Yeah , that ' s my alt account . s <| sep |> You are assuming that the only use for unicorns is for hair in wands . Unicorn hair has a number of uses , in addition to wands , it is also used in potions and bandages . As uWV 6 l has pointed out , unicorn blood is used by dark wizards to keep them alive , and while it ' s illegal , it seems plausible that death eaters would farm unicorns for this purpose and sell the hair through seemingly legitimate means to wand and potion makers . In addition , unicorn horn is also used in potions and is even sold to muggles though frequently these are fake . This is just the uses of unicorns that we muggles know about , it seems plausible to me that they may also be used for other things . While we don ' t know if unicorn meat is consumed , it seems likely that if an animal is slaughtered for its blood , that its meat could also be used . I ' m telling you , it ' s more sinister than it appears .
