Real World Invisibility Cloak
They are making progress. And not to be a snob but still, this is your standard Wizarding invisibility cloak with Muggle branded versions of Disilliusioning Charms. That’s still incredible and Arthur Weasley would totally flip out over that. But as a Harry Potter nerd, I just can’t see how any of this is going tomatch the caliber of a cloak crafted by Death for one of the brothers Peverell. I mean, you know?

I wrote about this recently with the same ambivalence. I think Dumbledore has some wisdom for us on this one. Given the meaning attached to Harry’s cloak in the Potter books, this one is more real in my head than it would be in my hands.
