He felt it drag his hand around like some great magnet…” (DH, 61). At first, when Harry is escaping from Privet Drive, he has a strange experience with his wand when Voldemort is about to kill him, “his wand acted of its own accord. The Deathly Hallows is the book in which wands play the most important part. He sees the phantoms of the people Voldemort had killed with that wand and they then surround Voldemort which allows Harry to break the connection, get to the port-key, and escape back to Hogwarts. As he holds the connection with Voldemort, Harry is saved by what comes out of Voldemort’s wand. Voldemort shouts “Avada Kedavra” while Harry shouts “Expelliarmus” at the same time and their wands become linked. The importance of the connection between Harry’s and Voldemort’s wands that we learned about in The Sorcerer’s Stone becomes very important when they meet in the graveyard. We see the importance of a wand that is made well and works properly. Each champion for the Tri-Wizard Tournament must have his or her wand “weighed” to ensure that it works and is not jinxed to help or hinder the champion.
