Bill Weasley (born November
29, 1970)[1][2] is a fictional character in the
Harry Potter series, the oldest son of
Molly and Arthur
Weasley and the brother of Charlie, Percy, Fred,
George, Ron, and
Ginny.
Bill attended Hogwarts as a Gryffindor from 1982 to 1989, becoming both a prefect and Head
Boy. Later, he worked for Gringotts Bank in Egypt as a curse
breaker.
In Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix, Bill returns to Britain to work
for the Order of the Phoenix. After a year of
knowing Fleur Delacour and a lot of "private lessons"
in English, Bill proposes to Fleur and she accepts. In The Half
Blood Prince, Bill and Fleur are engaged to be married, and the
summer before Harry and Ron's sixth year of school Bill brings his
fiancée to get to know his family.
Prior to the events in the sixth book, he
is described as being a good looking young man (when Fleur sees him
in The Goblet of Fire, she is impressed and eyes him with
"great interest") and has long red hair tied back in a ponytail and
single fang earring. In fact, Harry notes that a guy like Bill
would not be out of place at a rock concert, and Harry is surprised
that Bill (perfect student, prefect and Head Boy at Hogwarts) is so
unlike Percy. Bill's unorthodox looks makes his mother Mrs. Weasley
despair, although everyone else is fine with it. Ginny especially
looks up to her eldest brother. Bill fought bravely in the Battle of Hogwarts, but
did not escape unscathed. The werewolf
Fenrir Greyback savaged Bill, albeit in his
human form, and caused lycanthropy contamination to an unknown,
partial extent. According to Remus
Lupin, who is also a werewolf, this was not enough to cause
actual transformations, though Bill has apparently developed a
liking for extremely rare steaks and is left with a deeply scarred
face. His and Fleur Delacour's plans to marry are unchanged;
indeed, Fleur's firm plans to marry him despite his scarred face
seems to have gained her a lot of respect from Bill's otherwise
disapproving family.
