bboy_mn:

Now you are inviting me to jump into one of my favorite subject, one
in which I have a great many theories, but since these have all been
posted numerous times, I will try to keep it short. [If you want to
know more, search for 'bboy_mn wands' and you will find lots of posts.]

I don't believe a wand is a sentient beings; they do not have
intellectual capability. Therefore, wands do not make intellectual or
moral choices  when selecting a wizard. They simply match; nothing
more, nothing less.

The basic version of my theory is that a wands components are match to
a particular and unique magical resonance, and when a wand matches a
wizard, they simply have a shared magical harmonic resonance.

So, whether the wizard that matches a given wand is good or evil, tall
or short, fat or thin, powerful or weak is all irrelavant. They either
share a resonance or they don't. 

By extention, the key to the Art of wand making, is matching the
magical resonace of the components of a wand; wood, size, shape,
color, and core as closely as possible. The more closely the
components are matched to each other, and the more closely the overal
wand matches the wizard, the more powerful the wand will be.

Just a thought.
