Wand Registration To Prevent Undesirables Slipping Through
By Pilar Rivers
In a new move to increase public security, the Ministry of Magic has debuted a new piece of legislation that will require all witches and wizards to register their wands with the Ministry starting in October. This newest move comes in response to the murder of Torin Selwyn and the so far unsuccessful attempt to capture his murderer. The Minister assures us that there are no ulterior motives to this newest plan, just a desire to keep the public safe from harm and will all them to more quickly trace spells back to a specific wand. The registry will take place at the Ministry of Magic in London a yet to be disclosed time and place within the building itself. It has been confirmed though that the exams and registration will be done by the world renowned wand maker Garrick Ollivander. It is a process many are familiar as it was used in the Weighing of the Wand Ceremony back in 1994 during the Triwizard Tournament. Each person will present their wand to make sure it is in working condition while answering a string of questions including such questions as the wand wood, core, and length. It is a widely know fact that each wand is uniquely designed and no two wands are identical; which makes it a fool proof way of catching criminals.	To insure authenticity the registration will be done randomly. Each witch or wizard will be pooled into random groups and then summoned down to the Ministry for registration one group at a time. This makes it harder for any Undesirables to prepare for the examination and make any attempts to swap wands or purchase a new one. The Ministry will also be working overtime to monitor all owl delivers in an attempt to stop any illegally obtained wands from entering the country. It has also been rumored that the Ministry is attempting to work out an agreement with noted foreign wandmakers which would prevent them from selling their products to customers abroad without first obtaining Ministry approval. We will have more information about this new development as more information becomes available.
