zanooda:

Thank you for accepting my corrections :-). I want to say that I 
wasn't really trying to check your story for consistency with canon - 
I just thought it was a funny and fresh idea. But you are right, we 
should always perform the consistency check :-). Constant vigilance :-
)! 

Now seriously, I can't think of anything in the books that 
contradicts your idea (maybe someone else can :-)). OTOH, I also 
don't remember anything that comfirms your idea, except for the fact 
that Hagrid's wand is the longest mentioned in the books - 16 inches.

Typically lengths of the wands are in the range from 7 inches (one of 
the wands offered by Olly to Harry) to 13 and a half inches (LV's 
wand). But we still can't be sure that Hagrid's wand was custom-made 
for him, because we don't know how uncommon 16-inch wands are - if 
only one is mentioned, it doesn't mean there are no others :-).
