Mahogany is a hard, reddish-brown wood that is harvested from several tropical tree species, mainly in the Caribbean.[1]
Mahogany is used as wand wood by the wandmaker Ollivander.[2] James Potter's wand was mahogany, and was described by Ollivander as "pliable," "excellent for transfiguration," and having "a little more power" than Lily Evans's wand.[2]
The handle of the Nimbus 2000 broomstick was made of mahogany.
