter Challenge: Day 17

What would your wand be made of?

I took a test to see what my wand would be made of. Behold:
Length: 11 1/2 inches. Most wands will be in the range of between nine and fourteen inches. While I have sold extremely short wands (eight inches and under) and very long wands (over fifteen inches), these are exceptionally rare. In the latter case, a physical peculiarity demanded the excessive wand length. However, abnormally short wands usually select those in whose character something is lacking, rather than because they are physically undersized (many small witches and wizards are chosen by longer wands). Which means my personality is kind of weak, but I can be strong if  need to.
Wood: Acacia. Acacia is a kind of wood which only serves those who are truly gifted.
Core: Dragon. Powerful and temperamental.
Flexibility: Quite flexible. Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-owner pair - although, again, this factor ought not to be considered separately from the wand wood, core and length, nor of the owner’s life experience and style of magic, all of which will combine to make the wand in question unique.
See, this is what I love about Rowling. Her world is so consistant. Take a look at Voldy's own wand: 13 1/2 inches, yew, phoenix feather. Which makes him a man with a very strong personality, unusual and notorious, obsessed with life and death, dark, and with initiative. That does sound like Voldy, doesn't it?
