Deathly Hallows Book Discussion **LoTs Of Spoilers**

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I was right! I was right about Harry being the last horcrux!! : ) And I felt so alone when I cried when I heard the prophecy in book 5-- because I thought it meant that neither could live if one of them died (and it sort of did mean that.)

A little confused about the Elder Wand and how it chose/got to Draco (so that Harry could steal it). And what wand Voldemort took from Dumbledore's tomb. Can anybody explain? (I feel confunded.)

SO pissed about Fred-- and really bummed we didn't get to hear more about how George carried on. But I don't think I could take it, really, so maybe that's for the best. What of Luna, what of Luna?? I'd much rather have heard less about the Potter/Weasley cousins going to Hogwarts, and more about the rest of the characters I care about. I loved the book (didn't as much enjoy the isolation of the trio through so much of the early stuff) but I rather thought the epilogue was cheesy.

Kind of grumpy about the lack of Ginny. I mean, she was set up to be such a powerful witch and we hardly got to watch any of her in action (her bravest moment--stealing the sword-- relayed in exposition, sigh.) Her mom kicked bitch ASS, though!

Oh, and poor Ron, worst fear that he'd lose Hermione to Harry. How painful to watch that in vision-form-- how brave of him to destroy the horcrux (and get his girl in the end.) Save the house-elves! That's quite the growing-up he did.

And I must say, I am proud of Neville. So proud of Neville, through the whole of the book (or, well, the parts that he was in.)

Ya-

Dumbledore had the Elder Wand. Draco cornered him in the tower- therefore "defeating" him- and becoming the Master of the Elder Wand.

Because Snape killed Dumbledore on Dumbledore's orders- he was never the master of the wand- but Voldemort did not know this.

During the battle at Malfoy Manor- Harry defeats Draco- taking his wand- by doing so HE conquered the master of the Elder Wand and became it's master- even though he did not have it in his hands.

Voldemort took the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb- but it did not accept him as Master- which is what led to Snape's death (and he died without Voldemort ever knowing Snape was Dumbledore's man) and eventually to Voldemorts defeat- because the wand saw Harry as it's Master.
