The eldest Weasley son, Bill has made a life for himself beyond the Burrow, working as a curse-breaker in Egypt. He returns home with his characteristic cool, adventurous style, and his easy affection for his family is clear in the way he greets and says goodbye to them. At the Quidditch World Cup, he meets Fleur Delacour, who is immediately drawn to him; his presence offers Harry a glimpse of a grown-up Weasley life beyond school.
Description
Bill is tall, with long red hair usually tied back in a ponytail and a lean, easy-moving build. His face has a relaxed, self-assured look, and a fang earring dangles from his ear as a distinctive accent. He favors practical wizarding clothes and sturdy dragon-hide boots, sometimes wearing his sleeves rolled up. His style is cool and a little unconventional, while his grin makes him seem approachable.
