Hi everyone. I have been reading some of the posts and there is a 
reference to a missing Weasley child. I tried to go back in the 
archives to see if there were other posts on this but I was out of 
luck. I am wondering why someone would think there is a missing 
Weasley. I would be interested to hear this theory. If anyone has any 
info on this or knows where it was talked about before,would they 
please let me know. 
 
 

Me -

It's because of the ages of the weasley kids. 
Bill's age is uncertain but he can't have graduated from Hogwarts any
earlier than 1981 (see the lexicon for why) making him no more than 4 years
older than Charlie at the most, then Percy is 9 years younger, the Twins are
2 years younger than him,. Ron 2 years younger still and Ginny a year
younger. This means that there is an unusually and surprisingly large gap
between Bill and Charlie. People speculate that there is a
dead/evil/otherwise missing child.
