George Weasley: "Excellent, I think I see a few veela cousins. They'll need help understanding our English customs, I'll look after them..."
Fred Weasley: "Not so fast, Lugless... Here – permettez-moi to assister vous."
— Fred and George Weasley meet Fleur Delacour's cousins[src]

These cousins of Fleur and Gabrielle Delacour were two French Veela, or part-Veela, who attended Fleur's wedding to Bill Weasley in the summer of 1997.[2]

Biography[]

When they attended the wedding, the two Veela had exotic flowers and bewitched birds decorating their hats. Their beauty quickly attracted the attention of Fred and George Weasley, two of the groom's younger brothers. Fred ended up being the one who escorted them inside the Burrow while George was forced to assist a "gaggle of middle-aged witches".[2]

Later that evening, during the reception, Harry Potter noticed that Fred and George "disappeared into the darkness" with Fleur's cousins.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

  • One of the Veela cousins was portrayed by Alison Cain in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
  • These two girls possible that be more distant cousins to Fleur and Gabrielle Delacour than first cousins, as they seem to be full-blooded Veela, whereas the Delacours were quarter-Veela. This indicates that they could not have had the same grandparents, since Fleur and Gabrielle's grandfather was a wizard. They were presumably related to the Delacours through their maternal grandmother, who was a Veela. Alternatively George could simply be using the term 'Veela cousins' to mean that they have visible Veela ancestry, and it is not directly stated that they were full blooded Veela, and may simply have been part-Veela like Fleur and Gabrielle.
