I don't think anyone was bitching about wand ass-pulling in general. In fact, I recall some comments (that I agreed with) to the effect that it was great that wand lore played a part in the end, given how much it was brought up over the course of the book. The bitching is about wand ass-pulling in specific. Namely, the shady ownership tactics of that devious Elder Wand.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

It's kind of slutty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Elder Wand practices serial monogamy.
Except when it's doing asspulls.

You can asspull in a committed relationship!
