why did molly weasley have kids named bill, charlie, percy, fred, george and ronald and then call her last one ginevra
They’re all derivatives of the Knights of the round table. Ginevra comes from Guinevere.
Their dad is Arthur too so
*bangs head against tabletop for not ever realizing this*
Reasons why I should not be an English Major, here they all are.
THINGS I DIDNT REALIZE UNTIL NOW. I AM A BAD FAN.
Mind blown.
You don’t suppose Molly is short for Morrigan, do you?
This is such a lovely idea but I don’t think it’s true at all to be honest. I can’t find Arthurian characters remotely similar to anyone beyond Percy and Ginny. The closest for even William is ‘Ulfius’. It’s actually kind of amazing how UNLIKE any of the Arthurian knights/characters are like William/Bill, Frederick/Fred, George or Ronald - there isn’t even a Roland which for some reason I had thought there was. They’re closer to all being named for English kings than Arthurian knights (but still no Ron).
