don't forget your name.  But we're not stupid--we know we're called
Gred and Forge." Who's sweater was he talking about not having a
letter?  I always thought it was Harry's that didn't have a letter,
but the context implies Ron doesn't have a letter.  Percy's does, so I
guess he meant Harry's?<<<

That's funny, because it never mentions Ron's having a letter at all.
But it really seems like George -was- talking to Ron.. because it
never indicated his attention had left Ron to go to Harry. But why
would Ron be the only one without a letter? Maybe Mrs. Weasley ran out
of time? Hehe

Just a little snippet from the post I'm referring to.)

.. And let's not forget Mad Eye Moody transfiguring Draco into a
ferret. Not important, but very amusing. ;)

the series?<<<

Perhaps JKR is waiting for something important to happen when the kids
get better at it? Only in the later years of school can they really do
major transfigurations.

Voldemort into a slug and step on him. :) <<<

LOL!
