The Wand Ban is Clause Three of the Code of Wand Use (passed by the Wizards' Council in 1631). This clause forbids other magical beings such as house-elves or giants to carry a wand; according to Amos Diggory, it is worded "No non-human creature is permitted to carry or use a wand". This clause of the Code of Wand Use was probably written as a consequence of the Goblin Rebellion of 1612, a bloody and vicious revolution that occurred in Hogsmeade Village. This law was one of the causes that contributed to the later Goblin Rebellions of the eighteenth century, given the anger expressed by some goblins, such as Griphook, about wizards denying goblins the right to use wands.

  • The Wand Ban is Clause Three of the Code of Wand Use (passed by the Wizards' Council in 1631). This clause forbids other magical beings such as house-elves or giants to carry a wand; according to Amos Diggory, it is worded "No non-human creature is permitted to carry or use a wand". This clause of the Code of Wand Use was probably written as a consequence of the Goblin Rebellion of 1612, a bloody and vicious revolution that occurred in Hogsmeade Village. This law was one of the causes that contributed to the later Goblin Rebellions of the eighteenth century, given the anger expressed by some goblins, such as Griphook, about wizards denying goblins the right to use wands. There is apparently a favourable distinction between Non-Human Magical Beings and Part-Human Magical Beings when defining one's right to carry a wand. For example, Hagrid is a half-giant, and while a pure giant would not be permitted to carry a wand under Clause Three, he has a wizard father and is therefore Part-Human and permitted to carry a wand. The same principle then applies to Filius Flitwick, who is a wizard with goblin ancestry. Vampires, hags, and other magical humanoids are not permitted to carry wands. Werewolves, on the other hand, are recognised as humans afflicted with lycanthropy and are permitted to carry wands, though in their transformed state they lose the ability to practise magic as a normal witch or wizard.
