It occurred to me as I was reading several semi-related posts about
the ending of the series, that we have numerous plot devices available
to us to facilitate the ending of the Series-

There must be more. Feel free to add to the list; what + how.


Neri:

All good points, Steve. I especially like your house-elf suggestion. 
Could Dobby's parents defy Voldy three times? 

("Bring the Dark Lord a nice cup of tea, Debbie". – "Won't, Mistress 
Malfoy! Bad, bad Debbie! Must run to iron her hands"). 

Or could Dobby be the hand? Or the "other"? 

(note to self: add the Dobby option to RPD v.2). 

My own contribution to the list of terminal plot-devices: The mind 
link between Harry and Voldy, naturally. A huge surge of The-Power-
The-Dark-Lord-Knows-Not through the link might do it. In moments of 
fluffiness I imagine this surge as a mental Patronus taking the form 
of a great black dog.

("Expecto Padfoot!")

Also, the priori incantatem scene in GoF makes me think: could Voldy 
be somehow vanquished by the ghosts of all his past victims?


Neri, spending an enjoyable Saturday thinking of creative ways to get 
rid of dark lords.
