The Weasley Clock

grandfather clock was merely a decorative shell to hold the clockwork
mechanism. Mrs. Weasley simple remover the mechanism from the shell,
and carried it around. I still get the sense that the mechanism she is
carrying is relatively bulky.

Carol:

Except that the clock in HBP is described as hanging on the wall
before she took it down. Grandfather clocks are much too large and
heavy to hang on the wall (much less carry around in a basket). Look
at the size of the pendulums, for one thing.

Carol, wondering why we can't just admit that JKR is human and subject
to error like the rest of us
