Personal Bio :: Born in Turkey, and moved to England when I was 17, Valyree never attended Hogwarts. I instead was home schooled, and later went on to be apprenticed with a local Wand maker, who taught me everything that I know about wands. I ran a Wand Shop elsewhere for a while, but no one wanted to buy her wands... they all wanted Olivanders. Still I made enough to get by doing wand repairs, for people who couldn’t get to London to have their Olivanders Fixed. My wands are rather distinct in their style, and do not have the mechanical air of Olivanders wands. Not all the wands for sale in Olivanders were made by Olivanders anymore, though many were, he certainly left enough of them behind. Some of the ones that have been sold over the years, though few, were made by ME, and sold to student’s who’s wands simply had to have a core other than the three that Olivander specialized in, Dragon Heartstring, Unicorn Hair, and Phoenix Feather. I've not yet had an apprentice but I'm always on the look out for a good young person to take under my wing, and teach the trade... and get to sweep the floors, and wash the windows, and take out the trash...
