The Weasleys
In a world populated by hippogriffs and thestrals, the Weasleys offer a bit of a picket-fence normality. The ginger-haired wizarding family's home is a sanctuary for Harry Potter, the orphaned protagonist of J.K. Rowling's best-selling novels, and brims with clutter, warmth and a slew of other stereotypes of cozy domesticity. Father Weasley, Arthur, is the somewhat eccentric, ever cheerful patriarch; his wife, Molly, is the apron-wearing matron, constantly bustling around, hugging and scolding in equal measure. Their seven children all play a role in the Harry Potter series — including Ron, Harry's brotherly companion, and Ginny, Harry's romantic one. Readers — and viewers of the movies spawned by the books — have to put up with Harry's frequent bouts of melancholy and self-pity over not having a family of his own, but the Weasleys more than make up for it.
