The wand of Sir Cadogan was nine inches long, composed of blackthorn with a troll whisker core, and was said to be "combustible".[1]

History[]

This wand was broken during Cadogan's encounter with the Wyvern of Wye. However, Cadogan still tried to combat the beast even with a broken wand, which led to his victory when the wand pierced the Wyvern's tongue and ignited its stomach fumes.[2] It is unknown if Cadogan ever replaced this wand.

Behind the scenes[]

  • It is odd that Cadogan, who is known to have a very large, boisterous personality, had such a short wand. However, he is also described as very short, which may have counteracted his large personality, as both are known to be factors in wand length.
  • According to Pottermore, wands made from blackthorn are best suited to warriors,[3] a description which seems to suit Sir Cadogan well.
