The Noble Collection Cedric Diggory - Character wand

Product Information

Redwood wands are strongly attracted to those who already possess the admirable ability to fall on their feet, to make the right choice and to snatch advantage from catastrophe. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows with its partner in ability and status. Owners are nearly always those who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best. Indomitable willpower: Cedric was shown to possess an exceptionally strong willpower that could rival that of Harry's. For instance, he was able to successfully resist Fleur's Veela charm and honour his previous arrangement with Cho. This was no easy feat, as Veela charm could be particularly powerful and Fleur seemed to be turning on the full force of it upon him. [2]

Harry, illegitimately chosen to represent Hogwarts way before he was ready, found himself unfairly compared to the much more accomplished Cedric – who was Hufflepuff’s Quidditch team captain, a prefect and a more experienced wizard. For an awkward teenage boy still finding his feet, going up against the likes of Cedric Diggory would be an absolute nightmare.

After receiving the hint about the dragons and confirming that Madame Maxine & Karkaroff knew about the dragons, he realized that Cedric Diggory was the only one who didn’t know. Cedric was standing around with a load of his sixth-year friends, and because Harry didn’t want to talk to Cedric in front of them, he followed at a distance and then split Cedric’s bag open so that all of his parchment, books, and quills fell to the ground. Once Cedric was alone, Harry Potter ran up to him and told him bluntly that the first task involved dragons and that it was only fair that he knew about it so that everyone was on equal footing. A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , Cedric Diggory first appears, named as the new Seeker for Hufflepuff. During the announcement that he became the new Seeker, all the female members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team giggled and talked about how he was the tall, handsome one who was very silent and mysterious.Cedric first faces Harry Potter during the Quidditch tournament in Prisoner of Azkaban, and ends up catching the Golden Snitch after Harry faints in the presence of Dementors. Cedric offers to replay the match but the offer is declined by Gryffindor captain Oliver Wood, who feels that Diggory had won the game. Prior to the Third Task, Cedric, along with the other Champions, joined Ludo Bagman to view the maze that was being grown on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch. Along with Harry, Cedric was dismayed to see the Quidditch pitch overgrown, but was assured by Bagman that the pitch would be returned to normal following the conclusion of the Tournament. [2] Dumbledore articulated the injustice of it all the best. In his speech at Cedric’s memorial he chose to tell Hogwarts the truth about Cedric’s murder, rather than letting people assume any other reason for his death, which would have been an ‘insult to his memory’. But it was the closing part that really, really hurt, and perfectly described just what a decent person Cedric was – not better than Harry, but more like an equal. After Harry hurts his leg helping Cedric in the maze, Cedric clearly has the advantage. He could get to the Triwizard Cup before Harry and accept victory on behalf of both Hogwarts and Hufflepuff. However, Cedric believes that Harry is worthy of the Cup for saving him in the maze and tipping him off about the dragons in the first task. This irritates Harry because the rules are that whoever gets to the Cup first wins, and he couldn’t possibly win on his injured leg. However, Cedric is relentless, and Harry eventually decides that they should take the Cup together. Like the King of Cups, Cedric values virtue over victory. In his eyes, he wasn’t trying to let Harry win; Harry had already won through kindness and allyship. The Ministry of Magic, does not wish me to tell you this. It is possible that some of your parents will be horrified that I have done so — either because they will not believe that Lord Voldemort has returned, or because they think I should not tell you so, young as you are. It is my belief, however, that the truth is generally preferable to lies, and that any attempt to pretend that Cedric died as the result of an accident, or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory." — Albus Dumbledore speaking highly of the late Cedric Diggory [src]

Something to keep in mind: ‘Every single wand is unique and will depend for its character on the particular tree and magical creature from which it derives its materials. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers. Cedric and Harry had a relationship of mutual respect and friendliness, though they were not too close. In 1993, when Gryffindor and Hufflepuff played against each other in Quidditch, Cedric offered to replay the match after Harry was incapacitated by Dementors, though the Gryffindors refused, believing that Cedric caught the Golden Snitch fair and square. [6] The following year, when Harry was selected as Hogwarts' champion along with Cedric, Harry felt Cedric was sceptical of Harry's claims that he was not to blame, but he still disapproved of students wearing Support Cedric Diggory/Potter Stinks badges and discouraged it. In the film, one of the hedges finally traps Cedric Diggory the same way it trapped Fleur Delacour, and it’s pulling him under. He begs Harry Potter to help him. In the movies, Harry Potter looks toward the Goblet and considers leaving him behind but eventually helps him. They both agree to take the Goblet together. This paints a picture of both characters being very different than how they are in the books.Fortunately, in less bloodthirsty times, the possessors of cypress wands are rarely called upon to lay down their lives, though doubtless many of them would do so if required.
