Ron Weasley
Ronald Bilius "Ron" Weasley (b. 1 March, 1980) was a pure-blood wizard, and
the sixth son of Arthur Weasley and Molly
Weasley (néePrewett). He was also the younger brother of Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George,
and the elder brother of Ginny.
Ron and his brothers and sister lived in The Burrow where Harry and Hermione
stayed quite often. Ron began attending Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991 and was
sorted into Gryffindor house. He soon became best friends with
fellow student Harry Potter and later Hermione Granger.
Together, they faced many challenges during their
adolescence, including keeping the Philosopher's Stone from Quirinus Quirrell, saving Ron's sister from
the Chamber of Secrets, forming Dumbledore's Army, and fighting in numerous
battles of the Second Wizarding War, including the Battle of the Department of
Mysteries, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, and
the Battle of the Seven Potters. Ron also
became a Gryffindor prefect and a Keeper on
the Gryffindor Quidditch team during his
fifth year at Hogwarts. He skipped his last year of school in order to
accompany Harry and Hermione on a
quest to destroy the Horcruxes of Lord
Voldemort and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, in which he
lost his brother, Fred, a loss which devastated him.
After the war, Ron, along with Harry
Potter and Neville Longbottom, joined the Aurors at
the invitation of Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt, in order to track down Death
Eaters who escaped capture.
Eventually, he went to work at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes with his
brother George.
He and Hermione eventually married and had two children: a daughter named Rose and
a son named Hugo Weasley. Ron was also the godfather to James
Sirius Potter, his sister Ginny
Weasley and Harry
Potter's eldest child.
