Hi!  Kim (ginnysthe1) here:

Just to clarify, I know I didn't write the portion of the other post 
you included starting "Christopher's enchanted weapons..."  I think 
that was Carol (Justcarol?)

Now to what Chancie wrote:

>When I read this, an interesting thought popped into my head.  What 
 if what ends the Wizarding War, isn't a spell or anything enchanted 
at all. Wouldn't it be ironic if since the DE's are so anti-Muggle if 
it's a Muggle invention that actually kills them?  For instance, 
since they think Muggles are so stupid, and below them (as they do 
other members of the non wizarding world, ie. house elf's, centaurs, 
goblin's...well you get the point.) that there is no way that they 
could make something that could possibly harm them.  Like maybe Harry 
loses his wand, and all he has is some seemingly un-helpful, harmless 
muggle item.  Voldemort then underestimating him gives him the 
opportunity to defend himself, and surprise, surprise, Harry wins!   
Maybe I'm way off the mark, but I think it could be possible.  What 
do you guys think??<<

Kim again:  Actually I think the house elves, goblins, et al. are 
part of the WW, just "lower on the scale," so to speak, from wizards.

I think you have a valid idea, though, that Harry could resort to 
something Muggle to defeat the "anti-Muggle" dark lord.  It makes you 
wonder, too, since Harry and lots of others are part Muggle, if there 
isn't more than a little resentment in the back of their minds of the 
way Muggles are viewed in the WW.  Barring the Dursleys and their 
ilk, there must be loads of intelligent, open-minded Muggles, 
Hermione's parents being one example, who are kind of lumped in with 
all Muggles and given an undeserved bad rap.  And clearly Muggles may 
have something to offer, even if the WW wouldn't really need most of 
it, or else Mr. Weasley wouldn't be so amazed at the ingenuity of 
Muggle gadgets.  After all it was a Muggle car, albeit enchanted, 
that came to the rescue on more than one occasion.  It offered the 
speed, comfort, and protection that a broom probably wouldn't have.   
So thanks for that food for thought!

Kim, who is, dare I say, one of those intelligent, open-minded 
Muggles herself... ;-)
