Just finished re-reading GoF, and the thought struck me: could F &
G's new joke shop at Diagon Alley be a kind of headquarters for
devising weapons to fight DE's & LV? Imagine the possibilities:
Mssrs. Crabbe & Goyle reaching for their wands and pulling out
haddocks and parrots...DD turning into a canary at the last
moment...DE's sinking into a portable swamp...fancy fireworks as a
diversionary tactic?

I agree. I don't think that Fred's and George's considerable
talents are there just for the purpose of comic relief. Even
Hermione thought their "headless hats" were a good bit of magic. I
suspect that some of their merchandise will play a significant part
in the next two books.

What if Honeydukes moves to a larger location and Fred & George end 
up setting up their business at the old site?  They would then have 
direct access to the school. 


Lee:

I totally agree with that because they really want to join the OoP to fight. We know they are really talented and many have remarked on that they're just a bit naughty. And we know that DD has a soft spot for mischievous people. Plus they are not afraid of anything, which will probably be an asset to large extent, until one of them gets hurt.
