Wizard Conductor's Wand, er, um, Baton, Yeah, that's it.


"Ah, music - a magic beyond all we do here!" Wise words by one of the greatest headmasters of all time - long live his memory. This wizard wand is perfect for the witch or wizard with musical talent - I'm currently negotiating a custom design for the former lead singer of the Weird Sisters, now persuing a career as a conductor of a prominent symphony in disguise as a muggle. I can't tell you which, but it should be apparent soon when the music they play is subtlely enhanced by the magic of the wand I'm making. I'm expecting great things - Keep your eyes and ears open, you'll be impressed.
The baton shown above is with a holly shaft and a purpleheart handle, total length about 15 inches. The shaft should be both light weight and light color. Maple offers a less-expensive alternative to holly. The handle can be any number of woods, from more common woods like walnut, purpleheart, etc. to exotics like rosewood, ebony, or cocobolo. Engraving and pyrography is also available for an additional fee. Email me to discuss specifics.
Price as shown - $60.00. Add a pouch for an additional $10.00

Mini Wizard Wands

A new addition to Muggle Wandmaker's offerings, these miniature wizard wands pack quite a punch. Just make sure that you register with the ministry of magic for a concealed wand permit if you're going to be keeping one of these mini wands in your pocket.

As with all of my wands, these are solid hardwoods, polished smooth and ready for wizarding action. Prices vary depending on the wood - less expensive domestics $12.00, common exotics $14.00, and rare exotics $16.00. $5 shiping will be added at checkout, and may be combined for multiple orders.






Wood Choice

Domestics ($12.00):
Alder: protects against drowning, acts as a shield against death curses and ill opens. Known to keep that ridiculous grim away. Has strange results when combined with gillyweed - not recommended.

Ambrosia Maple: great for charm work, especially levitation. Careful though - don't think "levicorpus" to yourself when you're fingering your keys or the others in the room may get a bit of a surprise.

Ash: great at casting protective charms around your home to keep out those darned death eaters - they can seriously mess up your decorating scheme. Works great at imperturbable charms too - keep dungbombs and extendable ears at bay.

Maple: great for charm work, especially levitation. Careful though - don't think "levicorpus" to yourself when you're fingering your keys or the others in the room may get a bit of a surprise.


Mesquite: not just a barbeque flavoring, mesquite wands have been favored by native American wizards for their use in rain charms and summoning buffalo. TATONKA!! Only make sure you don't combine the two - raining buffalo - now that's scary.


Myrtle: Listen up ladies - myrtle is great in matters of love and passion. Popular among dryads - don't let them steal your wizard's heart, get your own myrtle miniwand today!




Oak: Wisdom, strength, stability, protection. In short, boring, right? Well, don't underestimate wands of oak - rumor has it they can be mended by the elder wand if you get expelled for letting something mad an hairy loose on the castle - just keep it hidden in a pink umbrella and you're OK.

Common Exotics ($14.00):
Purpleheart: Known especially for its power in healing work - Consider this your personal first aid kit (only in addition to a REAL first aid kit - sorry, muggle laywer language)

Bubinga: a sensitive wood, according to wandlore. Wizards, this may just be what you need to win that witch's attention - forget relationship self-help books and get a bubinga minwand today.

Canarywood: helpful in spurring creativity and artistic expression. Combined with gnome saliva (excuse me, gernumblie saliva) you could be capable of amazing works of art with this miniwand.

Tambootie: Careful with this one, folks. Tambootie exudes noxious vapors when burned, and its sap is used to tip arrows by tribes in Africa. As a wand, it could be a little unstable - no guarantees that it won't backfire on you and make you vomit slugs. Still, if you're willing to give it a go, it could be just the wand you've been looking for.

Goncalo Alvez: this wand has a mystique to its mischeivous energy that lends to the uncovering of wild mysteries and the favours of the bold spirit toward the blessings of fate. Caution: has been known to cause spontaneous speaking in spanish to the wielder. Yo quiero los tacos por favor....Oh, it strikes again!

Osage Orange: known for repelling vermin (including annoying siblings) and resisting decay, excellent for use in totem magic.


Rare Exotics ($16.00):
Cochen Rosewood: Rosewoods are all great when it comes to matters of the heart - enhancing natural beauty and grace, and quite effective at love charms. Cochen Rosewood is from the carribean, so it has a decidedly tropical flare to its magic - beware of accidentally conjuring coconuts.

East-Indian Rosewood: again, a rosewood that will help win the hearts and minds of others. This wand also is highly effective in cooking with curry.

Nigerian Ebony: a powerful, indiscriminate wood - it's like the swiss army knife of wands. Open bottles, clip your fingernails, jinx your enemies and protect your palls with this little beaut.


Tulipwood: with ties to the moon and lunar cycle, this wand can be a little temperamental if you use it under a new moon.



Spalted Maple: As with other maples, great for charms and levitation. This has the added plus of being great for any spell work that involves cheese.

House Wand - Citrine and Purpleheart


Hard work, loyalty, and fair play - in short, determination - some of the greatest wizards of the modern and ancient age can be described this way. Or maybe you just like the golden Citrine gemstone color. Either way, if this wand chooses you, you are in good standing.

Choose between domestic hardwoods such as walnut, maple, oak, or alder, or exotics like purpleheart, ebony, yellowheart, or holly - all will serve well when combined with the Citrine-colored handle, and aid you well in your quest for magical education. Price varies from $45-$55 depending on what wood you choose. Order below:

Ebony and Purpleheart Wand - Royal Potentius


Historically drinking goblets were made from ebony, as it was believed to be an antidote for poison, and its use would ward off their enemy's evil intent. It is regarded as the most powerful and indiscriminate of magical woods. Purpleheart is strong in its creative and healing powers, working equally well for healers and conjurers. Besides looking awesome, these woods compliment each other to provide an extremely powerful, and majestic looking wand.

Length: 12". Price: $44.25

The Headmistress Wand: Maple, Purpleheart, Padauk

This 14" wizard wand was custom made for the Headmistress of the Bamberg Germany Summer School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The union of three kinds of woods brings together each wood's magical properties for a uniquely suited wand. Purpleheart brings creativity and healing power, Maple brings charm and levitation power, and Padauk, normally a chaotic fluctuating wood, is nestled between the two, allowing its power to come out with more stability and consistency than if it were the sole wood used in the wand.

So, headmistress Schreyer, good luck with your summer camp this year, and I hope this wand brings you success in keeping the students safe, instructing them, and having good old-school fun.

The Princess Wand: Pink Ivory and Purpleheart


Pink Ivory is one of the most rare and prized woods in wandmaking. Sacred to the Zulu people as their royal wood, myth tells that only true royalty may wield it--powerful with spells, assisting bringing visions and ideas into reality. Combined with the purpleheart, wood known for healing, divination, and creativity, this is a wand ready for use for good by any young princess. The pink and purple colors of the wood are preserved in a natural finish, and it looks beautiful.12"-16" long (you tell me) and made from rare woods with two piece construction, I'm afraid this is a more expensive wand than most - $39.00.

Divination Wands: The Purpleheart Cassandra Collection

This collection of Witch and Wizard Wands is named after an well renowned seer whose inner eye might have skipped a few generations. Hand-turned from solid purpleheart and individually styled, you just might foresee one of these wands choosing you!

Purpleheart is known for its powers in divination-if Trelawny had used one of these, perhaps she would have impressed Umbridge in her inspection after all. Don't write them off for other magical acts, though - purpleheart is also strong in its creative and healing powers, working equally well for healers and conjurers. And it's really cool looking wood.

Approximate length: 11"-13" - Price as shown: $19.50 each. Specify shape in the "buyer instructions" in the checkout process.

Purpleheart and Oak Wand of Defense - 16"



Muggle Wandmaker is pleased to provide this 16" Wand, made from Oak and Purpleheart, to Professor Fazzio, instructor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magical Literature at the Riverdale Preparatory Academy of Magical Instruction. What with Oak's magical properties as the embodiment of wisdom and strength, stability and protection, and Purpleheart's magical properties of creativity, health, and healing, this wand is ideal for defensive and healing magic. At 16", it's the same length as Hagrid's oak wand. Use it wizely, Professor Fazzio.

Yellowheart and Purpleheart Wand - The Paradoxia

This wand is made from Yellowheart and Purpleheart and measures 14". As yellow and purple are opposite on the color wheel, so Yellowheart (or Pao Amarello) and Purpleheart are nearly polar opposites in wandlore. Yellowheart is known for leading to victory in combat, and for meditation and stillness. Purpleheart is known for its use in divination, its creative energy, and its healing powers. Combined, they look dang cool, and in the right hands, may be useful as maybe a wizard medic on the front lines in the fight against the death eaters, or perhaps to help restless kids sit still - I could sure use a wand that does that!

Price as shown: $26.00

Purpleheart and Walnut Wand: Vazni Energi

This Walnut and Purpleheart wand is 13" long, made from two separate pieces of solid hardwood. The combination of the innate seriousness of the walnut in the handle and the creative energy of the purpleheart makes this a wand for some serious transfiguration, charms, and conjuring - a powerful, all-purpose wand. Be careful it doesn't fall into the wrong hands, because I have a feeling this wand is destined for greatness - the wand chooses the wizard or witch, and this one was beyond my muggle spellcasting abilities.

Price: $24.50.

Healer's Wand: Purplehart


This Purpleheart wand brings out the best in witches and wizards studying for a career at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies. Purpleheart works well for exposing compassion and generosity, and is known in wandlore for its divination and creative powers, for spiritual healing and health. Madam Pomfrey may have even used a wand like this in her days at Hogwarts. And if Professor Trelawney had only had a purpleheart wand, she could have predicted more than just Harry's future.

As with all my wands, this is solid hardwood, with a clear finish, ready for all sorts of wizarding adventures - metaphysical magical core included. Also, as they say, the wand chooses the wizard, so if you feel a wand like this must be out there calling to you, email me with no delay and I'll get it to you as quickly as I can.

Price: $18.00 from wood on hand

Oak and Purpleheart Auror's Wand


Oak is known for endurance, and triumph. Purpleheart is known in wandlore for its divination and creative powers, for spiritual healing and health. Put them together and you'll have a wand that would have served Harry Potter much better than the one Ron Weasley grabbed off the snatchers - endure and triumph in all but the most wicked duels, and restore your coven to health after sustaining all sorts of grueling jinxes and hexes - this wand is perfect for aurors (dark wizard catchers) of all ages.

The magic in this wand is as real as Harry Potter - it's just plain fun. But there's also the charm and appeal of hand-turned, solid wood construction, custom made to order. Great for kids of all ages. Look out, you-know-who, for the witch or wizard armed with this one!
Price: $23.75

Myrtle and Purpleheart Wand: The Pacifica Silna


This Myrtle and Purpleheart Wand has an innate magic all its own. Myrtle is a haven for peace and is admired for its relative strength and sheer size. The Myrtle tree itself represents endurance and power and because it is often struck by lightning it has been said to have the ability to attract inspiration, wisdom and illumination. Purpleheart is known in wandlore for its divination and creative powers, for spiritual healing and health. Together they make a powerful wand that is great for jinxing your siblings when they get on your nerves, and for blocking unfriendly hexes and dirty looks. And it looks dang cool.

This wand is 12 and a half inches long, and the price is $23.75.

Purpleheart and Maple Wand: The Healer's Apprentice


This Purpleheart and Maple wand is handmade from solid hardwood and finished with a natural shellac finish. The styling is sleek, slender, and curvy. My coworkers call it a girl's wand, but I think that's because they're girls and they want it. Good for wizards too, and even if you don't play for dumbledore's side.

Purpleheart is known in wandlore for its divination and creative powers, for spiritual healing and health. Maple is known for helping to focus on making the right choices, good for spells of communication, binding, transmutation, and easing remorse for past mistakes. Put them together and it makes a cool looking wand. OK so I don't actually place any spells on my wand, I'm not a druid, and I have never seen sparks shoot from the tip. The magic of my wands is as real as Harry Potter, Merlin, elves, witches, wizards, bowtruckles, and the lot.

This wand is 11 and a half inches long, and the price is $22.50.
