So, you know how in the epilogue they all see Draco and stuff, but I'm listening to my friend reading the part in the room of hidden stuff and Draco mentioned Harry having his wand. The question struck me of whether or not Harry still had and was using Draco's wand. I don't believe it ever mentions Harry giving it back or anything. Am I really stupid for thinking about this, or do you find it at least somewhat interesting too?

I'm sure Harry wouldn't be willing to give up the Elder Wand.

... Did you guys read the ending?
Harry used the elder wand to fix his holly and phoenix feather wand, then put the elder wand back in Dumbledore's tomb so that its power would die with him. He said it was too much trouble. Look at the very end just before the epilogue.

NOT THE ELDER WAND! Draco's actual wand. The one he got at Ollivander's and that Harry stole from him along with Bellatrix's want la de da?
Oh yeah, he fixed his own wand, but did he give poor Draco back his wand?

I spose if he just GAVE Draco his old wand back, it wouldn't be as powerful as it once was, since he didn't "earn" it.
So Draco would either have to buy a new wand, or disarm Harry, in which case HE would become the master of the Eldar Wand again.

I'm sure Draco's wand would work for him, right? Harry's lost his wand before and it's always worked fine for him afterwards. Same with Snape in PoA. But I dunno.

I pretty much didnt get how Harry even became the owner of the eldar wand. Or its possible that I get it but I think its lame.

It is a bit odd.
Albus had it, but he was disarmed by Draco the night he died, thus draco becomes its rightful owner.
Harry disarms draco during the fight at the manor, thus HE becomes rightful owner. The wand refuses to work properly against its true owner, so Harry wins against Voldy.

Yeah, that entire "Harry is the Elder Wand's master" was entirelly strange. Rowling really overdid a lot of things in this book. For example: I think the Hallows were completely unnecessary. It was kind of odd for her to introduce this new quest in the middle of the book. I think Rowling should have just stuck with the Horcruxes.

It added quite an interesting part to the book. Voldemort trying to get at the Eldar Wand, the new info on Grindelwand, Harry's decision to go with Horcruxes, not Hallows, and most importantly, the whole temptation thing with Dumbledore and the Hallows. Hallows are awesome. |

I think the important thing was that Harry chose to go after Horcruxes rather than Hallows even though his strong temptation to be with his parents again. In going after the horcruxes he learnt to accept the deaths of his loved ones. |

The hallows were, in the end, necessary to balance the horcruxes. If there's an evil way of avoiding death then there should be a good way also and these hallows were meant to be so. Sure it was introduced extremely late but it added a whole new dimension to the book and I liked it.
