Default Re: The Weasley Family Group Discussion...

McD- I think that the wording of the question is perhaps somewhat questionable, but that the point itself is valid.
As I said in my response, I think all the Weasley children were ambitious in a way that Mr. Weasley was not- they were all motivated, yes, and Mr. Weasley did succeed on certain levels but there was a distinct streak of ambitious drive in the Weasley children to be leaders, to be successful (and not merely in personal goals), to be recognized, and to be respected. Head Boy, Quidditch Captain, Ministry power-hungry, wildly successful- financially as well- buisness owners, right hand man-war hero, fiercely independent young resistance leader.
I don't know about you, but I have an issue imagining Mr. Weasley Bat-Bogey Hexing someone when they were being annoying.
