HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
Fan screenplay by Wui-Ming Gan, based on the novel by J. K. Rowling
Chapter 14: The Wandmaker
INT. GUEST BEDROOM, SHELL COTTAGE - NIGHT
OLLIVANDER is awake in bed. There is a knock on the door.
OLLIVANDER
Come in!
The door opens, and in comes HARRY.
HARRY
Mr. Ollivander, I'm sorry to
disturb you.
OLLIVANDER
My dear boy. You rescued us. I
thought we would die in that
place. I can never thank you
enough.
HARRY holds out the two halves of his broken wand.
HARRY
Mr. Ollivander, I need some help.
Can you mend this?
OLLIVANDER holds out a trembling hand, and HARRY places
the two barely connected halves into his palm.
OLLIVANDER
I am sorry, but a wand that has
suffered this degree of damage
cannot be repaired by any means
that I know of.
HARRY takes the wand halves back and replaces them in his
pocket, taking out two of the wands he brought from
Malfoy Manor.
HARRY
Can you identify these?
OLLIVANDER takes the first of the wands and holds it
close to his faded eyes, rolling it between his knobble
knuckled fingers, flexing it slightly.
OLLIVANDER
Walnut and dragon heartstring.
This wand belonged to Bellatrix
Lestrange.
HARRY
And this one?
OLLIVANDER performs the same examination on the other
wand.
OLLIVANDER
Hawthorn and unicorn hair. This
was the wand of Draco Malfoy.
HARRY
Was? Isn't it still his?
OLLIVANDER
Perhaps not. If you took it, then
it may be yours. In general, where
a wand has been won, its
allegiance will change.
HARRY
You talk about wands like they've
got feelings.
OLLIVANDER
The wand chooses the wizard.
HARRY
Can't a person use a wand that
hasn't chosen them, though?
OLLIVANDER
Oh yes, if you are any wizard at
all you will be able to channel
your magic through almost any
instrument. The best results,
however, always come where there
is the strongest affinity between
wizard and wand.
HARRY
I took this wand from Draco Malfoy
by force. Can I use it safely?
OLLIVANDER
I think so. Subtle laws govern
wand ownership, but the conquered
wand will usually bend its will to
its new master.
HARRY
So, it isn't necessary to kill the
previous owner to take true
possession of a wand?
OLLIVANDER
Necessary? No, I should not say
that it is necessary to kill. But
there are legends about a wand
that has passed from hand to hand
by murder, a wand said to be more
powerful than any other.
HARRY
The Wand of Destiny.
OLLIVANDER nods.
HARRY (cont'd)
You told You-Know-Who about it,
didn't you?
OLLIVANDER
He tortured me!
HARRY
What did you tell him?
OLLIVANDER
A rumor. Some believe that
Grindelwald — a Dark Wizard before
your time — came to possess the
Wand of Destiny, and used it to
reach the height of his power.
HARRY
Grindelwald. I've heard the name
before. Dumbledore defeated him,
didn't he? But that means —
EXT. LAKE, HOGWARTS - NIGHT
Beside the lake is a white marble tomb — the tomb of
Albus Dumbledore. The entire tomb is lifted off the
ground. In mid-air, it rotates so that the corpse within
is upright. The tomb splits open from head to toe, and
the wrappings fall open. Dumbledore's hands are folded
upon his chest, clutching the Wand of Destiny.
We hear the sound of evil, uncontrollable laughter as the
wand is lifted into the air and floats into VOLDEMORT's
waiting hands. VOLDEMORT is now holding a wand in each
hand; he waves them, and the desecrated tomb is flung
into the dark, deep waters of the lake.
