‘He gets my vote’: Potterheads Discuss Who Is Best Member of the Weasley Family in a Magically Hilarious Wizarding World Debate

Much like a regular family, where people lie about not having a favorite child, parent, or sibling, even in fictional families, we all know each of us has a favorite. 

Since the Weasley family is so big, and filled with such iconic personalities, it is actually a lot harder to pick a favorite than it seems. Two loving parents, six sons, a daughter, and don't even get us started on all the in-laws, the Weasley family is the most chaotic and fun fictional family we know, and we would definitely want to be a part of it if we could.

This silly discussion on Reddit tried to tackle the question of which is the absolute best member of the Weasleys and why, and we were actually pretty happy to see the names of every member in the comments (minus Percy, for understandable reasons).

    I like how believable Ron is written. At first I hated the part in GoF where he doesn't talk to Harry for ages because he envies all the attention Harry gets all the time but knowing Ron's history it totally makes sense. Kinda feel bad for the guy.

    into al 'olism as a result. (Or develope some other negative behaviour.) But Arthur is such a good-natured person that he rarely gets really angry. I wish the world was full of Arthur Weasleys and less full of Malfoys and Fudges. He also has the enthusiasm and passion of a child, which many adults unfortunately lack. Edit: Big Arthur fan btw.

    sleepymelfho • 23h ago • Probably Ron. I always felt like the forgotten one even though I carried the weight of the family. I was with my mom when she forgot to mention me when someone asked what all her kids were doing with their lives atm. She was like oh sister A is in school for this, sister

    B is in school for this, sister C did this and Brother did this! And the person awkwardly looked at me and I said "oh, I'm sleepymelfho. I'm the family disappointment because I got married and had the grandchildren." My mom was livid.

    MystiqueGreen • 23h ago • When he said in book 1 'Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it's no big deal, because they did it first' I knew it since then this guy is gonna be my favorite. My heart beats for underdogs, unloved, neglected characters.

    TMorrisCode • 22h ago Book Ginny. She clearly has a large social life and friends outside of the main characters. If Harry never noticed her, or didn't come back from the war, she would have been just fine on her own. I like that about her.
