Once they entered the ice-covered outer hall leading into the vault itself, Bill marvelled at the complexity of magic required to build such a place. Finding their path blocked by massive blocks of cursed ice reaching all the way up to the high, arching ceiling.
The pair had to get past these obstacles, which Jacob's sibling speculated might be additional defences put in place to prevent people from reaching the vault, by working together to melt them down with flames from their wands.
Once they reached the door, however, Bill, mindful of the details he had received of what happened to Rowan, insisted they would have to " attack the door before it had a chance to attack them ".
Trying to force their way through the door the same way they had done to break through the cursed ice, Bill was caught off guard when it countered the flames and shot a jet of icy light at him without warning, encasing him in a block of cursed ice and restraining his arms and feet.
Jacob's sibling was concerned that they might accidentally hurt Bill if they tried to melt the ice surrounding him. First meaning to run for help, the aforementioned individual finally made their best effort to carefully cast the Fire-Making Spell on the ice, freeing him. Bill informed them of how, while he had suffered no physical injury, it felt as if the cursed ice had somehow drained him of energy, and Jacob's sibling agreed it would be best to leave.
Although he spent some time recovering from his injuries at the Hospital Wing , Bill was quick to dismiss the concerns of Jacob's sibling, telling them how he had never felt as alive before as when the two had tried to break into the vault, eager to give it another try, though wisely suggesting they brought some more people into their second attempt, to which Jacob's sibling voiced their intention of enlisting the aid of Rowan, Ben Copper and Penny Haywood , all of whom Bill urged his fellow pupil to arm with the knowledge and skills necessary to use the Fire-Making Spell as well, and Jacob's sibling also got the idea of helping Ben make some Burn-Healing Paste , prompting Jacob's sibling to take the nervously inclined Gryffindor in the Potions Classroom.
Professor McGonagall got furious at Bill for teaching the Charm, and he thought he would not be appointed Prefect later. In the — school year , Bill became a Prefect , [24] and helped Jacob's sibling , who was helping Rubeus Hagrid , find Fang in the Hogwarts Library.
In the — school year , his seventh year , Bill was made Head Boy. When his pen-friend wanted him to go on an exchange trip, Bill had to decline because his parents could not afford it. His pen-friend, though, was offended and sent him a cursed hat that made his ears shrivel up. At some time prior to his graduation, Bill was given a "Medal of Magical Merit". After graduating from Hogwarts, Bill ultimately managed to live up to his life-long aspirations of joining the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
Having successfully found an opening for Curse-Breakers , applied and been accepted, Bill threw himself into his work, pouring all of his energies into his curse-breaking missions not to think too much about the betrayal of Patricia Rakepick at the end of his final term at school. Frequently concerned about the well-being of his friends back at school, not to mention that of his younger brothers Charlie , Percy , Fred and George , who were all attending Hogwarts at the time, he eventually contacted Albus Dumbledore expressing his concern of the news he had received telling him about the apparent ineffectiveness of Rakepick's successor as Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, and asked if he might be granted permission to visit the school whenever he had down time in between his missions in order to offer supplementary evening classes on the subject in order to help pupils learn how to defend themselves should Rakepick or other members of R to breach the security of the castle once more.
Wholeheartedly agreeing, not only did the Hogwarts Headmaster permit him to visit the school on a regular basis throughout the — school year and — school year , he even gave him free access to Classroom 3C after regular classes were done for the day.
Around December of , Bill was sent to an assignment on some tombs in Egypt , [31] during which he encountered a Mummy that he successfully defeated by blasting it to dust; a story he later told his younger brother Charlie. Afterwards, he Charlie , Merula Snyde and another student left for England with their father's Flying Ford Anglia , and arrived just in time to celebrate Christmas Eve at the Weasley household.
During the — school year , Bill was tasked to retrieve Urgruff's egg from the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. He divulged this information to Jacob's sibling and several of their friends, who immediately wanted to go with him. They went together using a Portkey , battled a Hungarian Horntail and found the egg. They managed to retrieve a chest of treasures from a Sphinx in the Red Cap's Hole. By 1 September , , however, Bill had gone from travelling back and forth between Great Britain and foreign countries for his various missions to being stationed permanently in Egypt.
The Weasley family in Egypt. During the summer of , the whole Weasley family went to Egypt on holiday after his father won seven-hundred galleons in the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw.
Bill took his family on a tour of the Egyptian tombs while they were there. In the summer of , Bill returned to the Burrow to attend the Quidditch World Cup with his family. During his stay, he met his youngest brother Ron's best friend, Harry Potter , for the first time.
During the skirmish, Bill was injured with a deep cut on his arm. In , 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. Bill joined the Order of the Phoenix and applied for a desk job in England , so he could help the Order more effectively.
Although he missed the tombs, he did have one compensation — Fleur Delacour had taken a part-time job at Gringotts to improve her English, and the two began dating. With the Wizarding World at large aware of Lord Voldemort's return in the wake of the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , Bill asked Fleur to marry him after they had been dating for a year.
In the summer of , she stayed at the Burrow for several weeks to get to know Bill's family. However, her blunt nature rubbed Mrs Weasley and Ginny the wrong way, and they thought Bill could do better than her. Ron thought she was doing this so that Bill would fall for Tonks instead, and Ginny stated that she would "much rather have Tonks in the family". Albus Dumbledore's funeral that Bill attended with Fleur and his family. In June , Bill was one of the Order members tasked by Dumbledore to patrol Hogwarts during his absence when he and Harry went to search for one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes.
That night, Death Eaters broke into the school with the help of Draco Malfoy , and during the battle that ensued, Bill was badly injured by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. His face was slashed and ripped, and because of the nature of his attacker, the wounds were cursed. Although Greyback was not transformed at the time, the wounds were contaminated. Bill did not become a werewolf but did develop a liking for very rare steaks.
It was his injuries that finally convinced his mother that Fleur was the right choice for him. Mrs Weasley thought their union was based on physical attraction, but Fleur showed that she loved him no matter what he looked like, and the two women reconciled over his hospital bed.
He was seen sitting next to Fleur during the service. In July , Bill was one of the members of the Order of the Phoenix who assisted in transporting Harry to safety before the protective charm that kept him safe at the Dursleys was broken. Part of the plan involved Fleur disguising herself as Harry, and the two left 4 Privet Drive on a Thestral.
They were chased by a dozen Death Eaters, but escaped unharmed. Bill and Fleur were married on 1 August Bill returned to work, and he and Fleur moved to their own place, Shell Cottage. Later in the year, Bill's brother Ron came to stay with them after abandoning Harry and Hermione during their Horcrux hunt.
Although disappointed in his brother for his previous actions, he could see just how sorry he was and did not let on to the rest of the family that Ron was at the cottage. Dobby's funeral in the garden of Shell Cottage. Bill took them in and allowed Harry to bury the remains of Dobby in his garden. Realising that the enemy was aware that the Weasleys were supporting Harry openly, Bill and his father took the family into hiding using the Fidelius Charm.
In the following weeks, Bill played host to the escapees and realised that Harry was planning something with Griphook. Although not privy to the details, he counselled Harry on the way goblins perceived things and warned him about them.
Shortly after Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Griphook left, he was alerted to Neville Longbottom 's call to arms at Hogwarts, either through the Order of the Phoenix, or the two members of Dumbledore's Army that were staying with him, Luna and Dean. Bill was one of the Weasley members that didn't want Ginny to fight due to her age.
Bill fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and survived, but the victory was tarnished by the death of his brother, Fred.
Following the war, Bill and Fleur had three children, Victoire , [49] Dominique and Louis Weasley [50] Victoire was born on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, thus her name, which means 'victory' in French. She also seemed to have inherited her mother's looks, as she was noted to be good looking. Victoire also seemed to have a relationship with Teddy Lupin.
As of , Bill was still employed as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts and had returned to his work in Egypt. Later that same year, Bill spent his 44th birthday with his wife and the rest of his family.
At some point, Bill had wrote a handbook featuring his experiences with Werewolves, which would be used by members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force pursuing an Auror Profession to increase their methods of overpowering a Werewolf's defences. Bill in after Fenrir Greyback scarred his face. 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.
He wore clothes that, in Harry Potter 's opinion, would not be out of place at a rock concert, and he favoured boots of dragon hide. He was once called a " long-haired pillock " by Rita Skeeter in an article about the Gringotts Curse Breakers. However, when Harry first saw Bill, he was described as "cool. In , he suffered severe facial wounds at the hands of the vicious werewolf Fenrir Greyback during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.
Although untransformed at the time, Greyback's lycanthropy caused the wounds to be cursed, and they could not be treated totally, leaving him heavily scarred. At his wedding, however, he looked so happy one could " hardly tell he had ever met Fenrir Greyback. Bill and Charlie jousting with tables at the Burrow. Bill was laid back and easy going, and described as " cool ". However, he had a serious side, being a high academic achiever as a student and being Hogwarts Head Boy his seventh year.
He took his studies seriously, as he referenced History of Magic , which normally many students would fall asleep due to the teacher's dull style of teaching, during his discussion with Harry regarding goblin's ideals of ownership. He was knowledgeable about wizard-goblin relations for his work. Despite being the eldest of seven children, he had a lively sense of humour and knew how to have fun. He is also of great compassion and loyalty, as he was displeased with how Ron would abandon Harry and Hermione over a little argument, but did not pursue the issue seeing Ron's clear regret, and allowed him to stay for the time being.
After his mauling at the hands of Fenrir Greyback , it was feared that his personality would change and that he would take on some wolfish characteristics. However, Bill's personality remained intact, although he did develop a liking for very rare steaks.
When Bill met Harry Potter for the first time in , Harry was taken by surprise at Bill's cool, laid-back demeanour; from everything Harry had heard from Ron, he had always pictured Bill as an older version of Percy , who was more serious and stuffy than all his siblings. Given how Bill earned twelve O. Bill had a good relationship with all his family members but seemed to be particularly close to Charlie , the sibling closest to him in age and the one he chose as best man at his wedding.
Bill's younger siblings tended to look up to him, especially his only sister, Ginny. She supported Bill whenever their mother criticised his choice of hair and clothing, and a large part of her initial disdain for Fleur Delacour was her belief that the witch was not good enough for her brother. It is unclear whether Ginny ever made her dislike for Fleur known to Bill, but she eventually accepted their relationship. Ginny also tended to take Bill's opinion very seriously; when she, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were discussing their hatred of Snape, she mentioned " Bill doesn't like him either ," as if her older brother's opinion should settle it.
Ron also admired Bill, partly because he was the only one of his siblings who did not tease him. Towards the end of , when Ron temporarily abandoned Harry and Hermione during their search for Voldemort's Horcruxes , he stayed with Bill and Fleur at Shell Cottage. Although Bill was not impressed by his brother's actions, he realised how sorry Ron was about it and never mentioned it. Normally, Percy did look up to Bill, but when Percy had a falling out with his family due to conflict of belief over the return of Lord Voldemort, Percy cut all ties with his family, Bill included, and was the only sibling not to attend Bill's wedding despite being issued an invitation.
Bill also got along well with his parents, though his mother constantly tried to pressure him into cutting his hair and not dressing as flashily as he liked to. She also disapproved of his choice of wife initially, though she came to accept Fleur once she realised how in love the couple was and their liking of one another was not based on looks as she had first believed.
Bill fought in the Battle of Hogwarts in with the rest of his family. He was devastated by his younger brother Fred's death and was seen comforting his wife Fleur in the Great Hall.
Bill also became the uncle to many Weasleys, through his brothers. He also had two Potter nephews and one Potter niece, through Ginny's marriage to Harry Potter , Bill's brother-in-law. Fleur Delacour , his wife and future mother of his children.
Fleur was attracted to him immediately, eyeing him from a distance. 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. A boggart is a malevolent shape-shifting creature that takes the form of its viewer's greatest fear. As a mother and natural caretaker, Molly's biggest fear was losing her family, which is why any boggart she encountered would take the form of her dead children and husband.
Although Harry wasn't her biological son, she'd grown to consider him as such throughout the series, so the form of Molly's boggart eventually shifted to include his demise as well.
After graduating, she took a job at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Bill Weasley was also working there as a Curse-Breaker, and the two hit it off. But when Bill first started dating Fleur, his mother and sister were unimpressed with her.
Molly questioned her love for Bill, and both Molly and Ginny's general dislike for her was clear whenever she was around. Molly even continuously tried to set her son up with Nymphadora Tonks throughout his engagement — which was more than a little awkward because Tonks was already falling for Remus Lupin.
However, by the time Bill and Fleur's wedding came around, the family had warmed to Fleur a little. The epilogue of "Deathly Hallows" takes place 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts and introduces a few new people — namely the children of the main characters from the series. The very last character to be introduced in the series was Victoire Weasley, Bill and Fleur's eldest child. In the documentary "J.
Rowling: A Year in the Life," the author said that the character was born on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, hence her name, which is French for "victory. In the documentary, Rowling also drew a Weasley family tree that showed the couple had two other children named Dominique and Louis. Domhnall Gleeson played Bill Weasley in the final films, but he wasn't the first actor to portray the character. In "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," viewers catch a brief glimpse of the entire Weasley clan in a photo from their trip to Egypt.
In that brief appearance, actor Richard Fish played Bill. Luckily, he wasn't turned, but he was left with large, cursed scars across his face and some wolf-like tendencies. In "Deathly Hallows," Bill is described as having a "distant resemblance" to Mad-Eye Moody, who was also badly scarred from his career as an Auror.
Funnily enough, the actor who played Bill in the movies is the real-life son of Brendan Gleeson, who played Moody. According to the documentary, out of the six surviving Weasley children, Charlie was the only one who didn't marry and have children. Bill and Fleur had their three children. Percy married a witch named Audrey and had two daughters, Molly and Lucy, with her. George married Fred's ex-girlfriend, Angelina Johnson, and they had two children together named Fred and Roxanne.
Very little is known about Charlie, aside from his passion for magical creatures, which has led some fans to wonder about the character's sexual orientation. However, in "J. Rowling: A Year in the Life," the author said, "No, I don't think Charlie's gay, just more interested in dragons than women. There were quite a few differences between the "Harry Potter" books and films. Some of those changed seemed like large and confusing omissions, but others simply had to do with the physical appearances of characters.
In the case of Percy Weasley, the books say on several occasions that he wears glasses, but the character never wears them in the films. Fred and George, the twin Weasley brothers and legendary pranksters, were fittingly born on April Fool's Day of Rowling also confirmed in a tweet from that Fred was the older of the two twins, which may be why he tended to take the lead on many of their antics.
Per The Guardian , in a now-deleted Daily Prophet article from Pottermore, fictional gossip columnist Rita Skeeter shared that Ron worked with Harry at the Ministry of Magic for two years before retiring to comanage Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes joke shop with his brother, George. In the same now-deleted Daily Prophet article, fans also got a glimpse at Ginny's life after the series. After playing Quidditch professionally for the all-female Holyhead Harpies, she went on to work as the Quidditch correspondent for The Daily Prophet.
