Sirius Black was killed by the queen Bellatrix.
Who is the queen on the Order's side? Ginny? (I believe that Ginny
is being set-up for something. Ginny also played Harry's position in 
Quidditch and may eventually take over Harry's position against 
Voldemort at some crucial moment. Will she step in to save Harry like 
he saved her? Is she a metamorphmagus or an animagus?

Valky:
I was very PRO -super!Ginny at one stage not long ago, so I agree
that her character has been set a stage for an important role in the
end battle. I think that the points you make here are the best ones.
ie 1 Ginny has seeker potential (though she would prefer to be a
chaser) and 2 she has shared minds with Voldemort.
Almost as though Ginny is the unwitting apprentice!Harry of the
books. I agree that for a brief and glittering Moment Ginny will
have to *be* Harry but I can not offer much more in terms of a
context there. Maybe next week something will come to mind. In the
meantime this is a good discussion that's been missing from the
boards recently, hope that it takes off again.


vmonte again:

Yes, she played two roles while playing Quidditch!!! Interestingly, a 
the queen chess piece is also very versatile. It combines the powers 
of both the rook and the bishop. It can move horizontally, 
vertically, or on the diagonal! In a sense, it's like the king 
(silently represented by Dumbledore) in that it can move in any 
direction.
