2. Look in detail at this extract from lines 7 to 16 of the Source: The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between them at the dead
center of the circle they had been treading, marked the point where the spells collided. Harry
saw Voldemort's green jet meet his own spell, saw the Elder Wand fly high, dark against the
sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling like the head of Nagini, spinning through the air
toward the master it would not kill, who had come to take full possession of it at last. And Harry,
with the unerring skill of a Seeker, caught the wand in his free hand as Voldemort fell backward,
arms splayed, the slit pupils of the scarlet eyes rolling upward. Tom Riddle hit the floor with a
mundane finality, his body feeble and shrunken, the white hands empty, the snakelike face
vacant and unknowing. Voldemort was dead, killed by his own rebounding curse, and Harry stood
with two wands in his hands, staring down at his enemy's shell.
