Background

Role in the stories

Selected as one of the champions in the Triwizard Tournament for Beauxbatons, Fleur is initially aloof and unfriendly. During the second task of the Tournament, she attempts to rescue her sister from The Black Lake, but fails. When Harry rescues Gabrielle instead, Fleur becomes much warmer towards both Harry and Hogwarts in general. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Fleur takes last place in the Triwizard Tournament, due to disguised Death Eater Barty Crouch, Jr. stunning her when she passes by the area of the maze that he is watching. She later takes a job at Gringotts, where she meets Bill Weasley (although in the fourth book, we see her eyeing Bill), to whom she becomes engaged, to the initial dismay of Mrs. Weasley and Ginny. “The Leaky Cauldron” redirects here. ...

Bill fights against a group of Death Eaters in Hogwarts near the end of Half-Blood Prince. He does not escape unscathed, as he is attacked by werewolf Fenrir Greyback. However, since Greyback is in his human form at the time of the attack, Bill suffers only partial lycanthropy contamination; according to Remus Lupin, who is also a werewolf, this is not enough to cause actual transformations, though Bill apparently develops a liking for "extremely rare" steaks and is left with a deeply scarred face. The wedding plans, however, remained unchanged; Fleur declares that she doesn't mind the scars while criticizing the English for overcooking their meat in any case; this attitude gains 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 witness Mad Eye Moody being killed by Voldemort himself. They announce this to everyone else when they return to the Burrow, leaving everyone in shock. The couple have their wedding at the Burrow, and some guests include Luna Lovegood and her father, as well as Viktor Krum, who was a fellow Tri-Wizard Champion along with Fleur and Harry. Death Eaters attack at the wedding reception, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione flee. The newlyweds later provide safe haven for the trio and for Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, Ollivander, and Griphook in Shell Cottage after the refugees narrowly escape Malfoy Manor. Both Bill and Fleur are combatants for the Order of the Phoenix during the Battle of Hogwarts, and both survive the battle. They go on to have several children, the oldest of whom, a daughter named Victoire, is seen to be involved with Teddy Lupin in the epilogue of the final book.[2] In the fictional Harry Potter series, a Death Eater is a follower of Lord Voldemort. ...
