History Characters / HarryPotterTheWeasleyFamily

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Especially in the first three books when he was still a Hogwarts student. At least when Harry interacted with him, he was actually quite nice, albeit arrogant, smug and a bit too formal, as long as people followed the rules, and he even tried helping Harry with understanding aspects of the wizarding world that Harry wasn't familiar with yet. But when around people who did ''not'' abide by the rules or did not take him as seriously as he wanted to be taken, his insufferable and unpleasant side would appear.

* FailedASpotCheck: For all of his love for Mr. Crouch and his {{Workaholic}} tendencies, Percy didn't question why his boss took ill and started sending letters with instructions. He ended up being correct that it was Barty's handwriting – Voldemort put Crouch Sr. under the Imperius Curse to make him write each one – but kept stubbornly saying nothing was wrong. It says something that ''Fudge'' became concerned about Crouch taking ill for a year especially when the man showed up at Hogwarts and vanished. Had Percy realized something was very wrong with Crouch's behaviour and informed a superior, and had the Ministry therefore been able to piece together what happened to Crouch, Percy could have been responsible for preventing Voldemort's return to power and overthrowing of the Ministry.

* ProfessionalButtkisser: He's constantly sucking up to Crouch in the fourth book. It gets to the point that Fred says [Percy and Crouch] will be announcing their engagement any day now. It's not just with Crouch either, as he does more or less the same thing with just about anyone in power in the Ministry. Later on when Crouch arrives at Hogwarts for the Triwizard champion selection, he offhandedly mentions that he thinks Percy is a little ''too'' enthusiastic about his job.

* TomboynessUpgrade: Ginny was a [[ShrinkingViolet shy little girl]] in Chamber of Secrets, especially around Harry. In later books, after getting over her shyness, she evolves into a tough FieryRedhead and accomplished Quidditch player. Harry at one point notes that Ginny growing up with six brothers probably "toughened her up a bit".

* FieryRedhead: You do ''not'' want to get on her bad side, as Fred, George, and to a lesser extent Ron know all too well. [[spoiler:And Sweet Jesus hear your prayers if you try to hurt Molly's family. Just ask Bellatrix Lestrange]].

* InSeriesNickname: When Fleur starts living at the tWeasley house during her engagement to Bill, Ginny takes a disliking to her because of her snobbishness and starts calling her "Phlegm" behind her back.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Percy's need to impress Fudge is so great that he outright casts his family aside for two books. He also casts out Harry.

* LetsGetDangerous: Despite his pompous attitude, he never hesitates to tackle dangerous situations. When the Death Eaters attack the muggles at the Quidditch World Cup, he rushes forward along with his father, Bill and Charlie. He also arrives to fight with his family in the Battle of Hogwarts, and goes after Augustus Rookwood, the Death Eater who is implied to have killed Fred, ''by himself''.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Quickly falls for the redhead Bill.

** As Harry realizes, Fred and George make sure that their pranks are harmless, for the most part, and are only nasty to someone who deserves it, like Dudley. It says something that the items that Fred and George realize are ''too'' harmful, like the punching telescope, they don't sell (which backfires when Hermione unknowingly gets hold of it in Book 7.)

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She can be cheerful, extroverted, kind, doting, and cook up a meal that could fill a giant, but if you cross one of her little lines, be prepared to endure a small taste of her anger. It says something about how scary she is when Fred and George ''obey Hermione immediately'' when she threatens to tell Molly that they've been testing their joke shop stuff on First Years. And [[spoiler: when Bellatrix Lestrange made the mistake of trying to kill Ginny, Molly made sure that it was Bellatrix’s last — and fatal — mistake.]]

* OddNameOut: George is the only Weasley child who doesn't go by a shortened version of their first name.

* MomentKiller: In the first ''Deathly Hallows'' movie it's George who interrupts a passionate kiss between Harry and Ginny rather than Ron.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the book, Fred is killed by an explosion of the castle’s walls. In the film, he is seen disarmed and at the mercy of a Death Eater who is pausing to listen to Voldemort’s order for an armistice, and is implied to have been killed afterwards despite said order.]]
