In the movies the wands have a handle. All the shops I've seen online
that sell wands as HP merchandise also seem to give the wands handles.

However, in book 4, during the wand weighing, I remember Harry feeling
embarassed about the finger marks all over his wand, which is
suggestive of a handless wand (albeit, it's not 100%). If I remember
correctly, there was a Wizard of the Month on Rowling's website who
held a wand and it had a handle.

Since the finger marks on Harry's wand in book four could come from
just day to day handling of the wand while it's shuffled around with
other school things as opposed to holding it while spellcasting, I
guess the safer assumption is that wands have handles.
