Hmm. We don't see any prior spells at all. What we see are the *results*
of prior spells, mostly ghostly representations of victims and screams.
The spells would just be flashes of green light.

When Diggory checks Harrys wand after the QWC in GoF, a ghostly 
copy of the Dark Mark is produced. Again, the result, not the spell.

Since the spell that marked Harry and blasted Voldy must have been
powerful, I would have expected to see the results  of it (at the very
least the shade of a shattered Voldemort) emerge from the wand.

Or am I being too logical?
