It doesn't make me feel old - at least not yet - but it does make me feel that life is moving way too fast... and I seem to be stuck where I've started all those years ago... writing-wise, I mean.

Ah! An excellent post. As always! You are so right. I love the way you can weave words into sentences)) Has it really been eight years since the release of DH? Wow...

Very interesting the way you look at these things and find parallels in mythology. I'd never know that there existed any otherwise. Well, it's possible that both Ginny and Luna's needlework remained behind the pages of the books - I wouldn't be surprised! After all, Luna loved making things with her own hands (butterbear-cork necklace, the hat, radishes earrings, etc.) and I'm sure that Ginny, being Mrs. Weasley's daughter, could do something similar too. Or would do as an adult for her kids. Who knows?
