Revision as of 04:32, 21 June 2014
Prewett is the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. They are related to the Black, Weasley, and Macmillan families.[2] With the deaths of Fabian and Gideon in the First Wizarding War[3], the Prewett family became extinct in the male line[4], though it continues in the female line through the children of Molly Weasley née Prewett.
Some members of the Prewett family would likely be labelled "blood traitors", as they were members of the Order of the Phoenix and did not believe in the ideology of blood purity. However, the attitude of the prejudiced House of Black towards the Prewetts suggests that not all members would be considered blood traitors. Lucretia Black was not disowned for marrying Ignatius Prewett,[2] implying that the Prewetts were more accepted in elite pure-blood circles than a family like the Weasleys.
Distinctive family traits include red hair[5] and large noses.[6]
It is unknown whether Molly's second cousin (a squib accountant) is a Pure-blood or not; he could have a muggle mother.
Family Members
- Mr. Prewett — father of Molly, Gideon and Fabian

- Fabian Prewett — member of the First Order of the Phoenix, brother of Molly and Gideon
- Gideon Prewett — member of the First Order of the Phoenix, brother of Molly and Fabian

Possible Relations
- Bilius — a brother or brother-in-law of Molly Weasley née Prewett
- An uncle of the Weasley children who attended Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding in 1997, he may be a brother of Molly Weasley née Prewett, or one of her brothers-in-law.
- Muriel's mother is a grandmother of Molly and her brothers because Muriel is their aunt, and a sister of one of their parents.
- Muriel — an aunt of Molly Weasley née Prewett, thus a sister or sister-in-law to Mr. or Mrs. Prewett. While Muriel is Molly's aunt, and thus related to the family, it is not confirmed as to whether she is a Prewett.
- Tessie — a great-aunt of Ron Weasley and his siblings.[8] She might be an aunt of Molly's or of Arthur's. If the former is the case, then Tessie is related to the family, although it would not be certain that she was a Prewett.

- Molly Weasley's second cousin - Squib accountant
- Mafalda - Molly's second cousin once removed

Etymology
The surname Prewett is Welsh in origin. It is derived from the Middle English word prou, meaning "brave" or "valiant", and the suffix "-et", which implies smallness. Thus, it is believed to be derived from a nickname for someone small, but brave.[10]

- ↑ Sirius Black stated in Ch. 6 of Order of the Phoenix 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. 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.
