Carol responds:
Speaking of the silver hand, wasn't it just conjured out of thin air?
Has anyone considered the possibility that it might just evaporate
after a few hours or days like Leprechaun gold? We haven't seen Peter
at all since the graveyard scene in GoF where he was so grateful for
the beautiful and powerful ne hand. Might that be the reason?

And yet it seems like a waste of an interesting plot device to get rid
of it so easily, especially given the connection between silver and
werewolves. Does anyone have any ideas how JKR could get around the
problem of a conjured object being transient? Or will I have to just
accept it as another Flint because the hand is too important to the
plot to have it follow the magical "laws" that JKR herself has
established?

Carol, who thinks that if there's a conflict between Pettigrew and
werewolf!Lupin, Pettigrew will win
