Gellert Grindelwald's wand was made of silver lime wood—or rather, part of it was. According to him, he had taken a branch from a lightning-struck tree. Almost all the wood at its center had been burned away, leaving only the bark.

On that day, when Albus decided to leave home with him and Aberforth tried to stop them, he had laughed just like that. Even now, that laughter still surfaced in Albus's mind from time to time.
