The entire world folded together then. Excellent post, and thanks for sharing the fanart!

While I understood why JKR couldn't show Neville, Ginny, and the rest of the DA, I still missed it!S.P.

My husband asked me at some point about never bringing all three hallows together at once. I said that the point was that it wasn't necessary. That Harry was stronger for choosing not to pursue using all three at once. But he did use them all. He used each in its time.Lisa Gail Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648323153868702165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330251478298712601.post-18135973311905122472011-07-06T12:34:12.127-04:002011-07-06T12:34:12.127-04:00OH MY GOD I cannot wait to see the Battle of Hogwa...OH MY GOD I cannot wait to see the Battle of Hogwarts in action. It's supposed to be a full 30 minutes of the film.<br /><br />The last chapter was such an emotional roller coaster for me. I think the moment Neville whips the sword from the Sorting Hat and cleaves Nagini in two is my absolute favorite part of the entire series. I was always rooting for Neville, from the very beginning. It's amazing how Rowling brought all of those elements together in one epic showdown, especially the house-elves led by Kreacher.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728905100557593958noreply@blogger.com
