While rereading DH, I found it curious that Hermione lost her wand
when the trio gets caught and taken to Malfoy Manor. She never
recovers it and does not get a replacement wand which is loyal to her
(Bellatrix' wand is won by Ron and given to her). In fact she detests
the Bella wand. Does she still go on to fight the final battle with
that wand?
Ron, who also loses his wand at the Manor, uses Wormtail's wand, since
he has "won" it, just like Harry uses Draco's.
Finally, I found the acute shortage of wands a realistic touch to the
aftermath of Voldie's rule of terror.
