[edit] Biography
Hugo Weasley was born in late 2007 or early 2008 [1] to a pure-blood father and a Muggle-born mother. He is about two years younger than his sister Rose, and around the same age as his cousin Lily Potter, daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter, and the two seem to be quite close.
In 2017, he accompanied his parents to see off his sister and Potter cousins to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hugo and Lily shared an eagerness to go to Hogwarts, despite both of them being too young. The two had "an animated discussion about which House they would be sorted into when they finally went to Hogwarts" at King's Cross Station.[2]
[edit] Etymology
Hugo is a latinized form of the Germanic or Teutonic name Hugh, meaning "bright in spirit and mind". French novelist and poet Victor Hugo was a famous bearer of this name. It is possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same first initials as they have, R and H. It is also possible that they named their children after Hermione´s parents or grandparents, or after Ron´s maternal ones.
The Harry Potter books were also awarded the Hugo Award so its possible that this was J.K. Rowling's way of thanking them for that honour.

[edit] Notes and references
- ↑ In the Epilogue of Deathly Hallows, Hugo was implied to be around the same age as Lily Potter, who would begin attending Hogwarts in 2019. Thus, he must have been born sometime between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2008.
