"My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford."
— Draco Malfoy's negative view of the Weasley family
Weasley was the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family in Great Britain. They were considered one of the prominent wizarding families, although their lack of money and their sympathy for Muggle-born wizards and even Muggles made other wizards and witches view them scornfully. They lived in The Burrow, a ramshackle house of four or five stories "a little way outside" the village of Ottery St Catchpole.
They were included in the Sacred Twenty-Eight list, published in the Pure-Blood Directory by the 1930s. However, they deplored their inclusion in the list, because they said they had ancestral ties to many interesting Muggles. Their protests earned these families the opprobrium of advocates of the pure-blood doctrine, and the epithet 'blood traitor'.
Early history
"The Death Eaters know Ron's with you now, they're bound to target the family — don't apologise. It was always a matter of time, Dad's been saying so for months. We're the biggest blood traitor family there is." — The family's status amongst Voldemort's supporters The Weasleys (unlike many other pure-blood families) willingly associated with Muggles, Muggle-borns, and half-bloods and do not consider themselves superior to others because of their blood status. Thus, elitist pure-blood families such as the Malfoys and the Blacks consider them "blood traitors" and treat them with disdain; Cedrella Black was even disowned by her family for marrying Septimus Weasley. Despite being "one of the biggest blood traitor" families, they seemed rather proud of it. The Weasleys tended to have large numbers of children; an unusual trait for wizarding families, according to Draco Malfoy. Ron's generation of Weasleys were considered poor by wizarding standards; their vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank only contained a small pile of Sickles and a single Galleon as of 1992. For several generations, only boys were born into the family, until the birth of Ginevra Molly Weasley. This trend ended with the grandchildren of Arthur and Molly, who include more girls than boys.
Recent history
"There was a very small pile of silver Sickles inside, and just one gold Galleon. Mrs Weasley felt right into the corners before sweeping the whole lot into her bag." — The Weasley family's lack of wealth Arthur Weasley was born on 6 February 1950 to Septimus and Cedrella Weasley (née Black). Arthur had at least two brothers. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1961 to 1968 and was sorted into Gryffindor House. While at school, he met and began dating fellow Gryffindor Molly Prewett.
First Wizarding War
Molly Weasley: "It's all this uncertainty with You-Know-Who coming back, people think they might be dead tomorrow, so they're rushing all sorts of decisions they'd normally take time over. It was the same last time he was powerful, people eloping left, right, and centre —" Ginny Weasley: "Including you and Dad." Molly Weasley: "Yes, well, your father and I were made for each other, what was the point in waiting?" — Molly's and Arthur's rushed marriage Shortly after graduating from Hogwarts, Arthur and Molly married. Their marriage was rather rushed, as Lord Voldemort was gaining power during that time and the First Wizarding War began. They presumably took up residence at the Burrow, since at least 1970. The Burrow quickly became home to the Weasleys. Despite being poor, none of the family seemed ashamed of their home and it had a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. It was a welcoming place, and friends of the family were regular visitors. Arthur and Molly were not members of the first Order of the Phoenix; it is unknown if he was otherwise involved in the war. However, Molly's brothers, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, joined the Order, and were eventually killed by five Death Eaters, one of whom was Antonin Dolohov. During the course of the war, Arthur and Molly had seven children: Bill in late 1970, Charlie in 1972, Percy in 1976, twins Fred and George in 1978, Ron in 1980, and Ginny in 1981. Molly had longed to have a daughter after having her first five sons, but had another son before finally having a daughter. The war ended soon after Ginny's birth, but not before Molly's brothers Fabian and Gideon Prewett, both Order members, were murdered by Death Eaters. The Prewett brothers were ambushed by five Death Eaters and fought like "heroes". The family was upset when some Death Eaters, such as Lucius Malfoy, were able to get off scot-free by claiming that they had been under the Imperius Curse. Arthur believed they were lying, and he and Lucius were hostile towards one another whenever they crossed paths.
Main family
Arthur Weasley, one of three sons of Septimus and Cedrella Weasley,, met Molly Prewett while they attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1960s. They married soon after finishing school and went on to have seven children, whom they loved but did not spoil. All of those who were of age, except Percy, eventually became members of the reinstated Order of the Phoenix.
•There appears to be a pattern in the Weasley family of members having names that may possibly allude to figures in medieval history and Arthurian legend:
•Arthur Weasley, shares a given name with King Arthur, the central character of Arthurian legends.
•The eldest son, Bill, has the same given name as William Marshal. Between the mid 12th and early 13th centuries, this knight rose from obscurity by serving four Plantagenet kings of England (Henry II, Richard I, John and Henry III), and eventually became Regent of England. At times, he is referred to as "the Flower of Chivalry." In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Bill marries Fleur Delacour, whose name translates as "flower of the court".
•Charles Weasley's name may be a reference to Charlemagne.
•Fred Weasley's name is a diminutive of the name Frederick, which may be an allusion to Frederick Barbarossa. Frederick was an Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, served in both the Second and Third Crusades. His nickname, Barbarossa, means "red beard."
•George Weasley's name may be a reference to St George.
•J. K. Rowling has said that unlike with many other characters, Ron Weasley's name always remained the same in various drafts of the series. She has remarked that the surname Weasley is derived from the weasel, which is also Arthur Weasley's Patronus. About the family's name and characteristic red hair, she commented:
mustelidae; not so much malignant as maligned, in my opinion. There are also many superstitions associated with redheaded people and most state that they are in some way unlucky (Judas Escariot was supposedly red-haired), but this is nonsense; I happen to like red hair as well as weasels."
•In the Harry Potter film adaptations, the Weasleys are portrayed by:
•Mark Williams, who portrays Arthur Weasley in all film adaptations except Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, in which Arthur does not appear.
•Julie Walters, who portrays Molly Weasley in all film adaptations except Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which Molly does not appear.
•Richard Fish and Domhnall Gleeson, who both portray Bill Weasley. Fish portrayed him in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in the family photo of their trip to Egypt. Gleeson portrays Bill in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
•Alex Crockford, who portrayed Charles Weasley in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in the Weasley family photo on holiday in Egypt. A young man who appears to be Charlie is seen beside Nymphadora Tonks in the wedding scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
•Chris Rankin who portrays Percy Weasley, did not appear in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire or Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Mar 15, 2024 · Beyond taking in young Harry, the Weasleys are some of his closest allies in the fight against Voldemort, helping to protect him from the Dark Lord's forces and participating in many key battles during the Second Wizarding War. Here's everything we know about the Weasley family throughout the Harry Potter franchise.
- Ron Weasley. The most prominent, and probably the most important Weasley in the series, was their youngest son, Ron (Rupert Grint). The youngest Weasley boy became Harry Potter’s (Daniel Radcliffe) first and best friend through a simple gesture of kindness, as the bespectacled boy was thrust into the world of magic with little warning.
- Arthur and Molly Weasley. The parents of the Weasley household are Arthur (Mark Williams) and Molly (Julie Walters) Weasley, who set an excellent precedent as role models for their children.
- Bill Weasley. The eldest child of the Weasley clan was Bill Weasley (Domhnall Gleeson), who set a remarkably high standard for all his younger siblings.
- Charlie Weasley. Charlie (Alex Crockford) was the next brother in line, though essentially only made a cameo in the films. The only on-screen appearance of Charlie was in the picture of the Weasley family on their trip to Egypt in The Prisoner of Azkaban.
