7 Things Movie Watchers Won't Know about the Weasley's - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing The Weasley’s. More specifically- we’re going to be discussing FACTS about the Weasley’s that people who have ONLY seen the films won’t know. Ahh the Weasley’s, the child-wealthy, money-poor family that we’re introduced to right near the beginning of the series as Harry attempts to board the Hogwarts express at platform 9 ¾. Fussy but loving mrs. Molly Weasley is kicking her children in to gear in order to make sure that they make the train on time, and Harry- just by being close by- is brought in to her gravitational pull as she gives the children orders left and right. However, what surely no one knew at that point was just how close Harry would become with the friendly, loving, and quirky red-headed family.

The Weasley’s immediately make their mark in the story as good people who have nothing but Harry’s best interest in mind- and this fact stays true for the entire story. As Harry came from a very broken, complicated home, he spent countless weeks at the Weasley family home, and during those times Molly Weasley took him in like one of her own, no questions asked.

The immediate Weasley family, in it’s entirety, consists of Fred, George, Charlie, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Bill, Percy, and of course Ron. And I guess we should sort of count Harry as a kind of pseudo foster child. Because of the prevalence of the Weasley’s to the Harry Potter story, we get to know a lot of the characters quite well. We see them grow, evolve and change in to strong independent people - but, with that said, the films certainly don’t give us the same amount of information as the books. There are a lot of things about these loveable characters (some fan favourites) that you simply will have MISSED if you didn’t read the books, and in today’s video I’m going to be sharing some of these facts. We can’t expect the films to include everything, that would be unreasonable. But would it have really been SUCH a big deal to give us 5 hour extended editions of each film? Well, probably- but a man can dream. Without further ado, here are 7 facts about the Weasleys that ONLY book-readers will know.
