Hadn't given it much thought before now to be honest Shady 2, each design just seemed to fit the characters well enough that I didn't stop to consider just how important an aspect of the game world it is. Love seeing the decisions that shaped each of the wand's designs, from temperament to standing, worldview and country origin, everything has some small impact on where and how they are presented.
I suppose if anything I enjoy Gwen's wand a bit more than some of the others (shocking I know, given my prior admitted preference for Elizabeth and Lily) due to its simple no-nonsense design, utility above all else. It actually reminds me of the wand that Pottermore assigned me when I took the tests on-site a fair few years ago, elder wood with a phoenix feather core, 10.75 inches and unyielding in its flexibility. Basically reflects how much of a stubborn and frank person I tend to be I suppose.
Pleasure seeing your thought process again Shady 2, shows that there's a hell of a lot more to making a game of this caliber visually than just being able to draw a pretty face. Looking forward to the next blog already, tell Shady 1 I said hey.
