Skater314159:

I see Luna being the Maiden in a knowledge/experience sort of way, 
in that Luna is still naive about Voldie's power and many things in 
the world (look at how she believes in crumple-horned snorckacks...).

I think Ginny is the Mother in a knowledge/experience sort of way in 
that since she was possessed by the diary, she now has experienced 
Voldie's power and understands what he is capable of. She is no 
longer naive, but is becoming "worldly".

Finally, I see Hermione as being the crone in a knowledge/experience 
sort of way in that she has much knowledge/wisdom (a key trait of 
the crone) about Voldie - some of it gained from books, and some of 
it from her experiences with Ron and Harry.
