***SPOILER ALERT***
I'm re-reading and noticing things. My god, Hermione whines. "But Harry you promised you wouldn't let the Dark Lord overpower you anymore and get into your head!" Damn it, girl, you think he enjoys this? You think he doesn't remember anything unless you harp about it?
And Harry calls Draco "Draco" in his thoughts after he sees Draco being the one casting the Cruciatus on Dolohov. Has he ever referred to Draco by first name in his own thoughts?
Yeah, I'm a slasher, what of it?
On re-read I am noticing that JKR does spend a fair amount of time on wandlore even if it is still convoluted in the climax. t /porn
Like someone said...the wand may be unbeatable, but that doesn't mean the wielder is.
Excalibur was supposed to grant unearthly powers and unsurpassed victory to Arthur...but the dude is still dead and shit.

am I THAT forgettable?
No, Vortex, you're not.
I am THAT senile, though.

Oh God. I loved Hermione in this book, I really did, but that particular refrain got pretty irritating. HE GETS IT, HERMIONE.

In THIS book, right? That was evident. What about the others?

I haven't re-read the others so I can't say. Though it doesn't seem entirely fair to bitch about the wand ass-pulling if she does give clear indication (many times over) that WANDLORE is mas importante in this book.
