But judging by my reaction when I read Camilla's post, it seems unlikely I'll change my mind about finding the whole Elder Wand thing utterly lame, contrived and cheapening the book if not the whole series. As is, incidentally, the way Rowling suddenly tells us out of nowhere, with Ron's extremely belated realization confirming Xenophilius' words, that invisibility cloaks aren't supposed to be like Harry's. I strongly disagree with Camilla that it feels as if she's planned this for a long time (though she well may have done), considering that the only one of the three Hallows that's been displayed prior to this point requires the borderline retconning revelation of its being unique, to fit into it.
