Argh. No I'm disappointed in my self, because I did not remember this 
journey to Egypt.. In PoA Ron send a newpaper about this journey and 
there is said that Weasley's oldest son works in Egypt.. How on earth 
I missed that..?

OK, new one. I once thought that Charlie and Bill could be twins as 
well as Fred and George.. But hey, why Bill was in Hogwarts 5 years 
ago?
