Are there two objects of a verb?
Given the sentence:
“What did you say you’ve got at home, Malfoy, a Comet Two Sixty?”
I can guess what this sentence means, yet it’s not easy to catch the structure well.: are there two objects of the verb say, ‘what’ and ‘a Comet Two Sixty’? How do you explain this sentence grammatically?

I don't believe they are structurally connected (in spite of the comma). It can be re-written thus: “What did you say you’ve got at home, Malfoy ? ”
