Description
It is apparent to me as well as to many other fans that J.K. Rowling has set up Ginny, Neville, and Luna as another trio. Canon supports this analysis. They were the only D.A. members to go with Harry, Ron & Hermione, a.k.a. the HRH trio, to the Ministry of Magic in Order of the Phoenix. Also they were the only D.A. members that fought beside Ron and Hermione in Half-Blood Prince. Lastly, in Deathly Hallows, the three of them lead the D.A. together thus cementing their status as the “new” or “other” trio. In my presentation, I will define Ginny, Neville, and Luna, a.k.a. GNL as a trio based on what we know of them both as a group and individually. I’ll also compare and contrast them to the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione with some defining of the HRH trio’s roles within their respective group.
