Handedness

Handedness refers to the balance of skill that humans, both Muggles and Magical, posess between their right and left hands. Handedness in Muggles is usually defined by which hand they use to write, while handedness in Wizards and Witches is more commonly defined by which hand they use to hold their Wand. As with Muggles, the majority of Wizards are right-handed. It is probable that handedness is a factor in Wand-making, as Mr. Ollivander asks his customers which their "wand arm" is.
