Like other posters, I've also been thinking about Fawkes' role in
the books but I have different questions. I've used the infamously
inaccurate Yahoo search, looked through "Fantastic Posts" and the HP
Lexicon but can't find the exact answers I'm looking for. Hopefully,
someone in our group can point me in the right direction.
After re-reading GoF, my questions are specifically about phoenix
feathers. I'd like to know:
*When did Fawkes drop the feathers that were used in LV and HP's
wands? Did Fawkes leave one feather back in the 30s for the wand of
Tom Riddle then drop another later? Or, were both dropped at the
same time, the "brother wands" created then, one given to Tom and
the other kept in storage for the right owner?
*According to the Lexicon, Fawkes came with the office when
Dumbledore became Headmaster. When did DD know his bird gave the
feather for LV's wand and did he know there was a brother wand out
there? If the second wand was created later (perhaps after the
prophecy) did DD order Ollivander to keep the wand until the boy
named in the prophecy came along?
*Speaking of Ollivander, how does he come into possession of these
specific feathers?
I don't know if there are answers to these questions. Forgive me if
they've all been asked before. Truth be told, I joined HPfGU a
little while ago but I'm a lurker who checks the messages only
periodically. Any info would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dally
