=== [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]] ===
Ollivander is taken andbeing held captive by Death Eaters and can be [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 1|heard screaming]] below their meeting room in the basementcellar of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Malfoy Manor|the Malfoy residence]], seemingly in response to Voldemort's statement that he shall be the one to kill Harry Potter. Lord Voldemort questionsinterrogates Ollivander about ways to overcome the connection between his wand and Harry's. When Olivander's advice ofto using ause different wand works out badlyfails (Harry's wand destroys the wand borrowed from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]]), Lord Voldemort severely punishes Ollivander.
From developments later in the story, we assume that following Voldemort's failure to receive good answers from Ollivander about the failure of the borrowed wand, he had questioned Ollivander about the Elder Wand, also known as the "Deathstick", the undefeatable wand.
Later Harry, Hermione, and Ron rescue Ollivander from the Malfoys'Malfoy basementManor, taking him to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Shell Cottage|Shell Cottage]]. Harry has a long conversation with him following his rescue, in the course of which weWe learn that Ollivander had been forced to make a new wand for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Wormtail]]. WeHe also learn aboutexplains how wands choose their owners and how wandsa wand's loyalty can be transferred from one wizard to another;. thatIt asis part of thea wand choosing its wizard, aand the wand may shift its allegiance partly or wholly to one who actually captures it from the original owner.

Finally, Harry confirms that Ollivander had known that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gregorovitch|Gregorovitch]] had, or at least claimed to have, the DeathstickElder Wand, and had spread rumours that he was studying it to determine its secrets. He also confirms that Ollivander had passed this information on to Voldemort.
Ollivander's long imprisonment has weakened him, and ithis takesrecovery him ais long time to recover, but just before Harry embarks on his mission to Gringotts, we see Ollivander leavingleaves Shell Cottage on his way to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Auntie Muriel|Auntie Muriel]]'s house to convalesce.
