The Elder Wand is stated to bethe most powerful wand in the Wizarding Worldand comes with a unique enchantment.
But where did Grindelwald get it from?
It has been stated in lore that he stole it from the wandmaker Gregorovitch (Rade Serbedzija).
Stole, not earned.

Why didn’t it destroy Harry?
Before Harry kills it, he is bitten, and the Basilisk’s fang becomes embedded in his arm.

He then uses it to destroy the Horcrux contained in Voldemort’s diary.
The most likely answer as to why the Basilisk’s fang didn’t immediately kill Harry is because authorJ.
K. Rowlinghadn’t thought that far ahead just yet, and the Horcrux plotline wasn’t entirely developed.
5Fawkes
How did he and Dumbledore become bonded?
He resides in Dumbledore’s (Richard HarrisandSir Michael Gambon) office and possesses many magical abilities.
One ofthe most famous non-human characters inHarry Potter, Fawkes is still capable of showing emotion and feeling.

Where is Fawkes originally from, and how did he and Dumbledore meet?
Furthermore, what reason does Fawkes have to trust Dumbledore?
4Life’s Savings
Where in the world did the Potters get so much money?
This money, of course, causes a lot of questions.
They should have invested all that money into more protection from the Dark Lord.
3The Veil
What is it, and where did it come from?

In a large, empty room is a huge stone archway.
Later, when Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) is killed, he slips through this Veil and vanishes.
This object, which has come to be known simply as “The Veil,” is never explained.
How did the Ministry discover it, and what was its original purpose?
2The Marauder’s Map
How did imposters go unnoticed?
Or perhaps they did, but they didn’t tell Ron because they thought it would be funny.

Either way,how these wolves in sheep’s clothing managed to escape discoveryis unknown.
1The Fidelius Charm
Why didn’t the Potters go for the obvious solution?
James chose his old high school friend, Peter Pettigrew, to be their secret keeper.
Of course, Pettigrew then sold them out, which led Voldemort to their doorstep, causing their demise.
Voldemort probably would have never found them that way.
This solution is so obvious that it’s a real wonder why they didn’t take this route.

Honestly, this one goes way beyond a standard unsolved mystery this isa straight-up, glaring plot hole.
