Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Niantic's follow-up to Pokemon Go, is now available on iOS and Android. It's a dense game; Pokemon Go players will notice a number of parallels to Go's mechanics, for example. One of the most iconic things about the Harry Potter universe is also the trickiest: wands. In Wizards Unite, you customize your own wand (in the books, the wand "chooses the wizard"). You can choose from wood types, pick a core, change the wand's flexibility, and then select the length. Having so many choices can be intimidating!

　　If you've read the Harry Potter books or watched the movies, you might have a passing understanding of the series' wand lore. In short, different materials are suited for different types of magic, like charms or defense (among other things), and witches and wizards have a kind of bond with their wands. While your wand in Wizards Unite doesn't affect anything in the game, it can still be fun to fully immerse yourself in the role of a witch or wizard. In that spirit, we've gathered all the details we can about famous Harry Potter characters' wands so you can match yours to your favorite witch or wizard.
