All very well, but not exactly grisly, are they?
To be grisly it needs the yuck factor.
Grisly would be if Voldy had to open up Harry's skull like an unfolding
rose and rummage around in the porrage stuff for his missing fragment.
And wiping his hands on his shirtfront afterwards.
Grisly would be Neville kissing Trevor in the deluded belief that it'll turn him
into Miss Wonderful - and getting Madeline Bassett. 
Or Crookshanks getting hit by a truck and being stenciled down the road
by heavy-duty Dunlops.
Or Luna being eaten by trolls.
Won't happen of course. But I can dream.

And if the long-anticipated Weasley cull doesn't happen I shall be seriously
pissed.
