JKR chat re: Pettigrew and Cedric

I dropped out of the Cedric/Pettigrew thread a while back because
there seemed to be so many possibilities regarding 2nd wandsmen and
all...it began to boggle my poor little mind.  But after this
morning's chat, it appears that Peter did kill Cedric himself with
Voldemort's wand.

>From the chat:
Rorujin: Did Wormtail used Voldemort's wand to kill Cedric? Is it why
Cedric comes out of Voldemort's wand even though was Wormtail who
killed him?
JK Rowling replies -> Correct!

She doesn't seem to leave much wriggle room on that particular
question (for a change the questioner asked a straight-forward
question and got a straight-forward answer).

Of course, this doesn't eliminate the possibility of other sinister
ESE! turncoats hanging around in the shadows.  It just means they
weren't using LV's wand to kill Cedric.  And just maybe this means
that Peter's got a bit more skill than most (both characters and
readers) give him credit for.  People have underestimated him before
to their detriment, perhaps in book six LV will do the same
(apparently we'll find out what's happened to him since the graveyard
in the next book).

grassy knoll.
