Given what Ollivander says about having full control over a wand either by the wand choosing them or by them taking the wand by force from its true owner. If all this is true, then how can Ron Weasleys first wand, which belonged to an older brother, truly work for him as a wand should. So maybe he is a much better wizard than the first book gives him credit for.
the thing is, why would ron's older brothers have a spare wand? people seem to keep their wands until they are broken or they die. _________________ how tough am i? well, i'll have you know i stubbed my toe last week (while watering my spice garden), and i only cried for 20 minutes!

Mr and Mrs Weasley could have bought him a new one for being Head Boy or Quidditch Captain or something.
And you can channel magic through any wand. Because it was his brothers, he had a connection with it. _________________ Yas and Simmy - putting Luna on catwalks since 2008!
but it seems like people love their wands, y'know? once they finally select one, that is. maybe one of his brothers selected one that wasn't working well with him, and they needed a different one. _________________ how tough am i? well, i'll have you know i stubbed my toe last week (while watering my spice garden), and i only cried for 20 minutes!
or perhaps it wasn't the brother's wand either...but one that gets used until they can afford to buy a good one. _________________ They say home is where the heart is, so your real home's in your chest. --Captain Hammer
Stephanie: If the wand chooses the wizard, then why do wands work when passed down from father to son eg neville had his fathers wand
J.K. Rowling: As established by Ollivander, a wizard can use almost any wand, it is simply that a wand that chooses him/her will work best. Where there is a family connection, a wand will work a little better than a wand chosen at random, I think.
I beg you to read the rest of that chat, she answers a lot of questions people ask on here. _________________ Blame it on a simple twist of fate ~ Bob Dylan Team Cucumber, FTW!
