"Ah well, not necessarily. The next person to find it might just be left with a dead stick, just like that replica there." Ethan pointed at the replica as it was handed around the class. "Recall that, in order to be the Master of the Elder Wand, you must disarm or defeat its current owner. If that person dies or has died a natural death, then the Elder Wand will never again be able to be mastered as the Deathstick, and perhaps not even as a wand made of elder."



"It is complicated, though not always from changing hands with a bloodbath. In some cases, when the Master of the Elder Wand was disarmed, it would pass on its allegience to a new Master who would not even know they had control of it." Truebridge offered a brief explanation.



"... and that is just the thing. It is entirely possible to have become the owner of the wand without even laying a hand on it." Ethan agreed.



"Right. Bigger does not mean better and that is particularly true in the case of a wand." Ethan paused to listen and nodded.

"Thats right, all males. Not one female has ever been Master of the Elder Wand."



"I can't say for sure what happened to it, except that I agree it was too dangerous." Truebridge replied.



Ethan blinked at the flash from the camera and answered slowly.

"As Arrick mentioned, indeed it is an important consideration that no female has ever owned the wand, though I do feel the need to point out that not all the Masters of the wand have been violent and power-hungry as you say."

He was hit with a sudden thought, that if any woman was capable of both desiring the Elder Wand and actually mastering it, it would in his completely unbiased opinion be Anastasia Bunbury.

Where was that Plymouth with his breakfast?

"If you haven't copied down the list of the known Masters of the Elder Wand, copy it from a classmate now." Truebridge instructed. "Before we move on to talk about the people on that list, are there any questions?"
