Melica asked this question about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7):
What happened to Voldemort's first wand? I couldn't find anything in the book Did I miss something or it's not mentioned?!
Justine Barnes Voldemort still has his wand. At the beginning of this book, he measures it against Lucius Malfoy's showing he still has it and it is intact. Dumbledo…moreVoldemort still has his wand. At the beginning of this book, he measures it against Lucius Malfoy's showing he still has it and it is intact. Dumbledore explains to Harry in book 4 that since both wands contained a tail feather from Fawkes the phoenix, the couldn't face each other as they'd refuse to destroy each other pretty much. It is assumed that Ollivander explained something similar to Voldemort when he offered the suggestion of using a different wand. In Harry's vision after arriving at The Burrow in this book, Voldemort tortures Ollivander because his assumption that any different wand would work appeared to be incorrect as Lucius's wand was destroyed when Voldemort faced Harry with it.(less)
