Biography
Arthur Weasley was born 02/06/1950. Rod Weasley refers to purebred wizards. Its representatives are related to such surnames as Black, Crouch and others. From childhood, Arthur accepted the views of his family, which were indifferent to the blood status of the people they met. For this, in a magical environment they were called "traitors to the blood."
The boy entered Hogwarts in 1961. He studied at Gryffindor. There he met his lover, Molly Pruett. Eight years later, he graduated from high school and got married.
Arthur got a job at the Ministry of Magic. His position was insignificant and consisted of tracing the illegal use of Muggle inventions.
During the First Magical War, he was not connected with the Arabs, and did not join the ranks of unofficial forces, so as not to entangle his family in trouble. During the second war, the Weasley and his wife joined the Order of the Phoenix. In 1995, he was wounded by Nagaina, but survived. In 1988, he was one of the defenders of Hogwarts.

Arthur Weasley in the life of a boy with a scar
A member of the Weasley family recognized Harry through his son Ron. The boys met in a train compartment and became friends from the first days in Hogwarts.
A trusting relationship developed between Arthur and Harry. A spokesman for the Ministry of Magic was aware of Potter's mission. Perhaps that is why he did not treat the boy as a child, talking to him in an adult way.
Unlike his wife Molly, Arthur tried not to get into the affairs of the boy. At the same time, the representative of the Order of the Phoenix was always ready to help with useful advice, and sometimes gently scold. The young wizard respected Arthur, he listened to his opinion. Having married Ginny, Potter became part of the Weasley family.
Interestingly, Rowling initially wanted to kill Arthur in the fifth part, when Nagine bit him. In the end, she changed her mind, as Ron would be like Harry, who survived the loss of his parents. The author decided not to deprive Potter of the haven he found in the Weasley family. Who embodied the image of Arthur in the film version of books about wizards?
