Rowling said/says that Harry just went back and got it, she just never showed him doing that.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

flea, I didn't know you'd read Flann O'Brien -- we should have talked books when we met up on Sunday! I'm reading The Third Policeman right now, AIFG. Also weird. That book gets very weird very quickly. But all the stuff about de Selby is hilarious.

Things I Should Not Do: search "Dracula" on eBay in the Collectible Books section. There's a signed first edition of Dracula up. With a buy it now of $75k.

Dear Jilli: You don't have $75k.
Save your money for that first edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Well, yeah. Which is currently on eBay for $750, which I don't have, either: [link]

I have much love for The Third Policeman and At Swim-2-Birds, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hayden (and other Buffistas)-- I want to pimp my friend Kevin's book--The Brothers' Lot. [link] It is really, REALLY good--and has a voice a bit reminiscent of Flann O'Brien. Funny, smart, satirical, impassioned and a beautiful use of language.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
At the end of Order of the Phoenix, Harry and Hermione both lose their wands in the forest with the centaurs. Then they have them again when they get to the Ministry. Am I missing something, or does the book not say how they got their wands back?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I guess we have to assume that they managed to grab them off the ground? Don't they lose their wands because Umbridge has taken them? So maybe she dropped them when the centaurs carried her off.
The hazard of reading via audiobook: I have no way of easily checking such facts.
