zanooda: 

I don't intend to argue your main point (that the Hallows were 
invented by JKR late in the process of writing the books) - I really 
don't know and maybe you are right about this. I just want to point 
out that *there are* degrees of quality of Invisibility Cloaks. In 
OotP Moody complained about Sturgis taking and not returning his 
*best* IC (p.173), so he had to use his spare one. This means that 
some IC are better (probably just newer :-) than others, and, I 
suppose, Harry's is just the best of them all :-)!
