How Voldemort Got His FIRST Wand Back - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing what happened to Lord Voldemort's Wand AFTER his defeat at the hands of Harry Potter during the first wizarding war. I'm also going to be discussing how he EVENTUALLY got the wand back.Let's dive in.When Voldemort first caught whiff of Sybil Trelawney's Prophecy, he went in to a bit of a state of panic. His regime and his power, previously entirely unchallenged, was suddenly at risk of crumbling, which prompted him to take immediate action. While it could have been either Neville Longbottom OR Harry Potter, Voldemort came to the conclusion that Harry Potter was the boy that the prophecy was talking about, which drove him to seek the boy out. On Wednesday October 31st, Voldemort travelled to the town of Godric's Hollow where the Potter family lived. It was here that Voldemort, in an attempt to murder Harry, ended up murdering James & Lily. When he entered their home he first ended the life of James Potter, followed shortly by Lily.But as we know, Voldemort was unable to make any more progress after that, being thwarted by young Harry and Lily's sacrificial protection. After firing a killing curse at Harry, his curse rebounded back at him- destroying him (mostly, anyway). This marked the end of Voldemort and the First Wizarding War. But my question is, provided that Voldemort had been DEFEATED- how on earth did he later get his wand back? And where was his wand from his initial defeat at the end of the first war to the end of book 4 when he gets it back?Socials: https://linktr.ee/hptheory Learn more about your ad choices.
