PLAYED BY: Julie Walters
MARITAL STATUS/OCCUPATION: Married/housewife
MATERNAL QUALITY WE ADMIRE: Warmth. Mother of seven kids — eight, if you include Harry Potter, whom she practically adopts — Molly Weasley is first presented as the harried but highly efficient manager of a large household. As more details are revealed we understand that she, in fact, is a witch of exceptional strength. Author J.K. Rowling says that Molly’s to-the-death battle with the evil Bellatrix Lestrange in the final book and film represents the triumph of maternal love over obsessive love.
