Ridiculously easy?! It's easy to march into the Forbidden Forest to be
murdered by a maniac? What Harry did was moral and as you read his
thoughts as he walked to his doom it sure seemed to be a struggle to
me. It takes no courage to know what the right thing to do is, but it
can be a struggle to actually do it. I read that article yesterday and
I still can't make heads or tails of it.
