Summary

Wands are a crucial and commonly discussed aspect of the Harry Potter series. They serve as the tool that allow witches and wizards to channel and harness their magical abilities.--

And throughout the series, the significance of wands is highlighted through the emphasis on wandlore, the notion of wand ownership, and the pivotal role wands play in duels and magical combat.-

But for some reason...GOBLINS aren't allowed to use them.

Goblins are given full control of the financial system, they're MORE than magically capable, and they're arguably MORE intelligent than wizardkind.

But under the current Ministry of Magic's control, goblins are STILL prohibited from using or owning wands, under the severe consequence of a life sentence in Azkaban prison.-

So, what's the deal?-Why are goblins forbidden from owning wands? How powerful could they become if they DID possess wands? And what underlying tensions exist between the goblin race and wizards?-

Join me today as we discuss the history of WIZARDS and goblins, uncovering the truth behind why goblins have so few rights in magical society.
