Can someone please tell me how long Harry Potter's wand was in the books, along with what it was made of and what the core was?

Eleven inches, holly, and Phoenix feather, supple. His phoenix feather comes from Fawkes, the pet of Albus Dumbledore. Fawkes gave two feathers for wand-making: the other feather resides within Voldemort's wand. The properties of holly assure precision, so it is often used in the making of weapons. Because of this, holly is associated with combat, protection, and warding off evil spirits. Holly is also an evergreen, which symbolises endurance. It has a long-standing association with death and rebirth in both Pagan and Christian lore, and is a symbol of Christmas, which represents the birth of the Saviour in Christianity. She (Rowling) says that she later found out that it was his "wood" according to the Celtic calendar.

Holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple; an unusual combination. It is the "brother" to Lord Voldemort’s wand, (PS5) in that both contain a feather from Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes

Core is pheonix feather. I'm pretty sure the wood is holly. I think the wand is 14", but I really don't know where I got that number... it just seemed to fit.
