Gervaise Ollivander

"You will never fool the cedar carrier."

- Gervaise to his son Garrick

Gervaise Ollivander was a wizard who came from a long line of wandmakers who had operated in Diagon Alley since 382 B.C.

He and his wife, a Muggle-born witch, had at least one child, Garrick, who eventually took over the family business and made revolutionary changes to the way wands were made.

According to Gervaise, it was impossible to fool a wizard or witch who carried a wand of cedar wood, an opinion that his son shared.
