Geoff:

'He shook his head and then, to Harry's relief, spotted Hagrid.
"Rubeus! Rubeus Hagrid! How nice to see you again... Oak, sixteen 
inches, rather bendy, wasn't it?"
"It was, sir, yes," said Hagrid.
"Good wand, that one. But I suppose they snapped it in half when you 
got expelled?" said Mr.Ollivander, suddenly stern.
"Er - yes, they did, yes," said Hagrid, shuffling his feet. "I've 
still got the pieces though," he added brightly.
"But you don't use them?" said Mr.Ollivander sharply.
"Oh no, sir," said Hagrid quickly. Harry noticed he gripped his pink 
umbrells very tightly as he spoke.'
