I'm still really curious how the Deathly Hallows are going to tie into this.

Okay. Hm. I think maybe you can't transfigure Hermione into Hermione if you don't have a true image of what Hermione was like. But if you had the Resurrection Stone, maybe you could use it to create a true image to work from?

No idea about the wand/cloak.

Ahem. The current adventure will not go smoothly. Probably the best argument against my solution is that it also is not mass-producible without more work. And Harry could still do artisanal resurrections.

(We can expect the centaur back. Doubt he'll be able to find the pieces of that beetle, though.)
