Background

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 (meaning that he took Arithmancy at Hogwarts and must have passed, as Gringotts Curse-Breakers must have an O.W.L. at this subject).

He made his first full appearance in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where he was described as being a good-looking young man, sporting long red hair tied back in a ponytail and a single fang earring. Harry mentally noted that a guy like Bill would not be out of place at a rock concert, and was surprised to see that Bill, despite being a perfect student, prefect and Head Boy at Hogwarts, was so unlike Percy. While Mrs. Weasley wasn't high on Bill's unorthodox looks, everyone else was fine with it, especially Ginny, who looked up to her eldest brother.

When Fleur Delacour spied Bill at Hogwarts as he and Mrs. Weasley paid a visit to Harry during the Triwizard Tournament, she eyed him with "great interest." Bill returned to Britain to work with the Order of the Phoenix in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He met Fleur at Gringotts head office in London where she was employed at the time. After a year-long relationship with Fleur and a lot of private "English lessons", the couple were engaged, and the summer before Harry and Ron's sixth year, Bill brought his fiancée to get to know his family.

Bill fought bravely in the first battle in Hogwarts near the end of Half-Blood Prince, but did not escape unscathed, as he was attacked by werewolf Fenrir Greyback. However, since Greyback was in his human form at the time of the attack, Bill suffered only partial lycanthropy contamination; according to Remus Lupin, who is also a werewolf, this was not enough to cause actual transformations, though Bill had apparently developed a liking for "extremely rare" steaks and was left with a deeply scarred face. The wedding plans, however, remained unchanged; Fleur declared that she didn't mind the scars while criticizing the English for overcooking their meat in any case; this attitude gained her a lot of respect from Bill's otherwise disapproving family, especially Mrs. Weasley. In The Deathly Hallows Fleur and Bill take part in getting Harry escorted safely to The Burrow and they witnessed Mad Eye Moody get killed by Voldemort himself and they announce this to everyone else when they return to the Burrow leading everyone into shock that Mad-Eye could even be killed. The couple have their wedding at the Burrow and some guests include Luna Lovegood and her father and also Viktor Krum who was a fellow Tri-Wizard Champion along with Fleur and Harry, death eaters attack at their wedding reception and Harry, Ron and Hermione flee. The newlyweds later provided safe haven for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, Ollivander, and Griphook in Shell Cottage after they narrowly escaped Malfoy Manor.
