I'm going to make one more attempt to explain argument: My opinion is
that the Molly-Bella duel scene was not well-written as it did not
ring true in the context of the books, and was written like a show
down in an action movie.

CathyD now:
Exactly!  That was one of those "made for the movie" moments, IMO.  Or, made for the video game. 

Guzu again:
I believe this might be my last post on the subject, as I am beginning
to feel like I not only have a different set of books than most people
here, but I am also from a different planet. Such is life-- we all
bring our own experiences to the table when we read. However, we are
all fans who care enough about the books to post our thoughts. 

CathyD again:
You and I must be reading the same edition, then. What bothers me most, is I thought, when I joined this list after OotP, that this was a group for adults, where we could discuss all differing sides of a subject.  At the moment it seems like if you don't belong to the "JKR is the best writer in the world, never makes a mistake - you just read it wrong - and DH is the best piece of literature ever written" group then your opinions aren't welcome here.  I certainly - CERTAINLY - don't belong to that group...and so take the time to post very little.

them on it.  Please extend the same courtesy to others who feel the
opposite.

>>This type of discussion, as there is no canon to back up what type of
work Molly has done before or hints of her power, can only be an
opinion discussion.  There is no right or wrong side to it.  Just how
we felt about the outcome of it.

CathyD:
Who, sorry list elves, couldn't agree more!
