Jaja:

That is a very convincing answer. I just wondered why JKR never used it before, why just now? I mean we could've seen the Weasleys doing it. I guess, they've never done it either because it they have, Ron could've mentioned it to Harry even in passing. He could've describe it.

I guess, I've just never seen it coming.

Jaja who still wonders about SAA and thinks it's still risky doing it
