Caesian's 50 pence:
Mr. Ollivander greets Hagrid in PS/SS - and recalls Hagrid's wand was 16 inches, Oak, 
rather bendy - good wand, that.  But I suppose they snapped it in half when you were 
expelled (suddenly stern).  Hagrid replies, Yes sir, yes they did - I still have the pieces 
though (last bit added brightly).  But you don't use them! (Mr. O).  No sir, no (H - clutching 
pink umbrella rather tightly) Mr O. - hmmmm.

It is a long standing pet-peeve of mine that any wizard or witch is wet, cold or otherwise 
influenced by the elements.  Bubble head charms?  Impervious?  Harry nearly freezing to 
his broom in the rain just because they haven't figured out how to imperturb their cloaks?  
Move over Freg and George, I could be a galleonaire with that bright idea.
