| The Stones & The Grandma arriving to The Burrow |
The Stones have already known two important members of this family, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley, but today thay have been invited to met the rest of the family in their wonderful home, The Burrow.
Before visiting The Weasleys, The Grandma has offered a new Cambridge Key English Test A2 Example.
The Weasley family family were a pure-blood wizarding family in Great Britain. 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.
They lived in The Burrow, a ramshackle house of four or five stories a little way outside the village of Ottery St Catchpole.

Despite being one of the biggest blood traitor families, they seemed rather proud of it. They were included in the Sacred Twenty-Eight list, published in the Pure-Blood Directory. However, they deplored their inclusion in the list, because they said they had ancestral ties to many interesting Muggles. Their protests earned these families the opprobrium of advocates of the pure-blood doctrine, and the epithet blood traitor.
The Weasleys tended to have large numbers of children; an unusual trait for wizarding families, according to Draco Malfoy.

The most recent generations of Weasleys have been considered poor by wizarding standards; their vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank only contained a small pile of Sickles and a single Galleon.
For several generations, only boys were born into the family, until the birth of Ginevra Molly Weasley. This trend ended with the grandchildren of Arthur and Molly, who include more girls than boys.
When Harry Potter befriended Arthur and Molly Weasley's youngest son, Ronald Weasley, The Weasleys became a second family to Harry.
The Burrow became Harry's home away from home and Arthur and Molly served as de facto godparents in Sirius Black's absence.

Ah! Another Weasley.
I know just what to do with you.
GRYFFINDOR!

The Burrow was the family home of the Weasley family, located on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon, England.
It was a thoroughly magical dwelling that became a second home to Harry Potter. A barn and chicken coop stood nearby. It was so well hidden that Molly Weasley doubted that the postman even knew it existed.
The Burrow was held up with magic and was very cluttered inside, but very welcoming at the same time. It was also stated that it was quite near to the Lovegood House.
The Burrow was held up with magic and was very cluttered inside, but very welcoming at the same time. It was also stated that it was quite near to the Lovegood House.
The Burrow became the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
The Weasleys were forced to abandon their home during the height of the Second Wizarding War when they became targets of the Death Eaters. In the place The Burrow came to stand, once stood a little Tudor building with a large stone pigpen on the side. It's unknown what happened to the building, but after Arthur and Molly Weasley's marriage, the family settled in the pigpen.

As
the family grew over the birth of their children, the couple started
building upward with add-on bits of architectural salvage they picked up
wherever they could find.
The house was several stories high, with four
or five chimneys on the roof, with all the appearance of being held up
by magical means.
The
Weasleys had presumably been in residence at The Burrow for a long
time.
The Burrow had been the home to the nine Weasleys, although their
numbers had thinned over the years as the children grew up and moved
out. Despite being poor, none of The Weasleys seemed ashamed of their
home, and it had a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. It was a welcoming
place, and friends of the family were regular visitors.
The Burrow had a small yard at the front of the house, with a garage that stored Arthur Weasley's flying Ford Anglia and Muggle artefacts, and a chicken coop that housed the family's chickens. A sign in the ground read The Burrow by the main entrance.
Behind the main house was a large, overgrown garden with a pond full of frogs. The garden was home to a large number of gnomes; The Weasleys had to regularly de-gnome the garden by throwing them over the hedge.

The kitchen of The Burrow was the social centre of the Weasley family. Located at the back of the house, it was accessible from the garden.
The scullery was located just off the kitchen. It was described as a tiny room with a mangle in it. This room was generally used by Molly Weasley when washing clothes.
The living room of the Weasley home was a cosy room, with a sofa and armchairs. There was a large fireplace, a wooden wireless set, a huge wooden bookshelf, and a clock that, rather than telling the time, indicated the status of each member of the Weasley family.
The Burrow had at least six bedrooms. Arthur and Molly slept in the master bedroom, while their children generally had bedrooms that often ended up shared either with each other or with guests.
Located at the very top of the house was the attic. A small hatch in the ceiling outside Ron's room opened to reveal a ladder that allowed access to the attic. The attic was a dark, musty place where the Weasley family ghoul lived. The ghoul was considered more of a pet than a pest by the family, and it took to loudly banging the pipes when it felt that things were too quiet in The Burrow.

I think it's brilliant.
Harry Potter's initial reaction to The Burrow
Arthur Weasley is an English pure-blood wizard in the employ of the Ministry of Magic, as well as a member of the second Order of the Phoenix.
He was a staunch believer in the equality of all magical and Muggle folk and was the head of the Weasley family.
Arthur was born to Septimus and Cedrella Weasley (née Black) and had two brothers. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Gryffindor house. Soon after graduating, Arthur married Molly Prewett.

| Molly Weasley & Arthur Weasley |
During the First Wizarding War, he and Molly had seven children: sons Bill, Charlie, Percy, twins Fred and George, and Ron, as well as their daughter Ginny.
He was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix during this period, and it is unknown if he participated in any way in the First Wizarding War. At some point after graduating from Hogwarts, Arthur began working for the Ministry, in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. He was promoted to head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects by the new Minister for Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour. When the Second Wizarding War began, Arthur joined the Order.

While guarding the Department of Mysteries, he was attacked by Lord Voldemort's pet snake Nagini, but he made a full recovery. Arthur participated in the Battle of the Seven Potters and the Battle of Hogwarts, in which he suffered the devastating loss of his son; however, he survived the war.
After the war, he saw his family expand even further with the addition of twelve grandchildren, through the marriage of many of his surviving children and returned as the Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office.

Arthur Weasley was born to Septimus and Cedrella Weasley (née Black). His mother was disowned for marrying a blood traitor, as her family believed strongly in the notion of pure-blood supremacy. Arthur had two brothers.
While at school, he met and began dating fellow Gryffindor Molly Prewett. Arthur got caught out of bed by the school caretaker Apollyon Pringle after he and Molly went for a night-time stroll one evening and was severely punished.
 |
| Arthur Weasley, Harry Potter & Ginny Weasley |
Arthur learned about the return of Lord Voldemort and joined the second Order of the Phoenix. He did this in preparation for the upcoming war. A week into the summer holiday Arthur got into an intense argument with his son Percy Weasley. Percy had recently been promoted to Junior Assistant to the Minister, working directly for Cornelius Fudge. Percy had hoped his family would be pleased, but Arthur suspected it was a move by the Ministry to put a spy in the Weasley family.
Like many other members of the Weasley family, Arthur had bright red hair, though he was balding. He wore glasses and had blue eyes, and also possessed the tall, thin build inherited by his sons Ron and Bill. He also had visible marks somewhere on his body from a decent caning whilst at Hogwarts, for being late.
Weasley is derived from the weasel, an animal J. K. Rowling is fond of. The term is especially appropriate for Molly, as a mother weasel is particularly protective of her young to the point that she will willingly take on animals several times bigger than her in defence of her offspring.

Fascinating, Ingenious, really how many ways
Muggles have found ways of getting along without magic.
Arthur Weasley
Molly Weasley (née Prewett) is an English pure-blood witch and matriarch of the Weasley family after marrying Arthur Weasley.
She was born into the Prewett family and was sister to Fabian and Gideon Prewett, members of the original Order of the Phoenix.
Molly was born into the Prewett family. Her relationship with her mother and father is unknown, but it is possible that, like the Weasleys, the Prewetts didn't buy into values of pure-blood supremacy held by so many other wizarding pure blood families.
 |
| Molly Weasley & Arthur Weasley |
Her brothers, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, were both members of the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War, but were brutally killed by five Death Eaters.
It is likely that Molly was close to her brothers, as she kept Fabian's watch until she gave it to Harry Potter for his seventeenth birthda. Their deaths influenced her later protectiveness of her family during the Second Wizarding War.
It is likely that Molly was close to her brothers, as she kept Fabian's watch until she gave it to Harry Potter for his seventeenth birthda. Their deaths influenced her later protectiveness of her family during the Second Wizarding War.
Molly attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. Sometime after she graduated, both her brothers were murdered by Death Eaters in the First Wizarding War.
Molly and Arthur ended up having seven children, consisting of six sons named Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron and only one daughter named Ginny Weasley.
She also played a large part in the life of Harry Potter, acting as a motherly figure towards him.
More information: Wizarding World I & II
Molly was a member of the revived Order of the Phoenix following the return of Lord Voldemort and participated in the final battle of the Second Wizarding War. Her actions during this battle caused her to be known as the witch that defeated and killed the notorious Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange.
Molly was born to Mr and Mrs Prewett. She had two brothers: Gideon and Fabian. Molly began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early and was sorted into Gryffindor House. She once said that in her youth she brewed a love potion.

| Molly Weasley |
It was Hogwarts where
Molly met Arthur Weasley, whom she began dating. One night, they went
out for a night-time stroll and whilst Arthur got caught by Apollyon
Pringle, she managed to get back to Gryffindor Tower at four in the
morning and was told off by the Fat Lady.
Molly graduated from Hogwarts. She and Arthur wed soon after. The family lived at The Burrow on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon.
Molly and Arthur's first child, William, was born. More children followed: Charlie, Percy, and twins Fred and George. After having her first five sons, she longed to have a daughter but had another son, Ronald, before finally having a daughter, Ginevra.
More information: Wizarding World I & II
Molly was frequently described as a short, slightly plump, and kindly-looking woman. Like the rest of her immediate family, she had flaming fiery red hair and her eyes were the same shade of warm brown as her daughter's. Harry was shocked to see that she could so easily look like a sabre-tooth tiger when she was angry with her sons.
Molly is a diminutive form of Mary, the English form of the Hebrew name Miryam, the meaning of which is unknown, though theories include sea of bitterness, rebelliousness, wished for child, and beloved. In the case of Molly Weasley, however, the name is most likely derived from the term mollycoddle, meaning to to pamper or overprotect.
The surname Prewett is Welsh in origin. It is derived from the Middle English word prou, meaning brave or valiant, and the suffix -et, which implies smallness. Thus, it is believed to be derived from a nickname for someone small, but brave.

Molly Weasley
William Arthur Bill Weasley is an English pure-blood wizard, the first child of Arthur and Molly Weasley and the eldest brother of Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny.
He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was both a prefect and Head Boy.
After graduating from Hogwarts he went to work for Gringotts Wizarding Bank as a Curse-Breaker, working in Egypt.
He returned to England and joined the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix to face the reborn Lord Voldemort. During this time, he started courting Fleur Delacour and eventually asked her to marry him after a year of dating.
 |
| Bill Weasley |
During the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, Bill was severely injured by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. Although he wasn't turned into a werewolf, he did develop some wolfish tendencies such as a liking for very rare steaks.
He married Fleur, although their wedding was disrupted by the arrival of Death Eaters following the fall of the Ministry of Magic.
Bill and Fleur then moved to Shell Cottage, where they assisted Harry, Ron, and Hermione after their escape from Malfoy Manor. Bill later fought in the Battle of Hogwarts alongside the rest of the Order and survived.
Bill and his five brothers -Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, and Ron- as well as his younger sister, Ginny, grew up in The Burrow on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon, England. Like all his siblings, he was home educated in reading, writing, and simple maths by his mother.

The Weasley family was not wealthy compared to other wizarding families. Many other pure-blood families, particularly the Malfoys, disdained them for their blood traitor, pro-muggle beliefs and their lack of wealth. They tried their best to make up for this with their love. It can be assumed that Bill had a fairly happy childhood, as all the Weasley siblings did.
 |
| Bill Weasley |
Bill took more time off work to travel to Hogwarts with his mother to support Harry during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament. It was during this time that he met Fleur Delacour, who was attracted to him from the start.
Following the death of Cedric Diggory and the revelation that Lord Voldemort had returned, Bill immediately set out to inform his father of the news, and that Albus Dumbledore would be contacting him.
Shortly after, Bill moved back to England to work for the Order of the Phoenix, taking a desk job at Gringotts. Fleur had taken a part-time job at the bank to improve her English, and the two began dating shortly after.
After a year together Bill proposed and Fleur accepted. His mother felt it was too soon for him to get married and worried that he was only doing it in response to the return of Lord Voldemort.
Bill and Fleur married and set up a home of their own, Shell Cottage.
Bill was tall, thin, handsome, and had red hair like the rest of the Weasley family. He wore it long and in a ponytail, and he had an earring with a fang dangling from it.
The name William comes from the Germanic name Wilhelm, which was composed of the elements wil will, desire and helm helmet, protection.

Fleur Delacour
Charles Charlie Weasley is an English pure-blood wizard, the second eldest son of Arthur and Molly Weasley, younger brother of Bill Weasley and the elder brother of Percy, George, Ron, Ginny, and the late Fred Weasley.
He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Gryffindor House.
He was both a Prefect and Quidditch Captain during his time at school, after which he went to study dragons in Romania.
During the Second Wizarding War, Charlie was a member of the second Order of the Phoenix and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, arriving with reinforcements during the final portion of the battle. He was also present when Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort once and for all.
 |
| Charlie Weasley with her family in Egypt |
Charlie started his first term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Gryffindor House like the rest of his family, and was in the same year as Hufflepuff Nymphadora Tonks.
Charlie became the Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He greatly excelled in the position. He eventually became Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
After leaving school, Charlie went to Romania to study dragons. At some point, he acquired a new wand, and his old wand was passed down to his youngest brother, Ron.
Charlie joined the rest of his family for a holiday in Egypt after his father won seven hundred galleons in the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw.
When Albus Dumbledore reconstituted the Order of the Phoenix to oppose Lord Voldemort, Charlie joined alongside his family. While his brother Bill returned to England to better serve the Order, Charlie remained in Romania and was assigned to recruit foreign wizards to the cause.
Charlie once more returned to The Burrow, to serve as best man at Bill's wedding to Fleur Delacour.
Charlie was described by his brother Percy as being always more of an outdoor type. Charlie was also brave, as he was sorted into Gryffindor house and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts against Voldemort.
The name Charles comes from the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from a Germanic word which meant man. However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic element hari meaning army, warrior.

Percy Weasley
Percy Ignatius Weasley is an English pure-blood wizard, the third child of Arthur and Molly Weasley.
He is the younger brother of Bill and Charlie and the older brother of Ron, Ginny, George, and the late Fred Weasley.
He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was both a prefect and Head Boy.
He started at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Gryffindor House, where he shared a dormitory with Oliver Wood. He took a pet rat named Scabbers with him. An academically inclined, ambitious, and hard working student. Percy was made prefect in his fifth year.
That year, when Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was under a constant threat of attack by Sirius Black, he prided himself in helping with security, being trusted wholly by Albus Dumbledore to keep the students safe.
 |
| Percy Weasley |
A high achiever, he went
to work at the Ministry of Magic after leaving school, working in the
Department of International Magical Cooperation under Barty Crouch Senior
and later as Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic himself.
However, Percy's rise through the Ministry caused a rift between him and his family following the return of Lord Voldemort. His father thought that his promotion to Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge's office was a plot by the Minister to keep tabs on the Weasleys, and through them, Albus Dumbledore.
Percy denied this and remained steadfastly loyal to the Ministry's line that Voldemort was not back, estranging himself from his family and furthermore condemning them for their support of and affiliation with Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.
Even though the Ministry did accept that the Dark Lord had indeed returned following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Percy's shame over his behaviour stopped him from reconciling with his family.
After the fall of the Ministry to the Death Eaters, Percy finally realised just how corrupt the Ministry was and fully accepted that he had been wrong the whole time and abandoned the Ministry.
More information: Wizarding World
Percy Ignatius Weasley was the third of seven children born to Arthur and Molly Weasley. He was a small child during the height of the First Wizarding War.
In the fighting, his maternal uncles, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, both members of the Order of the Phoenix, were murdered fighting Antonin Dolohov and four other Death Eaters.
 |
| Percy Weasley |
While he was still a child, the wizarding world became peaceful again, for a time, after Lord Voldemort's first defeat.
Percy was tall and thin, like his father and brothers Bill and Ron, and with the vivid red hair and freckles characteristic of the Weasley family. He wore horn-rimmed glasses, and also tried to carry himself in a dignified manner, although he usually came off looking pretentious and silly.
Percy is a short form of the name Percival, which is derived from Old French, meaning pierce the veil. It was the name of one of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legend. This may be a pattern in names in the Weasley family, as Percy's father is named Arthur and his sister is named Ginevra, a version of Guinevere.
Percival is also one of Albus Dumbledore's middle names, and Albus formerly had reddish (auburn) hair, suggesting a possible link between the two families. It can also be short for Perseus, which is derived from Ancient Greek, meaning destroyer. It could possibly be clues for him destroying his relationship with his family.
The namesake for Percy's middle name, Ignatius, was likely his mother's uncle Ignatius Prewett. Ignatius is a Roman name altered from its original Etruscan to resemble the Latin ignis, meaning fire. It was the name of several saints, including the founder of the Jesuits.

Percy Weasley
Fred Weasley is an English pure-blood wizard, was the fourth son and the middle child the most daring and dominant among the twins of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, younger brother to Bill, Charlie and Percy, and older brother of Ron and Ginny Weasley, and older twin brother and best friend to George Weasley.
Fred's first few years were marked by the height of the First Wizarding War and when Lord Voldemort fell for the first time.
He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Gryffindor House. Both he and his twin brother were popular students, known for their sense of humour, pranks, and were also Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. They joined Albus Dumbledore's Army, an organisation taught and led by Harry Potter.
 |
| Fred Weasley |
A born prankster and inventor, Fred left Hogwarts shortly prior to graduation to become a successful entrepreneur, alongside his twin brother, George, and opened the joke shop Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley.
Fred was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix; he fought in the Battle of the Seven Potters and was a commentator for Potterwatch during the height of the Second Wizarding War.
Fred participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, defending the castle's passageways with his twin. While fighting alongside his brother, Percy, he was killed in an explosion.
Fred was very popular among the Gryffindors in school, and he and George were well known for their senses of humour and pranks.
More information: Wizarding World I, II & III
In their second year, Fred and George became Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. They both used Cleansweep Five broomsticks and were so skilled at Quidditch that they were both described as being like Human Bludgers.
Fred also became friends with Harry Potter in his third year, when Harry palled around with his younger brother Ron and was made the Quidditch team's Seeker.
Fred and George began inventing magical prank items, starting with the Ton-Tongue Toffee, which Fred dropped near Harry's cousin Dudley Dursley in order to test it out. This was very successful.
 |
| Fred & George Weasley |
As supporters of Albus Dumbledore, George and Fred both joined the Order of the Phoenix once they were of age. They participated in the Battle of the Seven Potters, along with their father and their younger brother Ron.
The name Fred is generally considered a short form of the name Frederick. Alfred, and Wilfred, along with now being a name in its own right. Frederick is the English form of a Germanic name meaning peaceful ruler, derived from frid, peace, and ric, ruler, power. It has been a very common name for rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia, such as Frederick the Great of Prussia.
Fred is also sometimes used as a diminutive of Alfred, derived from the Old English Ælfræd, meaning elf counsel, or Alfrid, meaning old peace. Alfred the Great was a ninth-century king of Wessex who battled the Danes and translated many Latin books into Old English. In Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish, Fred means peace.
There has been some suggestion that Fred and George are named after their maternal uncles, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, who were killed in the First Wizarding War, who may have been twins, and who share Fred and George's first initials.
Another possible significance of the twins' names is that George III became king because of the early death of Frederick, Prince of Wales. George III was also deaf in one ear. J. K. Rowling has stated that she chose the name for liking and and finding it fitting with the old-fashioned theme of the other Weasley brothers.

Fred Weasley
George Weasley is an English pure-blood wizard, the fifth son and the less dominant among the twins of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, younger brother of Bill, Charlie and Percy and older brother to Ron, and Ginny, and younger twin brother and best friend of the late Fred Weasley.
George's first few years were marked by the height of the First Wizarding War and Lord Voldemort's first fall.
He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with Fred, and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. He and Fred were popular students, becoming Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in their second year, and members of Albus Dumbledore's Army in their unfinished seventh year.

He was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and fought in the Battle of the Seven Potters and the Battle of Hogwarts.
George and Fred were troublemakers from a young age, delighting in playing clever pranks and in teasing their siblings, especially Percy, and it was a challenge for their mother to try to keep them under control.
George was educated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. He and his twin brother made very good friends with fellow Gryffindors Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Oliver Wood, and became well known for their senses of humour.

During their first year
at Hogwarts, George and Fred swiped the Marauder's Map from Argus
Filch's office, which further aided in their mischief.
George gained a position on the Gryffindor Quidditch team as a Beater, as did Fred. They were both extremely skilled players, described by Oliver Wood as being like human Bludgers.

| George & Fred Weasley |
George and Fred began selling, as well as experimenting with, their inventions. Hogwarts also hosted the Triwizard Tournament, which Fred and George both wanted to enter, despite being underage. They attempted to fool the Age Line spell that Albus Dumbledore put around the Goblet of Fire using an Ageing Potion, but the attempt was unsuccessful, though they both thought their beards were uproariously funny.
George stayed in 12 Grimmauld Place, the headquarters of the newly reconstituted Order of the Phoenix, along with most of his family.
George and Fred also joined Albus Dumbledore's Army. They greatly disliked the new Ministry appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge and wanted to oppose Ministry control at Hogwarts, as well as prepare to fight Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
George, like the other members of the Weasley family, sported flaming-red hair and freckles, and was shorter than his brothers Bill, Percy, and Ron, and somewhat stocky, like his brothers Fred and Charlie. George is a very clever, talented, and creative wizard.
George is a popular male given name derived from the Greek word γεωργος, georgos, meaning farmer or earthworker. Saint George was a third-century martyr who became a patron saint of England after the Crusades.
