be made with the bodies of the dead. Maybe, DD is taking care
of their graves by ensuring that they aren't desecrated. (I know
I'm morbid.)<
I think this is an excellent point, not morbid at all, except that
black magic in general is morbid. The Hand of Glory, which
appears in CoS, is made from the hand of a corpse. The body
parts of magical creatures have powers after their
deaths--dragon blood and heartstrings for example. Wizard
graveyards probably have very powerful magical protections on
them to keep Dark Wizards from harvesting the remains.
Therefore the Trio could not make a casual visit as Cuaron
would have had them do.
