My Harry Potter adventure filler generator

While watching the first third of the last motion-picture installment of our favourite growth-impeded wizard, I was so frustrated and bored by the linearity and the cookie-cutter narration of some of the scenes, that I started to build in my mind a prototype of what you see below: the adventure filler generator. It's a very useful tool to provide some storyline goop to artificially inflate a normal story into a saga behemoth. Feel free to use it and, like J.K. Rowling, turn a decent 200 pages novel with quirky characters into the equivalent of a multi-story car park for a library and monetize this giant turd by entertaining readers like me unable to concentrate more that two pages in a row (I actually didn't read the books, not because it's a bad book, but because I find more entertaining to write html crap like this than read a book that will end up on the silver screen). Anyway, here goes nothing:

Harry is in his room at Hogwarts and is looking for a magic pencil to write a letter to a girl that he is not sure he fancies and definitely doesn't know how to talk to. While he was looking for the magical artifact...
Step 1) Harry finds almost by accident in a the most extraordinary that Harry has ever seen !
This will no doubt help him in his quest to slain the evil Lord Voldemort !
But first, he certainly knows he has to find the
of , otherwise he would be unable to use the first thing properly, of course !

But it is not quite going as planned and one member of the group (but not the girl or grumpy Ron, ok ?!) had to pay the ultimate sacrifice ! The unlucky member to die in horrible pain while agonising in Harry's arms is:
during which a very
will distract us for a moment from the increasing darkness of the scenario.

As it was very clearly said in the previous book, the
of knows no bounds, and this will have a crucial impact on the next chapter ! Impact of which you will only discover the magnitude because it allows
to !
Clever huh ?
But no time to ponder on the genius of J.K.Rowling ! Harry is at loss of what to do next, now that the Dark Lord is plotting his next evil move and Harry has used all the deus-ex-machina that have been thrown at him at the last minute. He needs to find something... for that he will have to
at the end of which...
Jump back to Step 1) for the next chapter !
(yes, there is just one step 1. Not as complex as it looks anymore huh ?)
