(3) And how did LV have the wand he killed James and Lily with? At
Godric's Hollow, he turned into vapor so he couldn't carry it. So it
must have just fallen down and maybe picked up by someone else at
Godric's Hollow, but the Death Eaters didn't know he was alive or
where he was and if a member of the Ministry got it they would
probably destroy it or keep it well protected (and even if Lucius
Malfoy stole it from the Ministry how would he get it to LV since he
didn't know LV was alive, let alone where he was?). LV spent 13
years as vapor and a snake and like that, and so he couldn't carry it
in any of those states. Wormtail was a rat and couldn't carry it.
LV had to have Wormtail use it in graveyard against Cedric because he
couldn't. So how did he come to have his wand in the graveyard?

More Rowling tidbits from HP4U JKR Edinburgh Festival Report

HP4U has posted a report from the Edinburgh Festival where JKR 
answered a few new questions from two lucky young fans.

"...to where JK Rowling was, given our wristbands, then we went to 
meet her. We said hello and she told us 'she was really glad we could 
make it'. I told her I was really glad to be there and her books were 
the best, I said I wish I could have asked her a question and so she 
told me to 'go on then, ask away!'. I asked JK Rowling would 
Professor Lockhart get out of St Mungos, get his memory back and be 
in any of the next books?, she said no to all of these questions. 
I also asked when Harries [sic] parents were killed by Voldermort, 
Wormtail turned into a rat and pretended to be dead. How then did he 
give Voldermort his wand and robe back once he found him and helped 
give him back his body ?, she told me (after tapping her nose!) 'he 
hid them'. 

I wish I could have asked her lots of questions but these were the 
only ones I could think of at the time."
