I WAS SO RIGHT ABOUT THE WEASLEY BOYS!

*does the dance of the smug*

Charlie two years older than Percy, Bill two years older than Charlie.

I *knew* they weren't *that* much older. *g*

Um... couldn't he be two and a half years older, or something? My sister's only a year and a half older than me, and she's two school years above...

Still doesn't really work, though, cause Charlie's got have been out of school for at least one full year before PS. Fred: "we haven't won the Quidditch Cup since Charlie left." (PS 114) That implies that not only has Charlie left school, he didn't just leave the June before; Gryffindor has to have lost the QC at least once since Charlie's been gone.

I suppose if you finagled it just-exactly-right, it might be 2 years and something like 11 months difference, but that seems overly complicated to me when you could just say "yeah, Charlie is 3/4 years older than Percy."

*shrugs* I dunno. JKR admitted she's not a math whiz before answering the question (I feel her pain) and she said in an earlier question that she didn't have her notebooks or anything in front of her.
