Voldemorts wand was made of yew and had a phoenix feather core. The core of the wand was taken from Fawkes, Albus Dumbledores phoenix, and Harry Potters and Tom Riddles wands were both made from feathers from him. The wand was 13 and a half inches long. It was originally purchased from Ollivanders Wand Shop by Tom Riddle, who later changed his name to Lord Voldemort. The wand was manufactured by Garrick Ollivander and was the "brother" or "twin" of the wand of Harry Potter, as their wands share cores.
