Gerbold Octavius Ollivander was a wandmaker and the grandfather of Garrick Ollivander (Pm).
- He called wands made out of fir wood "the survivor's wand", as he had sold them to three wizards who later all had narrow escapes from death (Pm).
- He often said of those who own wands made of poplar “If you seek integrity, search first among the poplars” (Pm).
- He was falsely accused by second-rate wandmaker Arturo Cephalopos of spreading rumours of the association between wands made of silver lime and clairvoyance, in an attempt to boost business (Pm).
