Hi, guys! I need help with one sentence in SS/PS. Could some English-
speaking person explain to me how they understand the following
sentence: "He caught that thing in his hand after a fifty-foot dive"
(Ch. 9, "The Midnight Duel", p.151 Am.ed. or p.113 Br.ed.). It's
something that McGonagall says to Wood, after witnessing Harry's dive
for the Remembrall.
Does "in his hand" define the word "thing" here or does it define the
word "caught"? Does the first part of the sentence mean something
like "He caught the thing that he is holding now in his hand
[Remembrall]", or does it mean "He caught that thing with his hand/into
his hand/using his hand"?
I will really appreciate your help (off-list is also OK :-)), I'm kind
of in the middle of an argument about this sentence, LOL!
