This lecture will examine the phallic nature of The Elder Wand, and its use as a symbol of masculine power, and identity. Essie will discuss the factors that allowed Harry to defeat Voldemort in the penultimate chapter of Deathly Hallows by examining the importance of love between the men in the Harry Potter universe. She will compare the true path of the Elder Wand to the false one, and determine the factors required to become a true master of The Elder Wand.
