bboyminn:

Actually, that is a good idea. I don't agree about the
clouds or smoke rising from Harry hand. The cloud we
see extends both to the left and right of Harry's 
hand. But now that you mention it, it does look more 
like Harry is releasing something rather than summoning
something as others have speculated. 

But what could Harry be releasing that would have him
looking happy and Voldemort looking worried? Well, as
you suggest, the last soul piece would be perfect. 

I just don't buy the summoning idea, the gestures and
expression don't seem to fit form me, but releasing
something, they seem to fit that. Great idea.

Just a few months until we know for sure.
