The Most Powerful Weasleys (RANKED) - Harry Potter Theory

Hey everyone,

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video we’re going to be tackling a topic which I’m sure will be subject to MUCH debate- who is the most powerful WEASLEY? More importantly- how do each of the Weasleys stack up against each other? If we were to RANK the famous wizarding family by power, who would come out on top? Who would fall to the bottom?

I’ve made lots of ranking videos in the past- ranking the most powerful Slytherins, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, Gryffindors, Order of the Phoenix members, Dumbledore’s Army members, Marauders, professors & more, If this is your cup of tea, then you may want to check out those videos as well. However, time and time again I’ve seen this idea commented, so today- let’s look at the Weasleys.

There are 9 immediate family members of the Weasleys to which we’re introduced in the series. In no particular order- Ron, Charlie, Ginny, Molly, Fred, George, Percy, Arthur & Bill. Before we get in to this, I want you to comment down below your OWN rankings- then watch the video and see how they compare.

The Weasleys first make their mark right near the beginning of the Philosopher’s Stone, when Harry stumbles in to them at platform 9 ¾ . Almost immediately, we get the sense that Harry is going to be close with these solid, kind people- and over the course of the books/films Harry basically becomes..Family. Where Harry was shunted at the Dursley residence (which is ironic since he is actually related to them)- he was conversely welcomed with open arms at the Weasley residence- he was..Harry.

And through all their quirks- we love the Weasleys. They are good people with nothing but Harry’s best interest in mind- allowing him to spend countless holidays at their home, and always looking out for him. But here’s the thing about the Weasleys: beneath their welcoming, warm exteriors, they are all extremely magically talented. A bit of history- the ‘Weasleys’ are members of the sacred 28 - 1 of 28 wizarding families that were thought to still be truly ‘pure-blood’ by the time the 1930s rolled around. However, in spite of their pure-blood status the Weasleys did not discriminate against others, like many pure-blood families did. In fact, the Weasleys recognized everyone as their equal- muggles, muggle-borns and half-bloods alike. For this reason, they were labelled as ‘blood-traitors’. Their lineage is long (and traceable) and over the years there have been many other powerful Weasleys, but for now, let’s look at the ones we know. One thing to bear in mind is that NO Weasley is weak- they are all powerful, some are just more powerful than others. This was the hardest power ranking list that I’ve had to make so far.

9. Percy Weasley

First things first- Percy is certainly the least popular of the Weasleys- I think that goes without saying. He was born in 1976 and was Arthur & Molly’s third child- after Bill and Charlie- and though he personified many of the positive Weasley values, his mind did end up getting a bit corrupted and he went down a questionable path. He did however, eventually redeem himself.

He was a very ambitious person, but this also meant that he was a stickler for the rules. He was extremely disapproving of Fred and Georges constant pranks and tricks, and had convinced himself that in order to get far in life, you needed structure.

His structured life, calculated demeanour, and strong desire to APPEASE meant that he eventually landed himself the roles of prefect / head boy - taking on additional responsibilities while still a student at Hogwarts.

However, just because Percy was ambitious, this ambition didn’t necessarily manifest itself in the form a longing for greater magical ability. Percy was a good student- he attended classes, got good grades, and did everything that was expected of him- but he didn’t necessarily go above and beyond magically. He never wanted to be ‘powerful’ in the sense that he could create all kinds of powerful spells- he wanted to be like Fudge- he wanted to be minister for magic- he wanted..political power. For this reason, Percy is at the bottom of the list- however, don’t get me wrong, Percy is still a talented wizard.
