Do our feelings on it change now that we're adults?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nWas it responsible to allow students who were 'of age' to fight? What role would we have taken in defending the school? What GOOD came out of the battle (besides Voldemort's downfall)?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nEric quizzes us on the Battle of Hogwarts. And of course, Quizzitch wraps up the show."
