Biography

Arthur Weasley was born on 06/02/1950. The Weasleys belong to pureblood wizards. His representatives are related to such names as Black, Crouch and others.

Arthur got a job at the Ministry of Magic. His post was insignificant and consisted in tracing the illegal use of Muggle inventions.

During the First Magical War, he was not associated with the scoundrels, and joined the ranks of the informal forces did not, so as not to involve his family in trouble. During the second war, Weasley and his wife joined the Order of the Phoenix. In 1995, he was injured by Nagayna, but survived. In 1988, he was one of the defenders of Hogwarts.

By nature, Weasley is not ambitious. He does not seek career growth. It is important for him to conscientiously perform his work, which he loves. The wizard does not like conflicts, he is very reserved. He'd only been out of himself a few times: a quarrel with Percy's son, a fight with older Malfoy.

List of children:

• Billy;
• Charlie;
• Percy;
• Fred;
• George;
• Ron;
• Ginny.

Who is Arthur in the family? Molly Weasley has great authority in the family. Arthur does not resist pressure from her side. But on important issues, he is able to take an unshakable position. The wife and children respect the head of the family and listen to what he says. The only one who quarreled with his father once was Percy. But his older Weasley forgave after his son's return home.

From five children he had twelve grandchildren. One of the twins, Fred, was killed, and Charlie never married. Three of his grandsons were given to Arthur by Ginny's daughter and her husband Harry Potter.

Arthur Weasley in the life of a boy with a scar

A spokesman for the Weasley family found out with Harry thanks to his son Ron. The boys met in the train compartment and became friends from the first days at Hogwarts.

Between Arthur and Harry had a trusting relationship. A representative of the Ministry of Magic guessed about Potter's mission. Perhaps that's why he treated the boy not as a child, talking to him in an adult way.

Unlike his wife Molly, Arthur tried not to get involved in the affairs of the boy. At the same time, the representative of the Order of the Phoenix was always ready to help with helpful advice, and sometimes mildly chide. The young wizard respected Arthur, he listened to his opinion. Marrying Ginny, Potter became part of the Weasley family.

It is interesting that initially Rowling wanted to kill Arthur in the fifth part, when he was bitten by Nagaina. In the end, she changed her mind, because Ron would be like Harry, who survived the loss of his parents. The author decided not to deprive Potter of the shelter that he found in the Weasley family.
