In a very formal, yet logical definition, magic wands are considered to be a tool used by magicians and wizards and it reflects dissimilar magical powers, depending on the properties of each particular wand. Most of us connect the word "wand" with a man capable of performing magic trick and spells. In fact, this object is mandatory for most spells that magicians perform. We have established that they remind us of magicians. Now let us see what the word "magician" reminds us of. Most grown-ups will think of Blaine or Copperfield, but amongst youngster, there is no magician more grand than Harry Potter.
It would appear that the length of each wand used in Harry Potter movies and books is directly proportion with the height of the wizard who owns it and since each of these has rather unique properties, only its owner has the right and power to use it. Aspiring wizards are prone to causing severe damage if they use one which comes in conflict with his or her character. This does not mean that wands cannot turn owners. In order for a wand to be used by other character, its devotee must be killed, stunned or disarmed and so the wand will identify the "attacker" as being its new master. Naturally taking it from other wizard's hands is not acceptable.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Overview
During his third year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter must confront the devious and dangerous wizard responsible for his parents' deaths.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Specifications
For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who detest him. The third book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series catapults into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who strictly forbid students to cast spells in the nonmagic world of Muggles), Harry lunges out into the darkness with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.As it turns out, Harry isn't punished at all for his errant wizardry. Instead he is mysteriously rescued from his Muggle neighborhood and whisked off in a triple-decker, violently purple bus to spend the remaining weeks of summer in a friendly inn called the Leaky Cauldron. What Harry has to face as he begins his third year at Hogwarts explains why the officials let him off easily. It seems that Sirius Black--an escaped convict from the prison of Azkaban--is on the loose. Not only that, but he's after Harry Potter. But why? And why do the Dementors, the guards hired to protect him, chill Harry's very heart when others are unaffected? Once again, Rowling has created a mystery that will have children and adults cheering, not to mention standing in line for her next book. Fortunately, there are four more in the works.
