Jill: <<<my name is jill and i've been lurking for a while now. i just
finished GoF for the 4th time this morning, and came across something that
i hadn't noticed before.>>>

Hello and welcome to the group.


Jill: <<<now, it's entirely possible that i'm reading it wrong, but here
goes: ...the chapter entitled the parting of the ways -dumbledore has just
told fudge everything, and fudge is questioning dumbledore's belief in
harry...
"You'll forgive, Dumbledore, but I've heard of a curse scar acting as an
alarm bell before..."
surely it should read i've NOT heard of a curse scar...in order to prove
his point. or is he referring to someone elses curse scar?>>>

Catherine: <<< I've wondered about this as well, and as my editions aren't
very recent, I can't check to see whether it has been changed. If it is
written correctly, then it seems to me that Fudge is dismissing something
he has had knowledge of - therefore he doesn't deem it to be of any
significance.  In which case - why?
I haven't been here for long myself, so I can't verify whether this has
been discussed before.  However, IIRC, I don't think that it came up in the
Chapter 36 discussions a few weeks ago?>>>

I have had a quick look through the archives and I believe this is the
first mention of this. Also I cannot remember it having been picked up
before now.

I am guessing that you both have an early UK printing of the book (like
myself), as it seems to be correct in the US version (thanks to Chloe for
that piece of information). It makes the whole exchange a lot more
interesting, but is unfortunately almost certainly a simple mistype.


Jill: <<<While i'm here, somthing else i noticed:(these have probably
already been mentioned, or else i'm just
stupid!) In the graveyard,when cedric dies:
"From far away, above his head, he heard a high, cold voice say, 'kill the
spare.' A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to
the night:'Avada kedavra!'
Now, assuming V is the 1st voice, as wormtail is hardly in a position to
give orders (&he's often referred to as having a high voice) who is the 2nd
voice?wormtail/pettigrew????????if so, that means cedric shouldn't have
come out of v's wand. Unless wormtail used v's wand of course, or v did do
the killing. i don't know!>>>

I believe that you are correct in your assumption that Wormtail sends the
curse to kill Cedric using Voldemort's wand.


Again, welcome to the group.
