Though does the soul split in half with the first Horcrux, then the remaining part split in half again, and so on? So 1/128th of a soul.

Oo, even better point!

That's why Voldy didn't notice it when he lost part of himself in Harry.

Aww it's nice that Big D doesn't think Harry is a waste of space. I have to agree with Vernon, Kingsley would be my first choice as well.

This is an adorable sketch of Sirius, Remus, James, and Peter horsing around in the Marauder's era.

I'm up the point of arrival on the Tonks house. All of the sudden no Hedwig and no Firebolt. I wasn't expecting either of those, I thought the Firebolt would come into play at some point. I have no idea what is up with his wand either. I liked the chase sequence, very tense, I wonder if everyone will make it ok, the title of Chapter 5 seems to indicate not since Hedwig isn't exactly a fallen warrior.

I was also somewhat skeptical about how Harry or Hagrid could have survived their landings, but whatever, in a book full of magic it's easy to handwave off stuff like that. I was also confused about Voldamort suddenly disappearing but it made perfect sense in the end.

I'm terribly enjoying watching Gud go through this.

The waiting sequence was nicely tense knowing that somebody wasn't going to come back from the chapter title. I figured it had to be Kingsley, Tonks, or Moody since they are aurors. George's ear was sort of a shock, the twins have seemed impervious from harm but he doesn't seem too fussed over it. Nonetheless the ear is another blow to the Snape is good theory. It seems like the information Snape gave about the departure date was just too useful for it to be a ruse to get Voldamort to trust him. Alas it was Moody, well I can't say I'm shocked but I will miss the character. Like Harry said, he seemed too tough to die (isn't that a Remones song?), but from a storytelling perspective it isn't a surprise. I wonder who Snape's source is, I figure whoever it is isn't aware of giving Snape info. The question of where Olivander is has also been answered, not that it is much of a surprise.

Now I'm reading a lot about wedding preparations and Mrs. Weasleys plot to keep Ron, Harry, and Hermione apart. I have to admit I really don't see why she would want Harry not to drop out of Hogwarts, that just makes no sense to me. Once again, I am amused by Mr. Weasly and his secret muggle vehicle. I guess I'll be listening to the wedding part next.

I'm all twitchy with dread and anticipation as Gud goes through this.
