Go hang out with Crabbe and Goyle

Or just finish HBP

It's spoilerish as it can get

So hurry:  the post count's mounting quickly
To almost twenty-two hundred and sixty.

(OK, so quickly and sixty don't rhyme.  You think it's easy to make 
this stuff up?)

I think that's true, and although it might be possible to destroy a 
quasi-spirit wandering the wilds of Albania, it's a lot easier to 
find it once it's embodied.  But that can't be why Dumbledore gleams, 
because then he'd gleam at the news that Voldemort got a body--and 
that isn't what does it.  It's something about Harry, or blood, or 
Harry's blood.

Having poked a hole in that, I should offer something constructive, 
but I can't think of a better way to connect horehounds with the 
graveyard scene than you've suggested.

who likes the term "soul brother."  Very funky!  Get down, Voldy!
