Given that I am a mere Ersatz Harry, I guess I'd have to say that my
wand is a pipe cleaner encased in plastic.  A bit springy, nice wand
for mild deception, so long as it's in good fun.  I was a little short
on cash and bought it from the Weasley twins.  You don't suppose it's
one of those trick ones, do you?  So far, at least, it has not turned
into fish or fowl.  But I cough up a couple of canary feathers every
time I use it.

On a less silly topic, does it not seem possible that the title Order
of the Phoenix refers to a group of wizards who are given new wands
with Fawkes' feathers in them?  Not everyone can have one, of course
-- but if such a wand chooses you, then you get recruited into a more
direct fight against Voldemort.  No doubt this has been discussed
before, but I haven't noticed it in the archives.
