wand was either, it wasn't until the third book, when he had to get a
new one thanks to the tree in the second book, that we find out what
his new one is. <snip>

Carol:
My apologies for responding to a minor aside rather than to your main
point, but we do learn that both Ron's original wand and his new one
have a unicorn hair core. The second quotation isn't relevant here,
but here's the first:

"He [Ron] rummaged in his trunk and pulled out a very battered looking
wand. It was chipped in places and something white was glinting at the
end. 'Unicorn hair's nearly poking out. Anyway--'" (SS Am. ed. 105).

The wand was formerly Charlie's (100), which perhaps explains the
rough usage. It's replaced in PoA by another with a similar core.
Whether the wood is the same as well, we don't know. The length could
also be different.

P.S. As to the core of Hermione's wand, which as you said in a snipped
portion of the post, we don't know, there are of course only three
possibilities. Since Ron's is a unicorn hair and Harry's is a Phoenix
feather, I think it's a safe bet that Hermione's is a dragon's
heartstring.
