      There was also one son that we didn't see- Charlie. I just 
thought that both boggart!Charlie and boggart!Ginny had appeared 
before Harry entered the room. After all, Harry went to the drawing 
room in the first place because he heard Molly sobbing. The boggart 
was obviously (IMO) out of the cabinet before Harry got to the door.
