this character and would hate to see him doing terrible things under 
the imperious curse. There's only a quick mention of his 
disappearance in HPB.

I think that Voldesnort or one of his rotten little cronies has 
kidnapped him in an effort to fix the problem with the two Phoenix 
feather wands, or maybe they've taken him purely because he knows 
too much--- like what everyone's wands are good for, and what they 
are capable of doing. OR MAYBE it is the key to what will happen in 
Book 7! "


CH3ed:
I agree with Hickengruendler. I think Mr. O went into hiding from LV 
and his DEs with the aid of Albus Dumbledore (who offered the same 
service to Draco on the Tower). 

DD was very good at anticipating what LV wanted to do, and so DD 
must have realized when Harry told him of the priori incantatem 
effect in the graveyard scene (GoF), that LV must have been alerted 
then to the fact that his and Harry's wands share a core. DD then 
knew that would put Mr. O the wand-maker in trouble with LV. The way 
Bill told it in HBP, Mr. O's shop showed no sign of struggle (quite 
unlike Florean Fortescue's shop) so that they couldn't tell if Mr. O 
left voluntarily or not. He just vanished. At any rate, if Mr. O has 
been hiding with the aid of DD, DD hadn't told it to his OotP since 
Bill and Lupin don't know. But that is neither evidence for or 
against considering DD's aptitude in keeping secrets and not telling 
anyone more than DD thought they should know.

 I think Mr. O is quite a smart man all by himself.... his 
unblinking grey eyes stick in my head quite a bit (like Luna's). So 
I'm betting he went into hiding very competently (letting DD know of 
it but nobody else, pretty much). I don't think he has gone to LV's 
side since he seems to have a good relationship with DD (sent DD an 
owl to inform him of Harry's purchase of the second wand, was 
employed to examine the wands at Triwizard Tournament... and kept 
quiet about Harry's wand in front of others). 

CH3ed  :O) Would love to have Mr. Ollivander hide out at my house... 
and make me a wand that'd keep my cat from using the sofa as a claw 
sharpener.
