Wands
Griphook and Luna, Book seven, 100 words
"It's an injustice that goblins are not permitted to use wands!" said Griphook.
"Oh, I don't know, Mr. Griphook. The Ministry makes us use wands to channel magic into known and controllable patterns. Before we attend Hogwarts, we have accidental magic that can do whatever we want, but after Hogwarts, it's all simple spells. It's very boring. It seems to me we'd be better off learning to control our wild magic than restraining it with wands."
Luna leaned forward. "It's a conspiracy, you know. They're afraid of magic. Wands are pointless. I really only use mine as a reading light."
