A massive Battle? Woo Hoo!
I took the yahoo ID of Norbertsmummy because of a propsed "Flying 
Armada" as a final showdown with LV. What do we have that flies?

- Buckbeak, the Hippogriff
- Norbert, (Hagrid's pet dragon being trained by Charlie Weasley)
- Thestrells, (Neville rode that better than any broom)
- Firebolts, Nimbuses and other brooms
- Flying Carpets (outlawed in UK, but there are family sized ones)
- Arthur Weasley's car
- Sirius Black's missing motorcycle
- Beauxbaton's giant horses (12, winged, the size of elephants)

I am sure JKR would have fun with all those ... lol
