June:
Please tell me what chapter that is as there is not 719 pages in the British/Canadian copies.

June:
I never said Harry took the elder wand from Malfoy. I said Harry
disarmed Malfoy of his own wand and because Malfoy had disarmed
Dumbledore of the elder wand, that made the elder wand Malfoy's and
when Harry disarmed Malfoy of his own wand he also took possession
of the elder wand (truthfully I don't quite understand that either
but it says so in the book and in the movie).
