Wedding of Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett

The wedding of Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett took place in the late 1960s. As Voldemort was becoming more powerful and life becomes more uncertain in the wizarding world, many young couples, facing the uncertainty got married quickly. Arthur and Molly, who had been sweethearts at Hogwarts, were one of these couples.

History


Arthur and Molly graduated from Hogwarts in the late 1960s, and she and Arthur eloped soon after. Nothing is known about their wedding. Their first child, Bill, was born 29 November, 1970. Six more children followed: Charlie, Percy, twins Fred and George, Ron, and Ginny. Molly had longed to have a daughter after having her first five sons, but had another son, Ron, before finally having a daughter, Ginny. The large family lived at the Burrow on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon.

In 1996 when talking about their marriage many years later, Molly noted that theirs was not a rash decision because of the war, but because “they were made for each other.”
