**Charles "Charlie" Weasley** is a canonical pure-blood wizard, the second-oldest of Ron's brothers and seven years older than he. He was sorted into Gryffindor House and was both a prefect and captain of their Quidditch team, but after graduating in 1991 he went to Romania to study dragons. He was a member of the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix and fought in the final part of the Battle of Hogwarts, having arrived with reinforcements. He never married and had no children.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Charles Weasley** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Charlie became seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team near the end of his second year in school.

He is described as short and stocky, with muscled arms, weather-beaten face filled with freckles, and callused and blistered fingers. Like all of his family he had red hair, which he may have worn fairly long.

His birthday is 12 December.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Family Clock*

In this story, presumably set in October 1996 (although the timeline is somewhat unclear on that point, see The Family Clock#Timeline inconsistencies), Charlie returns to England to write "another dragon book, fiction this time", in hopes of drumming up support for the dragon reserve which has suffered from funding cuts. He meets the magical watchmaker Jessie Tickes, the main character of the story, and the two become a couple. A flash-forward scene hints at a pregnancy sometime around 2005-2007.

He is said to have become an "accomplished, if not precisely certified" healer from his work in Romania. He is also an author, having written several books published by Obscurus Books. Many of them are popular in the US, especially *The Dragons of Tirgoviste* which came out there in paperback in mid-1996 and resulted in his first substantial royalty check. At least one is a picture-book.

In Hogwarts, he wanted to be a professional Quidditch player, but during a hospital stay in his fifth year he realized that he missed Care of Magical Creatures more than the practice. His girlfriend at the time was unsympathetic, leading to them breaking up shortly after, and he spent a few months considering his options and what he wanted with his life. He eventually talked to McGonagal, who promised him extra lessons "as long as the team won their games" and a recommendation to the internship of his choice if they beat Slytherin to the cup. The latter was what gave him his first job at the reserve in Romania; he wasn't yet qualified for the magizoological fellowship, but his Transfiguration marks were sufficient for a place in Obfuscation and Concealment for the few months it took to fix that.

According to his mother, as a child he had a pretend friendly dragon called Box.

Charlie's middle name is said to be Reginald. Contrary to canon, he is said to be about 6'1".
