Geoff:
Just in passing, the finger isn't specifically mentioned so perhaps 
that constitutes the fragments.

The other point was that,presumably, he was wearing other clothes 
under his robes, so he could easily have put the wand away before he 
transformed (working on the suggstion that if the wand is in your 
hand, it doesn't go with you).
