Carol adds:
And if we look at dictionary definitions again, according to Merriam
Webster, the "sperical body" definition is especially applicable to
"celestial sperical bodies"--moons and planets, in other words. But of
course the crystal ball suggestion by Lavender (or was it Parvati?)
was a red herring to steer us away from the full moon idea, which
would have given away a key element of the plot of PoA.
