Fleur Delacour arrives at Hogwarts as the most admired champion in the Triwizard Tournament and the most underestimated. Almost everyone judges her by her looks. The books quietly show a brave, proud witch who, when it matters, is fiercely loyal, and who never apologizes for being proud.

Who she is

She is a student at Beauxbatons Academy in France, and arrives at Hogwarts with her school for the Tournament (Goblet of Fire, ch. 15). Her grandmother was a Veela, and her wand has one of her grandmother's hairs at its core (ch. 18). She speaks English with a strong accent, which the Weasleys are slow to take seriously. The Goblet of Fire picks her as her school's champion in ch. 16, right after Krum. Her younger sister is Gabrielle.

Key moments

  • Goblet of Fire, ch. 20: in the first task, she lulls the dragon with a spell so she can get past it.
  • Goblet of Fire, ch. 26: in the second task, the grindylows attack her and she never reaches her sister. Harry rescues Gabrielle for her.
  • Half-Blood Prince, ch. 29: in the hospital wing, after Greyback's attack on Bill, she says she will marry him no matter what, and Mrs. Weasley changes her mind about her.
  • Deathly Hallows, ch. 8: she marries Bill Weasley at the Burrow, in a wedding that ends with the arrival of the Death Eaters.
  • Deathly Hallows, ch. 25: Bill and Fleur's house by the sea is Harry and his friends' refuge after the escape from Malfoy Manor.

Relationships

With Bill, a love that withstands the worst. With Gabrielle, total protectiveness. With Mrs. Weasley and Ginny, a relationship that starts cold and becomes solid. With Harry and Ron, a gratitude that shows when Harry rescues her sister.

What almost nobody notices

In Goblet of Fire (ch. 26), Fleur hugs and kisses Harry to thank him for saving her sister, even though she herself was knocked out of the task. There is no grudge or rivalry in the gesture.

And in Half-Blood Prince (ch. 29), when people wonder whether Bill will be the same after the attack, Fleur answers that she has beauty enough for both of them. That line wins over Mrs. Weasley, who had eyed her warily until then.
