Looking into how to customise your wand in Harry Potter Magic Awakened? We can help. There comes a time in the life of every witch and wizard when they must choose their want. And with so many magical components making them up, it can be hard to find the perfect one. Except, that doesn't really matter. The wand chooses you, with the materials used being more of an indicator as to why.

And with such a cute art style running throughout the game, wanting to customise your wand to match is warranted.
How to customise your wand in Harry Potter Magic Awakened
Depending on your idea of wand customisation, there's a chance you can't change it up at all in Harry Potter Magic Awakened.
When you go to Ollivander's to buy your first magical pointer, you're left with little choice when it comes to how it looks. You'll cycle through a few, and the components they're made from are either randomly generated until Ollivander decides you've found the right one - which only takes a couple - or everyone ends up with the same starting stick. It isn't clear.
What you absolutely can't do is swipe through each material type. You can't choose your core, wood type, or any of that good stuff. It's a "you get what you're given" situation, with the wand canonically choosing you.
