“That wand still isn’t working properly for you because you murdered the wrong person. Severus Snape was never the true master of the Elder Wand. He never defeated Dumbledore.”
Voldemort visste inte vem som var den äkta ägaren av trollet. Dumbledore hade övertygat Snape om att döda honom. Sedan detta var ordnat död, skulle lojaliteten hos trollet vara kvar med Dumbledore. Voldemort tänkte döda Snape skulle överföra trollens lojalitet mot sig själv.
“Aren’t you listening? Snape never beat Dumbledore! Dumbledore’s death was planned between them! Dumbledore intended to die undefeated, the wand’s last true master! If all had gone as planned, the wand’s power would have died with him, because it had never been won from him!”
Den nya ägarens ägare visste inte att han hade vunnit äldsta trollens lojalitet genom att avväpna Dumbledore.
“You still don’t get it, Riddle, do you? Possessing the wand isn’t enough! Holding it, using it, doesn’t make it really yours. Didn’t you listen to Ollivander? The wand chooses the wizard. The Elder Wand recognized a new master before Dumbledore died, someone who never even laid a hand on it. The new master removed the wand from Dumbledore against his will, never realizing exactly what he had done, or that the world’s most dangerous wand had given him its allegiance
Så den nya ägaren är / var
“The true master of the Elder Wand was Draco Malfoy.”
Men den nya ägaren avväpnades (fysiskt eller utan magi) av en annan trollkarl. Äldste troll är maktstaven. Det insåg en förändring av ägande.
“But you’re too late,” said Harry. “You’ve missed your chance. I got there first. I overpowered Draco weeks ago. I took this wand from him.”
Så den nya / nuvarande ägaren till den äldre staven är:
“So it all comes down to this, doesn’t it?” whispered Harry. “Does the wand in your hand know its last master was Disarmed? Because if it does . . . I am the true master of the Elder Wand.”
Äldstrollen har ingen lojalitet, det associerar sig alltid med den mer kraftfulla trollkarlen.
citerar J.K. Rowling här
The Elder Wand knows no loyalty except to strength. So it's completely unsentimental. It will only go where the power is. So if you win, then you've won the wand. So you don't need to kill with it. But, as is pointed out in the books, not least by Dumbledore because it is a wand of such immense power, almost inevitably, it attracts wizards who are prepared to kill and who will kill. And also it attracts wizards like Voldemort who confuse being prepared to murder with strength.
