Jen:
Talking about repercussions from OOTP, this one is minor but a loose 
end I'd like to see tied up: The last scene at the train station when 
all the Weasleys are present including Fred and George. And Mrs. 
Weasley is acting the same as always, not at all like her 
two "trouble" children quit school and started a joke shop. 

Sure, sure, I know the WW hangs in the balance at the moment, but 
still...this is *important*. Harry worried all through OOTP about the 
Weasley's finding out about the joke shop and his financial backing 
and ...nothing.

Were we denied the scene when Molly and Arthur find out F/G left 
school and started a joke shop? It seems so, since F/G are obviously 
*not* getting off the Hogwarts Express. I want to at least hear the 
story at some point.  How Molly blew her top, but then finally 
realized and accepted that F/G are meant to own a joke shop and 
that's a perfectly OK profession and yada, yada...or whatever took 
place.

Any other repercussions that need a little explanation in Book 6?
