- —Molly's protectiveness of her children[src]
Molly Weasley (née Prewett) (b. 30 October[1], 1949 or 1950[2]) was a pure-blood[4] witch and matriarch of the Weasley family after marrying Arthur Weasley. She was born into the Prewett family and was sister to Fabian and Gideon Prewett, members of the original Order of the Phoenix.
Molly attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. Sometime after she graduated, both her brothers were murdered by Death Eaters in the First Wizarding War. Molly and Arthur ended up having seven children, consisting of six sons named Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron and just one daughter (who's also the youngest of their children) named Ginny Weasley.
Molly played a large part in the life of Harry Potter, acting as a motherly figure towards him. She also was a member of the revived Order of the Phoenix following the return of Lord Voldemort and participated in the final battle of the Second Wizarding War. Molly's actions during this battle caused her to be known as the witch that defeated Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange.
She survived the final battle to see her family expand even further, with twelve grandchildren by 2017. Percy and his wife named their eldest daughter in honour of her.

Early life
Molly was born on 30 October[1] in 1949 or 1950[2] to Mr and Mrs Prewett. She had two brothers: Gideon and Fabian. She began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early 1960s and was sorted into Gryffindor House. It was there that she met Arthur Weasley, whom she began dating. One night, they went out for a night-time stroll and whilst Arthur got caught by Apollyon Pringle, Molly managed to get back to Gryffindor Tower at four in the morning and was told off by the Fat Lady.[9] Molly once said that in her youth she brewed a love potion.[citation needed]
First Wizarding War
- Molly: "It's all this uncertainty with You-Know-Who coming back, people think they might be dead tomorrow, so they're rushing all sorts of decisions they'd normally take time over. It was the same last time he was powerful, people eloping left, right, and centre —"
- Ginny Weasley: "Including you and Dad."
- — Molly reflecting on her marriage in 1996[src]
Molly graduated from Hogwarts in the late 1960s and she and Arthur wed soon after.[10] Their first child, Bill, was born 29 November, 1970.[1] More children followed: Charlie, Percy and twins Fred and George. She longed to have a daughter after having her first five sons, but had another son, Ron, before finally having a daughter, Ginny.[11] The large family lived at the Burrow on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon.
During the First Wizarding War, Molly was not mentioned as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and indeed Lupin confirms this, but this is likely because she was having and taking care of many young children at the time. Her brothers, however, were members of the Order, and were murdered during the war by five Death Eaters, including Antonin Dolohov, who was subsequently imprisoned in Azkaban for the crime; Molly was, given the way she speaks about Gideon and Fabian, distraught at their deaths and may have inherited their things, given that she kept Fabian's watch until 1997.
In 1987, Fred burnt a hole in Ron's tongue by feeding him an Acid Pop. Molly was outraged and walloped, or whacked him with her broomstick.
Between the wars
- "Now, behave, won't you? Won't you, Fred? And you, George?"
- —Molly telling her sons to behave[src]
By 1991, everyone from Bill to Fred and George had been accepted to Hogwarts and Sorted into Gryffindor House, and Ron's first year at Hogwarts was to begin. Molly accompanied Percy, Fred, George, and Ron to King's Cross Station; Ginny also came along, although she was too young to begin school herself. After Percy, Fred, and George got onto Platform 9¾, another young boy approached her and politely asked how to get onto the Platform. She kindly gave him instructions, and told him to go ahead before Ron.
After getting onto the platform with Ginny, she learned that the boy she had just talked to was Harry Potter. When Fred and George wondered if he remembered what Lord Voldemort looked like, Molly became stern and forbade them from asking him. When last calls for the train came, she ushered her children onto the train and called for them to have a good term. She addressed Fred and George, telling them that she didn't want to receive anymore owls that they had blown up a toilet, and George quipped that they would send her a Hogwarts lavatory seat.
Having become friends with Harry, Ron contacted Molly shortly before the Christmas holidays to tell her that Harry was not expecting any presents. Molly came to the rescue and knit him an emerald green Weasley jumper and made him a box of home-made fudge.[12] For the Christmas holidays, she, Ginny, and Arthur also went to Romania to visit their son Charlie.
When Harry and the others returned from Hogwarts for the summer, he thanked her for the jumper and fudge, to which she insisted it was no trouble. When Harry's Uncle Vernon barked at him to get moving, Molly tried to engage him in conversation, which ended up going nowhere.
Summer of 1992
One night, Molly was scared to death when she found Fred, George, and Ron's beds empty, the family car gone, and no note left behind explaining what the boys were doing. When the trio returned with Harry Potter the next morning, having flown to Surrey and back, her anger exploded and she yelled at them for what, to Harry, seemed like hours. She did not blame Harry, but threw her sons nasty looks the whole time she made breakfast. To punish them, Molly made them de-gnome the back garden. When Molly looked up the process in Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests, Fred implied that Molly had a crush on Lockhart; while Molly said the thought was ridiculous, her body language told another story —she beamed at his picture and blushed slightly.
About a week after Harry arrived at the Burrow, Molly and Arthur took the family and Harry to Diagon Alley to buy their school supplies. Before leaving, she and Arthur learned that Harry had never travelled through the Floo Network before. After Harry got lost in Knockturn Alley, Molly was relieved to find him safe with Hagrid, and was grateful to the half-giant for finding him. After getting their money from Gringotts, Molly departed with Ginny to a second-hand robe shop, to meet the others an hour later at Flourish and Blotts. After Arthur got into a fist fight with Lucius Malfoy, Molly was livid, claiming that his actions were not a good example to set for his children.
Second opening of the Chamber of Secrets
- "RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! YOUR FATHER'S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! — Oh, and Ginny dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud."
- —Molly's howler expresses anger towards Ron and pride for Ginny[src]
After dropping the children off at King's Cross Station on 1 September, Molly and Arthur were outraged when they found their car gone. That night, she received a letter from the head of Gryffindor Minerva McGonagall explaining what Harry and Ron had done. The next day, Molly sent a Howler to Ron, expressing her absolute disgust at his reckless behaviour, and the fact that Arthur was now facing an inquiry at work. In the spring of 1993, Molly and Arthur arrived at Hogwarts, worried, after learning that the Monster of Slytherin had taken Ginny into the Chamber of Secrets. When Harry and Ron brought her back safely, Molly was grateful to Harry, and was curious as to how he managed it. After Harry explained everything, Molly accompanied Ginny to the hospital wing.
Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban
- "We tried to shut him in a pyramid. But Mum spotted us."
- —Fred and George referring to their time in Egypt[src]
That summer, Arthur won the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw. He and Molly decided to spend the gold on a trip to Egypt to visit Bill. While Bill took them on tours of the pyramids, Molly refused to let Ginny come into the last one, which was full of "mutant skeletons" of Muggles who had broken in and "grown extra heads."[13] After returning about a week before the new school year, Molly learned from Arthur that Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban Prison. She also learned that his target was supposedly Harry Potter, as Sirius was muttering "he's at Hogwarts" in his sleep. She also heard from Arthur that Black intended to murder Harry.
After meeting Harry in Diagon Alley on 31 August, Molly discussed Black's connection to Harry with Arthur. Arthur wanted to tell Harry the truth about why Black was supposed to be after him, but Molly did not want to send him to school with that hanging over his head; she was convinced that since Dumbledore was stationed at Hogwarts, Harry would be perfectly safe from harm. Arthur then countered that if Black could break out of Azkaban, then he was capable of breaking in to Hogwarts. The next day, she and Arthur saw Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the others off to school. The following June, she arrived at King's Cross to pick her family up.
Reappearance of the Dark Mark
- "What have they [Fred and George] done this time? If it's got anything to do with Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes."
- —Molly's dislike of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes[src]
In August, Molly sent a letter to the Dursleys by the Muggle postman, "asking" permission to take Harry to the Quidditch World Cup (the Weasleys were planning to collect Harry whether the Dursleys said yes or not). Unsure of how much postage to include, Molly completely covered the envelope with stamps, leaving only a square inch on the front in which she managed to squeeze the Dursleys' address.[9]
When Molly entered the family's kitchen, she caught Arthur in the middle of scolding Fred and George for something. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny disappeared upstairs while Arthur was forced to tell her about the Ton-Tongue Toffee Fred and George had pulled on Harry's cousin Dudley.
After she stopped yelling at them, she began preparing dinner, during which she huffed about Fred and George's trouble-making.
On the morning of the Quidditch World Cup , Molly caught Fred and George trying to smuggle Ton-Tongue Toffees out of the house, in unusual places like the lining of George's jacket and the turn-ups of Fred's jeans. When Molly read of the Death Eaters' attack on the World Cup grounds, she became worried for her family. When the family arrived safely back home, she hugged Fred and George, crying over the thought of the fact that if they had died, the last time she spoke to them she yelled at them for not having earned more O.W.L.s.
Triwizard Tournament
- "Surprise! Thought we'd come and watch you. Harry!"
- —Molly visits Hogwarts to watch the Third Task[src]
On 1 September, Molly, Bill, and Charlie accompanied the others to King's Cross Station for the return to Hogwarts. Molly wished all of them a happy term and gave hugs goodbye. The three of them all implied that something special was happening at the school, but would not elaborate. This left the trio and others highly curious as to what it could possibly be. They did not find out until the term started what the surprise was.
When Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire as a surprise fourth champion, as told by Charlie, Molly was against letting him compete, believing that Harry was too young. And again according to Charlie, Molly was "in floods" after reading an "interview" with Rita Skeeter in which Skeeter claimed Harry still cried about his parents. Considering Molly's already fragile state, Charlie did not have the heart to tell her what Harry had to do for the First Task.
In June, Molly arrived at Hogwarts with Bill to watch Harry in the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, in place of his family. While whittling down the hours until the task started, Harry gave her and Bill a tour around the grounds, showing them the Beauxbatons carriage and the Durmstrang ship; Molly was also intrigued by the Whomping Willow, which had been planted after she left school. She also reminisced about Ogg, the gamekeeper before Hagrid.
When the trio returned to the castle for lunch, Ron was surprised to see Molly and Bill there. Fred, George, and Ginny came over to join them, and Harry enjoyed their company. When Hermione appeared at the table, having come from the library, Molly greeted her more stiffly than usual, as Rita Skeeter had been writing articles about Hermione supposedly toying with Harry and Viktor Krum's affections. After Harry explained that the stories were false and that he and Hermione had never been romantically involved, Molly warmed up to her once again.
She later defended Harry with a fierce passion against Amos Diggory's accusations of not correcting Rita Skeeter in her original article about Harry, which was supposed to be about the Triwizard Tournament. It should be noted at this point how ironic Mrs Weasley's reactions to Rita Skeeter's articles are. She believes Harry cries about his parents and that Hermione is a "scarlet woman" one moment, and then defends Harry the next from Amos Diggory's accusations along with defending her husband's actions during the World Cup against her third son's claims.
After Harry returned from Little Hangleton with Cedric Diggory's dead body, Molly, the other Weasleys, and Hermione stayed with him in the hospital wing. When Dumbledore acted to reactivate the Order of the Phoenix, Molly was shocked to learn Sirius Black was in the room; she, like most of the wizarding world, still believed Sirius to be a mass murderer. Ron was able to convince her otherwise. Molly also learned about Lord Voldemort's return, which she believed Harry about. She also comforted Harry after his horrific experience in the Little Hangleton graveyard.
Second Wizarding War
A week into the summer holidays, Molly had her heart broken when Percy broke contact with the family after a row with his father. Percy insulted his parents, believing them to be "idiots" for following Dumbledore, and moved out to a flat in London.[14] She went to London to try and talk with Percy, but he simply slammed the door in her face.
Living at 12 Grimmauld Place
- Molly: "I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! That's everyone in the family!"
- George Weasley: "What are Fred and I, next door neighbours?"
- — Conversation after Ron is made a prefect[src]
Molly and Arthur moved their family to 12 Grimmauld Place in London, the headquarters of the Order. Under Dumbledore's orders, the Weasleys kept Harry Potter in the dark about the Order's goings-on. When the Advance Guard delivered Harry to Grimmauld Place, Molly was pleased to see him, but quickly ushered him upstairs so he would not interrupt the Order's meeting. When the meeting ended, Molly brought the children downstairs for dinner. Against Molly's wishes, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin gave Harry the general picture of what the Order was doing in the fight against Voldemort, which lead to an intense row between Molly and Sirius involving Harry's welfare.
For the following weeks, Molly led the charge in making the house suitable for living in, not an easy task considering how long it had been without inhabitants or proper housekeeping.[14] When Harry had to go to the Ministry for a hearing regarding his illegal use of under-age magic, Molly was among those who worried about the result. Like the rest of the family, she was relieved when Harry was cleared of all charges, although she did scold Fred, George, and Ginny for parading around chanting "He got off."
When Ron was made a Gryffindor prefect, Molly was overjoyed and offered to get Ron a reward. Ron asked for a new broom, but upon seeing his mother's face fall, quickly added that it did not need to be a good broom; just a new one. Molly returned later that night with the children's school supplies, and prepared a party to celebrate Ron and Hermione's appointments. When "Mad-Eye" Moody arrived, Molly asked him to look at what was in the writing desk in the drawing room. Using his "mad" eye, Moody confirmed it was a Boggart and offered to get rid of it, but Molly declined, commenting she would do it after dinner. After Harry witnessed her inability to vanquish it Molly tearfully expressed her concern over her family's safety. Lupin comforted her, explaining that the Order had a better understanding of Voldemort than they did the first time, and that while he could not promise no one would get hurt, the Order would do their best to protect her family and Harry from the upcoming danger.
On the morning of 1 September, Fred and George again got on Molly's nerves when they bewitched their trunks to zoom down the stairs, to save the trouble of carrying them. The trunks managed to knock Ginny down two flights of stairs, and Molly screamed at the pair that they could have seriously injured her. When Sirius came bounding downstairs in his dog form, to see Harry off, Molly reiterated that it was a bad idea, but felt that it was up to him if he wanted to risk his safety.
When Molly got wind of the secret group Harry, Ron, and Hermione were planning to form to teach practical defensive magic, she was firmly against the idea; she believed that they would all have time to learn to defend themselves after they left school. She asked Sirius to pass on a message to Ron, which was that he was in no way to continue the group. She also wanted the message passed on to Harry and Hermione; while accepting that she had no control over the pair's actions, she had their best interests at heart.
St Mungo's Hospital
- "I don't know what would have happened if it hadn't been for you, Harry... They might not have found Arthur for hours, and then it would have been too late, but thanks to you he's alive and Dumbledore's been able to think up a good cover story for Arthur being where he was, you've no idea what trouble he would have been in otherwise, look at poor Sturgis..."
- —Molly thanking Harry for saving Arthur's life[src]
During the Christmas holiday, Molly was contacted by Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes to warn her that Arthur had been attacked by Nagini during guard duty for the Order. While the Weasley children, staying with Sirius in Grimmauld Place, wanted to set off for St Mungo's at once, Sirius had to convince them they could not until Molly had been notified; it would look too suspicious otherwise. This caused issues with Fred and George whom wanted to see their father immediately. Before setting off for St Mungo's Molly sent a note to Grimmauld Place. This note stated that Arthur was still alive and warned them to stay put. At 5:10 a.m.[14] Molly arrived at Grimmauld Place to tell them Arthur would be all right and that they could all visit him later; George and Ginny were so relieved, they got up and hugged her. When Sirius began making breakfast, Molly hugged Harry and expressed her gratitude that if not for him Arthur might have died. She proceeded to tell to go and relax and that she would take over breakfast.
When the Weasleys and Harry visited Arthur in St Mungo's, Molly became alarmed when Arthur mentioned one of his room-mates was a werewolf; Arthur calmed her by pointing out the full moon was not for another fortnight. When Fred and George tried to get information from Arthur about what he had been doing, Molly got angry and told them that the topic was not up for discussion. She also fretted over Harry's supposed illness when he was acting strangely after their visit. Harry was in fact, concerned and scared for the well being of others because he thought he might have been possessed by Lord Voldemort, but she did not know this.
On Christmas Day, Molly's concern about Percy reached a breaking point when he returned his Christmas jumper unopened. Fred and George "attempted" to console her, but soon afterwards Lupin took over.
When the family and Harry returned to visit Arthur again, Molly exploded after learning that for his wound, Arthur had tried using stitches, a Muggle remedy for similar Muggle wounds.
Start of open warfare
- "I don't know whether Ron's told you in any of his letters ? It's only just happened? But Arthur's been promoted!"
- —Molly telling Harry Potter about Arthur's promotion[src]
In June, Molly and Arthur arrived at King's Cross Station to pick their children up. Molly and Arthur also made plans with Dumbledore to take Harry to theBurrow two weeks into the summer holidays, so he would not have to spend the whole summer with the Dursleys. As they probably guessed that Harry after the death of his godfather did not want him to spend his entire summer holidays grieving at Privet Drive alone, with only his negative thoughts and unpleasant relatives for company.
When Harry arrived in July Molly revealed that Arthur had been promoted to head a new department for Rufus Scrimgeour. From the tone of her voice, Harry deduced she had been "bursting" to tell someone. She made him a bowl of onion soup and remarked on how much he had grown since she saw him last, stating that it looked as though he had a Stretching Jinx placed upon him. The two also discussed Horace Slughorn and his return to Hogwarts. When Arthur arrived home from work, he made her ask him their security questions before allowing himself in, as to set an example and in the process revealed that Arthur's private nickname for her was "Mollywobbles."
The next morning Molly expressed her disdain at Bill's engagement to Fleur Delacour, whom was staying at the house. Molly had a very low opinion of her and thought that she was snobbish and rude. She also felt that the engagement was rushed and believed it was due to the fear brought on by Voldemort's return to power. Bill had brought Fleur to the Burrow so she could get to know his family better before the wedding. According to Ginny, Molly kept trying to break up the engagement by inviting Nymphadora Tonks to dinner, hoping that Bill would fall for her instead. Molly also disliked being alone with Fleur and did not enjoy talking to her at all.
When Hermione got a black eye from one of Fred and George's punching telescopes, she went to Molly to try and get rid of it, to no avail; even with The Healer's Helpmate, Molly was unable to remove the bruise. When Ron's O.W.L. results arrived, Molly was pleased to learn he had earned seven "pass" grades, commenting that it was more than Fred and George both earned, put together. When the school book lists arrived, Molly refused to go to Diagon Alley without Arthur; when Ron made a joke about Voldemort possibly hiding in Flourish and Blotts, Molly threatened not only to leave him behind and get his things herself, but hold him back from returning to Hogwarts, as well; Ron quickly recanted, wanting to see Fred and George's shop.
When the family and Hagrid arrived in Diagon Alley, Molly expressed her concern to stay together, while at the same time battling the desire to finish the shopping quickly. Hagrid assured her that Harry, Ron, and Hermione would be fine with him, so she, Arthur, and Ginny headed off towards Flourish and Blotts. When the group reunited, they headed off towards Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Approaching the store, Molly stared in horror at the advertisement for "U-No-Poo," an item they sell to cause constipation. Once inside the store, Ginny asked Molly if she could buy a Pygmy Puff. At one point, she also caught Ron in the middle of making an extremely rude hand gesture at Fred and immediately threatened to jinx his fingers together if she saw him do it again.
On 1 September, Molly and Arthur ushered the children onto the train back to Hogwarts.
1996 Christmas holidays
- Molly: "Promise me you'll look after yourself... Stay out of trouble...."
- Harry Potter: "I always do, Mrs Weasley. I like the quiet life, you know me."
- — Molly sending her children and Harry off to Hogwarts after Christmas holiday[src]
During the Christmas holidays Molly had her hands full, as she entertained many quests that Christmas, some including Harry, Fleur, and Remus Lupin. Molly masked Percy's continued defection from the family by saying he was busy at the Ministry. When Rufus Scrimgeour brought Percy over in an excuse to speak to Harry, the others present tensed at the mention of Scrimgeour wanting to get Harry alone. Molly paid no regard to this, her main focus was Percy. She was overjoyed, crying tears of happiness and hugging her son.
However, Percy had no intention of speaking with his family, and Molly was more devastated than ever when Percy stormed out after having mashed parsnips flung at his glasses by Fred, George, and Ginny. She continued to be upset well past Christmas, teary eyed and sobbing when she saw her children and Harry off to Hogwarts via the Floo. She bid them farewell and had them promise to try and be careful, in slightly higher spirits by the end of the goodbyes.
In March, Molly and Arthur were called to the school when Ron accidentally drank some poisoned mead. Harry saved his life by the use of a bezoar, a small stonelike object that acts as an antidote to most poisons. When the pair arrived in the hospital wing she hugged Harry very tightly, pointing out how many of the family members he had saved. She was also very happy that Ron was no longer in danger and would make a full recovery.
Aftermath of the Battle of the Astronomy Tower
- Fleur Delacour: "You thought I would not weesh to marry him? Or per'aps, you hoped? What do I care how he looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave!"
- Molly: "Our Great-Auntie Muriel, has a very beautiful tiara — goblin —made — which I am sure I could persuade her to lend you for the wedding. She is very fond of Bill, you know, and it would look lovely with your hair."
- — Molly finally accepting Bill and Fleur's upcoming marriage[src]
Molly and Arthur returned to Hogwarts again in June after learning Bill had been injured in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. While Arthur was interested in how Dumbledore had died, Molly only had her eyes on Bill. Molly commented that Bill had always been handsome, and that he was "going" to be married. Fleur took offence to this, and shouted that she did not care what Bill looked like, and that her love for him ran deeper than physical appearance. Accepting that the pair truly did love each other, Molly offered Fleur her great-aunt Muriel's goblin-made tiara to wear at the wedding. In June, Molly and Arthur attended Dumbledore's funeral along with Bill and Fleur. They were deeply saddened because of the tragic death of the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
At some point, Molly learned that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were planning to drop out of Hogwarts. When she approached them about why, they refused to divulge any information. While Arthur and Remus Lupin also approached the issue, and dropped it when they were told it was a secret, Molly was determined to learn the truth.
Battle of the Seven Potters
- "Harry? You are the real Harry? What happened? Where are the others?"
- —Molly asking Harry Potter about the whereabouts of the others[src]
When Harry Potter and Hagrid arrived at the Burrow after the Battle of the Seven Potters, Molly was relieved they managed to arrive safely. She hurried from the inside of the Burrow and proceeded to pull Harry into a hug that he felt he did not deserve. She was worried because a lot of the others had missed their portkeys. Harry and Hagrid were the first to arrive, even thought they were suppose to arrive third. Hagrid then asked if she had any brandy, for "medicinal purposes", as he was in pain from the battle. Instead of summoning it by magic, she went into the house to collect it herself. Harry knew that this was because she wanted to hide her worry and the blotchiness of her face.
A few moments later, Ginny alerted Molly to the arrival of Lupin and George. With something obviously wrong with her son, Molly soon learned that he was missing his left ear. Molly managed to staunch the bleeding, but was unable to repair the damage; she was simply relieved that he was alive. When Arthur and Fred returned safe, Molly cried harder than ever when George turned the injury into a punch line. George then commented that at least from then on, Molly would be able to differentiate the pair.
A few minutes later, Ron and Bill both returned safely. Hugging his mother, Bill told the group that "Mad-Eye" Moody had been killed.
Wedding of Bill and Fleur and aftermath
- Molly: "Ron and Hermione seem to think that the three of you are dropping out of Hogwarts."
- Harry Potter: "Oh, well yeah. We are."
- Molly: "And may I ask why you are abandoning your education?"
- — Molly questioning Harry on the trio's reasons for dropping out of school[src]
Within a few days, Molly approached Harry, under the pretence of determining the owner of a man's sock, about why he, Ron, and Hermione were planning to leave Hogwarts. Harry refused to say explicitly, but dropped snippets that it was because something Dumbledore wanted him to do. Molly argued that she and Arthur deserved to know, and was sure Mr. and Mrs Granger would agree. She continued that if Dumbledore wanted something done, he had the whole Order at his command, and the three of them were hardly of age; Harry countered that there had been no misunderstanding: the mission Dumbledore left for him was for him alone, and Ron and Hermione were coming along by choice.
Seeing she was fighting a losing battle, she the changed the subject by asking if he would help prepare the house for Bill and Fleur's wedding. He agreed, but Molly made sure to give the trio jobs that kept them away from each other; as Ginny commented to Harry, she believed that if Molly could prevent them from getting together and planning, she could delay their departure.
When the Delacours arrived the following morning, Molly was somewhat flustered, but pleased to have them there. She and Arthur fervently insisted that Monsieur and Madame Delacour take their bedroom, while she and Arthur slept in the sitting room. The following day, Harry's birthday, Molly gave him a watch that had belonged to her brother Fabian Prewett. In the middle of explaining the watch-giving tradition, Molly's speech was interrupted by a hug from Harry with which he hoped to convey his deep feelings of gratitude and care, which worked; Molly was taken-aback, but very touched.
When Charlie arrived that evening, Molly forced him into a chair at wandpoint and gave him a haircut. Molly then made a scrumptious dinner and made Harry's birthday cake into the shape of a Golden Snitch. Just before the cutting of the cake, Molly learned that Rufus Scrimgeour was accompanying Arthur home. After the pair arrived, Scrimgeour revealed the reason for his visit: he required a private word with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
The next day was Bill's wedding to Fleur. Molly was once again in tears as Percy did not show up. During the ceremony, Molly sat with Apolline Delacour, and the pair cried into their tissues. At the reception that followed, Molly danced with Monsieur Delacour. Soon afterwards, Molly learned with everyone else that the Ministry of Magic had fallen to the Death Eaters' control, and that Scrimgeour was dead, shortly before the reception was ransacked by arriving Death Eaters. After the Death Eaters left, Molly and Arthur sent word to Harry, Ron, and Hermione that the rest of the family was safe.
In March, the Death Eaters identified Ron as travelling with Harry Potter. Molly's eldest son Bill was able to get word to his family, and Molly and the rest of the Weasley family vacated the Burrow. They lived with Molly's Aunt Muriel during this time.
Battle of Hogwarts
- Bellatrix Lestrange: "What will happen to your children when I've killed you? When Mummy's gone the same way as Freddie?"
- Molly: "You — will — never — touch — our — children — again!"
- — A fierce duel between Molly and Bellatrix[src]
On 2 May, 1998 Molly and Arthur arrived at the school to take part in the Battle of Hogwarts. As the combination of the Order and Dumbledore's Army left to gather in the Great Hall, Molly was adamant about Ginny going home; since she was under-age, Molly refused to let her stay. Ginny insisted she should be there; in addition to the rest of her family being there, she was a member of Dumbledore's Army.
During this argument, Percy entered the room, having learned of the pending battle from Aberforth Dumbledore. Percy made peace with his family, much to Molly's relief. When the family left to join the others, Molly caught Ginny trying to sneak out with them. Lupin then proposed that Ginny could stay in the Room of Requirement; that way she could remain close to her family while simultaneously being out of harm's way.
During a break in the battle, as ordered by Voldemort, Molly grieved Fred's death in the Great Hall. She laid across his chest and wept, while Arthur stroked her hair.
When the battle resumed, Molly witnessed Bellatrix Lestrange fire a Killing Curse at Ginny, missing her by an inch. Distraught at the prospect of losing yet another child, as well as her only daughter, an enraged Molly angrily charged right at the Death Eater, verbally challenged her and then proceeded to engage in a fierce duel. Bellatrix laughed at Molly, not taking her seriously. But with her powerful love for her children and family, Molly Weasley cast a wide variety of non-verbal spells at the Dark witch who nearly murdered her only daughter. Moments later, Molly struck a deadly blow, killing Bellatrix once and for all.
The death of his "last, best lieutenant" made Voldemort turn his wand on Molly, but Harry shielded her and revealed himself to be alive. Molly then watched (with everyone else) the interaction between Harry and Voldemort, which ended with Voldemort's final defeat and the end of the Second Wizarding War. Molly joined the other Weasleys in congratulating Harry. She was last seen sitting with Ginny (who had her head on her mother's shoulder) and other family members at a table in the Great Hall.
Later life
In the years following Voldemort's death, Molly's family grew with the marriages of her children and births of numerous grandchildren. Molly also served as the namesake of Percy's oldest daughter.
Physical description
Molly was frequently described as a short, plump, and kindly-looking woman. Harry was shocked to see that she could so easily look "like a sabre-tooth tiger" when she was angry with her sons. She was also described as "porky," by Draco Malfoy[9] and "dumpy" by Vernon Dursley, despite the fact that he and his son were much larger than the slightly plump Molly.[9]
Between June and August of 1995 she lost a good deal of weight and appeared paler, though she seemed to get a healthier look back by the next year. Like the rest of her immediate family Molly had flaming fiery red hair and her eyes were the same shade of warm brown as her daughter, Ginny's.
Personality and traits
- Hermione Granger: "If you don't stop, I'm going to —"
- Fred Weasley: "Put us in detention?"
- George Weasley: "Make us write lines?"
- Hermione Granger: "No, but I will write to your mother."
- Fred Weasley: "You wouldn't."
- — Hermione makes the one threat that can scare Fred and George[src]
Molly is a kind, gentle (when not punishing her children), loving, and very motherly woman. Being in the same room with her was very reassuring. It was comfortable to be around such a friendly warm person.
Molly could have even her twin sons cowering before her if she was angry enough. She was fiercely proud of her children's accomplishments, but scandalised by misbehaviour, and was not above sending a Howler to the school to humiliate one of them publicly for stepping out of line, evidenced by her reaction to the use of the unauthorised Flying Ford Anglia by Ron to reach Hogwarts at the start of the school year in 1992. Fred and George's antics, in particular, were a source of perpetual frustration for her. She sometimes found it difficult to cope with her children heading out in their own, separate directions. Not surprisingly, she initially considered Fleur Delacour completely wrong for Bill when they become engaged in 1996. Ironically, however, it was high achiever, Percy, who caused her the most pain when he broke with the family in 1995 over their unwavering allegiance to Albus Dumbledore.
For Harry Potter, Molly became his closest mother figure. Molly was appalled at the mistreatment that Harry suffered at the Dursleys, and was delighted to have Harry stay with the Weasleys at The Burrow, where she could offer food, advice, and general mothering. Starved for affection from his own Aunt Petunia, Harry found warmth from Molly. However, Harry occasionally found her over-protectiveness somewhat smothering.
Molly along with eldest son Bill came to watch Harry in the Triwizard Tournament then after Harry's ordeal in the graveyard visit him with others in the hospital wing at Hogwarts where Molly hugs him 'how Harry imagined a mother would'. In 1995, when Harry asked about what the Order of the Phoenix was doing in their efforts against Voldemort, Molly continually insisted that Harry should not be told more than he needed to know, while his godfather, Sirius Black, believed that Harry had dealt with more than the Order could imagine and thus deserved to have the whole picture. While Harry was touched that Molly considered him like a son, he also felt Sirius was right in that he was not a small child, and should be treated as a maturing adult.
Magical abilities and skills
- Love: Molly was a very loving person and the epitome of a good mother. She loved all her children dearly and often came to regard close friends as family too. For example, she grew so fond of Harry Potter that her Boggart changed accordingly to include his dead body along with her family. Motivated by her love for her family, Molly bravely took on Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange and killed her.
- Charms: The true extent of Molly's skills in Charms is not known, but she still appeared to be talented in this department. Before the Battle of Hogwarts, she was one of the individuals who cast the many powerful protective enchantments — such as Protego Maxima — over the school. She was also well skilled in food-related charms, to the point where her son Ron was under the impression she could create good food from nothing. However, it is still clear that she is talented in using magic to make the food she cooks even tastier, as Harry considers her the best cook he knows.[15]
- Healing magic: Molly was a competent healer, as shown by how she was able to treat George's injuries after the Battle of the Seven Potters, despite his having lost a lot of blood. However, she was unable to regrow his lost ear, as it was an injury caused by Dark Magic.[16]
- Duelling: Molly was shown to be a surprisingly skilful duellist, especially when her family was threatened. In 1998, she single-handedly killed Bellatrix Lestrange, the most powerful and dangerous of Voldemort's followers, after Bellatrix nearly killed her daughter.[17]
- Dark Magic: Molly was normally a good-natured woman and was not actively a practitioner of the Dark Arts. It was revealed that she was actually capable of casting spells with lethal effect. During her duel against Bellatrix, she confidently and effectively cast a wide variety of spells and ultimately killed her opponent with a curse that struck her over her heart. Molly had also confidently threatened to either jinx or hex Ron, Fred, and George on numerous occasions. The fact that none of them seemed to cross her when she issues this threat could also be a testament of sorts to her talent in this department.
- Nonverbal magic: During the Battle of Hogwarts, when Molly duelled against Bellatrix, she cast spells without saying them verbally. Since non-verbal magic is very difficult, this testifies that Molly was actually a powerful witch in her own right, being able to be an effective practitioner of non-verbal spells.
- Potions: Molly had effectively brewed a love potion in her youth, a N.E.W.T.-level potion.[18]
- Apparition: Molly had the ability to apparate at will.
- Wand: Molly owned a wand of unknown materials.
- Kitchen clock: Her family owned a clock which didn't tell the time but showed options like time to make tea, feed the chickens etc.
- Family clock: This clock showed where every member of her family was.
- Winky Crockett's Elbow Grease: A cleaning product
- Watch: After her brother Fabian's death, she kept his old watch, which she gave to her future son-in-law Harry Potter on 31 July 1997 as a traditional coming of age present.
- One Minute Feasts - It's Magic!: The Burrow contains a copy of this book, most likely used by Mrs Weasley to aid in her cooking.
- Charm Your Own Cheese: The Burrow contains a copy of this book, most likely used by Mrs Weasley to aid in her cooking.
- Enchantment in Baking: The Burrow contains a copy of this book, most likely used by Mrs Weasley to aid in her cooking.
Prewett family
Molly was born into the Prewett family. Her relationship with her mother and father is unknown, but it's possible that, like the Weasleys, the Prewetts did not buy into values of pure-blood supremacy held by so many other wizarding pure blood families. Her brothers, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, were both members of the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War, and were brutally killed by five Death Eaters. It's likely that Molly was close to her brothers, as she kept Fabian's watch until she gave it to Harry Potter for his seventeenth birthday, and their deaths influenced her later protectiveness of her family during the Second Wizarding War. Molly also had an uncle, Ignatius Prewett, whose name became her son Percy's middle name, and aunt by marriage Lucretia Prewett (née Black). Her irritable great-aunt Muriel was still alive in the 1990s and associated with her family.
Weasley family
Molly pampered her children with all she could afford to, making up for the lack of funds for new books, brooms and robes by showering her loved ones with affection and providing them with abundant, delicious home-cooking. However, Molly had no issues with speaking her mind and enforcing discipline when her children put "a toe out of line"; indeed, the only thing Hermione Granger could do to stop Fred and George testing their Skiving Snackboxes on first years prior to their departure from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was threaten to write to Molly, a threat which really scared them.
Molly also had a strong desire for her children to work at the Ministry of Magic like their father, causing her to scold Fred and George on numerous occasions for their dream of managing a joke shop. In the end, however, Molly clearly wanted her children to be happy in their work, and was impressed when Fred and George proved to be skilled businessmen.[10]
Though she was regularly exasperated with her husband Arthur's quirky fascination with Muggle artefacts, and his seeming inability to act as a firm disciplinarian when it came to many of their sons' shenanigans, she clearly loved him dearly, and was fiercely proud of all he had accomplished in his career.[10]
When Percy turned his back on his family in favour of pursuing his career at the Ministry, Molly was heartbroken, and tried to bring him back several times, but to no avail. She would cry over his departure from time to time, and continued to send him things like Christmas jumpers, which he would coldly return without a note. Despite his aloof departure, Molly remained affectionate for her third son, using his good behaviour as reference when scolding the twins for overusing their magic for the simplest matter, and masking his defection by stating he is too busy at the Ministry to return home for Christmas.
Molly loved all of her children, but she was especially fond of her youngest and only daughter, Ginny. When she saw Ginny almost murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange, the mere possibility of losing her only daughter was enough to motivate her to openly challenge the most dangerous Dark witch of the age.
Mrs Weasley's love for her family was also apparent in the form her boggart took: Molly's greatest fear was her family (including Harry), dead.
After the Second Wizarding War, Molly's family expanded even further, as she had many grandchildren through her sons and Ginny; Victoire, Dominique and Louis, Bill and Fleur's children; Molly (who was named after her) and Lucy, Percy and Audrey's daughters; Roxanne and Fred, George and Angelina Johnson's children; Rose and Hugo, Ron and Hermione's children; James, Albus and Lily, Ginny and Harry's children. It was likely that Molly was close to all of them.
Harry Potter
- Sirius Black: "He's not your son!"
- Molly: "He's as good as! Who else has he got?"
- — Argument over Harry's wellbeing[src]
Molly first met Harry while taking her sons to the Hogwarts Express. She took sympathy on him for being alone, as he seemed to be a sweet and polite boy. Upon being told by Fred and George who he was, Molly was adamant that her children not pester Harry about his past. Stating that he will probably get enough attention and not to add anymore to it.
After getting to know more about Harry through Ron, Molly began treating him as another member of the family, whether it be by letting him stay at the Burrow for holidays, or fussing over the state of his health and making sure he had fourth helpings during meals, although she tended to avoid the subject of the Dursleys when Harry brought them up even briefly. Mrs Weasley also sent Harry a Weasley jumper and a large box of fudge or mince pies at Christmas, even after the two of them had only spoken briefly at King's Cross during Harry's first year, simply because Ron had mentioned that Harry was not expecting any presents.
Molly would occasionally forget she was not Harry's mother, and tended to be as protective of him as if he was one of her own children. She was deeply affected when Harry was forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. She was affected to the point that her attitude towards Hermione temporarily became almost hostile, because she assumed that Rita Skeeter's claims that Hermione was toying with Harry's emotions was genuine, until Harry assured her otherwise. Molly pushed particularly hard for Harry not to be "burdened" with the knowledge of certain aspects of the Order of the Phoenix's business involving Voldemort, which caused her to come into conflict with Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, and even her own husband. She showed her over-protective nature again upon discovering that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were not intending to return to Hogwarts during their final year, demanding to be informed of their intentions, and even doing everything in her power to prevent them having any opportunity to discuss their plans in secret.
The form of Molly's boggart, which reflected her greatest fear of seeing her family dead by appearing as their dead bodies, included Harry's own corpse. In return Harry saw her as the mother he never had, because she gave him the love and protection he needed and wanted. After Molly killed Bellatrix, Voldemort was about to attack her, prompting Harry to make his continued existence public rather than his previous attempt to attack from under his Invisibility Cloak.
Sometime after the Second Wizarding War Harry married Ginny Weasley, becoming Molly's son-in-law, and officially joining the Weasley family. Harry is also the father of three of Molly's grandchildren: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna Potter.
Hermione Granger
Because of her friendships with Ron and Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger became friendly with the entire Weasley family. She spent a portion of many of her summer holidays at their home of the Burrow, and attended some family outings with them, such as shopping for school supplies in Diagon Alley and the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. Molly was generally fond of Hermione, though she treated her coldly for a brief time after Rita Skeeter printed lies about Hermione toying with the hearts of Harry Potter and Viktor Krum, much to Hermione's bewilderment and dejection. After Harry explained that the stories were false, Molly once again warmed up to Hermione.
Hermione later became one of Molly's four daughters-in-law when she married Ron sometime after the Second Wizarding War. Hermione is also the mother of two of Molly's grandchildren: Rose and Hugo Granger-Weasley.
Fleur Delacour
- Molly: "Yes, well, your father and I were made for each other, what was the point in waiting? Whereas Bill and Fleur... well... what have they really got in common? He's a hard-working down-to-earth sort of person, whereas she's —"
- Ginny Weasley: "A cow. But Bill's not that down-to-earth... he likes a bit of adventure, a bit of glamour... I expect that's why he's gone for Phlegm."
- — Discussion of Bill's and Fleur's relationship[src]
The Weasleys' reaction to Fleur, with the exceptions of Ron and Arthur, was initially lukewarm. They became more annoyed with Fleur when she and Bill became engaged, but tolerated her presence for his sake. Molly in particular did not like Fleur. She was irked by Fleur's criticism of her household and even her favourite singer, Celestina Warbeck.
However, when Fleur indignantly denied that Bill's disfigurement at the hands of Fenrir Greyback would affect their marital plans in any way, the Weasleys saw how deeply Fleur loved Bill, and became more accepting of her. Molly convinced her aunt Muriel to lend Fleur her tiara for the wedding. Fleur was noted as fussing over and being protective of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger in a motherly fashion, similar to Molly.
After the Second Wizarding War, Molly had three grandchildren through Fleur.
Nymphadora Tonks
- "Thanks for the tea and sympathy, Molly."
- —Tonks after confiding in Molly[src]
Molly had a rather close relationship with Auror and fellow Order member, Nymphadora Tonks. Molly often invited Tonks to dine with the Weasley family, and the young witch was always a welcome guest at the events held by the Weasley matriarch. Molly would at times get annoyed at Tonks due to her clumsiness, but never out of dislike for her. Rather it was mostly due to the fact that Tonks' attempts at helping resulting in her causing minor annoyances (such as setting off the Portrait of Walburga Black at 12 Grimmauld Place). During these times, Molly would attempt to dissuade Tonks from helping, so as to avoid such accidents.
Though there was a significant difference in age between the two, Mrs Weasley appeared to be Tonks's closest adult friend; Molly appeared to be the only person in whom Tonks confided her love of Remus Lupin. Several people suspected that Molly hoped her son Bill Weasley would fall in love with Tonks, rather than marry Fleur Delacour, and Harry Potter noted Molly was acting somewhat frosty toward Lupin during the 1996 Christmas holidays, though he misinterpreted the reason why. Molly reacted heatedly to disparaging remarks made by Fleur in regards to Tonks, which is indicative of the high opinion she held for the young Auror. At the conclusion of the Battle of Hogwarts, it was Molly who duelled and killed Tonks' murderer Bellatrix Lestrange, therefore avenging Tonks' death.
Order of the Phoenix members
Molly considered Albus Dumbledore to be the greatest wizard of all time. During the Second Wizarding War, Molly was technically the first new recruit of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation both founded and led by Dumbledore, having been asked to help battle against Voldemort almost immediately after his return was discovered. Molly was devastated, along with most of the wizarding world, by Dumbledore's death, and attended his funeral in 1997.
Molly initially believed Sirius Black (her "cousin by marriage", as his aunt Lucretia married her uncle Ignatius) was a murderer, who had betrayed James and Lily Potter to Lord Voldemort in 1981, and did not learn of his innocence until 1995. While both Sirius and Molly lived at 12 Grimmauld Place, they argued over the latter's tendency to be overprotective of Sirius's godson, Harry Potter, with Sirius reminding her she was not Harry's mother. For her part, Molly considered Sirius to be too reckless and reminded him that Harry was not his father James. Nonetheless, they got along well for the most part, and Sirius was thrilled at having the Weasley family and Harry Potter stay at Grimmauld place over the 1995 winter holidays. Molly was greatly saddened by Sirius's death in 1996, and was ultimately the one to kill Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius's cousin and murderer.
Remus Lupin was close with the Weasley family, and in joining the re-instated Order, saw Molly on a fairly regular basis. Lupin helped Molly get rid of a boggart that took the form of her family and Harry Potter, dead; she confessed to Lupin that she was afraid of what would happen to her children. Lupin comforted her, saying that he and the other members of the Order would take care of her family. After Dumbledore's death, Molly expressed her opinion that Lupin and Tonks should be together, as they loved each other, despite Lupin's protests that he was too old, too poor, and too dangerous for Tonks. During the Battle of the Seven Potters, Lupin saved George's life from Death Eaters, for which Molly was incredibly grateful. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Lupin was killed, and Molly was seen grieving near his and Tonks's bodies.
Molly was also friendly with Minerva McGonagall, the former Transfiguration professor and Head of Gryffindor House (the house into which all the members of the Weasley family had been sorted) of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. McGonagall and Molly discussed Dumbledore's death in 1997, and McGonagall would have been Headmistress while several of Molly's grandchildren attended the school.
The Weasley family were all fond of Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper and later Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He fought alongside Molly at the Battle of Hogwarts and they both survived the war. He appeared to be friendly with Molly's grandchildren, inviting Albus to his house for tea.
Molly also seemed to be on good terms with Severus Snape, despite the fact that he disliked her children. However, when she learned that Snape killed Dumbledore, she and her family obviously turned against him but that was most likely retracted when she learned of Snape's true loyalties from Harry. In addition, Harry and Ginny would later name one of Molly's grandsons after Snape. It is unknown how she reacted to Albus' naming.
Molly also worked fairly closely with the late Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt. Molly was on good terms with both, and was shocked by Moody's death in 1997. Kingsley was responsible for saving countless lives when he sent his Patronus to warn the attendees of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding that the Ministry had fallen in 1997, and later became Minister for Magic, employing a number of the members of Molly's family.
Molly is a diminutive form of Mary, the English form of the Hebrew Miryam, the meaning of which is unknown, though theories include "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", "wished for child", and "beloved". In the case of Molly Weasley, however, the name is most likely derived from the term "mollycoddle," meaning to "to pamper or overprotect."
The surname Prewett is Welsh in origin. It is derived from the Middle English word prou, meaning "brave" or "valiant", and the suffix "-et", which implies smallness. Thus, it is believed to be derived from a nickname for someone small, but brave.
Weasley is derived from the weasel, an animal J. K. Rowling is fond of. The term is especially appropriate for Molly, as a mother weasel is particularly protective of her young to the point that she will willingly take on animals several times bigger than her in defence of her offspring.
Behind the scenes
- Molly is portrayed by British actress Julie Walters in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Part 2.
- In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Remus Lupin mentions that Molly was not in the Order of the Phoenix during Voldemort's first rise to power. This is possibly because Molly had just given birth to her first child, Bill in 1970, and that Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, and Ron were all born during that time, as well.
- Contrary to rumours among fans that Neville Longbottom would be the one to do it, J. K. Rowling stated in an interview that she had always intended that Molly would be the one to kill Bellatrix Lestrange, for two main reasons: firstly, so that Molly could "have her moment" and show that simply because she had dedicated herself to her family did not mean that she was not a powerful witch, and secondly, to show the clash of Molly's "maternal love" against Bellatrix's "obsessive love"[19].

Ask a Physicist Answers
How do astronauts weigh themselves while they are in space? - LE
Contrary to popular belief, astronauts still have weight while they are orbiting the earth. In fact, Shuttle astronauts weigh almost as much in space as they do on the earth's surface. But these astronauts are in free fall, together with their ship, and their downward accelerations prevents them from measuring their weights directly.
Instead, astronauts make a different type of measurement—one that accurately determines how much of them there is: they measure their masses. Your weight is the force that the earth's gravity exerts on you; your mass is the measure of your inertia, how hard it is to make you accelerate. For deep and interesting reasons, weight and mass are proportional to one another at a given location, so measuring one quantity allows you to determine the other. Instead of weighing themselves, astronauts measure their masses.
They make these mass measurements with the help of a shaking device. They strap themselves onto a machine that gently jiggles them back and forth to see how much inertia they have. By measuring how much force it takes to cause a particular acceleration, the machine is able to compute the mass of its occupant.Answered by Lou A. Bloomfield of the University of Virginia

In the U.S., Heinz Baked Beans are generally known as a retro food item and/or Mad Men plot device. But in the U.K., where they're sold as "Heinz Beanz," they're still a popular pantry staple and childhood favorite (preferably served on a piece of toast).
The brand trades on that reputation as a beloved kids' meal in this endearing new TV spot, "Little Brother," from AMV BBDO and Blink director Benito Montorio. The ad is narrated by a boy named Tom, who has a hard time dealing with his mischievous younger brother, Charlie. (Not that Charlie.) As illustrated by a series of playful vignettes, Charlie's many shortcomings include playing hide-and-seek, bike riding and goalkeeping. (Apparently he couldn't catch a cold, let alone a soccer ball.) But despite all that, Tom considers the exasperating Charlie his very best friend—a love which he demonstrates by sharing his Heinz beans with him in hopes of "growing him up a bit."
The "brotherly love" idea could have gotten a bit treacly, but the spot avoids any overt sentimentality by lending a deadpan seriousness to Tom's role as weary mentor, and by framing the entire spot from the brothers' perspective rather than that of a doting parent. Still, that doesn't mean the end result isn't completely charming; it's pretty hard not to crack a smile at Tom and Charlie's story, whether your childhood memories involved Heinz Beanz on toast or Heinz ketchup on a burger.

MILWAUKEE — Kids may be worried about homework, teachers and that pesky bully this school year. But parents? They're leery about lunches.
With food prices rising and packages shrinking, parents are wondering how they'll stretch their food budgets. Children are going to get an unwitting lesson in economics, analysts say, as parents change their food-buying habits to keep costs down.
Some kids will eat more hot lunches this year. Some will carry baggies full of snacks like home-packed chips and crackers rather than prepackaged ones. Maybe there will be more peanut butter, if it hasn't been banned in school because of allergies, instead of lunch meats, or cheaper items like Spam.
This year's lunchroom will be less about convenience and more about the bottom line, said Marcia Mogelonsky, senior research analyst with Mintel International in Chicago. Parents will be shopping for deals but still wanting all the basics — fruits, veggies, proteins and fun things like chips and cookies. It won't be easy, she said.
"Parents are sort of entering this with trepidation," she said. "It's not how much it costs. It's how much more it costs relative to what they're used to spending."
The costs for key ingredients — like corn, wheat, soybeans and other items — are high and eating into food companies' profits. So big names like Kraft Foods Inc., Sara Lee Corp. and Hormel Foods Corp. are passing along price increases as they try to keep making money.
Some companies are also shrinking products or getting rid of certain lines to lower their costs. Skippy peanut butter, made by Unilever, now sells in 16.3 ounce jars that look the same size as the previous 18 ounce jars because of a larger indentation at the bottom. Kraft is reducing the number and in some cases the size, of items in its Deli Selects cheese line, for example. Sara Lee has reduced the size of some of its Hillshire Farm deli meat packages from 10 ounces to 9 ounces. The prices, for the most part, don't go down.
Some stores — like grocery store chain Save-A-Lot — are advising parents on what to buy. The chain, which targets bargain shoppers, has a new campaign telling parents how to make meals like turkey slices wrapped in tortillas that cost about a $1 a serving.
In Los Altos, Calif., Hollis Bischoff's two children have been packing their own lunches for years. It saves money because they know what they'll eat, she said, and it teaches them a lesson in how to spend and save. Jordana, 12, and Nate, 14, have never bought milk because they think it's too expensive at school, she said, and they ask teachers if they can use the microwaves in their lounges when they want hot food.
The kids also go and buy food at the stores, or leave a list for their parents if they run out — always with costs in mind, Bischoff said. They get some money from their parents for lunches and if they go over a set amount, it comes out of their allowance. Bischoff said they'd rather save their money for more fun things, like a Nintendo Wii, so they opt to skip the $2 slices of pizza, for example.
"They've learned the meaning of saving money and spending money because they've seen what's happened during the years in the stores," said Bischoff, 49, who owns a yarn shop and works a full-time job as a market analyst.
The cost of food is soaring. In the U.S., retail food prices rose an average of 6 percent this year. That's three times the normal inflation rate. Prices are rising because companies are paying more for key ingredients, due to increased demand around the world, the weak U.S. dollar and weather that destroyed crops.
Economists say the high prices won't be coming down anytime soon.
The pinch consumers are feeling is affecting their shopping habits, said Harry Balzer, vice president of consumer research firm NPD Group and an expert on American eating patterns.
"These rising food costs have to be paid for by somebody," he said. "The question is how are you going to pay for them? Are you going to pay for them in keeping your out-of-pocket cost constant by buying smaller portions, or are you going to be paying more for what you paid last year?"
People typically spend 10 percent of their income on food and that won't change, he said, so instead they're looking for deals, eating less or changing brands.
Mogelonsky said many parents will have to put more thought into what they're giving their kids. Lots of changes will be in the snack realm, she said, because people are more price-sensitive for snack foods.
One way many parents will save is to stop buying prepackaged snacks, especially the 100-calorie ones that hit the market a few years ago, Mogelonsky said.
Kids should probably expect to see fewer treats this year, as well, she said, since that'll be seen as a luxury. Parents will have to talk to them about what they want to eat and why — and explain why those cookies may be gone this year.
"It's a good time to teach economics, nutrition and budgeting. It could become a major focus in parent-child relations, making lunches," Mogelonsky said.
She said there could also be a benefit to childhood obesity rates, much like traffic fatalities are coming down because people are driving less. If people cut back on their food spending, they may end up eating better, she said.
Parents say they won't be giving their kids less food — so don't expect hunger pangs in the afternoon. They just say they're approaching it differently and buying with cost more in mind.
Debbie Moors' daughters, ages 8 and 10, will bring their own milk from home, saving $1 a day this year. They'll also get a half sandwich instead of a full one, since Moors learned that's all they were eating last year. Chips and fruit snacks will be made from bulk bags rather than prepackaged ones.
It all means more thinking and planning, said Moors, 44, of Berthoud, Colo., and she hopes she can keep her momentum going all year.
"By the middle of the year you just get tired of trying to think of something different to put in there," said Moors, a magazine editor. "I tend to lose motivation a little bit. But I think this year I'm going to be more motivated just from a cost-savings standpoint."
Retailers are trying to help consumers make these choices at their stores.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has its "Mealtime Ideas" campaign and upscale grocer Whole Foods Market Inc. has pamphlets of coupons and back-to-school lunch ideas in its stores.
Save-A-Lot, which has 1,200 discount-oriented grocery stores in about 40 states, is extending its "Fuel Your Family" campaign in the next few weeks, using ads and signs in stores to help parents find meals they can make for about $1 a serving, typically using the company's exclusive lines of products. Meals — devised with a family of four in mind — include a grilled cheese sandwich and soup lunch that's 94 cents per serving, tuna pot pie for 74 cents per serving, and turkey bologna on wheat sandwiches with grapes for 86 cents a serving.
Bill Shaner, chief executive of the chain, a division of Supervalu Inc., said the company got meal ideas from its own workers. They're worried about costs just like everyone else.
"Everybody's trying to pinch their pennies. They're all struggling to allocate their food dollars," Shaner said.

Foote, Julia A.J.
Thirty years ago there could scarcely a person be found, in the churches, to sympathize with any one who talked of Holiness. But, in my simplicity, I did think that a body of Christian ministers would understand my case and judge righteously. I was, however, disappointed.
It is no little thing to feel that every man's hand is against us, and ours against every man, as seemed to be the case with me at this: time; yet how precious, if Jesus but be with us. In this severe trial I had constant access:. to God, and a clear consciousness that he heard me; yet I did not seem to have that plenitude of the Spirit that I had before. I realized most keenly that the closer the communion that may have existed, the keener the suffering of the slightest departure from God. Unbroken communion can only be retained by a constant application of the blood which cleanseth.
Though I did not wish to pain any one, neither could I please any one only as I was let by the Holy Spirit. I saw, as never before, that the best men were liable to err, and that the only safe way was to fall on Christ, even though censure and reproach fell upon me for obeying his voice. Man's opinion weighed nothing with me, for my commission was from heaven, and my reward was with the Most High.
I could not believe that it was a short-lived impulse or spasmodic influence that impelled me to preach. I read that on the day of Pentecost was the Scripture fulfilled as found in Joel ii. 28, 29; and it certainly will not be denied that women as well as men were at that time pulled with the Holy Ghost, because it is expressly stated that women were among those who continued in prayer and supplication, waiting for the fulfillment of the promise. Women and men are classed together, and if the power to preach the Gospel is short-lived and spasmodic in the case of women, it must be equally so in that of men; and if women have lost the gift of prophecy, so have men.
We are sometimes told that if a woman pretends to a Divine call, and thereon grounds the right to plead the cause of a crucified Redeemer in public, she will be believed when she shows
But the Bible puts an end to this strife when it says: "There is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus." Philip had four daughters that prophesied, or preached. Paul called Priscilla, as well as Aquila, his "helper," or, as in the Greek, his "fellow-laborer." Rom. XV.3; 2 Cor. viii. 23; Phil. ii.5; 1 Thess. iii. 2. The same word, which, in our common translation, is now rendered a "servent of the church," in speaking of phebe (Rom. xix. 1), is rendered "minister" when applied to Tychicuss. Eph vi.21. When Paul said, "Help those women who labor with me in the Gospel," he certainly meant that they did more than to pour out tea. In the eleventh chapter of First Corinthians Paul gives directions, to men and women, how they should appear when they prophesy or pray in pubic assemblies; and he defines prophesying to be speaking to edification, exhoration and comfort.
I may further remaark that the conduct of holy women ids recorded in sscripture ass an example to others of their sex. And in the eary ages of christianity many women were
In looking over these facts, I could see no miracle wrought for those women more than in myself.
Though opposed, I went forth laboring for God, and he owned and blessed my labors, and has done so wherever I have been until this day. And while I walk obediently, I know he will, though hell may rage and vent its spite.

A NEW YOU: Trust in God's love
Some time ago, I heard a fictional story about a man who was in a boating accident. Unharmed, he swam to safety to an uninhabited island.
Daily, the man prayed feverishly asking God to rescue him. Yet, day after day, no one came to save him.
Have you ever prayed for something, and it seems as though your prayers remain unanswered?
So, to protect himself from the elements, the man built a little hut out of driftwood. However, one afternoon, when he arrived back after scavenging the island for food, he found his hut in a burst of flames, the smoke rolling up high into the grayish-blue sky.
Overwhelmed with grief, the man looked up to the heavens and implored, "God, how could you do this to me?" For the man didn't think he was going to make it through this dire circumstance. It appeared that the worst had happened. Not only was the man left all alone, but now, he'd also lost his home. In a spirit of despair and so distraught from the fire, he felt that all hope for a rescue was gone. On the ground, sobbing uncontrollably and exhausted, eventually, the man fell asleep.
As daylight broke, the man was awakened by the sound of a ship's horn that was approaching the island. He couldn't believe it. A crew was coming to rescue him. He was overjoyed!
Now, aboard the ship, safe and secure, the man questioned his rescuers, "How did you know I was here?" he asked.
One of his rescuers answered, "We saw your smoke signal ... or else we never would have known you were on that island."
The man was stunned, and he dropped to his knees in thankfulness to God. For finally, the man understood that God sometimes works in mysterious ways that we don't fully comprehend. Therefore, let us trust in Him.
God sees what you are going through. So wipe away those tears and smile again. God is a God of another chance. No matter how small or large your needs may be, no matter what you have been through in the past, don't get discouraged, God is there for you.
I recall when my youngest daughter was an infant. Sometimes at night she couldn't fall asleep on her own. So, I would gently lift her from her crib, then sit in the rocking chair in her room, hold and rock her in a certain way to allow her to fall asleep. When my daughter was in my arms, almost at once, she was calm and quiet.
As I was right there to comfort my daughter, God is there to comfort and care for you. So, release the weight of your worries and burdens onto Him. God often does the unexpected. His specialty is doing the impossible. Accordingly, do not lose heart or become defeated even if a situation seems insurmountable. For God is at work right now to turn around adverse conditions for your good. Stay in peace, for He is saying to you today, "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" (Jeremiah 32:27).
• Does all appear to be over? Be on the lookout for someone to intercede. Out of the blue, people will turn up in the most unlikely places and help you, changing the course of your future. So, "Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead!" (1 Peter 1:6).
• Have you suffered a defeat? Persevere. Try again. Change your approach from doubt to faith, and positive things can begin to happen. Unexpectedly, you could be offered an amazing opportunity that brings new dreams to fruition. As God is "able to do above all that we can ask or even think." (Ephesians 3:20).
• Are you going through a tough time right now? Rather than focusing on the difficulty, during the day, utter, "God is directing my steps," "I will prevail over this circumstance," and "I will fulfill God's best plan for my life." God knows how to arrange the situations and people that you need to get your life back on track. For "all things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28).
Last week, a reader sent me a letter and explained how through much faith and prayer, God intervened in the life of one of her family members and restored that member back to health. "God keeps His promises in the lives of ordinary people," she wrote. "He delights in taking the impossible and weaving His loving power to turning it into the possible."
Just as a teabag transforms plain water into a new and different entity, God can transform your future and bless you beyond what you can imagine. So pray in faith knowing that He hears you and trust, trust, trust in the power of God. He will make a way for you to succeed, for He hasn't taken you this far on your journey to leave you on your own.
Recently, I read again about the life of Job in the Bible. The story goes that Job lost almost everything that was valuable to him. Yet, despite his many afflictions, Job never lost his faith in, or dependence on, God. And Job 42:12 explains that, "the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning." In other words, the Lord brought about and gave Job "more" blessings at the end of his life than he had had in the beginning.
Hence, keep your hope alive. God's eye is watching even the tiniest sparrow, thus surely He will take care of you and supply your needs. God is with you in all that you do, so, "Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." — St. Augustine.
An abundance of love, joy and more victories await you. Look for them and be nurtured in the loving arms of our Lord.
