> Hi - I realize I'm very late to the party, but I just finished 
the Harry Potter series (and loved it). But I have a question about 
Deathly Hallows, which may have been addressed before I got here. 
> It's about the sword of Gryffindor. In reading the last book, I 
thought that Griphook the goblin took the sword when they were in 
Gringott's. But then at the end, Neville takes it from the sorting 
hat to kill Nagini. Are there two different swords? Or did I miss 
something important earlier in the book? If anyone can help me out 
> here, I'd appreciate it.


Valy:
 If I remember well, "only a true Griffyndor" can take the sword 
out of the Sorting Hat, Harry did it too in CoS. I guess the 
Sorting Hat is a sort of "portkey"; the sword is laying around 
somewhere, but only a true Griffyndor can find it from the Sorting 
hat. I have to re-read DEs, lol.
 It's true it's a bit confusing. Maybe the sword is hidden in 
Gringotts, and since Goblins have different magic than Wizards... 
But we have to assume Neville is a true Giffyndor too. :D

Argh... I'll leave it to others... lol
