- Voldemort’s gotta make a mistake sometime. Be ready for it when it comes.
- Take advantage of the Earth factor. Fight on familiar ground so you can set traps? Also related to fighting on your own terms.
- Don’t worry about the public’s approval (ignore the stupid Prophet articles.) The public doesn’t know the details of the war and can’t. The Prophet is a rag of lies. You would do well to ignore them regardless of topic. I do not doubt that you remember last year’s articles on the Tournament?
- You win by making no mistakes. (How do you make no mistakes??)
- Fighting in and of itself isn’t the goal. If you can win without a fight, do it. Keep end goal in mind. (How can I kill Voldemort without fighting him?) It seems unlikely, it is true. However, do not forget the first note you made on this chapter; the Dark Lord may make a mistake that will leave him vulnerable in a way you do not expect. Do not miss a chance to win just because you are looking for a traditional fight.
