Charms Lesson 2 asks
for the details of one's wand: wood, core, length, and flexibility.
All these aspects can be assigned to you by Pottermore's quiz, but some might
feel that the traits aren't right for them – or don't understand what the
traits are.

So here's my condensed version.

The wands of war heroes Harry Potter,
Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley all line up with their birth dates under the Celtic tree calendar. Further meanings
are assigned in Ollivander's notes,

Jun 10 – Jul 7 = Oak

Jul 8 – Aug 4 = Holly

Aug 5 – Sep 1 = Hazel

Sep 2 – Sep 29 = Vine
