Surely you'd have to try it out first.  (snip)> The wand and the

Tonks here:
I think that the free with purchase wand that Order of Merlin.com 
has is for beginners. And a beginner can really use any wand. As you 
know from the HP books, some young wizards use hand-me-downs. As to 
more advanced students and adult wizards, when ones buys a wand by 
internet, you and the wand connect by your intuition. (Time and 
space mean nothing to a wizard.) You just sort of *know*. The 
witches and wizard on this list will understand what I am saying. ;-)

You actually use a wand? I have one(Harry's from Alivan's) but just 
as a collectors item.

Tonks here:
I have many wands from many vendors. Some are part of my collection 
to look at and admire, and some are to carry in my robe. Hummm
..  
is it possible that you are a Muggle? Or do you just do wandless 
magic??  My favorite to use wand is the Master's wand from Order of 
Merlin. I love it. Heard it calling my name. Core is Phoenix tear. 
Very rare. (Each wand is handmade so each is somewhat different. No 
2 are 100% alike.)
