He received it sometime after early June, possibly sometime in late June, early July.[1] It is unknown when Fred and George bought their copy possibly sometime in 1996 or early 1997.
Contents[]
Harry Potter speculated that there might be an entire chapter devoted to compliments after overhearing Ron praiseHermione Granger's skill at decorating the Burrow for Harry'sseventeenth birthday party. Ron noted that had he had it during his relationship withLavender Brown, he would have known exactly how to get rid of her and how to get things going with Hermione, though he did not mention her directly by name. Ron's comment about how it was not all "about wandwork" inferred some content in relation to sexual seduction.[1]
