Anne Squires now:

I definitely think it's the confrontation in the Great Hall.  I think
it's when Harry "saw the Elder Wand fly high against the the sunrise."
Voldemort's wand has just flown out of his hand and he's is about to
die.  The only thing is ---Harry should have Draco's wand in one of
his hands.  But, GrandPre has gotten the wand wrong on the cover
before. On the cover's of both OotP and HBP she has harry holding a
wand in his left hand.
