As a teacher, she did not let students use magic in her class (because she thought that they would raid against the ministry). She also gave out rather cruel detentions, making students write on paper with their own blood, which she bewitched the pen to cut the students hand open and the blood came from that. She forced Harry to take him to the weapon that she thought Dumbledore was trying to use against the ministry.

Weasley, Bill- The oldest son of Molly and Arthur Weasley (and the oldest Weasley child). He used to work in Egypt as a curse breaker for Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Once Voldemort came back, he left Egypt and came to work at the Gringotts in London. He then lived with his parents and was a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He is engaged to Fleur Delacour, and was bitten by a werewolf in Book 6. He may not become a full werewolf, seeing that the werewolf who bit him was in his wizard state at the time. According to Lupin, he may have some wolfish qualities. His face was also severely scarred by the werewolf. He is 9 years older than Ron. He has red hair with a ponytail. While at Hogwarts, he was a prefect and became head boy. He was born on November 29, 1970.

They started selling things at Hogwarts; such as ways to get out of class and other practical jokes. They were also the beaters on the Gryffindor quidditch team from Books 1 through 5 (they were thrown off in Book 5 by Umbridge). After they leave Hogwarts (literally leave- jumped on their broomsticks and flew away because they hated Umbridge) they started their joke shop with the money that Harry Potter gave them (1,000 galleons- his winnings from the Triwizard Tournament). They called their joke shop Weasley Wizard Wheezes. Their joke shop seems to be doing really well in Book 6, although all the things from their shop are banned at Hogwarts. It is unknown if they joined the Order of the Phoenix after they left Hogwarts. Their birthday is April 1st, April fools day. They used to live at the Burrow, but now live in a flat above their joke shop. George lost an ear in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Fred was killed in the final battle.

She was born on August 11, 1981 and lives at the burrow, along with the rest of her family (excluding her 2 brothers Percy and Charlie, and sometimes her brothers Fred and George live in a flat above their joke shop). She is said to be very pretty, and is said to look the most like her brothers Fred and George. She has had many boyfriends in her school career, including Michael Corner, Dean Thomas, and Harry Potter. She had always had a crush on Harry since Book 2, but become a lot less shy towards him in Book 4. She played seeker on the Gryffindor quidditch team after Harry was kicked off in Book 5. She then tried out for chaser and made it in Book 6 (after Harry was allowed to play again). Harry was then given detention in book 6, so he could not play seeker for the final matches. Ginny then took over for seeker again, and Dean Thomas played chaser for her. She was also taken over by Tom Riddle’s diary and forced to open the chamber of secrets. She was saved by Harry before Voldemort took full control of her, so that she would die and he wouldn’t.
Weasley, Molly– She is the mother of all the Weasley children and the wife of Arthur Weasley. She also thinks of Harry as a son to her. Her maiden name was Prewett, and her two brothers Gideon and Fabian Prewett were killed by death eaters. This is probably why she is so shaken up about half her family being in the Order of the Phoenix (along with herself). She is very loving and always knits sweaters for her children, and sends them cakes and fun treats on holidays. She has read hair just like her children and her husband, and is short, plump, and very kind. Her greatest fear (her boggart) is to see her whole family dead. She is Sirius Black’s cousin by marriage (to Arthur Weasley).
Weasley, Percy- The 3rd oldest Weasley child who is very focused on his career. Even at Hogwarts, he was a prefect and head boy, taking his duties very seriously. He is tall with red hair. He has a major fight with his father in Book 5 about the return of Voldemort (Percy thought his father was lying). He left the house, and did not talk to his family all that year. He returned in Book 6 to his family after seeing that Harry was not lying about Voldemort being back. He used to work for Barty Crouch Sr. (who knew Percy as Whetherby). He was questioned about the where-abouts of Crouch after he disappeared. In Book 5 he was promoted to the secretary of Cornelius Fudge (because Fudge knew the Weasleys were close to Dumbledore- except for Percy).
Weasley, Ronald (Ron)- The second youngest child in the Weasley family and the youngest boy. He is the best friend of Harry Potter, and goes with him on almost all of his adventures. He lives at the Burrow and often has Harry over to stay. He, like Harry, greatly dislikes Draco Malfoy. He has red hair like the rest of his family and is terrified by Spiders. He was one of the first people to join the D.A. and fought in the department of mysteries in Book 5. He is keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in Book 5. He is tall, thin, and has freckles. It has always been a bit obvious that he likes Hermione Granger, but he dated Lavender Brown in Book 6. They broke up near the end of the book, and he and Hermione seemed to get along better than ever.
