Wandmaker and Owner: Florian Dudemeister-Quackenboss (Govoni)
An American-born wizard in England, Florian is both innately kind, and a fiercely loyal individual. You'll notice that Ollivander's has had a floral makeover, and don't be too surprised if he just so happens to offer his blooms to anyone seeking a wand. If wandmaking doesn't work out, he fancies himself a competent florist.

The Magical Measuring Tape
If you are here for a new wand you will encounter this measuring tape which will take all sorts of measurements from you, including arm length, inseam, height, and sometimes measurements of other seemingly odd areas. Bridge of your nose? Maybe. Length of your jaw? Perhaps. Girth of your knee? Sometimes. Best thing to do is cooperate, and it'll be done faster.

SPOILER!!: Magical Measuring Tape


Name: Magical Measuring Tape
Age: 7 in Measuring Tape Years
Current Occupation: Measuring tape at Ollivanders
Description: Made entirely of an off-white, almost cream coloured cloth with large numbers in black marking its measurements -only these measurements seem to be more than meets the eye, they even change depending on exactly what it is measuring.
Personality: Much like an overeager puppy, the measuring tape gets a little too enthusiastic at times. It really wants to help you though and loves showing off the measurements it has collected. Often tries to 'hug' Ira Banner, which, because its a measuring tape, sometimes results in near-strangulation.
History: This measuring tape used to have an antique wind up leather case, but once it was charmed to become a MAGICAL measuring tape and put to work at Ollivanders, it decided that it was far too constraining for it and has ever since whipped, wiggled, and weaved around in its full glory.

The Old Brass Wand-Weigher Machine
If you linger near the entrance way you will see an interesting looking brass contraption. It looks very old and yet there seems to be a few newer attachments here and there, including a coin slot. This machine will, if you put your wand on the scale, recommend which wand care products your wand could use to better its condition. The machine will whir and pop and squeak and then it will spit out a little gilded card with product recommendations on it. Lucky for you said products can be bought right here at Ollivanders.

SPOILER!!: The Old Brass Wand-Weigher Machine


Name: Wand-Weigher Machine
Age: It has a small metal plaque on it which states it was made in Paris, in 1860.
Current Occupation: Wand-Weigher Machine at Ollivanders
Description: Large and made of brass, the wand-weigher machine has a scale in front where you can place your wand. There is a small plaque on the front which states it was made in Paris in 1860, which begs the question, why does it print out little cards in English? Well that would be because the machine has been recently modified with brand new charms. There's a coin slot on the front. One sickle will get you an assessment of your wand's condition. A flick of a hidden switch will return it to its regular function, in which case the card which it spits out will state the wand components, and the age of the wand, instead of recommending products for it.

History: Originally housed at the French Ministry of Magic in Paris, this wand-weigher Machine began to act up a decade or so ago and had been sitting in storage until Ira Banner acquired it, fixed it up, and gave it new purpose. It no longer simply tells what a wand is made from (since the wandmakers themselves are perfectly able to do this without magical help), instead it assess the condition of a wand and suggests what product might benefit it. Of course, you can always get a second opinion from one of the wandmakers...
