Hermione Granger's wand

The wand of Hermione Granger was 10¾" vine wood, with a dragon heartstring core. It was confiscated by Snatchers in 1997, and it is unknown if Hermione ever recovered it.

History
Hermione presumably obtained her wand when she was eleven years old, shortly before beginning at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Her wand was confiscated by Snatchers in the spring of 1998 when Hermione, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley were caught after Harry accidentally broke the Taboo curse by saying Voldemort's name. Hermione subsequently used Bellatrix Lestrange's 12¾" walnut and dragon heartstring wand, which Harry grabbed during their escape from Malfoy Manor. Hermione disliked having to use Bellatrix's wand, partly because she did not win it herself, making it more difficult to use, and partly because it was the wand Bellatrix had used to torture Neville Longbottom's parents and to kill Sirius Black. However, she was forced to use it.

This caused a problem when she, Harry, and Ron later broke in to Gringotts Wizarding Bank with Hermione impersonating Bellatrix by consuming Polyjuice Potion. The goblins asked Hermione to see her wand as identification before she could enter the Lestrange family's vault, but Bellatrix had already warned them that her wand had been stolen. Harry was forced to use the Imperius Curse to ensure that Hermione was allowed in.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione dueled Bellatrix alongside Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood, holding her own in spite of being hampered by using the witch's own wand against her.

It is unknown if Hermione managed to get her original wand back after the end of the Second Wizarding War.

Behind the scenes

 * J.K. Rowling used a Celtic calendar to assign Hermione's wand wood, as vine corresponds to those born between September 2 and September 29.
