1. Does the wand choose the wizard or does the wizard choose the wand?
I'm not looking for a 'right' answer here, I want to know your opinion
and why you think so. (I know that it is obvious, by the lesson write-up,
that I feel the wand chooses the wizard. Go ahead and disagree with me,
if you like! The discussion is 'your' opinion, and your reasons for holding
it.)
Minimum of 100 words.
2. Are there ethics to be aware of when using wands? If so, what are they?
Again I'm not looking for a 'right' answer, but I want to know what
you think,and why you think so. Minimum of 100 words.
Name three wizards, one each from the works of Shakespeare, Tolkien and Rowling,
who either had their staff (or wand) deliberately (ie: not an accident) broken
or the wizard deliberately got rid of it.
Say who it was and the general circumstances surrounding the situation.

Discussion of each of the wizards. Was this done rightly or wrongly?
What was the effect of having their wand, or staff, broken or put aside?
