Katy:
> Wow, now that's a very good question indeed. A wand is not exactly a hand-
me-down as a robe would be. Do you think they make "better" wands that 
might be more expensive or hard to come by? Such as with the brooms...i 
wonder if there would be an equivalent "Firebolt" wand? Perhaps Charlie 
wanted one of those, so he gave his old wand to his brother. But that is purely 
speculative of course. I can't think of any reason in canon that would prompt 
him to do this.

Just one more idea and then I'll shut up for today (maybe): I wonder if Charlie 
had received a less than perfect wand for himself when he originally went to 
Hogwarts (perhaps it was on sale), so after graduation he purchased one for 
himself, and the "sale" wand was given to Ron, keeping it in the family.
