Wait… Dumbledore Could Have Fixed Ron’s Wand This Whole Time?!

Okay, so I just had a realization, and now I’m kind of mad.

We know from Deathly Hallows that the Elder Wand can actually repair wands—Harry literally uses it to fix his after it breaks, which was supposed to be impossible.

Now, thinking back to Chamber of Secrets… Ron’s wand was completely busted after the Whomping Willow smashed it. He had to spend an entire year dealing with backfiring spells, including that slug incident. And guess who had the Elder Wand the whole time? Dumbledore.

You’re telling me he could have just fixed Ron’s wand in two seconds and chose not to? Like, “Oh hey, this 12-year-old is struggling to do basic magic and could actually be in danger, but nah, let’s just let him suffer through it.”

I get that Ron eventually gets a new wand, but that’s a whole year later. A whole year of spell mishaps and general misery. Did Dumbledore just forget? Did he think it was a character-building exercise? Or was he just secretly enjoying the chaos?
