Code of Wand Use

From UnknowableWiki

The Code of Wand Use is a law in the wizarding world that regulates the use of wands. Clause three of the Code of Wand Use states that "no non-human creature is permitted to carry or use a wand". Its precursor is presumably the Wand Ban of 1631, which also forbade the possession of wands by non-human magical beings (W3).

Amos Diggory accuses Winky of breaking clause three of the Code of Wand Use when he finds her holding the wand Barty Crouch, Jr. used to conjure the Dark Mark at the Quidditch World Cup of 1994 (GF9).
