Ginny

[wildirishrose]

I'm not taking this to the main list, because the other discussions.  Or maybe I'll take it over to the main list after a bit.

I have a question/comment.

I'm listening to the last part of DH.  Mrs. Weasley is hell bent and bound that Ginny is not going to go into Hogwarts to do battle.  She's too young.  She's only 16.  Valid point.

Say Ginny is of age, 17.  She has every right to go fight.  How anxious/willing would Mrs. Weasley still be for her to go fight Voldemort.  Her only daughter.  The baby of the family.

The boys are of age, they can go.  She seems perfectly willing to let her sons go fight.  Put themselves in harms way.  It seems like it don't bother her so much to see her sons go.  Or is she resigned to the fact that her sons will go, with or without her permission.  If you could call it permission.

I have two sons and 1 daughter.  I would not be willing to watch them go off to battle.  I don't care if they were of age or not.  I would have something to say about the situation, but there's nothing I could do about it either.  They are of age.

By the way.  How old was Luna at the battle of HW?  I thought she was underage too?  I only ask one thing about the DH movie.  I hope they keep Mrs. Weasley's comment of "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU B**CH!" in the movie.  My favorite part of the book.
