Sueeeyqbong :
I've always taken this to mean the former, ie that whoever is head 
at the time is on the panel.

Sueeeyqbong :
Yeah, this makes no sense to me...maybe it's just one of those 
things we're not mentioned to question too closely, or else the 
theory behind it falls apart, but, to me, it sounds like a 
significant puzzle that might be addressed later in the books. When 
reading your post, it also lead me to ponder on whether Voldemort 
will turn out to be the biggest 'baddy' after all, or whether there 
may be someone else in the wings who will turn out to be an even 
greater threat than Voldemort. Everyone's attentions during the 
series so far have been intensely focused on Voldemort/Riddle as the 
main adversary. Wouldn't it be a great plot device if it turned out 
that we may have been looking in the wrong direction all along? 
Barty Crouch junior would have been a great candidate for the 'even 
more evil than Voldemort' role, though of course, he's out of the 
action since the end of GoF...presumably. Anyone else got anything 
to add to this?

confused!!

Sueeyqbong :
I've always assumed that this was 'avada kedavra'...neat and tidy, 
over too quickly for anyone to run, etc. Could be wrong though.

Best regards, everyone!
