> But she just gave canon that indicated Hermione is doing the cooking and washing up and gathering food. That you can come up with a reason besides "they made her do it because she's a girl" or pointing out Ron and Harry doing other things doesn't change that. Whether or not one finds it sexist, the girl's mostly doing the cooking and washing up.

But you've got to take the canon as a whole, not keep twisting a single 
instance into some PC argument.

> Of course, the Grangers are never in any actual danger to begin with (to answer Carol's question about how the movie would handle it, but guess is they'll ignore it since it never had to be there to begin with). The Grangers being memory charmed doesn't prevent them from being tortured or from being sitting ducks. It just makes them even more ignorant than they already were--which was pretty ignorant.

apparently they were in danger until Hg performed the memory charm and 
moved them.  Surely you don't think finding and torturing the Grangers 
wouldn't drive The Trio out of hiding to save them?
