Charles Weasley's friends

"I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming over to visit me next week. Trouble is, they mustn't be seen carrying an illegal dragon."

— Charlie's letter to Ronald Weasley

Jacob's sibling, Barnaby Lee and Liz Tuttle transporting Norbert to the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary.

The friends of Charles Weasley assisted him in transporting Norberta (then known as Norbert), Rubeus Hagrid's Norwegian Ridgeback, from the Astronomy Tower to the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary using broomsticks. They were described as a "cheery lot".

While Charlie prepared a place for Norbert at the Sanctuary, Jacob's sibling served as lookout and distracted Filch, and the other four met Harry and Hermione at the top of the Astronomy Tower for the hand off.

Behind the scenes

Charlie Weasley's friends in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (video game)

• The narrator's dialogue on the PC version of the the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone implies that Charlie himself came to Hogwarts to collect Norbert rather than sending his friends. Despite this, at least two figures on broomsticks are seen flying around the Astronomy Tower, and the scene is too shadowy to distinguish any features of the people in question.
• The exact identities of these friends was unknown until they appeared in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery in 2024.
