At least if he wanted every possible wand, which I think he would as Ollivander doesn't seem to be type to settle on "close enough" when a wand is choosing a wizard. | |

Given the possible combinations of wood and core (see Pottermore), there aren't all THAT many wands he can make "per wizard" as far as "wand chooses the wizard". There is a very well defined cap based on canon. | |

Wiki is considered an acceptable reference for the site in general, NOT a universal word of god applicable to any and every question. If the source of the Wiki info is (as it VERY frequently happens) "this is what I saw in a frame in the movie" - without actual cite - and the question is "does the info in the frame in the movie make sense in the context of the universe", using a Wiki answer misses the entire point of the question. THAT is what Slytherincess meant by her shorthand of "No Wiki answers". | |
| Oct 6, 2012 at 3:12 | comment | added | K-H-W | +1 from me, but it occurs to me that his inventory may not relate to the population; if he's a craftsman, AND if wands don't have a significantly limited life expectancy when in storage, then I would think he would spend a lot of time just making them and honing his craft. Hence all of the different styles / details that people try when getting one. So it worries me that the question may be indeterminate if we base it on his inventory. How many masterpieces does Picasso need? | |
| Oct 6, 2012 at 3:05 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @NominSim - the reason Wiki is not acceptable to Slytherincess is because a large portion of HP information in it is either extremely poorly - or more likely not at all - cited. E.g. it says "this is XYZ" or "this is ABC in Harry Potter and One More Volume You Will Spend Money On" - without supporting quotes. Sometimes said information is between inaccurate and outright bad, and VERY frequently makes zero distinctions between book and movie canon, or canon and speculation. | |
