I hereby decree that "speculum" is the new "Hitler." IOW, please stop? Pretty please?
Sure, as long as you realise I may not be able to look at Hitler again without snickering.
I'm trying to wipe the image of a swastika from my head.

Well, I should think so.
o god, what did he say that he deleted it?
It was just a double post.
Aw, you. Spoiling my fun.
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.
The funniest line in the book was when Ron gave Harry the How to Pick Up Witches book, and said, "It's not all wand work, either." I choked on my water.
I was pretty sure I heard some slashers giggling when Hermione was changing Ron's appearance, and Harry's comment was "well he's not my type, but he'll do."
