I was very disappointed when I read that part. I loved that Molly killed Bellatrix, but I did not like the "B" word  being used even in a situation like that because it's supposed to be a children's book. I think the "B" word that rhymes with dastard is also used in
the book. I hope these words don't get used in the upcoming films.
