**— Ron Weasley** encouraging **Rose** to beat **Draco Malfoy**'s son
**Rose "Rosie" Emilia Granger-Weasley** (b. 31 October, 2005) is a English halfblood witch and the eldest child of Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. She has a younger brother named Hugo, who was born about two years after her.

She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 2017-2024 — at the same time and in the same year as Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy — and was sorted into Gryffindor.

## Physical Appearance

Rose is said to have inherited her father's red hair, the hair colour famously shared by most of the Weasley clan. When Albus and Scorpius travelled back through time, Scorpius mistook a young Hermione for Rose, hinting that there was a strong resemblance between Rose and her mother.

## Magical Skills and Abilities

* **Flying**: Having been selected as for the role of Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team at Hogwarts, Rose was a highly accomplished and talented broomstick flyer and Quidditch player, particularly for a witch of young age. Minerva McGonagall notably described her flying abilities as "superb", a clear indication of her very impressive skills in this field.

## Possessions

* **Wand**: Being a witch who attended Hogwarts, Rose would have owned her own wand, which she would have likely brought from Ollivanders in Diagon Alley before starting her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This wand was of an unknown length, wand wood and wand core.
* **Broomstick**: Having played as Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team at Hogwarts, Rose would have therefore owned her own broom, which was of an unknown model and unknown specifics.

## Etymology

* **Rose** was most likely named after the eponymous flower; which is widely prized for its beauty and fragrance. Roses are often considered symbols of love and have historically been associated with goddesses such as Isis and Aphrodite. This may symbolize her parents' relationship with each other. The rose is also the national flower of England. Red roses are particularly associated with romance, and could allude to the trademark Weasley red hair.
* **Emilia**
* **Granger** is another word for farmer; specifically, it was the title of a farm bailiff, who oversaw the collection of rent and taxes from the barns of a feudal lord. It is a surname of English and French origin, derived from the Anglo-Norman *grainger* and the French *grangier*, both of which come from Latin *granica*, meaning "granary."
* **Weasley**

It is also possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same initials as their parents; *R* and *H*. Interestingly, both children also have names that are four letters long.

## Trivia

* She is portrayed by Danielle Rose Russell.
	+ Though she was portrayed by actress Helena Barlow in *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2* and british actress Cherrelle Skeete in the original West End production of *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child*.
* Rose shares the first letter of her name with her father Ronald Weasley. Her brother Hugo shares the first letter of his name with their mother Hermione.
* Rose's origins are like her uncle's, as she has a pureblood father (Ron, like James Potter) and a muggleborn mother (Hermione, like Lily Evans).
* Both of Rose's parents are featured on a Chocolate Frog Card.
* Rose's name continues J. K. Rowling's tradition of naming characters after flowers (i.e. Lily and Petunia, Narcissa, Fleur, Lavender, Poppy, and Pansy).
