Enjoy!Summary: The problem of the twin cores obstructed Voldemort when he was trying to kill Harry. Because their wand cores came from the same bird, Harry and Voldemort getting brother wands was a mystery to all. To figure out this problem, let's look at some wand cores. The phoenix feather core is considered the rarest of wand cores. It also has the widest range of magical ability. However, it does take a little longer to master and has a mind of its own. The wand could cast spells without a person using it. For this reason, it isn't the most popular of choices. So how could Voldemort manage to get a wand like that? Let's not forget he was little Tom Riddle at the time. And it could be possible that Tom might benefit from a wand like that. Tom was unusually powerful for a wizard his age, after all. But Tom Riddle turned evil. Why did the wand still work? And why did Harry pick its brother?  There are many reasons why this could be the case. Voldemort might have modified his wand beyond the point of it being the same wand he chose when he was eleven. The only problem with this is there is no changing the fact that the wand he got when he was eleven will always be the same wand. Right? Wrong. The only other possibility is the cores actually aren't as similar as we all thought. I still do think the cores came from the same entity, but not the same bird. The Ship Theory is similar to this. If you replace every part of a ship, is it still the same ship? You still own the ship, but the same one? This theory could apply to the phoenix. When a phoenix dies, it bursts into flame and is reborn from the ashes. If it is born over and over again, its personality might change. Tom Riddle got his wand a long time before Harry. If Fawks changed a little bit over fifty transformations, he wouldn't be the same bird. That might solve our mystery. The wands seemed so different because they were.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.com [email protected]
