Blog All About It is a blog challenge where there is a prompt every month that you write about…you can take the prompt in whatever direction you want. I completely forgot to do January’s prompt, so I’m sliding in today with my post for February.
The theme? RED!
Red Hair...Hand Me Down Robes...You Must be a Weasley! New post #ontheblog - challenge prompt? RED! #blogallaboutit #bookbloggers #februharry2018 Click To TweetSince I’ve been celebrating all things Harry Potter this month (#FebruHARRY2018), I had to do one last HP post and using the prompt, it’s all about the Weasley’s!
That’s right…the Weasley family, full of gingers (or you know, red-haired folk). The Weasley’s are probably one of the best families in the whole Harry Potter series. Yes, they are one of the few we really get to know, but even so, they are amazing.
Mr. Weasley with his hilarious love of all things muggles – including making a car fly (allowing three of his sons to sneak out and ‘kidnap’ Harry in the second book).
Then there is Mrs. Weasley, who is fierce and loving. And so hilarious! You have to remember her iconic line in the seventh book – and if you haven’t read it yet, DO SO NOW!
Of course, you also have Bill, Charlie, and Percy – the three eldest brothers. But we’ll just move along to some of my favorite characters – the twins, Fred and George!
You want funny? Lightheartedness? A brotherhood that also means friends forever?
Fred and George, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, normally Ron would be next – in order of the oldest to youngest – and then Ginny, but I’m leaving Ron for last. Ginny is the youngest Weasley, and the only girl, and honestly, she was never one of my favorite characters…at least not for Harry. It was weird how she went from fangirl to possible love interest. Anyway, she’s pretty wicked in her own right, so I have to honor her; she’s her mother’s daughter, after all.
And now…RON WEASLEY! The epitome of red haired awesome-ness. Yes, Ron is easily jealous of Harry, but with the huge family he’s grown up in, it makes sense. He doesn’t get the attention Harry gets, or the money Harry has, and while Harry would happily have grown up a Weasley instead of the way he did, it still makes sense that Ron would get upset and jealous. He’s a good friend though, and he’s funny!!
So that wraps up #FebruHARRY2018. You have one more day to enter a couple giveaways, and there are some other posts you’re welcome to check out here.
Now you’ve made me want to watch the Harry Potter movies again! I do love red hair! 🙂
A Weasley fan post, I love it! Especially I’m rereading the series right now and really loving the Weasley’s as well. Ron’s not perfect, but he’s definitely an amazing friend. Even in the 3rd book, he told S that if he wanted to kill Harry, he’d have to kill him too, and I mean, come on, that’s like the epitome of loyalty right there!
This makes me want to reread the series!
This is great. I love theses gingers!!!
I just started to wonder how I’ll read aloud that iconic line from Mrs. Weasley to my kids, lol!
Our lives according to Harry Potter! Fun!
I love the Harry Potter movies and books!! Now I’m going to have to watch all the movies again!
I just bought my little boy baby versions of the harry potter books. Hes obsessed!
What? This is a thing?!
I always loved Fred and George in the books!
LOL great way to tie it in to your monthly theme 😀
I really do need to watch the Harry Potter movies or even better, read at least the first book! Lol! Lots of redheads here!

The Weasley family always seem so much fun to be around in the books and such a loyal team. Lovely read, thanks 🙂
Love this post, Lauren. In honor of the Gingers, the Weasley family is the perfect choice. This also makes me want to watch the movies again. They are classics that bring back good memories of sharing these books with my daughter. Ya, I didn’t see the Harry and Ginny connection coming. That said, I still have not read the fifth and last book in the series. I think when the movies began, I decided to wait and watch b/c the films were so amazing.
Love this post!! Ron is easily one of the most under appreciated characters!
This makes me want to reread the series!
The Weasleys are the perfect wizard family for sure.
I loved Ron. Maybe more than Harry. He could be obnoxious but he’s also a solid friend who stood by him.

The Weasleys are one of my favorite literary families. There is something really special about a family that didn’t have have much, but was still able to welcome someone like Harry into their fold. And Ron is amazing. Book Ron deserved a better portrayal than the one we got in the movies.
I love the Weasleys, except for Percy, pain in the ass. I adore Fred and George. They make me laugh. Fun post.
Oh yeah, Percy is the worst! hah
The Weasley Family was always a favorite of mine as well!
Mrs. Weasley looks AWESOMe, judging from that GIF!1 🙂
The Weasleys are the best family! I just love how dysfunctional yet loving they can be. That would be the family i would choose to be a part of
Oh the Weasleys! I can’t help but love them. So much red hair!
LOVE THE WEASLEYS!!! “Red hair, hand-me-down robes, must be a Weasley”, gets said in our house at least once a week. 😀
My eldest daughter LOVES Fred and George and me, I’ve always been a Ron fan. 🙂
XO
Awesome post!! I LOVE the GIFS you chose! 🙂
Ah yes! I totally love the Weasleys. My husband and I say that Malfoy quote all the time. 🙂 Great use of your month theme and the challenge prompt!
I have seen this challenge around the blogosphere, and I it’s awesome to see how different people are completing the challenge. I love your fan post. It was awesome. I have not read the books, but I did enjoy the films and the Weasleys were a fantastic family.
Great post! I absolutely love the Weasleys! Well okay, maybe not Percy, but all of the rest of them are amazing, lol.
I’ve never read or watched Harry Potter. I know I live under a rock. This certainly made me want to go out and buy the books.
Harry Potter is literally my life!! I love this franchise so much. Such a fun post 🙂
This is so funny. I love all the Harry Potter gifs you used. How fun!
I need to watch these movies because clearly I’ll never get through the books. They sound so good and everyone seems to love them. I know I’m missing out.
Anything based in the world of Harry Potter is always good for this girl. I love this post. 🙂
I love Harry Potter!! I read the books every summer.
I love the Weasley’s and what a fun post! Great job!
Ginny ended up being a badass which I love. I liked how Bill and Fleur got together. It’s weird how we never saw Charlie…
I liked Bill and Fleur together too!
The Weasley’s really do deserve a whole lot of love. They are an awesome cinematic and book family!
Those GIFs are hilarious! I’ve probably seen all the movies, maybe not in their entirety, but I’ve caught some of each one. I love the scene with the twins are flying around the great hall creating a ruckus! LOL!
Love that family! I wish I was a ginger like my granny. Sighs….oh well
I love Harry Potter! And red heads!
I loved Fred and George the most! I do have a thing for red-heads though. I love all things HP, not sure I’ll ever get tired of them. I did hate some of the things about the Weasleys that were left out of the movies. But I know, I know, they can’t put it all in the movie. Fun post!
Ron is one of my favorite fictional characters ever. What a great connection to the red theme!
Sadly… I haven’t read Harry Potter. I do have it in my household now, and my son read them quite quickly!
Fun post. Love this family and their red hair.
Cute post about Harry Potter and the Weasley’s.
