A Weasley jumper is a home-made jumper owned by members of the Weasley family. They are made by Molly Weasley for family and friends and sent as Christmas gifts. They usually vary in colour, but often have the recipient's first initial on the front.^[2] Fred and George seem to enjoy them, calling them "lovely and warm," but Ron dislikes the fact that his jumper is always maroon.^[2]

Beginning in 1991, Harry Potter also began receiving an annual Weasley jumper. His were usually much more extravagant, including one with the picture of a Hungarian Horntail.^[3]

In 1992 Ginny Weasley owned a jumper that the cat was wearing.

In 1994, Ron Weasley gave his jumper to Dobby the house elf, who was overjoyed by it.

In 1995, Percy Weasley, whom had broken contact with the family following Voldemort's return, returned his jumper to Molly unopened.

In 2017, Hermione Granger, whilst on the Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, asked her daughter, Rose Weasley whether she had her jumper or not.
