If Ron could go buy a new wand, then certainly anyone else can and
certainly there are many places other then Diagon Alley you can buy
one.  Other countries you can get them in too where they would not even
know that Hagrid was expelled (in a British Magic School, so how would a
wand shop in say, China know?) or that Sirius was in Azkaban (maybe he
got that new wand down south where those big colorful birds were that he
used for owl post).  We always assume they are still using their
original wands for some reason.  Maybe because Voldemort still has his,
but Ron certainly has a new one after breaking his, so wands CAN be
replaced.
