An elderly and acclaimed wandmaker; he used to have a shop in Diagon Alley and he made most British wizards' wands. He has a piercing stare and Harry often feels uncomfortable around him. Voldemort captures Ollivander over the summer, hoping to use his extensive knowledge of wandlore to give him the information he needs to defeat Harry. Though Ollivander tells Voldemort what he knows when Voldemort tortures him, the twin cores of Harry and Voldemort's wands are so rare that his information ends up being incorrect. He forms a close bond with Luna when both he and Luna are imprisoned at Malfoy Manor, and Dobby saves Ollivander when he arrives to rescue Harry.
