Soldiers may have the expertise to operate cannons but cats have intimate knowledge of explosive projectiles. Depending on the individual, disarming a soldier from his weapon is a matter of time. But if you're facing a cat, just get outta there. | |

| Apr 16, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Slytherincess | @Xantec -- Actually, I was just offering that quote for your consideration, since you asked about the wand being as powerful as the wizard who owns it. That's all. The quote suggests the possibility, but is not definitive, IMO. I don't believe this question has an answer based in canon. | |
| Apr 16, 2014 at 15:45 | comment | added | Xantec | @Slytherincess Maybe it implies that. Expertise isn't the same as raw power. If there is a difference in power between wizards then you might be the most expert as casting spells but perhaps not be able to achieve the same output as someone less talented but with more power. I'll leave it to you to answer if canon supports differences in raw power between wizards, as you know the lore much better than I. | |

minor grammar

| Apr 16, 2014 at 15:39 | comment | added | Slytherincess | @Xantec -- In Tales of Beedle the Bard it does say this about wands: Those who are knowledgeable about wandlore will agree that wands do indeed absorb the expertise of those who use them, though this is an unpredictable and imperfect business; one must consider all kinds of additional factors, such as the relationship between the wand and the user, to understand how well it is likely to perform with any particular individual. So this implies that often a wand becomes as powerful as its master, but that it's not written in stone that this will always happen. | |

| Apr 14, 2014 at 15:28 | comment | added | Xantec | Dumbledore didn't really beat the Elder wand, but instead beat the man (Grindelwald) behind it: scifi.stackexchange.com/a/12566/1234 Also, do you have a quote for saying that the wand is as powerful as it's master? The wand chooses the wizard, but I don't recall it being said it was necessarily as powerful as said wizard. | |
