Some thoughts about Chapter 5 (one of my favorites!).

I always enjoy reading about Harry's experiences with the Weasleys --
these are some of my favorite scenes in all 4 books. It was wonderful
to meet Bill and Charlie -- I have the feeling that Bill, at least,
may play a significant part in the upcoming battles against Voldemort.

I think this is also the first time that Hermione has stayed with the
Weasleys? I would really like to see more of Hermione's parents --
however do they cope with having a witch daughter in their Muggle world?

Someone asked in a previous message if we thought Fred & George would be
successful outside of Hogwarts. I'm thinking that they'll end up Wizard
Millionaires (like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates -- inventing things in their
garage that turn into major business empires). It would be a nice touch
to see the "jokers" who "didn't get as many O.W.L.S" as they should have,
turn out to be the most financially successful in the family. They've
got a wealthy private investor (Harry) to bankroll their startup, and
I'm hoping they are a roaring success. They may also find a use for their
inventing talents in the upcoming fights against Voldemort -- but maybe
I'm thinking a little too much of James Bond and his gadgets? It would
be a cool twist!

Well, I'll cut this off here. I'm sure I'll be blabbing some more about
this chapter in days to come...
