Arthur Weasley

Lore & Background

Arthur Weasley's role in the series is primarily seen through his family connections and his involvement in the Order of the Phoenix. He is present at key moments such as the Quidditch World Cup in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which he attends with his daughter Ginny, his sons, Harry, and Hermione. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Arthur is attacked by Nagini, Voldemort's snake, while working late at the Ministry, an event that leaves him injured and hospitalized at St Mungo's. This attack underscores his bravery and willingness to face danger for the greater good. During the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Arthur participates in the fight against Voldemort's forces. His fascination with Muggles is not detailed in the source, but his daughter Ginny's eventual marriage to Harry Potter and his family's close ties to Harry highlight his role as a supportive father figure.

In Their Own Story

The Burrow was warm and cluttered, a home filled with the sounds of seven children and the smell of Molly's cooking. Arthur sat at the kitchen table, his eyes bright as he examined a Muggle artifact, though the source does not specify which one. He was a man who found joy in simple things, but his life was marked by danger. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Arthur was attacked by Nagini while on duty at the Ministry, an event that left him with severe injuries. He recovered at St Mungo's, and his survival was a relief to his family and the Order. Later, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Arthur fought alongside his wife Molly, who killed Bellatrix Lestrange after the witch nearly struck Ginny with a Killing Curse. Arthur's role in the battle is not detailed in the source, but his presence as a fighter for the light is clear. After the war, his daughter Ginny married Harry Potter, and Arthur became a grandfather to their three children: James, Albus, and Lily.
