> Also interesting to me--Ollivander says in GoF that he doesn't use Veela hair as a wand core because Veela-hair wands tend to be "temperamental"--more testimony from Ollivander that wands have personalities. (I suspect that Fleur's wand was made for her rather than choosing her. I'd have liked to see Harry trying to use it so we could see how a "temperamental" wand performs--or fails to perform.)

Magpie:
It doesn't necessarily mean they have personalities like humans do. People often refer to machines as being tempermental. I assumed Ollivander just means that he doesn't find Veela hair to be reliable enough as a wand core. (I also get a subtle, unfortunate sexist connotation.)
