Especially given the British meaning of "pants"!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just have to say that I love the expression "Merlin's pants!" It's just so perfectly exactly what they'd say.
There was one especially funny variation on this that Hermione used, but I forget what it was....

Something about his scrotal sack, no?

That was Ron. "Why in the name of Merlin's saggy left..." and then he got cut off with "Don't use that kind of language with your mother" before he finished the sentence.

I suppose the next word he was gonna say might have been "tit."
"Butt-cheek"?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think there was a "what in the name of Merlin's most baggy Y fronts" in there.
Finally finished. In-progress reactions posted over at my livejournal.

Oh yeah - that's what I was thinking of....

That was nifty.
It occurred to me just now as I was catching up in here that someone different took out each Horcrux, but my memory is bad enough that I'm not completely sure that's true. What I remember:
1. Diary, Harry 2. Ring, Dumbledore 3. Locket, Ron 4. Cup, Hermione 5. Diadem, I don't remember? Draco? No, Crabbe with the fire. 6. Snake, Neville 7. Harry, Voldemort
Hm, I think there should be 8, the 7 that V set out to make and then Harry the Accidental Horcrux.
Anyway, I was thinking that each one was destroyed by the person who got most involved with it, but that doesn't work.
Content? Me?
Also, loved Harry calling him Tom at the end. That was a great bit in the movie, too, Dumbledore calling him Tom when he confronted him. It's both cutting him down to size and extending him the tiny possibility of rejoining humanity - have some remorse, Tom.

There were six that he planned to make, so that his soul would be in seven pieces.
