HoggyWartyXmas Recs #4 -- Ollivander Edition

hoggywartyxmas reveals will happen on January 9, Snape's birthday.

For my last batch of recs, I'd like to feature all the brilliant stories that star Garrick Ollivander. He's a newcomer to the Hoggywarty cast list, and what a fine addition he is. We get to see him in all phases of his life.

The Weighing of the Wands by Anonymous purplefluffycat
Garrick Ollivander/Albus Dumbledore, Fleur Delacour, Harry Potter, Viktor Krum
I'm particularly taken with this brilliant fic, which is beautifully written and paced, with clever, inventive wand lore. I like that Ollivander remains morally murky throughout.

The Touch by Anonymous lash_larue
Garrick Ollivander and his OC family
This fascinating story is chock-full of clever wand lore. Here we meet Garrick as a pre-teen being tutored as a wandmaker by his grandfather.

The Wandmaker's Son by Anonymous themightyflynn
Garrick Ollivander/Irma Pince
I'd never have thought of this pairing, but the Mystery Author makes it work. We see Ollivander from childhood through old age.

A Fine Romance by Anonymous therealsnape
Garrick Ollivander/his boyhood sweetheart
This delightful story offers book!fic and bookstore!fic and clever romance all rolled into one. The Mystery Author is full of sharp insight and memorable turns of phrase.
