Charlie não veio pegar Norbert

Em sua carta de resposta a Ron, Charlie diz que Norbert será escolhido por alguns "amigos" que estão vindo visitá-lo:

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.

E quando a troca realmente ocorre, apenas os amigos de Charlie estão presentes:

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.

Então não, Harry e Charlie nunca se conheceram pessoalmente.

Charlie não levou o dragão, seus amigos fizeram.

Harry só enviou uma carta para Charlie na Romênia.

Da carta que Ron enviou para 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.

E uma cena real:

Charlie’s friends were a cheery lot.

Enquanto as outras respostas estão corretas de que Harry nunca conheceu Charlie Weasley antes, ainda há um argumento de que existe um erro de continuidade.

O texto diz:

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.

Embora ele nunca tivesse encontrado nenhum deles antes, ele os tinha visto na foto do Profeta Diário da viagem dos Weasley ao Egito em Harry Potter e o Prisioneiro de Azkaban .

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.
