George Weasley

George Weasley, also known as Georgie, Gred, Harry Potter and Tentacula, is a character from the Harry Potter series.
== Charactah Account ==
George Weasley was an English pure-blood wizard, the fifth son and the less dominant among the twins of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, younger brother of Bill, Charlie and Percy, younger twin brother and best friend of the late Fred Weasley, and older brother to Ron and Ginny. George's first few years were marked by the height of the First Wizarding War and Lord Voldemort's first fall.
George attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1989 to 1996 with Fred, and was sorted into Gryffindor House. He and Fred were popular students, joining the Circle of Khanna in their first year, becoming Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in their second year and members of Dumbledore's Army in their unfinished seventh year.
A born prankster and inventor, George left Hogwarts prior to graduation to become a successful entrepreneur with Fred, and opened the joke shop Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes at 93 Diagon Alley. He was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and fought in the Battle of the Seven Potters and the Battle of Hogwarts; in the latter, Fred died, leaving George devastated.

== Trivia ==
* George is portrayed by British actor Oliver Phelps in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Part 2 and so is one of the 13 characters to appear in all 8 film adaptations.
* There has been some suggestion that George and Fred are named after their maternal uncles, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, who were killed in the First Wizarding War, and who share George and Fred's first initials.
* Daniel Radcliffe plays George in the 'Seven Potters' scene.
* George and Fred earned fewer O.W.Ls combined than each of the rest of their brothers separately.
* George and Fred were the only sons of Arthur and Molly Weasley who did not become prefects during their education at Hogwarts.
* In the novels, J. K. Rowling described the twins as 'shorter and stockier' and Percy and Ron as 'long and lanky', but in the film, Fred and George were a lot taller and lankier than Percy and Ron.
* George Weasley's O.W.L. results have not been specifically stated by name; he had mentioned in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that he had an inspected Charms lesson, and that he and his brother Fred were going to sell extendable ears before Herbology. Lee Jordan also mentioned that they played Exploding Snap in Defence Against the Dark Arts. Since they only passed three subjects, these are most likely the subjects they passed (although it is also possible that the twins chose different subjects to take beyond OWL level and purposely failed other courses to free up their schedules).
* Rowling has said that George and Fred are among her favourite characters.
* Unlike Ron, his younger brother, George never got mad at Harry Potter for dating and romancing with George's sister, Ginny. However, George was protective of Ginny.
* The Weasley twins were born April Fools' Day - April 1. It's traditional to play a prank on someone on this day, which seems to be a particular hobby of Fred and George's.
* In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 it is George who walks in on Harry and Ginny kissing in the kitchen on Harry's birthday, instead of Ron bursting in on them in Ginny's bedroom.
* It is interesting to note that the only times Fred or George have been injured were when they were apart. They were split up at the time of Fred's death and when George lost his ear.
* Unsurprisingly, losing his ear barely affected George at all, joking only minutes after having it cut off. By the morning he's even using his ear as a place to hold things.
* In the book, George's ear is removed completely, leaving a hole where it used to be. In the film, his ear isn't removed, but it is heavily scarred and deformed.
