Rereading the scene in question, I agree that this is not a plot hole at all. Aurora initially responds with disbelief and mockery at Harry bringing out Toot, and then the little guy sounds the charge. She is, for an instant, shocked when all the pixies swarm out, and then immediately raises her hadn to cast a spell to obliterate them. Before she gets the spell off, they\'re all over her and slicing her with cold iron. There\'s no way she could have defended herself in time; we know pixies like Toot and his crew are fast as hell when they want to be, and the scene makes it very clear that Aurora is acting to defend herself. She just moves too slowly to actually do anything before one of the pixies slices her hand, and at that point it was all over except for the bleeding.

It also confirms that if Harry had released the pixies further away from her, she would have wiped them out. The only reason they were able to kill her was because they attacked her at close range. Even then, she almost wiped them out. I\\\'m not seeing plot hole here at all.
