Thanks again to Mugglenet.

I’m disappointed…but impressed.

I mailed to Laura at Mugglenet. She’s the one who handles the mistakes section. I wanted to post the mistake I had spotted on Mugglenet. First I checked al the rules of posting mistakes and following them I spent so much time in writing the e-mail. But several weeks have passed and there’s no reply and the mistake has not been posted there. So this is the cause of disappointment. But I’m impressed because they have spotted another interesting mistake in Deathly Hallows. “The elder wand is supposed to be unbeatable. But Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald who had the elder wand.”
