viking-raider:hedwig-dordt:soyeahso:mooncaps:liamgalgey:notawhatbutawho:ryvenchan:dragoon811:gallifreyan-hallows:harrypotterconfessions:I really don’t believe Molly was capable of killing Bellatrix. Bella is a Dark Lord trained Death Eater who frequently is using dark spells. Molly has been a house-wife for most of her life. Surely in reality she wouldn’t know those spells, let alone have ever used them before. Bella knows more and has been practising her skills (even through Azkaban), and yet Molly wins? I cant believe it.(Taiga’s note: never, ever estimate the power of a mother protecting her children.)I can’t wait until some of you idiots have children. See what you’re capable of when your child is in danger. She wasn’t just a house wife, she was a mother. Y’all moms should slap the ignorance out of you.Molly was part of the Order in the first war. She lost her brothers to Death Eaters. She just lost her son, who was named in honour of one of those brothers. Her daughter, her only daughter, is threatened. You can damn well believe that her conviction was strong and she meant every spell she cast in defense of her family. Of course she knows those spells. Of course she wins. ^^^^ This.Very early on in writing the series, I remember a female journalist saying to me that Mrs Weasley, ‘Well, you know, she’s just a mother.’ And I was absolutely incensed by that comment. Now, I consider myself to be a feminist, and I’d always wanted to show that just because a woman has made a choice, a free choice to say, ‘Well, I’m going to raise my family and that’s going to be my choice. I may go back to a career, I may have a career part time, but that’s my choice.’ Doesn’t mean that that’s all she can do. And as we proved there in that little battle, Molly Weasley comes out and proves herself the equal of any warrior on that battlefield.- J. K. Rowling (x)Molly was a warrior before she was a mother. Male soldiers become fathers all the time, I really don’t see how this is a problem.I haven’t read the book in ages, but wasn’t it demonstrated fairly often that Molly was a powerful witch? Did this person miss that because of the fact she used her powers in a domestic fashion?“Did this person miss that because of the fact she used her powers in a domestic fashion?“In a word: yes.Did you think she also had to put up with Fred and George‘s shit? -- source link
