Note: At Malfoy Manor, Severus Snape meets with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. He reports that the Order of the Phoenix will move Harry Potter, no longer under his mother’s protective spell, to a safe location. Voldemort confiscates Lucius Malfoy’s wand; his own is powerless against Harry because it and Harry’s wand are brothers by sharing the same phoenix feather core. During the move, Harry survives Voldemort’s attack but Mad-Eye Moody and Hedwig are killed. During preparations for Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour’s wedding, the new Minister for Magic arrives. He informs Harry, Ron, and Hermione that Albus Dumbledore left each a bequest: Ron a Deluminator, Hermione a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and Harry the Golden Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match. Dumbledore had also bequeathed the Sword of Gryffindor to Harry, but it has gone missing... |
