THe take away from this, and P&T always do this, is that there is a justification for the magic. If you use thread, even if you are awesome, people will think at one point that you have to be using a thread. Even if they can't see it. Even if you have the most brilliant proof steps. It *has* to be thread.

P&T make this about the worms. I bet you people will be talking about how they trained the worms to do that, not how clever it was you couldn't see the thread.

I agree. They took it away from the usual performance of the haunted pack and that sort of "look at what I can do" style.
