The Elder Wand Goes Missing . . . Again

It was bound to happen once He Who Must Not Be Named lost it in the duel with Harry Potter. Police in Bangkok are looking for the infamous Elder Wand. Natdanai Asavaruks went to see the latest Harry Potter movie, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” and let the Elder Wand in his car. When he returned, it was gone.

Of course, the Elder Wand has a long history of thefts. The original owner was murdered for it, according to the story of the Deathly Hallows:

It was also stolen by Lord Voldemort from Dumbledore’s tomb.

Now, it has been taken from the car of Natdanai Asavaruks, 19.

The victim went to the local police and filed a description of the Thestral tail enchanted wand. The police officer reportedly had a classic response: Why didn’t he destroy it before it could fall into the wrong hands?

Others pointed out that the fact is that the wand chooses the wizard.

It might be better for Natdanai Asavaruks to find an auror from the Ministry of Magic. There is dark magic afoot.
