book discussion
topic: Reply to Percy's children (I can't post a comment, apologies!)
If you check J.K.'s family tree for the Potters and the Weasleys (last time I checked it was on mugglenet.com, but I'm not sure it's still there), you will discover that Percy married a women named Audrey. They had two children, both girls. I know one was named Molly but unfortunately I cannot remember the other girl's name! Apologies! But just to let you know that anyway!
Why in God's name would you hope its name was Fred? Everyone in the damn epilogue names their kid after the deceased, except Draco, Ron, and Hermione who have creativity.
The epilogue is very annoying. It's so cheesy. They all get married and have kids and name them after the dearly departed. How CUTE! Ew.
I personally loved the epilogue. I think J.K. actually pulled the whole thing off with minimal cheesyness. And why shouldn't Harry name his children after the people he most admired? It was a very American ending but I loved it and can't imagine it any other way.
Think what you want to think. I liked the epilouge. Maybe it's just cause i'm a girl, but I thought it was really nice. And why woudn't Percy name his child after his deceased brother, he had just recently edorsed and forgiven him! Yeah...um...This book discussion is OVER!
Rowling is carrying on a tradition of great epic stories created since the dawn of literature by memorializing the fallen as their offspring. Why not?
