Ronald Weasley's wands

Ronald Weasley has owned two wands.

First Wand
Ron's first wand originally belonged to his older brother Charlie. It was 12" ash, with a unicorn hair core.

This wand was damaged in September of 1992 in a run-in with the Whomping Willow. It subsequently started malfunctioning. For example, when Ron attempted to hex Draco Malfoy for calling Hermione Granger a "filthy little Mudblood", the curse backfired, causing him to vomit slugs. At the end of the school year, Gilderoy Lockhart's attempt to wipe the memories of Ron and Harry Potter was foiled when the charm backfired, causing Lockhart permanent and drastic memory loss.

Second Wand
In 1993, Ron's father won a Daily Prophet draw, and some of the money was spent to purchase Ron a new wand. This one was 14" willow with a unicorn hair core and seemed to suit Ron better.

Ron's wand was confiscated by the Snatchers that caught him, Harry, and Hermione and brought them to Malfoy Manor in 1998. In the ensuing battle and escape, Ron took Peter Pettigrew's wand. It is unknown if he ever recovered his own wand.
