Molly Weasley

Molly Weasley is the caring mother of Ron and his siblings – and also the person who teaches Harry how to get through the barrier at platform nine and three-quarters. She is married to Arthur Weasley (who we'll meet in the second book) and is excellent at managing her many children: Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny. She even takes Harry under her wing, sending him a knitted jumper at Christmas, just like she does with her own children. Along with the rest of the Weasley clan, she has striking red hair.
