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. This trend ended with the grandchildren of Arthur and Molly, who include more girls than boys. įor several generations, only boys were born into the family, until the birth of Ginevra Molly Weasley. 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. The Weasleys tended to have large numbers of children an unusual trait for wizarding families, according to Draco Malfoy. Despite being "one of the biggest blood traitor" families, they seemed rather proud of it. 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. 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. We're the biggest blood traitor family there is." - The family's status amongst Voldemort's supporters

It was always a matter of time, Dad's been saying so for months. " The Death Eaters know Ron's with you now, they're bound to target the family - don't apologise. Harry would eventually marry into the family when he married Ginevra Weasley. The Burrow became Harry's home away from home and Arthur and Molly served as de facto godparents in Sirius Black's absence. When Harry Potter befriended Arthur and Molly Weasley's youngest son, Ronald Weasley, the Weasleys became a second family to Harry. Their protests earned these families the opprobrium of advocates of the pure-blood doctrine, and the epithet ' blood traitor'. However, they deplored their inclusion in the list, because they said they had ancestral ties to many interesting Muggles.


They were included in the Sacred Twenty-Eight list, published in the Pure-Blood Directory by the 1930s. 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 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. Weasley was the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family in Great Britain. " 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
