Hugo Granger-Weasley

Hugo Weasley (born c. 2008) is a half-blood wizard and the child of Ronald and Hermione Weasley. He has an older sister named Rose who attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Biography
Hugo Weasley was born in late 2007 or early 2008 to a pure-blood father and a Muggle-born mother, making him half blood. He is about two years younger than his sister Rose, and around the same age as his cousin Lily Potter, daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter, and the two seem to be quite close. In 2017, he accompanied his parents to see off his sister and his Potter cousins to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hugo and Lily shared an eagerness to go to Hogwarts, despite both of them being too young. At King's Cross Station, the two had "an animated discussion about which House they would be sorted into when they finally went to Hogwarts"

Etymology
Hugo is a Latinised form of the Germanic or Teutonic name Hugh, meaning "bright in spirit and mind". French novelist and poet Victor Hugo was a famous bearer of this name. It is possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same first initials as they have, R and H. It is also possible that they named their children after Hermione´s parents or grandparents, or after Ron's maternal ones.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was also awarded the Hugo Award, so it is possible that this was J. K. Rowling's way of thanking them for that honour.
