Calliope:
I wish he could learn it in a less drastic manner; but it would make for
high
drama, especially if they died at Voldemort's hands; then he and Harry would
have something in common.  Though how Voldie could go after Mr/Mrs Weasley,
Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George and not Ron-Ginny in book 5 would be
complicated to set up since F-G would still be in school.
 
   Me -
Umm are you sure about that? I thought Fred and George graduated at the end
of GoF? I can't check right at this moment though. But isn't that why
getting the money for the shop was so urgent for them. It wouldn't have been
if they still had a year left of school.
In which case killing the rest off could be achieved while Ron and Ginny
were at school.

But she wouldn't do that to them would she? I mean if JKR really wants to
get the point through to Ron that what he has is to be envied and far more
important than Harry's gold she could just kill off one Weasley. I think
killing off the lot would push Ron right past moral lesson and well into
total breakdown territory. Assuming Ron didn't just fall apart totally I
think he'd be displaying the well-known, Sirius Black-like Gryffindor
tendency of charging off looking for revenge, on his own, without telling
anyone, leaving his brain in his spare robe and, since he's still a kid,
getting himself fried in the process!

 If she kills off the Weasley clan that might be the one thing that would
drive me into total denial and the realm of fanfiction instead of reading
the rest of the books. I love the Weasleys, all of them. I can't bear to
think she might do that!
