A couple of days ago, alittlewhisper asked (among other things) about what happens to a wizard's wand when they transform into an animagus, and about the mechanics of the animagus transformation itself.

I don't have any answers either, but I do love reading your meta. :)

Woo. Way to much for me to think about here. I am but a simple girl and can't take such indepth analysis so early in the morning.

a simple girl, eh? *giggle* My problem is that my brain is always thinking about shit like this - I just spare you all from the most absurd places that it goes! *g* Less than three weeks to go! I don't know if my brain is going to be able to handle all of the excitement of new meta and new theories and new inconsistencies! (I wasn't in fandom for the release of OotP!) :)

Excellent meta. Some really good thoughts here even if the list in the title looked frightening, heh ( ... )

*g* Sorry about the title - I'm constantly going off on tangents - to the point sometimes where I forget what I was talking about in the first place ( ... )
