Mr Prewett was a British pure-blood wizard and a member of the Prewett family.[1]

He was the brother of Ignatius Prewett[3] and the father of Molly, Fabian, and Gideon Prewett. He was the father-in-law of Arthur Weasley and the maternal grandfather of his and Molly's seven children. He could also have possibly been the nephew of Muriel.

He may have owned a Wizard's Chess set, which was later passed on to Ronald Weasley.[4]

Notes and references[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Writing by J. K. Rowling: "Pure-Blood" at Wizarding World
  2. 2.0 2.1 Harry Potter Limited Edition (see this image)
  3. Sirius Black stated in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 6 (The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black) that Molly Weasley was his "cousin by marriage". This means that Ignatius could not have been Molly, Fabian, and Gideon's father, as this would have made them first cousins by blood of Sirius [false logic: this merely means that Lucretia Black Prewett (Ignatius' wife) could not have been their mother]. Ignatius was Sirius's uncle by marriage, and if Molly was his niece, this could explain Sirius's comment. See this talk page for more information.
  4. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 12 (The Mirror of Erised): Ron's chess set is stated as belonging to his grandfather, but it does not say whether it was his maternal grandfather or his paternal grandfather.
  5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (script): Fred states that George's nose looks "positively massive" and is corrected that it is his - he says it is a family trait from Molly, implying that one of Molly's parents had a big nose too, though it is unknown as to which parents did.
