Talk:Percy Weasley

Name

Dammit! His full name is Percival! Percy is not a name! That belongs on his page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.22.84.93 (talk • contribs).

Recent revision

I reverted the edits here because the article was promoted to FA status on the strength of the current revision. I do not believe that removing almost 7,000 bytes of information is helpful. - Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 07:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Marriage

Where in the books said he gets married to some girl named Audery? And had 2 girls named Molly and Lucy? What happeped to Penelope Clearwater?--HallieryElizabeth 02:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

JK Rowling released in the information in the TV special - J.K. Rowling, A Year in the Life. It's also on her website. - Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 08:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Horn-Rimmed glasses?

Isn't he supposed to have horn-rimmed glasses? In the books that's how J.K. described him, or did I read wrong?

Family dispute

The first paragraph from the Family dispute section, specifically the last two sentences, borrows quite liberally from the 5th book. I'm no copyright guru but I think that needs reworded or be quoted directly from the book. --Wrightek 13:27, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Year born?

I'm somewhat confused about Percy's age. J.K. Rowling stated that Bill is the eldest, Charlie is two years younger than Bill, Percy is three years younger than Charlie, Fred and George are two years younger than Percy, Ron is two years younger than Fred and George and Ginny is a year younger than Ron. We know Ron is born the same year as Harry which is 1980. But how come on this website and every other website, Percy appears to be four years younger than Charlie (Percy being born in 1976, Charlie in 1972). But shouldn't Charlie be 1973 and Bill 1971. I'm confused. Am I missing something here or has Rowling made an error? Please reply via my talk page! --RandomEnigma 21:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Good point. It even has the same bithdates over on the HP Lexicon. Of course, numbers and dates never were JKR's strong suit. - Nick O'Demus 23:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Just remembered, Percy was born 8/22, which was right before the September 1st deadline. So he just barely slipped in being three years behind Charlie at Hogwarts instead of four. - Nick O'Demus 23:57, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, She even said math was not her strong point. ha --Profiteor ^{(Owl Me)} 23:57, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Apparition

Was Percy late in passing his Apparition test? Wizards can take the test once they turn 17 (which for Percy, like Harry, is between his 6th and 7th year), yet he only passed the test in the summer after his 7th year. Presumably there would have been at least one (possibly two) test dates after his 17th birthday and before the end of his 7th year - The summer test date after 6th year (equivalent to the one Harry would have taken) and the ~easter one during his 7th year (equivalent to the one Hermione and Ron took in their 6th). 87.114.144.65 21:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

He may not have wanted to take his test until later. Doesn't really sound like him, but it's a possibility.--Matoro183 ^(Talk) 21:30, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

A loophole in Rowlings story?

In the Chamber of Secrets Percy takes five house points off Gryffindor because Ron accuses him of simply telling him off for going into a girls toilet because it might damage his reputation. But then in the Order of the Phoenix Hermione says that if the inquisitorial squad set up by Umbridge could take away house points it would completely undermine the prefect system, as though prefects could not take away house points. Can anyone explain?- JACOBSMITH95

This was a mistake on JKR's part. She later explained that prefects do have the ability to take points, just not from other prefects. --Cubs Fan2007 ^{(Talk to me)} 22:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, - JACOBSMITH95

Why is he considered a traitor? He was wrong about Voldemort coming back, alright, but that doesn't mean the Weaselys had to get in an immense fight with him. Shieldmaiden(talk) 22:18, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Nationality of actor

Hi, I saw in the article about Percy Weasley that Chris Rankin is called a british actor. But on the site of Chris Rankin you can read under nationality: New Zealander. Is a New Zealander a British? Commonwealth - yes, but british? It may be, but I don't know. Harry granger 21:39, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

No, New Zealanders are New Zealanders, or Kiwis. jk. --JKoch^{(Owl Me!)} 21:50, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
