It's likely that wand-makers would know this trick. They’re rare, them.’Īlthough unicorn hair is apparently quite expensive to purchase commercially, it's relatively easy to get hold of if you have ready access to a unicorn forest. An’ see here – how ter recognise diff’rent eggs – what I got there’s a Norwegian Ridgeback. Keep the egg in the fire, ’cause their mothers breathe on ’em, see, an’ when it hatches, feed it on a bucket o’ brandy mixed with chicken blood every half hour. ‘Got this outta the library – Dragon-Breeding for Pleasure and Profit – it’s a bit outta date, o’ course, but it’s all in here. ![]() ‘Well, I’ve bin doin’ some readin’,’ said Hagrid, pulling a large book from under his pillow. Dragons themselves are not hard to breed (if one follows the appropriate instructions and has somewhere fireproof to keep them) and it seems likely that their heartstrings are simply a commodity item since they can be bred " for pleasure and profit". Similarly, the wood used is fairly mundane and can be obtained at no cost, merely requiring the collector to know what to look for, or by purchasing it from specialist providers.Īlthough dragon-breeding is outlawed in Britain, it seems to be pretty common overseas. In terms of the cores that Ollivander prefers, dragon heartstrings are likely to be relatively inexpensive if bought from the right (overseas) suppliers and unicorn hair and phoenix feathers can be picked up for free if one knows the correct locations. ![]() You've fundamentally over-estimated the potential cost of the materials required to make a wand. I'm really surprised Harry doesn't carry a few wands as they are really cheap for such rare materials. Thousands of narrow boxes piled neatly right up to the ceiling.Įach of the thousands of wands would be really rare and hard to make and they cost only 7 galleons. If Ollivander uses one hair for a wand, how would the wand cost less than the hair? Not long after this, Hagrid became tearful again and pressed the whole unicorn tail upon Slughorn, who pocketed it with cries of, "To friendship! To generosity! To ten Galleons a hair!" Ollivander says:Ĭontaining a single hair from the tail of a particularly fine male unicorn.must have been seventeen hands nearly gored me with his horn after I plucked his tail.įor ultimate proof- Slughorn says he can sell a hair of a unicorn for 10 Galleons. Phoenixes are extremely rare animals, and the only Phoenix we know about gave only 2 feathers. You need at least 20 people for that, as demonstrated in GOF. It would be extremely hard to catch a dragon, and even harder to kill it. ![]() Then you need to get to a right tree, bribe a Bowtruckle for some wood, put some magic into it, and add the core.
