Anne Squires:

I think one of the important things about the Quidditch World
Cup is the twins' bet. I have seen it argued that the twins used a
time-turner to predict the outcome so accurately. Sorry, I don't
remember exactly where I read that, but, I believe it's more than
possible.

Lynda:

I'm certain that the twins bet at the Quidditch World Cup is extremely
important. I don't think that they used a time-turner, however. I think the
clue in that scene is simply to establish that the Weasleys are a family of
very powerfully magical witches and wizards. Bill as head boy, Charlie as
quidditch captain, Percy as head boy, the twins striking out on their own in
business with less than remarkable test results from their OWLS, Ron as
prefect and possibly head boy in the next book (unless that one goes to
Harry--yes I do expect the trio back at Hogwarts) and Ginny as at the least
a very talented witch (it seems the prefect positions are all accounted for
presently.  Maybe she will be quidditch captain. There's a lot of talent in
that family.
