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?
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.)

No idea about the wand/cloak.
