Choose a Wand Based on Appearance

It is recommended to choose a wand that you like based on its appearance. You can choose a wand during the main quest, "Welcome to Hogsmeade," so make sure to progress through the story.

No Difference in Performance

There is no difference in performance based on the type of wand. Even if you want to aim for the strongest wand, it is recommended to choose based on your preferred appearance.

Wands Cannot be Changed

Choose Carefully as Wands Cannot be Changed

Since you cannot change your the type and material of your wand later on, choose carefully. Choose a wand that matches the original character's wand or customize it to your liking to avoid any regrets.

Only Wand Handles Can be Changed Later

Only the design of Wand Handles can be changed later on. Even if you didn't have the option to choose a certain handle during the wand selection, you can obtain it from treasure chests or as quest rewards, so you can change it later.
