My Wand on pottermore.com

 

"The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter." So said Mr. Ollivander, maker of fine wands to Harry Potter in The Philosopher's Stone. 

The wand that chose me is Dragon core, Pine, 12 & 1/2 inches long, quite bendy. 

So what does all that mean?

 

Dragon:

Generally dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power. They are capable of the most elaborate spells. Dragon wands seem to learn more quickly than other types of wands. Although they can change allegiance if won from their original owner, they always bond strongly with their master.
Dragon wand tends to be easiest if all the wands to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of all the cores to accidents, having a somewhat temperamental personality.

Pine:

The pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing, enigmatic and mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively and will adapt willingly to new methods and spells. Many wandmakers insist that pine wands are able to detect owners who are destined for long lives and as such work best for those owners. The pine wand is one of those that is most sensitive to non-verbal magic.


12 & 1/2 inches long:

According to wandlore, longer wands might suit taller wizards and witches, shorter wands suit shorter wizards and witches.


Quite Bendy:

Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-master pair. Bendy indicates a willingness to adapt and change easily.


So in conclusion, my wand is powerful, independent, sensitive to non-verbal magic, quite flexible and willing to adapt to new methods and spells!

I still think it sounds like a pyromaniac Christmas tree with a serious attitude problem!
