Now, if the trip was that expensive that they could only do it 
because of the money they won, how did they manage to visit him over 
Christmas and originally plan to bring the twins as well?

Me, Maria:

this is what i think about the trips to Egypt. If you can use the
floo network or a portkey or your broomstick to travel, half the cost
goes down (no expensive plane ticket). If you stay at a relative's
house, like they would at Bill's (assuming he has an apartment and a
sofa or two in which guests can sleep), the trip remains affordable,
either for two or for seven people. BUT! If you start doing touristy
things, i guess then it's when the cost starts going up: museum
tickets, guides, souvenirs, etc.

On a completely different topic, Kristel insisted:



danielle:
  Correction, the line is :You'll forgive me,
  Dumbledore, but I've never heard of a curse scar
  acting as an alrm bell before....."
  you've forgot one word, there are more than one curse
  scars I'm sure, but in this reference Fudge is
  referring to in general.


  me :

  No, sorry, my copy hasn't got "never" in it. It really says :
"You'll forgive
  me, Dumbledore, but I've heard of a curse scar
  acting as an alarm bell before..."

Now Me, Maria:

I think it is correct without the "never". I understand it as a
sarcasm on Fudge's side. He is exagerating the affirmation comparing
it with an alarm, something ridiculous that reinforces the sarcasm
tone that i always read in that sentence.
