Charlie kom inte för att hämta Norbert

I sitt svarbrev till Ron säger Charlie att Norbert kommer att hämtas av några "vänner" som kommer att besöka honom:

I'd be glad to take the Norwegian Ridgeback, but it won't be easy getting him here. I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming to visit me next week.

Och när bytet faktiskt äger rum, är bara Charlies vänner närvarande:

Chuckling about Malfoy, they waited, Norbert thrashing about in his crate. About ten minutes later, four broomsticks came swooping down out of the darkness.

Charlie's friends were a cheery lot.

Så nej, Harry och Charlie hade aldrig träffats personligen.

Charlie tog inte draken, hans vänner gjorde.

Harry hade bara skickat ett brev till Charlie i Rumänien.

Från det brev som Ron skickade till Charlie:

I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming to visit me next week. ... They can meet you there and take him away while it’s still dark.

Och en faktisk scen:

Charlie’s friends were a cheery lot.

Medan de andra svaren är korrekta att Harry aldrig hade träffat Charlie Weasley tidigare, finns det fortfarande ett argument att ett kontinuitetsfel finns.

Texten läser:

Harry looked around and saw that Ron and George were sitting at the scrubbed wooden table with two red-haired people Harry had never seen before, though he knew immediately who they must be: Bill and Charlie, the two eldest Weasley brothers.

Medan han aldrig hade träffat någon av dem tidigare hade han sett dem på bilden från Daily Prophet från Weasleys resa till Egypten i Harry Potter och Fångaren av Azkaban em>.

Harry scanned the moving photograph, and a grin spread across his face as he saw all nine of the Weasleys waving furiously at him, standing in front of a large pyramid. Plump little Mrs. Weasley; tall, balding Mr. Weasley; six sons; and one daughter, all (though the black-and-white picture didn’t show it) with flaming-red hair.
