Percy Weasley's letter to Ronald Weasley (1995) II

"He is – the world's – biggest – git!"

- Ron Weasley, tearing up Percy's letter

Percy Weasley's letter is a letter written by Percy Weasley in 1995 and sent to his brother Ron.

Having heard from Cornelius Fudge that his brother Ron had been made a Gryffindor prefect, Percy wrote to congratulate him, afraid that Ron might have taken the "Fred and George route", deciding to cause trouble at school. He also urged Ron to break off contact with Harry Potter, fearing that, since Harry had been tried by the Wizengamot and gotten off on a technicality, their friendship would threaten Ron's position as a prefect, and even possibly a future appointment as Head Boy.

Percy also commented that Dumbledore's future at Hogwarts could be coming to an end, with veiled hints at the introduction of the Hogwarts High Inquisitor post.

He then followed with an apology about not getting to see Ron more over the previous summer holiday. Percy claimed it pained him to criticise their mother and father, but he could not live with them while they remained "mixed up" with the Order of the Phoenix.

While Harry treated the letter as a joke, Ron angrily tore it up and threw the pieces into the fire in the Gryffindor common room.
