Mr. Weasley Character Analysis

Ron's father; a Ministry employee in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office. He loves Muggles and Muggle culture, especially the technology they use to replace magic, like electricity. A kind man, Mr. Weasley insists that Vernon say goodbye to Harry when he picks Harry up during the summer and is aghast when Fred and George trick Dudley into eating Ton-Tongue Toffees. He's also somewhat afraid of Mrs. Weasley and her temper, given that he seems to have never intended to tell her about this incident. For his part, he doesn't support Fred and George's dreams of opening a joke shop either, though he's not as vocal about his displeasure as his wife is. Mr. Weasley's interpretation of Rita Skeeter's post-Quidditch World Cup article suggests that he has well-developed critical thinking skills and knows how to critically evaluate the newspaper.
