Harry Potter: Wizards Unite - Wand Selection

Being a wizard simply means that you need to acquire a wand. But choosing a wand has never be an easy job as you see in the first chapter of the Harry Potter franchise. In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, you are required to select a wand of your own in order to cast stronger and stable spell to collect the Foundables.


There are several factors in choosing a wand.



Wand's Wood Type:

  • Acacia

Peculiarly temperamental, Acacia often refuses to produce magic for any but their owner.

Unyielding, it prefers owners that are helpful and considerate. Alder is best suited for non-verbal spellwork.

To properly bond with a Blackthorn wand, its wielder needs to pass through danger or great hardship.

Perception and cleverness pair well with Cedar Wood and owners carry the potential to become a frightening adversary.

Wands made of Ebony are suited for combative magic, as well as Transfiguration and serve those who hold fast to their belief.

Prefers owners with a single pure passion, and will adapt to its owner’s style of magic, making it difficult for others to use.

Tricky to handle and harder than most to please. Larch wands will gravitate to those that might not realize their considerable talents.

Silver Lime wands are known to perform best for Seers and Ligilimens, and were in vogue in the 19th century.

Not for the nervous or cautious, Spruce wands work best with a bold spellcaster with a firm hand.

Eager for adventure and an owner that is curious and vital, Sycamore wands will lose their brilliance if used for mundane tasks.

As a less commonly used wood, Vine wands match well with those that have hidden depth and seek a greater purpose.

  • Walnut

Walnut wands are often paired with highly intelligent owners, and will perform any task desired by its wielder, as long as they are sufficiently brilliant.

Seeks those with great potential and some insecurity. Willow wands healing powers, and are good for non-verbal magic.

  • Yew

Yew wands will find their ideal match with the unusual and notorious, and are reputed to give its user the power of life and death.


Wand's Core Type:

  • Dragon Heartstring

Produces the wands with the most power, and the quickest to learn new spells. However, they can change allegiance if won from their master, and are the most prone to accidents.

  • Unicorn Hair

Produces the most consistent magic, and the most faithful of all wands. They do not make the most powerful wands, but the wood they are paired with can compensate for this.

Now here is the important notice. In this game, it does not matter which kind of wand are you choosing. It's all up to your own preferences as it will not affect the gameplay no matter which kind of wand you chose. As for me, I just picked the same type of wand which Harry Potter uses in the franchise: holly wood, phoenix feather core, "reasonably supple" flexibility, 11 inches.
