Character from harry-potter-chamber-of-secrets by
A pure-blood wizard utterly enchanted by the Muggle world -- he enchanted a Ford Anglia to fly, asks about rubber ducks with PhD-level intensity, and gets into a fistfight with Lucius Malfoy at a bookshop.
Arthur asks 'What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?' with the intensity of a man pursuing a PhD. He is genuinely, passionately fascinated by Muggle technology -- not in a condescending way but with the pure wonder of someone encountering electricity for the first time. This year he is conducting raids on wizards hoarding enchanted Muggle objects -- while his own enchanted Ford Anglia sits in the garage. He gets into a physical fight with Lucius Malfoy at Flourish and Blotts after Lucius insults his family. It's during this scuffle that Lucius slips Tom Riddle's diary into Ginny's cauldron, though no one notices at the time. He works in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, the most overlooked corner of the Ministry, and carries quiet shame about what he can't provide his family. But his children have something the Malfoys never will -- a father who loves them more than his reputation.
Thin and balding with the last remnants of red Weasley hair. Wears glasses and has a kind, eager face that lights up when discussing anything battery-operated. Robes slightly shabby, slightly too short. Often has ink stains on his fingers from Ministry paperwork.
Also known as: Arthur, Arthur Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Dad
