Harry is the master of the hawthorn wand and not of Hermione's wand. Why should they work equally for him? Shouldn't the hawthorn wand be more capable than Hermione's in Harry's hands? Does friendship and enmity with previous owner or lender affect how the wand works?

{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
As we know, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Basilisk|Basilisk]] venom destroys Horcruxes. With the Sword of Gryffindor now no longer available, Harry may have to go to the only place that the venom exists: the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Chamber of Secrets|Chamber of Secrets]] beneath [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. As it turns out, there will be a more compelling reason for Harry to return to Hogwarts; [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], enraged when he discovers that a Horcrux has been stolen, will shortly visit all his Horcruxes to reassure himself they are safe, and Harry, tuned into Voldemort's thoughts, will learn that one Horcrux is hidden at Hogwarts. Thus, he will be forced to visit the school in any event. At the moment, though, Harry is more interested in collecting Horcruxes than destroying them; we will see that he does not even consider how to destroy the Cup Horcrux, being more concerned with preventing Voldemort from reaching the one at Hogwarts.
