Voice from L.O.O.N. pipes up:  Percy is also built like Ron.  "Charlie was 
built like the twins, shorter and stockier than Percy and Ron, who were both 
long and lanky" (GF 5; the next paragraph is the one that tells us that Bill 
is also tall).  Since Molly is short and pudgy and Arthur is tall, we've got 
them all sorted out except Ginny.  All we know about her is that she's 
"small" at age 10, which doesn't tell us much.  (My Quidditch 
anti-stereotyping is also pleased by a Seeker who's built like his Beater 
brothers.  Harry has the ideal Seeker build, I grant you, but you don't have 
to be small and skinny to be a great Seeker.)

BTW, at least two people have said that their choice of a Honeydukes treat 
would be a Fizzing Whizzbee.  I grow concerned.  Haven't you people read 
_Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, A History_?
