bboy_mn replies:
Nothing happens to their old wands; they keep them. Remember any
wizard can use any wand, but you get better result with a well matched
wand.

bboy_mn responds:
Don't have a clue. I think once you have your original wand, then any
wand after that is either a replacement for a lost wand, or a wand the
is especially good in some particular area of magic. Like the Fawkes
feather wands may not be great for general purpose magic, but they may
give you a specific advantage when you meet Voldemort face-to-face.

If a wand is lost or broken, I think you can still find a good match
between you and another wand. I don't think it's like your one true
love; there are other wands that will be a good match, and it should
be easier to narrow down the match since you already have some idea of
the type of wand you are likely to match.

bboy_mn replies:
Like I said above, any wand will do, although a matched wand will do
better. They will be perfectly able to do acceptable powerful magic
with these wands, and they will have the brother effect advantage, but
you are right, they will not be as generally powerful are their
original wands.

bboy_mn concludes:
Remember, I acknowledged that this theory has a few weak spots, but I
still like it.
