George Weasley

One half of the most mischievous duo at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this red-headed troublemaker transformed pranking from mere school antics into a profitable business empire. Born on April Fool’s Day 1978, he shared not only a birthday but an unbreakable bond with his twin brother Fred, creating chaos and laughter wherever they went. Their synchronized mayhem earned them a reputation as the unofficial kings of comedic magic during their time as Gryffindor students.

As a Beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, he channeled his competitive spirit and excellent aim into protecting his teammates from rogue Bludgers. However, his true talents lay in magical innovation and entrepreneurship. Alongside Fred, he developed an impressive arsenal of joke products, from Skiving Snackboxes to Extendable Ears, which eventually formed the foundation of their post-Hogwarts venture, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes.

The twins’ defiant departure from Hogwarts during their seventh year became the stuff of school legend, as they flew away on broomsticks after unleashing a spectacular display of magical mayhem to protest the oppressive regime of Dolores Umbridge. Their joke shop in Diagon Alley flourished, providing much-needed levity during the darkest days of the wizarding war.

Tragedy struck during the Battle of Hogwarts when Fred was killed, leaving his surviving twin to navigate life without his other half. Despite this devastating loss, he eventually found happiness again, marrying former Gryffindor Chaser Angelina Johnson and naming their son Fred in honour of his beloved brother. His magpie Patronus reflects his attraction to bright, glittering things—much like the spark of joy his pranks brought to others.
