Official Harry Potter - Nymphadora Tonks Wand

Product Information

When Tonks went to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, she left her infant son in the care of his grandmother. It's unknown how she took the news of her daughter's death at the hands of her older sister, Bellatrix. One can assume that the loss of her only child was devastating. Just try and relax. If it helps, you can close your eyes and pretend I’m someone else.” he told her. Ruby," Firenze nodded to the half-giant. "What brings you here this night, do you wish to continue what we started?"

A Hufflepuff’s loyalty to the good side is demonstrated clearly in Tonks, and it is extended to people as well, particularly an unswerving loyalty to The Boy Who Lived. Remember that time the conductor of the Knight Bus almost gave away Harry’s location? ‘ If you shout his name I will curse you into oblivion,’ Tonks warned. You don’t mess with Tonks. Beyond Harry, it’s worth remembering that even after the death of her father and giving birth to her son Teddy, Tonks was still determined to fight at the Battle of Hogwarts. ‘Said Hufflepuff, ‘I’ll teach the lot,/ And treat them just the same.’She could hear heavy noises coming nearby and was glad that whatever Ruby and Firenze had gotten up to wasn't so loud as to not hear a tree falling in a forest. These reinforcements had caused the figure to stop before taking off deeper into the forest. She kept her wand trained on that direction until she saw a light from behind her start to cast shadows. "What's happening?" Ruby shouted as she stomped forward. Nymphadora literally means "Gift of the Nymphs." Nymphs are nature spirits and minor deities in Greek mythology who rule trees, sacred groves, streams and the ocean, and are capable of changing their form, just like Tonks. During the Renaissance, northern Europeans equated the classical nymphs with their own legends of elves. If we therefore read "gift of the nymphs" as "gift of the elves", this echoes the ancient myth of babies stolen by elves and replaced by hideous monsters called "changelings". 'Nymph' is also the name of the "immature stage of a dragonfly or damselfly before it moults, before metamorphosing into a winged adult". All three meanings reference Tonks's metamorphosing skills.

In the last film it appears that Tonks is shown in the Quad Battlements with Kingsley, Mr Weasley and her husband Remus, whereas in the books Tonks most likely ran to the grounds to find Remus because that is where Aberforth Dumbledore told her Remus was. Hermione, rather predictably, was the most upset. She scolded at him for not telling them what he was doing in case something went wrong, while Ron was more upset Harry didn’t take him along. By the time they were done talking, Mrs. Weasley, still visibly upset, sent them all off to bed.Tonks rather disliked her given name and considered her mother as a fool for naming her as such, thus insisting to be called "Tonks" instead. She didn't express any rejection when others referred to her as "Dora", a shortened form of the given name she detested so much. This may have been because her father and her husband both called her it. Dobby tennis ball sized eyes teared up at being called a friend even as he looked at him worriedly. He could see the inner war being waged in his mind and, despite his impatience, he gave Dobby time to make up his mind. He felt a bit guilty manipulation Dobby this way, but Tonks’s life was at stake. Tonks's, Remus's, Fred Weasley's and Colin Creevey's deaths caused Harry great pain before and after his ultimate defeat of Lord Voldemort. Teddy would be raised by Tonks's mother, Andromeda, though he would dine at Harry's and the Weasleys' homes three or four times a week. Her son seemed to have a close relationship with Bill Weasley's daughter, Victoire Weasley, making it possible that he could become an official member of the family Tonks herself had been so close to.
