PS/SS "third weasley brother" going through 9 3/4?

No: HPFGUIDX 79283

My 9 yo son wondered if this was a Flint.  
When Harry watches the Weasleys going through the wall to Platform 9 
3/4, Percy goes first ("the oldest boy"), then Fred and "his twin" 
goes after him, THEN "the third brother".  Who might that be? Ron is 
still on the platform!

We've typed it in below:

"You're not old enough, Ginny, now be quiet. All right, Percy, you go 
first."

What looked like the oldest boy marched toward platforms nine and 
ten. Harry watched, careful not to blink in case he missed it -- but 
just as the boy reached the dividing barrier between the two 
platforms, a large crowd of tourists came swarming in front of him 
and by the time the last backpack had cleared away, the boy had 
vanished. 

******note: percy is now gone******

"Fred, you next," the plump woman said.

"I'm not Fred, I'm George," said the boy. "Honestly, woman, you call 
yourself our mother? Can't you tell I'm George?"

"Sorry, George, dear."

"Only joking, I am Fred," said the boy, and off he went. 

******Fred is gone*******

His twin called after him to hurry up, and he must have done so, 
because a second later, he had gone 

****george now gone*******

-- but how had he done it?

Now the third brother was walking briskly toward the barrier he was 
almost there -- and then, quite suddenly, he wasn't anywhere.  

***** who is this? keep reading, Ron's still on the platform*******

There was nothing else for it.

"Excuse me," Harry said to the plump woman.

"Hello, dear," she said. "First time at Hogwarts? Ron's new, too."

She pointed at the last and youngest of her sons. He was tall, thin, 
and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose.

"Yes," said Harry. "The thing is -- the thing is, I don't know how 
to --"

"How to get onto the platform?" she said kindly, and Harry nodded.

"Not to worry," she said. "All you have to do is walk straight at the 
barrier between platforms nine and ten. Don't stop and don't be 
scared you'll crash into it, that's very important. Best do it at a 
bit of a run if you're nervous. Go on, go now before Ron."
