Hogwarts: Don't Call Me a Wandmaker

Silvan is not content to inherit Garrick Ollivander’s famous wand shop—he has a bizarre talent for making wand cores from materials no sensible wandmaker would touch. Magical creatures, rare dragon wood, and even things with souls can become experimental components, but every new core risks producing a wand with dangerous, unpredictable properties. At Hogwarts, Silvan tests his creations on classmates such as Ron Weasley, builds a wand that improves Animagus transformation, and studies runes, creatures, and foreign wand traditions for ways to overturn Ollivander’s established craft. His experiments pull him from the Great Hall and Forbidden Forest to Romania’s dragon keepers and Knockturn Alley, where thieves and Dark wizards decide that stealing Ollivanders’ wands is easier than competing with their maker. The story is inventive, mischievous, and occasionally chillingly ruthless: a school-life rewrite driven by magical engineering, business ambition, and a protagonist willing to turn terrifying magical problems into raw materials. It suits Harry Potter readers who want a clever, morally flexible Hogwarts student with an unconventional specialty rather than another chosen-one retread.
