Elder Wand

“So the oldest brother, who was a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence: a wand that must always win duels for its owner, a wand worthy of a Wizard who had conquired Death!” -The Tale of Beadle the Bard

Maybe the most wanted Deathly Hallow, made of Elder and Thestral’s hair was stole from Gregorovich from Grindelwald. After Dumbledore will defeat him in duel, he will possess its loyalty, until Draco Malfoy will disarm Albus Dumbledore in the Astronomy tower. Harry Potter will subsequently disarm Draco in Malfoy’s manor, winning the wand loyalty. 

Grindelwald stealing the Elder Wand from Gregorovich

Regarding the physical possession of the wand there are many hands who have holden it: Antioch Pervell, his killer, Emeric the Evil a very aggressive wizard (it’s unknown if the wand has been possessed by someone before him) who was slaughter at the end of a duel against Egbert the Eregious. Was subsequently gained by Godelot who used the power of the Wand to write Magick Moste Evil a book which contain various informations about Dark Arts, including references to Horcrux. He will die imprisoned in a cell, where his son put him in order to master the wand: Hereward. Succeded by Barbanas Deverill who brought a reign of terror with the wand, until it passed in Loxias’s hand; who used the one to kill anyone who displeased him, he was eventually killed by Arcus and Livius, the reason was that Loxias believed one of them was the next master of the Wand. It’s not clear who of the two gained the wand, what is known is that the next successor was Gregorovich, who was robbed by Grindelwald who cast a Stunning Spell on Gregorovich, to full aquire the power of the Wand. Dumbledore wins the wand, and its loyalty, in the duel against Grindelwald becoming his master. When Snape will kill him, he’ll be burried with it. Voldemort will steal the wand from his grave, and will lately kill Snape believing him his last owner. Instead was Draco who disarmed Dumbledore in the tower, and when Harry disarmed Draco at Malfoy’s manor, he won the wand loyalty. When he’ll defeat eventually Voldemort, he’ll win the wand and will destroy it, well aware of the potential, but also of the peril.
