This wand was used by the character Alastor, “Mad Eye” Moody (Brendan Gleeson) in the fourth installment of the series, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” (2005). “Mad-Eye” Moody was a wizard, arguably the most renowned Auror of all time, and a pivotal member of the Order of the Phoenix during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. Moody served with distinction during the first conflict, gaining a considerable reputation, as well as losing an eye, leg, and part of his nose while fighting the Dark Arts. As a result, Moody became overly-cautious and paranoid about his security. Mad Eye also accepted Albus Dumbledore’s offer to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, but was temporarily kidnapped by Barty Crouch Jr., who disguised himself as Moody. After he was rescued, the real Moody became a member of the second Order of the Phoenix. He fought in several battles of the war, including the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle over Little Whinging where he was killed by Lord Voldemort.
