What is really surprising is that there are a total of 60 wands listed in the book, with 59 measurements given (Hagrid's umbrella is the lone exception) and all the wands seems to be exceptionally long compared to what we know from book canon.ġ4" is upper end of of normal wands in book canon and is the average length here! 42 of the 59 wands (71%) are 14" and greater. This blueprint shows the measurement from tip to base including the handle, and Narcissa's wand has an ornate handle (although not quite as ornate as Lucius').
Although I do suspect it does include the handle as Narcissa Malfoy's wand was used as a blueprint example in the opening of the book on how the props were sent to production. However, it does not give any detail if that is just the wooden part or inclusive of the silver handle. So I am still at loss as to where the Wiki gets the 18" from. Indeed, the books lists the wand at 17.25 inches. I was able to find a copy of Harry Potter: The Wand Collection as suggested by in the comments and I went down quite a rabbit hole. So can we confirm the actual length of the prop and is the length factored with or without the snake-head handle? Now that prop was concealed in a walking stick and also had a snake-head handle (which was later broken off by Voldemort). I have heard that the 18" length comes from the prop wand used by Jason Isaacs while performing his role as Lucius. Now Lucius certainly has a "bigger personality" and probably has a "dramatic style of magic" so he probably would have a longer wand. Oak, sixteen inches, rather bendy, wasn't it?" "Rubeus! Rubeus Hagrid! How nice to see you again.
The other longest wand we know of is Hagrid's at 16" and this is confirmed by the text in the book While I have sold extremely short wands (eight inches and under) and very long wands (over fifteen inches), these are exceptionally rare. Most wands will be in the range of between nine and fourteen inches. In my experience, longer wands might suit taller wizards, but they tend to be drawn to bigger personalities, and those of a more spacious and dramatic style of magic. This seems to exceedingly long as Ollivander states: It is stated in various places that Lucius Malfoy's wand is 18" in length.
