☻Paternal grandparents: Septimus and Cedrella Weasley
Aunts & Uncles:
☻Weasley: Arthur had 2 brothers but we don't know their names.

'Weasley' meaning: Does Weasley mean "like a weasel?" JKR: "In Britain and Ireland the weasel has a bad reputation as an unfortunate, even malevolent, animal. However, since childhood I have had a great fondness for the Family Mustelidae; not so much malignant as maligned, in my opinion"
☻Other names: Dobby calls him 'Wheezy,' Luna calls him 'Ronald' instead of 'Ron,' and Lavender Brown calls him 'Won-Won'. Ron's copy of Advanced Potion-Making got inscribed 'Roonil Wazlib' when his quill malfunctioned. Slughorn calls Ron 'Ralph' and 'Rupert' by mistake.

☻Wand: Initially used Charlie’s old wand. There is conflicting information about his second wand. According to PA4, it is 14-inch willow containing one unicorn tail-hair, but according to Jo's website it is Ash. Ron used this wand until it was taken by the Greyback and the snatchers. He never got that one back. Eventually he won Pettigrew’s: Chestnut and Dragon Heartstring, 9.25 inches, Brittle. Ron also took a blackthorn wand from one of the first set of Snatchers and gave it to Harry.

☻Career: Ron got his wish to be an Auror when he was recruited by Minister Shacklebolt to work with Harry to reform the Ministry and seek out the remaining Death Eaters. He also helped George run Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

☺Profile of Ron Weasley☺

Ron Weasley is Harry Potter’s best friend and the youngest son of Molly and Arthur Weasley. The story of Ron’s life is one of being overshadowed by his family and friends, yet it is Ron’s heart and humor that have solidified his friendships and given those around him the support they needed to carry through. Tall and gangly with bright red hair and freckles, Ron has a way of keeping things lighthearted that makes him well-liked, despite occasional bouts of stress. He also played an instrumental role in Voldemort’s defeat, and though history may not remember him for it as it will Harry, Ron learned as he grew that this did not make him any less important.

Ron met Harry on the Hogwarts Express in 1991, and they quickly became friends. A funny sort of jealousy existed between them, with Harry in awe of Ron’s family and knowledge of the wizarding world and Ron of Harry’s money and fame. However, despite feeling angry with Harry at times, such as when he thought Harry had deliberately entered the Triwizard Tournament or misled him in the hunt for Horcruxes, Ron deeply cared about his best friend and overwhelmingly supported him – putting his life on the line several times and supporting Harry in the face of doubters. Harry knew this when he quickly forgave Ron each time he returned.

Ron also had another relationship which faced some growing pains over the years – his friendship with Hermione Granger. Though attracted to each other for years, the two showed this mainly by bickering; Ron certainly didn’t step up when he had the chance and ask Hermione to the Yule Ball, for example, though he spent the whole evening envious of her date, Viktor Krum. In his sixth year, Ron came to the cold realization that Hermione had likely snogged Krum and retaliated by getting involved with Lavender Brown. The superficial relationship soon fell apart, and though Ron continued to fear that Hermione wouldn’t think him good enough for her, they finally came around to each other just before the Battle of Hogwarts.

Ron did manage to capture some glory while at Hogwarts, as Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. An avid Chudley Cannons fan his whole life, Ron tried out for the Gryffindor team and made it in 1995 – only to find himself a nervous wreck during matches. When he finally found his focus, though, Ron ended up being a team hero and leading them to two Quidditch cups, fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Above all, through his childhood, Ron played an instrumental part in Harry’s epic encounters with Voldemort. Among other things he sacrificed himself so that Harry could reach the Philosopher’s Stone, journeyed with Harry into the Chamber of Secrets, helped form Dumbledore's Army, fought and was severely injured in the Department of Mysteries, defended against the Death Eaters that broke into Hogwarts, saved Harry from drowning and destroyed a Horcrux, figured out how to break into the Chamber of Secrets again, to destroy another Horcrux, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, breaking one of Voldemort’s Silencing Charms and defeating Fenrir Greyback. Though he later jokes of being “extremely famous,” it would not be undeserved.

Following Voldemort’s defeat, Harry, Neville and Ron were recruited by Minister Shacklebolt to be Aurors, and seek out the remaining Death Eaters. Ron also helped George run the hugely successful Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes shop. Sometime between 1998 and 2005, Ron married Hermione, with whom he had two children, Rose and Hugo. And in the end, he got the fame he had desired ever since the Mirror of Erised showed him as Head Boy – and got his picture on a Chocolate Frog card.

♥Hermione Jean Granger♥



"But you're Muggles! We must have a drink! What's that you've got
there? Oh, you're changing Muggle money. Molly, look!"
-- Arthur Weasley upon meeting the Grangers in Gringotts

"An' they haven't invented a spell our Hermione can' do."
-- Rubeus Hagrid

♀NAME ASSOCIATIONS♀

☻Birth name: Hermione Jean Granger.
☻First name: JKR chose the name Hermione from a character in Shakespeare's play "A Winter's Tale;" although she says that the characters are not at all similar. She thought it made sense for a couple of professional dentists to name their only daughter something like that to show how clever they were. But she chose a very unusual name because she worried that, if there were a real child somewhere who was bright and had larger-than-usual front teeth that had the same name, she might get teased. Hermione was also the name of two British character actresses who played witches. Hermione Baddely played Elspeth in the "Bewitched" TV series and was in Mary Poppins, and Hermione Gingold was in the movie "Bell Book and Candle." JKR has fun throughout the series with people mangling the pronunciation of Hermione’s name.
☻Middle name: In 2004, Jo told us her middle name was 'Jane'; however Rowling changed it to 'Jean" in Book 7, possibly so that Hermione and Umbridge wouldn't share the same middle name. 'Jean' is also one of the middle names of Rowling's daughter Mackenzie.
☻Last name: Grange - A grange is a barn or a farm with buildings to store grain, so ‘Granger’ is an occupational name for a farm bailiff.

♀FAMILY♀

☻Birthdate: 19 Sept 1979. Note: Although the DVD timelines were approved by Rowling, they do not match her other statements exactly. According to her website, Hermione was born before Harry and Ron, so her birthday would have to be in 1979, not 1980 as stated on the DVD.
☻Ancestry: Muggle-born.
☻Mother: Unnamed Muggle (dentist). Hermione thoughtfully
protected her parents from Death Eater reprisals by modifying their memories, giving them new names (Wendell and Monica Wilkins), no memory that they once had a daughter, and then relocated them to Australia. When Voldemort and his forces were vanquished, she found them again and reversed her memory charm.
☻Father: Unnamed Muggle (dentist).
☻Siblings: At one time in the writing process, Hermione had a younger sister; however, Rowling decided not to include that character, so Hermione is an only child.
☻Childhood: The Grangers, while accepting the Wizarding world and their daughter's place in it, do not approve of using magic for quick fixes. They insisted, for example, that Hermione's somewhat oversized front teeth be dealt with in the usual way: with braces. They send healthy snacks by owl to Hermione at Hogwarts and come with her to Diagon Alley in August to help her buy her things for school. What they tell their family and friends about their daughter and her school is anyone's guess, but they are certainly proud of her.
☻Spouse: Ron Weasley.
☻Children: Rose and Hugo, and godmother to Harry's son James Sirius Potter.
☻Pet: Crookshanks (cat/kneazle hybrid).

♀APPEARANCE♀

☻Eye color: Brown.
☻Hair color: Brown and bushy.
☻From the books: "She had a bossy sort of voice, lots of bushy brown hair, and rather large front teeth"

♀HERMIONE at HOGWARTS♀

☻First year: 1991.
☻House: Gryffindor, although the Sorting Hat considered putting her in Ravenclaw at first
☻Earned 11 O.W.L.s: She received 10 "Outstandings" (Care of Magical Creatures, Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Herbology, Astronomy, History of Magic, Arithmancy, Ancient Runes and one unknown class), and an "Exceeds expectations" in Defence Against the Dark Arts.
☻N.E.W.T.s: Hermione missed her seventh year at Hogwarts (DH), but she went back to school the whole following year and took her N.E.W.T.s so she could graduate properly
☻Awards, etc.: Prefect for Gryffindor her 5th & 6th years.
☻Organizations & affiliations: Dumbledore’s Army; S.P.E.W.
☻Amortentia (love potion) smells: freshly mown grass, new parchment and Ron's hair

♀SKILLS, ETC.♀

☻Wand: Vine wood with a dragon heartstring core until it was taken by Greyback and his snatchers. After they escaped from the Malfoy mansion Hermione used Bellatrix's wand: walnut and dragon heartstring, 12.5 inches, unyielding.
☻Other devices: Revealer. Used a Time-Turner during the 1993-1994 school year to take extra classes, beaded purse.
☻Socks: Knits them for the house-elves.
☻Career: After Voldemort was killed, she worked for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she improved the quality of life for house-elves and other disenfranchised creatures. Later, she worked for Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement where she put an end to pro-pureblood laws.
☻Skills: Packing for long trips, Logic; Arithmancy; portable waterproof fires; Apparition. JKR says Hermione speaks for her sometimes. Has actually read Hogwarts: A History. Can produce a full Patronus and mastered the Protean Charm to create the enchanted coins used by Dumbledore's Army.
☻Patronus: Otter.
☻Boggart: McGonagall telling her she failed everything
☻Handwriting: "neat"

♀Profile of Hermione Jean Granger♀

Resourceful, principled and brilliant, Hermione is easily the brightest witch of her generation. She, along with Ron Weasley, is one of Harry Potter’s closest friends. She is also Muggle-born (her parents were dentists), and so is a living, breathing example of the fallacy of pureblood wizard supremacy.

Hermione reads voraciously and prefers concrete, knowable subjects like runes and history to the more inexact subjects like divination. When she was new to Hogwarts she was very insecure so she took comfort in things like rules and book-learning; as she became more confident in magic and more comfortable in the Wizarding world, she relaxed – somewhat.

Hermione has a brilliant mind. She has memorized many, many spells and can reason her way through difficult situations that stump everyone else. By her fifth year, she could cast a Protean Charm -- N.E.W.T standard magic. Portable, waterproof fires are a specialty of hers. She even spent one school year taking double classes using a Time-Turner to be in two places at once, but she found this too exhausting to keep up. Hermione excelled at most subjects and often helped Neville Longbottom through difficult Potions classes. Most teachers considered her a star pupil, although Professor Snape called her a show-off.

In her fourth year at Hogwarts, she found herself the object of the affection of Viktor Krum, a famous Quidditch player from Bulgaria who was a visiting student at Hogwarts from Durmstrang Institute. She returned his affection to some extent, but had harbored a one-sided fondness for Ron Weasley since they met. Ron was oblivious for years but finally wised up.

Hermione developed a social conscience very early and would work tirelessly for those she saw as oppressed or an underdog. In her third year at Hogwarts, she bought Crookshanks from a magical creatures store because no one wanted him, and spent hours preparing a defense for Buckbeak, a falsely-accused hippogriff. During her fourth year, she became so horrified by the slavery of wizarding House-elves that she formed S.P.E.W. (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) and began enthusiastically knitting hats and socks to help free them from their servitude.

Harry and Ron owe the success of the Horcrux hunt in large part to Hermione’s planning and research. Without Hermione, there would have been no clothes, no reference books, no tent or sleeping bags, no supply of Polyjuice potion, no medicines, no extendable ears, no Cloak of Invisibility, and no background information on how to destroy a Horcrux once they found one. Harry and Ron weren't the only ones she planned for; she was so worried for her parents’ safety that she modified their memories so that they would not remember they had a daughter, and relocated them to Australia.

Ron finally earned Hermione’s first kiss during the final battle with Voldemort when he initiated a plan to evacuate the school's house-elves.

After the battle and Voldemort’s death, Hermione found her parents and reversed her memory charm. Unlike Harry, Neville and Ron, she did not join Shacklebolt's Ministry right away. Hermione went back to Hogwarts so she could finish her schooling properly, and take her N.E.W.T.s.

At some point in the intervening years, Ron and Hermione married and had two children they named Rose and Hugo. Hermione was hired by the Ministry’s Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she played an important role in improving the quality of life for house-elves and other disenfranchised creatures. Later, she worked for Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement where she worked to put an end to pro-pureblood laws that had been so entrenched in Wizarding society.

"Emma Watson"

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (born 15 April 1990) is a French-born English actress who rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series. Watson was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having acted only in school plays. From 2001 to 2007, she starred in five Harry Potter film installments alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. She will return for the final three installments: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, due to be released in 2008, and the two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Watson's work in the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million.

In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in two non-Harry Potter productions: the made-for-television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes and an animated film, The Tale of Despereaux. Ballet Shoes was broadcast on Boxing Day 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million and The Tale of Despereaux, based on the book by Kate DiCamillo, will be released in 2008.

♀Early life♀

Emma Watson was born in Paris, France, daughter of Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, English lawyers. Watson has one French grandmother, and lived in Paris until the age of five, before she moved with her mother and younger brother Alex to Oxford, England, following her parents' divorce.

From six, Watson expressed a desire to become an actress. By 10, she had starred in school plays, including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince. She had never acted professionally before the Harry Potter series. "I had no idea of the scale of the film [series]", she said in a 2007 interview with Parade magazine; "[if I had] I would have been completely overwhelmed".

♀Personal life♀

Watson's extended family has grown as her divorced parents both have children by new partners. Her father has identical twin girls, Nina and Lucy, and a four-year old son, Toby. Her mother's partner has two sons (Emma's stepbrothers), who "regularly stay with [her]". Watson's full brother, Alexander, has appeared as an extra in two Harry Potter films, and her half-sisters were cast as the young Pauline Fossil in the BBC's Ballet Shoes adaptation.

After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, Watson attended The Dragon School, a private preparatory school, until June 2003 and then moved to Headington School, an private all-girl school, also in Oxford. While on film sets, Watson and her peers were tutored for up to five hours a day; despite the focus on filming she maintained high academic standards. In June 2006, Watson took GCSE examinations in 10 subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades;[48] she was a target of friendly ridicule on the Harry Potter set because of her straight-A exam results. The following year she received four A grades in her AS levels (advanced level examinations) in English, geography, art, and history of art.

Watson's work in the Harry Potter series has brought her more than £10 million, and she has acknowledged she will never have to work for money. However, she has declined to quit school to become a full-time actress, saying "People can’t understand why I don’t want to ... but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality". She has been positive about working as a child actress, saying her parents and colleagues helped make her experience happy. Watson enjoys a close friendship with her fellow Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, describing them as a "unique support system" for the stresses of film work.

Watson lists her interests as dancing, singing, field hockey, tennis, art, fly fishing, and donates to WTT (Wild Trout Trust). She describes herself as "a bit of a feminist", and admires fellow actors Johnny Depp and Julia Roberts.
