AmanitaMuscaria now - I reckon it's Gringotts, and it's Kreachur 
threatening Harry, or victorious over him, holding Gryffindor's 
sword. Perhaps he's just captured it for Voldy? Ron & Hermione are 
being thrown into the vault through some elfish special power. The 
armour - there's a helmet and body armour with dragon or gryffin on, 
and a silver shield as well as all the gold stuff - is the rest of 
Gryffindor's outfit - except Dumbledore said something about the 
sword being the only relic of Gryffindor, didn't he?

AmanitaMuascaria now - Hmmm - I like that thought - fits in with 
Lupin being the least defined of the Marauders - patronus and boggart 
the same. Not convinced about ESE though.
I thought burns for the injuries, as whatever caused them appears to 
have shirred up the robe on Harry's arm.

AmanitaMuscaria now - I think it's the room of the Veil - it's 
described as a 'theatre' - sorry, I'm in work without my books - with 
tiered seating - Hermione refers to it. My take on the picture is the 
rubble (wood and stone) is the ceiling of the room having been 
destroyed by Voldie and Harry's battle; there are people on the 
tiered seating, watching the battle, but the people aren't 
necessarily alive... Harry and Voldie are battling wandless ... 
something has happened off-screen.
