But my wand is actually holly w/a phoenix feather core...

Your Score: 12", Holly, Dragon

You scored 42 wisdom, 38 bravery, 21 emotional, and 11 martyrdom!

Holly is a powerful protective wood that good for use against evil, but it also represents dreams and fertility. Your dragon's heartstring core makes your wand very effective in hexes.

I poured over those Whimsic Alley ones (and Allivan's too, I think?) before choosing this one last year based on the traits:
This wand was handcrafted using principles handed down by over 136 generations of skilled wand makers. It was carved from the wood of an eternal oak tree from the bleeding forest. At its core is the feather of a phoenix. The Holly Wand will select a witch or wizard based on a variety of traits including, among others, boldness, impulsiveness and integrity.

...er, I don't know why it says it was carved from an oak tree when it's a *Holly Wand*. . . .hmm.


I've still been reading livejournal. I'm going to TRY to just read anderloads from here on out, 'cause more and more people are talking about seeing spoilers and I'm afraid...

lol, everyone seems to be getting a longer wand than me.

Maybe the Holly bled onto the oak tree though that still makes no sense.

And yeah, I'm thinking of maybe shutting myself offline a day early with that NYtimes review being out. I'm really nervous.

It's not the length... :p

Yeah, I have no clue. I'm guessing it's a mistake, since I remember from wand shopping that all of the descriptions mentioned "the bleeding forest"...so maybe the first half of all the wand descriptions were exactly the same and the web/certificate of authenticity peeps just didn't bother changing the first part to match the wand...?

Oh man, I don't go looking for reviews! Those are sure to come out a bit early, y'know?

About the okcupid wand--I *do* think it's funny that it mentioned dreams, since I have soooo many insane ones.

Hey, lazy works as long as people buy. I'm guessing they didn't bother to change it but that's a rather big mistake.

And I saw the news about the review on Mugglenet. They have a link to it but I'm staying from it. My friend went and looked but said it doesn't seem that that's what is going to happen. Who knows...

Hey, fyi, I am going to be going to Excelsior tonight. :)

Aw, I wished you'd called me! I didn't check my e-mail after maybe 6pm...and actually still haven't yet(!).
I do hope it was fun. :)
