My Wand

[Rita Winston]

Now I got onto the Ollivander's shop at the wb site. It didn't ask me 
any question except Which is my wand hand? (right) -- it didn't 
ask my height, weight, favorite color, or Hogwarts House. Then it 
tried me on a series of wands (each made a few sparks, which is more 
than all the wrong wands Harry tried did) and finally gave me Phoenix 
Feather, Redwood, 8.75 inches. (Hey, Brits, do modern young-uns think 
it quaint that Mr. Ollivander gives measurements in inches instead of 
centimeters?) I'm impressed against my will that they knew to give me 
redwood (which must have been magically treated, because otherwise 
redwood would disintegrate into a multitude of splinters in short 
order). I mean, it isn't pepperwood, but it is a california native.
