The entire section in GoF when the Weasleys take Harry to the World
Cup game from the time they "arrive" in the fireplace to leaving the
Dursleys.

I agree with your mom.  I was quite surprised at that part because it
really shows George and Fred in a most unfavourable light and makes
Dudley a sympathetic character.  It really jarred on me and
contributes to the feeling I have that GoF would have benefited from
one more rigorous edit by JKR.
