What does it take to be adopted by the Weasleys?
ByArianna Rebolini
“I love the Weasleys because they remind me a lot of my own family. I come from a big family (I’m the oldest of five kids) and the relationships between the Weasley parents and siblings are very similar to those of my own parents and siblings. One of my favorite scenes is in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Harry is spending Christmas with the Weasleys, and everyone is gathered in the living room listening to Mrs. Weasley’s favorite singer on the radio. Mrs. Weasley is enthralled with the music, while the rest of the family is either disinterested or doing other things. Fleur Delacour, in particular, does not like the singer and keeps talking very loudly, causing Mrs. Weasley to keep turning the volume up louder and louder. This scene reminded me very much of my family together at Christmas, and I love it.” —Mary Overcash
“Would it be weird to say the Weasleys from the Harry Potter series are my favorite fictional family? They love and protect each other and stand together to defend what is right!” —Susan Berg
“They may not have much in the way of material possessions but they are rich in so many other ways — not the least of which is love!” —Cat Zachary
