Weasleys Ages- NOT The last and final post you will ever need

In response to the two people who commented on my post, I have this to
say;
bboy, I totaly agree.  Hitomi, please re-read my post 92160.

 I know she was in a calm enviroment during her interview in which she
stated that Bill was in his late twenties in GoF. That fact is law to
me. ( as the law that states that late twenties means 27 and up) The
next iron clad law is that Charlie is two years younger than Bill,
and, (according to the 7 year quidditch drought) that he is,
currently, at the very least, 27, if he left after after his O.W.L.'s
and 29 if he left after his N.E.W.T.'s. yes, this takes into account
any day of the year his birthday is on.
Get a piece of paper out. If you put in enough time, I know it is a
pain in the butt, but the math works out this way.

I appreciate the thoughtful response you both put forth. 

My personal need for Bill and Charlie to be 29 and 31ish is to
satisfiy my fanfic addiction in which both boys are these ages. 
Totaly unimportant in reality I know, but I thought I would explain
why I am so adament about it!

Cheers! Twiggymolly
