Cool! If I hadn't just posted my own thoughts on this before reading 
yours, I would have thought I'd written yours. I think we felt exactly 
the same way about the whole Hallows mess. AFAIC, it could (no, should) 
have just been left out. DH would have been more coherent, the pacing 
would have been much improved and I wouldn't have gotten a migraine 
trying to figure out the whole musical wands thing.

Again - absolutely. If a wand changes ownership every time it's 
Expelliarimus-ed -- well, I don't see how anyone in the WW would have 
kept his wand more than a week. Given how many people LV killed, why'd 
he need to borrow Malfoy's? He must've had a couple of trunksful of 
sticks to choose from. Though I imagine Ollivander wouldn't mind the 
extra business in replacement wands.
