What Happened to Fleur Delacour after the Deathly Hallows? (+7 Other Interesting Facts)

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video we’re once again going to be discussing French Beauxbatons graduate Fleur Delacour. You guys seem to be really enjoying getting to know her character, so I thought I’d oblige and continue to make content covering her.

When Fleur is first introduced as a fierce competitor in the triwizard tournament, she showed up at Hogwarts positively unimpressed with her surroundings. When she walked in the room the most obvious thing about her was that she was strikingly beautiful, but she also gave off a very pompous, arrogant vibe. However, when Harry goes on to save her little sister Gabrielle during task 2 of the triwizard tournament, something which Fleur herself failed to do, Fleurs tone changed quite a bit- dropping the icy attitude and even going on to become friends with Harry.

Now, for those that have only seen the films, you probably don’t know Fleur very well at all, so most of these things are going to be news to you. As for the book-readers, I’m willing to bet that there are still a few things that you didn’t know. Either way, sit back, relax, and enjoy my top 10 interesting facts about Fleur Delacour.

#1 - Her heritage

Though Fleur looks almost completely human, she actually has one quarter Veela blood running through her veins. For those unaware:

"Veela are semi-human magical beings; beautiful women with white-gold hair and skin that appears to shine moon-bright. When angry, Veela take on a less pleasant appearance; their faces elongate into sharp, cruel-beaked bird heads, and long scaly wings burst from their shoulders."

And this is partially what makes Veelas so enigmatic, as where in one moment they can exude sheer beauty, in the very next moment they can turn in to horrific monsters. Harry sees this first-hand:

"At this, the veela lost control. Instead of dancing, they launched themselves across the field and began throwing what seemed to be handfuls of fire at the leprechauns. Watching through his Omnioculars, Harry saw that they didn’t look remotely beautiful now.”

The beauty of Veelas enchants men who come across them, and despite Fleur only being one Quarter Veela, it was evident that her beauty had an impact on the boys of Hogwarts.
#2 - Her Wand

Next up we have Fleurs wand. Now, In Harry Potter everyone has a wand unique to them, so no surprises there- but, among all of the possible wand combinations in the wizarding world, Fleur’s is still pretty unique.

Garrick Ollivander: "Yes, nine and a half inches... inflexible.. rosewood... and containing... dear me.. "
Fleur Delacour: "An 'air from ze 'ead of a veela. One of my grandmuzzer's."

You see, Fleurs wand possessed an ancestral element - a familial component- veela hair. When Fleur was young, her grandmother gave her the hair that was eventually placed in to her wand. Though powerful, the hair of a veela makes the wand very ‘inflexible’ as well as exceedingly hard to control. If you think about it, this actually fits Fleur quite well.
#3 - Her Beauty

Being a quarter-veela, beauty is an important part of Fleurs characters. It’s described constantly, and because of her heritage it almost transcends the traditional idea of ‘beauty’. Everything about her turns heads- and this is because Veela possess beauty sort of akin to the ‘sirens’ of different mythologies, an alluring-irresistable type of beauty. But one really interesting thing about Veela is that they don’t completely steal the show with their beauty, in fact, when they’re in a positive emotional state themselves they’re able to make those around them seem more beautiful as well. While she was getting married to Bill, Fleur was well and truly happy, and it was at this moment that Harry noticed that, even Bill, started looking better and better- despite rocking a faceful of scars. It would seem that the beauty of a Veela has the ability to ‘emanate’ and effect others to some extent.
