- 200 Wardens * "only about 1 in 5 have combat magic affinity to begin with".
- 1 Council-class wizard in Chicago (around 1 in 3,000,000 mortals) = 2300 Council-class wizards worldwide.

as to the number of wardens, they lost around 3/4 durring the war,

Also there are atleast 2 council class wizards in chicago, Harry, and his apprentance Molly, not counting all the council class wizards that harry smoked in chicago through out the years, (victor sells, and the shadow man for instance) plus there is the possibility of the children of members of the ordo that may have the talent to become wizards, and just havn't manifested it yet. most of the ordo kids we saw were VERY young when we saw them.

Also what if Harry is wrong when he sais that most wizarding ability is inherated Maternally, we have no Idea who his grand mother is, could be she wasn't a wizard or a middleing practioner at all but just a mere mortal. before he could find out from his grandfather, he kind of got SHOT IN THE CHEST. and if this is the case, maybe baby maggie will become a council class wizard.

also with the athama knnn, I doubt that she gave the athama back to Lea, because it was causing lea to have too much power. I am not sure I am rembering this correctally, I dont want to look it up, but I want to say that Lea as powerful as she was already, when she got the athama, she increased in power to almost that of Mab herself, and somewhere it sais that Lea is second in power only to Mab. which to me means that she is even more powerful then the winter lady, however I am inclined to believe that the mothers are even MORE powerful then the queens, but they are bound in some way to not use it as they can

As I said Sheck, I Guess that because of how we say things is different it could also be because of my confusion

Shorter than that. Their kid is already born by the end of the story; remember how they took "Desi" with them down the aisle?

Tavi to Ehren" What's happened to us ehren Last year we were marching with leagions and saving the relm, Now we are planning roads and implimenting policies" to me this means that it has been almost a year, or else he would have said something liek 6 months ago, or 3 months ago, not LAST YEAR
