Mirror of Erised "Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

Cedar (genus Cedrus) is a genus of coniferous trees in the plant family Pinaceae.[2]

Wandlore[]

Garrick Ollivander believed that whenever he met one who carried a cedar wand, he found strength of character and unusual loyalty. His father, Gervaise Ollivander, used to always say, "you will never fool the cedar carrier", and he agreed: the cedar wand found its perfect home where there was perspicacity and perception.[1]

Ollivander said that he would go further than his father, however, in saying that he had never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom he would care to cross, especially if harm was done to those of whom they were fond. The witch or wizard who was well-matched with cedar carried the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often came as a shock to those who had thoughtlessly challenged them.[1]
