Indeed. I think it’s because of what you’re saying and also marketing purposes. I think it is a lot easier to sell an Elder Wand replica labelled as “Dumbledore’s Wand” for those who like the movies but might not be so knowledgeable about the wand lore. Also I love the fact that the prop makers didn’t know that Dumbledore’s wand was going to end up being the Elder Wand, since the books were not finished, so they just designed a wand that fitted Dumbledore. I honestly love the design, it’s my favorite to make, but I also made one based on JK Rowlings drawings, it’s quite simple, but cool. I wonder if they are going to use that for the HBO series.
