Zoe mentioned that in order to obtain a dragonheart
string you would proably have to kill the dragon, but
the wand that Ollivanders is talking about there is
not one he made. The wands that Ollivander makes
contain parts of a animals that could be "donated"
without the demise of the animal.

Eeyore.
P.S. I am new to this group...I have been looking for
a good one. Thanks for making me feel welcome.

I have no canon to back me, but I would be VERY
surprised if Ollivander were out there killing
unicorns to obtain a unicorn hair. Talk about a wand
for a evil wizard ... containing the hair of a unicorn
that was killed for a strand of unicorn hair.

More likely, I would propose, is that Ollivander
visits magical forests during the time of year when
unicorns shed a bit and picks up these stray

In "The Weighing of the Wands" Ollivander specifically
states that the  unicorn that provided Cedric's wand's
core "nearly gored me with his horn  after I plucked
his tail."  So there is no killing of the unicorns.

On the other hand, I can't see how to obtain a
dragon's heartstring without killing it.
