Clock in the wall at the Burrow - characters that women are crazy about

Hello again...

I haven't been at this list for a long time, so i don't
know if this has been discussed before. However, i noticed
something that i found interesting.

The first time Harry goes to the Burrow, in the CoS, he
goes in the kitchen and looks at everything around him,
discovering for the first time how a wizard house is. He
notices the clock in the wall, that "had only one hand and
no numbers at all. Written around the edge were things like
'time to make tea','time to feed the chickens' and 'you're
late'."

In GoF, in chapter 10, when Harry is at the Burrow again
after the World Cup, it says: "Mrs. Weasley glanced at the
grandfather clock in the corner. Harry liked this clock..
It was completely useless if you wanted to know the time,
but otherwise very informative.It had  nine golden hands,
and each of them was engraved with one of the Weasley
family's names.There were no numerals around the face, but
descriptions of where each family member might be. 'Home',
'School' and 'Work' were there, but there was also
'lost','hospital','prison' and, in the position where
number 12 would be in a normal clock, 'mortal peril'."

Are these two the same clock? or are they different ones?
Any comments on this?

Now, on a different topic, but since you request to include
different things in one longer message...

When Harry goes back to the Burrow in GoF, he finds two new
members of the Weasley family: Charlie and Bill. Since
Charlie was already gone when Harry first goes to howgarts,
he must be at least seven years older than Ron. And Bill
should at least be one year older than Charlie, perhaps
two. That means at when they first appear, Charlie must be
around 21, and Bill 22 or 23, at least (since we don't know
how long before they had left Hogwarts). I would even  bet
that they are at least one year older (Charlie being about
8 years older than Ron, if not more), because it kind of
surprises me that right after graduating he went to work
with dragons... i would at least expect him to do some
training before that, so perhaps we should allow one year
after Hogwarts before going ot Romania...
So, there are two young men, described as muscular and
good-natured in the case of charlie, cool, tall, modern...
i think i read between the lines also handsome, in the case
of Bill. I found them very very interesting. Young,
handsome and attractive. However, they don't seem to have a
big following. i know they don't appear as often as Lupin
or Sirius (which i also find very attractive), but still,
they are very interesting characters, and i'm sure they
will play a much more important role in future books. Any
comments on this too?

OK, that was my first big contribution to the discussion.
Hope you like it!!
