The fictional Weasley family figure prominently in the plot of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series of fantasy novels, as Ron Weasley is Harry's best friend. The Weasleys have a large family of seven children, which all have red hair and freckles. Though all the actors playing Weasleys in the films have red hair, they typically lack freckles.
The Weasleys live in the Burrow near Ottery St Catchpole, and are poor enough that their children have to make-do with secondhand school supplies and clothing, particularly the younger ones. Despite this, the Weasleys are one of the most respected pureblood families, except by people such as Lucius Malfoy, who consider them blood traitors.
The Weasleys own a rather clumsy owl named Errol. He seemes aged, has trouble making deliveries, and is often found unconscious.
