<<So where are all the Weasley kids' first cousins? And second
cousins? Why aren't they at Hogwart's? Especially as there is reason to
believe that Hogwart's is the only wizarding school for all of Britain
and Ireland. >>

I have come to the conclusion, based on my husband's family, that all Mr
Weasley's siblings had children much older or much younger than he did -
my husband is 34 - his uncles all waited until they were in their 40's
to have babies, so his 1st cousins range in age from 2 and a half to 7
- an age gap of about 28 years - maybe Mr Weasley's siblings were off
chasing dragons or playing quidditch & didn't start families until they
were older - which would give us a Weasley Cousin entering hogwarts about
now - also, maybe they moved to the US, Canada, New Zealand or Australia &
go to Wizarding Schools there.
