> -- not at all because Ginny was clever enough to do that without being caught.
 
Ellyddan:
> I have to agree its not surprising to think of a Weasley being clever enough to do any of these things. We've certainly watched her older brothers display such talents. My only qualm is that the hints of her following in their footsteps before this book are few and far between. Its just too convenient for my taste.

Casil:
I think that JKR is finally writing her character as a normal teenage 
girl and forcing her brothers to look at her as more grown-up. In her 
first year of school, Mrs. Weasley was holding her hand in Diagon 
Alley. Ginny would have been almost 12 here. I have identical twin 
nieces who are almost 12, they would gladly die before allowing me to 
hold their hand in a public street. In GoF, Fred grabbed her hand 
before running into the woods, she would have been almost 14 at the 
time. When Mrs. Weasley is facing the boggart in OotP, she sees every 
one of her family members as dead, even Harry, except for Ginny. My 
opinion on this is that she doesn't see Ginny as anything more than a 
child and therefore doesn't think that she will have to worry about 
Ginny dieing in the war against Voldemort. I, for one, am glad to see 
Ginny growing up to be pure Weasley and very glad to see her being 
written at her real age level. Finally!
