By the way, I must have missed it but does anyone know what happened to Crookshanks?

Maybe he's in Australia with Hermione's parents. I don't think she would have brought him along.

No, he was at the Burrow. When Harry, Hermione and Ron left the wedding suddenly, he stayed behind.

I think that the Elder Wand was not "won" simply by who happened to take it; and therefore, I don't think that the wand would have done anything special for Draco Malfoy.

Right and wrong--I just reread that part, oddly enough. HP explains to LV, while they circle each other before their final duel, the difference between the winning and the taking of a wand. Draco did win the wand, in spite of there having been no duel, because he disarmed Dumbledore. The wand was buried with Dumbledore, but it was no longer his. Pages 742-743--HP explains it better than I can. He even demonstrates that the Deathstick was Draco's.

Had Draco somehow ended up with the Deathstick before he'd been disarmed by HP at the Manor, I have no doubt he could have used the wand to great advantage.

Oh, ok. You're right, I read it like r9etb did that the power transferred to the other wand. But now I'm confused, how did Potter enter the Hallows without having all 3 objects? Or have I missed the point all along. I thought because he had all 3 plus his mother's protection that was why he didn't die... I thought that was the point. I'm confused!!! which isn't hard for me. :)

What a waste of time, IMHO.

LOL--I am actually going to miss sanctimonious twits like you who love to give commentary on literature which you have never read. You can't have read any of the books, not if you lump them in with porn for crying out loud.

Funny what some folks think is a waste of time! You stopped by and posted a comment on a thread which clearly has no interest for you. I'll stick with literature, thanks.

Yeah, I had that one noted as a part to re-read as well. I'll look at it tonight.

I think he didn’t die because LV was keeping Lily’s protection working, somehow...I’m still confused about that, even after a second reading of the last four or five chapters. Dumbledore explains it to HP and HP seems to understand what the hell he’s talking about, but I’m still not sure.

Another example of things going full circle:

Harry arrived at Number 4 Privit Drive via Hagrid and Sirus’ flying motorcycle.

He left the same way.

He attained mastery over all three Hallows, even without possessing them physically. He used the Cloak to protect, he used the Stone, not to truly summons the dead back to life, but in his attempt to join them; and he proved himself master of the wand by beating its owner.

I’m going to Ireland in September. I’m going to try to get Evanna Lynch’s (Luna) autograph. If you hear about a yank being thrown into prison in Dublin, send bail money in Euros.

True. Plus, when he goes to meet LV in the forest, he doesn't know that he has mastered the wand. DD tells him that in Kings Cross.

So, Harry, unlike others seeking theHallows, does not want to use them to cheat death. He went to his willingly.

Regarding Lily's blood protection-LV kept that alive by using Harry's blood at the rebirthing!! HAHA

In the forest, LV killed the only thing that was vulnerable, his own soul piece residing in Harry.

Thanks Voldie!!

You stabbed deep. I attempted to read one but could not see the fascination—I said in an earlier post my kids have the books. I don’t think these are all kids commenting here, but perhaps I am in error. Yes, I did waste a minute posting.
