(snip)  Is Arthur a 7th son?  Or is Molly a 7th?  And does it apply 
to a 7th child, not just a son?  I'm thinking about Ginny of course.


hg replying:
I noticed that in their replies to this post, no one addressed this 
tidbit about Ginny, possibly because the thread was a speculation 
about Charlie's age.  But it's an interesting idea that I have 
wondered about also.  I don't know what canon there would be to 
defend such an idea, but I wonder if anyone else has considered it.

Hello!

I was wondering about Ginny being the seventh child of a seventh child myself. I tried to do some research on it, but the information I got on it was sketchy at best. I don't know if one has to be be the seventh son of the seventh son in order to have special powers or if you can be the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter. (Ahh, all this alliteration!!!) Everyone seems to agree that the seventh child has the power to heal and has second sight. What is interesting is that it is said that the seventh of seven is supposed to expose the evil and corruption of the world, but is marked by those same forces to destroy him/her. I sure feel sorry for Ginny now...

Of course, all this is depending on whether Arthur or Molly is the seventh child. Prove me right, book 6!
