Still no direct answer for whether or not we are in a Mirror!Verse. Confirmation that Voldemort is acting to prevent Harry from destroying the universe—But I find myself still confused as to what he wants to do with Harry that is more important than killing him immediately to protect the universe. I would think that possibility negates any benefit of keeping Harry around.
In useless trivia: the Death Eaters got those masks and cloaks on in a hurry. It suggests that the outfits are some sort of spell that can be quickly applied, if seconds after being summoned the Death Eaters can arrive in full regalia.
The Dark Lord pressed his wand to the flesh above the severed arm’s elbow, and the fingers twitched, twitched like they were alive; by dim moonlight Harry saw a darker mark appear on that flesh, just above the elbow.
Seconds later the first hooded figure appeared inside the graveyard with the popping sound of an Apparition. A moment after that came another pop, and then another.
The hooded figures wore silver skull masks, and moonlight fled from the robes beneath them.
Something about that line reminded me of a very, very old quote:
Beneath the moonlight glints a tiny fragment of silver, a fraction of a line...
(black robes, falling)
...blood spills out in litres, and someone screams a word.
We’ve got the robes and the moonlight and the context, but… Harry’s naked, so that can’t be Harry falling and Hermione screaming. I … don’t think Harry would scream for Voldemort at this point.
It suggests that the outfits are some sort of spell that can be quickly applied, if seconds after being summoned the Death Eaters can arrive in full regalia.
This is a feature of the Mythic Dawn armor in Oblivion, and actually one of the cooler things about the game, I thought—the sleeper agents are dressed and act like normal people, and then BAM, conjured full plate.
And it’s not like you would want your agents to be exposed when people rummage through their things.
