Gilderoy Ollivander

Backstory

Gilderoy Ollivander was the proprietor of Ollivanders in Diagon Alley during most of the 20th century. Ollivander was widely considered the best wandmaker in the world, and many wizards and witches buy their wands from him. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his youth, where he was sorted into Ravenclaw House. Ollivander grew up in the family business, and showed precocious talent in wandmaking. Soon, he developed an ambition to improve upon the cores and wand woods he made and developed a determination to pursue the ideal wand.
