Auntydle asks:
 
I know it's very late in the game to bring this up, but I only just 
discovered this website.  Why did Mrs. Weasley have to ask Ginny the 
number of the platfor in TSS?  This was how Harry knew he had to 
follow them to find the platform, but, with Ron being the fourth of 
her children to attend Hogwarts, why didn't she already know the 
number of the platform?  ...just wondering.


Donna Replies:

Probably confusion and frustration trying to get 3 very active boys and
Percy packed, organized, fed, dressed, herded into one spot, 
plus worry about finances and being pressed for time.  BTW, Ron 
makes number 6 son to attend Hogwarts - Charlie, Bill, Percy, Fred, George, and Ron.  I'm surprised the woman is sane at this time of year.  Seems to me Percy is the only one that isn't "adventuresome".
