Social Science Plot holes and inaccuracies

Ocean's Eleven:
Where do the flyers come from that are in the bags that are carried out of the vault and into the van? Danny and Linus couldn't have taken them down there and there is no room with the Chinese man. They are carried out to the van before the SWAT team appears, which means they'd have to have been inthe vault to start with.

yeah that's what i was trying to say

Disarming the owner in a duel works the same as killing them - IIRC that's how Draco became the wand's master (he disarmed Dumbledore before Snape killed him).

So presumably Dumbledore disarmed Grindelwald at some point (I can't remember).

Disarming Draco is also how Harry became the master of the Elder Wand.

I think the passing of the Elder Wand came about when the current owner was "defeated". Most of the time this would mean they would be killed (Voldemort's mistakenly thought this was the only way to defeat someone) but as was revealed disarming is also considered defeating your opponent.

Yeah i get that and i'm with you todd that Voldemort made a mistake. It's just that Voldemort's mistake seems a bit out of place. To me it seems like Rowling just overlooked it in order to have Snape die.
