upset that she killed off some of the best characters in the book, but
I will be hugely upset at what I will see as a cop out.  Ho - hum,
kill the hubby and most of the children...funny, doesn't Saving
Private Ryan start something along those lines? 

Neri:

As you say, it would be a huge cop out if everybody Molly saw dead
will indeed be killed (especially as it includes Harry also), and if
it is only one or two of them who die then this whole scene was a
rather bad clue. This is why I'm afraid that the dead Weasley will be
one that the boggart did NOT change into. This can be either Ginny
(which is suspiciously absent from this vision) or Molly herself, or
both. I sure hope I'm wrong in this.



Kethryn again -

Again with the shudders!!!  I like Ginny and I like what JKR has done with her in the last book in particular; moving her gracefully from a 2D character into a 3D, something I never thought she attained in the previous books.  And I really like the apparent "offscreen" relationship that Hermione shares with her.  Even though the story is told from Harry's PoV, we still get some sideline commentary from both Hermione and Ginny which only adds, deepens and strengthens the whole.  Not to mention, it adds a interesting sidebar to say the least and gives greater insight to a lot of people's characters.

Of course, I also like Molly.  She is the next best thing to a mom that Harry has but I do wonder if that maybe is sealing her fate.  Voldemort, after killing James, Lily, and Sirius (indirectly, of course, but the end result is the same) could hardly resist going after Harry's surrogate mother, if only to complete the set.

No!  I got it!  It will be their cousin who is the accountant who bites the big one!

Yeah, ok, right.  That I can deal with *G*.
