Mrs. Weasley Character Analysis

Ron's mother and an important member of the Order of the Phoenix. She is a kind, warm woman who treats Harry as an honorary son—but because of this, she tries to keep Harry in the dark about what the Order is up to. She and Sirius are often at odds with each other, as Sirius believes Harry should have more information and Mrs. Weasley thinks that Sirius treats Harry like he's James Potter, Sirius’s best friend, not an underage godson in need of guidance and protection. During the time that Harry spends at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, Mrs. Weasley spends most of her time cleaning and cooking. When she tries to tackle a boggart hiding in a writing desk, her boggart horrifically takes the shape of all the members of her family, dead and mangled, showing that her greatest fear is losing her family in the war against Voldemort.

Chapter Nine Quotes

The fact was that living at the headquarters of the anti-Voldemort movement was not nearly as interesting or exciting as Harry would have expected before he experienced it. Though members of the Order of the Phoenix came and went regularly, sometimes staying for meals, sometimes only for a few minutes' whispered conversation, Mrs. Weasley made sure that Harry and the others were kept well out of earshot (whether Extendable or normal) and nobody, not even Sirius, seemed to feel that Harry needed to know anything more than he had heard on the night of his arrival.
