I remember my brother at that age. He inhaled food; he could drink a gallon
of milk a day and spent his own earned money on plenty of sodas and junk
food. He wasn't particularly active and didn't participate in sports. And he
as thin as a reed. Of course, this was in the "olden" days, before video
games.

I think it's pretty normal for many kids to be able to eat as they please,
and not have to start worrying about their weight until they are 30 or so.

But clambering around the castle and Hogwarts grounds does sound like a lot
of exercise to me. All those steps?  Climbing through the hole into their
rooms?

Suzanne, who wishes she had a metabolism like Ron's :-)
