Arthur Weasley is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. The character is the patriarch of the Weasley family and married to Molly Weasley with whom he has seven children: Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny. He is the son of Septimus and Cedrella (née Black) Weasley. Interestingly enough, this makes him a descendant of the wealthy and aristocratic House of Black, but his mother was disinherited for marrying into a family of wizards who were "blood traitors". The evidence for this is Sirius Black's comment that Arthur is his second cousin once-removed, combined with the Black family tree as drawn by Rowling. It also potentially makes him a first cousin of Bartemius Crouch Sr (who may be the son of Caspar Crouch and Cedrella's sister Charis), though given that Cedrella was stricken from the record it is unsurprising that Crouch would not acknowledge this relationship if he was even aware of it.

Career and Interests

Arthur Weasley works for the Ministry of Magic, initially in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office. In the sixth book, he has been promoted to Head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. He is obsessed with learning about Muggle customs and inventions (in particular, he is determined to discover how aeroplanes stay aloft), but so far, he appears to have had little success. He also owns a large collection of tools, batteries, fuse wires, and plugs, and is fascinated by (some may say obsessed with) "Electricity", mistakenly calling it "ecklectricity". For a long time, a number of wizards regarded Arthur with disdain owing to his obsession with Muggle culture. His department, a minor and derided subsection of the DMLE, lacked funding, and his salary was insufficient to provide for a family of nine - leaving his family finances precarious. His promotion to a more valuable and demanding job was accompanied by a pay increase. In the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series as written by J.K.
