Mahogany refers to a group of related tree species within the family Meliaceae that all produce a hard, reddish-brown wood.[3]
Wandlore[]
Mahogany was capable of producing wand quality wood, and was utilised by the wandmaker Garrick Ollivander.[1] James Potter's wand was crafted from mahogany. His wand was described by Ollivander as "pliable and excellent for transfiguration", also having "a little more power" than Lily Evans's wand.[1]
History[]
A table in the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley was made of mahogany.[2] The handle of the Nimbus 2000 broomstick was made of mahogany.[4] The staircase leading to the Gryffindor dormitories was made of mahogany.[5]
The door to Dolores Umbridge's Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic office at the British Ministry of Magic was made of mahogany.[6]
Known mahogany wand owners[]
- Unidentified Muggle-born Hogwarts student (possibly)[7]
Behind the scenes[]
