:
: I do not question Arthur's competence, either mental or magical, he's
: always been one of my favorite adult characters. But I think his
: fascination for how muggles manage without magic is an endearing
: quality. Kind of like his version of a huge train set. It's clear
: that he can be very serious when he needs to be.
I see Arthur's laughable ignorance as an example of Rowling
going for cheap laughs.
: I have a feeling that under Shacklebolt's administration, Arthur
: Weasley is going to be a lot more prominent, and better compensated
: for his skills, and the Weasley family is coming into a new
: prominence, and not only through their connection to Harry.
I wonder how much longer Arthur would keep working;
Rowling has said Percy became a high-ranking official
but said nothing so far on Arthur's later career.
Still,I think of Arthur maybe taking over Umbridge's
old office...
