Charlie's wand

If this has been mentioned here before, please just direct me in the right 
direction. It probably has. :x Anyway, do we know how people get new wands. 
Do they have to have something wrong with the old one to get another? Do we 
know anything besides that Ron got a new one because his old one broke?

I'm just asking because "Ron's" old wand was Charlie's. Does that mean 
Charlie doesn't have one or was he able to get an new one. This has been 
bothering me forever! Any ideas? Is there anything in the books I'm missing 
that could explain this better?


Also, could anyone tell me what page in CoS this question is talking about:
In Chamber of Secrets Dumbledore says Voldemort is the last surviving 
ancestor of Salazar Slytherin.  How can this be true?
 There are later editions in which the word “ancestor” has been changed to 
“descendent” and others that have not been changed.  

 

This was an error, but there is mixed views on how this will be handled by 
the author.
