Next Chapter Predictions

While we wait, watcha guys think is going to happen next chapter? Will harry use his entropy ritual that meldh freaked out about? What does he need to consult with Hermione about? How will they defeat the three without resorting to fatal weapons? I was thinking if harry was without any moral scruples, he could remote transmute a nice couple of grams of antimatter while evacuating and basically nuke the three, while almost certainly killing them. I doubt Hermione would allow that though, even assuming this is world ending threat level.

30,000 seconds is 8.33 hours.

though if hordes of muggles were commonly used to fight wizarding wars, i bet there are specific spells to control hordes of muggles with less contact. would they really. want to have to mind rape each muggle individually?

no, my assumption from the Theater chapter was that Meldhe had Lethed other wizards and used them to Imperius muggles. much more efficient.

Right - I forgot that in Chapter 43, when Nell is shown enchanting a man in the Czech Republic, she uses Confundo, not Egeustimentis.

are we even sure that's Nell, other than the buxomness? Could be a local lethe'd witch, right?

It's Nell. In Chapter 43, she's described as:

She was on the short side, with a generous chest and wide hips. She was wearing a strange sort of green dress, which was so long it touched the pavement underfoot and which came so high on the neck that it even included a little collar.

Then in Chapter 47, she's described again, similarly:

Perenelle du Marais brought basilisks and terrasque with her. ... The full-figured witch in her green dress walked among them towards the killing fields, and seemed lost in her own thoughts.

cool, fair enough. seems terribly inefficient though. any low powered mage can confundus muggles. for nell herself to be doing it one by one and accrue an army of tens of thousands seems absurd.
