I always thought Percy was an important part of the books. He showed the bad side of Gryffindor. Conviction and stubbornness might be heroic traits, but they can be antagonistic as well.

[@gooby214]

Cormac McLaggen, James Potter, and teen Sirius Black (the later having took the most merciless karma) also showed the bad side of Gryffindor. Cormac himself was created with the specific purpose of representing the stereotypical Gryffindor by reputation. A stubborn, dumb, and self-righteous jock who thinks his strength makes him better than everyone else. And James too was an obnoxious immature bully jock and troublemaker spoiled by his own parents. He still was a jerk as an adult too, just not too much, getting in trouble with muggle police and being a prideful manchild with Vernon during his own wedding. Well, Pettigrew was a Gryffindor too, but he's a special case with some serious mental issues and a failed Gryffindor who wasted his own potentials.

[@TheDeathmail]

@@gooby214 You may say that James was a jerk... but you need to remember that Snape was apparently equally bad. Also, Snape was a racist who wanted to join a terrorist organization with the goal of killing MILLIONS of innocents... and the boy did that openly.... James was a troublemaker sure... but he was actually a nice guy who protected and befriended kids who'd easily get bullied. The person he was mean to was a jerk who was proud of wanting to kill innocent lives... And Percy wasn't really an antagonist... if you think about it, a lot of his situation actually wasn't fully his fault.... he didn't trust Harry, sure... but his family members nearly died because of Harry multiple times. And his family didn't give him the respect he deserved...

[@SilentHotdog28]

@@gooby214 Yeah my opinion of James (and to a lesser degree Lily) slipped near the end of the story where Snape's memory reveals what they were really like. James was an insufferable bully and the rest of the marauders were sheep who did the same. Snape didn't exactly make things easy on himself by being so secretive and wanting to become a death eater and all that. But they should have left him alone. Then Snape hurt Lily by calling her a mudblood and ending their friendship.

[@anayabindal3544]

Honestly, I know he’s so hated, but I feel like his success was ignored and he kinda was a bit bitter about that.

That's not true at all. His success wasn't ignored he was just rubbing it in. It's like yeah cool youre successful but don't show off. That's why Fred and George picked on him.

[@Demowan]

He was not a bad person, but a frustrated one. It's the kind of person who can be very dangerous in time of crisis, as we see during the Ministry's campaign against Harry and Dumbledore. He's a type that can make wrong choices out of cowardice or stubborness.

he changed and I think the family the entire family needed him. I see Bill as the oldest uncle the one you can turn to if you have a problem he can help. Charlie the uncle who can take you places and show you animals. Percy is the strict uncle but he means well because he wants you to be balanced, George is the funny uncle or the big softie or lets you get away with anything, Ron is the uncle who has been there and done that, can show you how to be your own person and Ginny she is the maternal relative who is helpful and sporty.

PERCY is the one who decided that the ministry full of egotistical morons was right, and that his entire family AND harry WHO SAVED PERCY'S SISTER were wrong. He didn't even go visit his father after Nagini bit him, even though he could have died he didn't even bother go and visit him.

@@cityman2312 you really don't like Hermione, do you? "Authorial Fiat"? True, authors do make stuff up. But, Fiat? Come on . That's why they're authors. They write, they weave a story. They're not real people, they're characters. That said, Hermione had genuine friends. I will grant you that she & Percy are both quite pedantic about the rules & regulations & nobody likes that. However, Percy was certainly not her "only" naturally occurring friend within the Harry Potter saga after their conversation with the during hat.And, she was surely not friendless based on the author's intent or design throughout the series. She may have similarities with Percy based on intellect, book-learning, adherence to the rules, etc... But, your calculation about the character's personality is subjective & unwarranted. (BTW, initially, I read Hermione much along the same lines. In a lot of the early books she comes across as annoying & fuddy-duddy. I wanted to punch her in some scenes in the book. But, upon subsequent readings I gave her a leeway, and came to realize her as a character in her own right. Not as an extension of me, or any reader, but as her own character.

[@anonymous._.7442]

I don’t think Percy is a bad guy at all. For his entire life, all of his siblings would relentlessly make fun of him whenever he accomplished anything and was the butt of many jokes. Sure, he was full of himself and had no trouble showing off, but I think that was more an attempt to impress his family who he could never seem to make proud of him. And then, when he was fresh out of Hogwarts, he got a job at the ministry. And, rather than being happy for him, his entire family couldn’t have been any less interested in anything he was doing. And then, in GoF, Harry comes back with the body of his dead classmate after the maze. Literally no one saw what happened except for Harry, and Harry’s story honestly sounds kind of ridiculous if you weren’t there with him. So, it doesn’t shock me that before OotP, Percy sided with the ministry instead of his family (after they had also told him that he didn’t actually deserve his job, the ministry just wanted to spy on the Weasley’s, which was probably true but that’s a really hurtful thing to hear your family say). And then there was the letter that Percy sent to Ron, telling him to stay away from Harry. Now, obviously, Percy does care about his siblings. In CoS, he was the one that noticed something was wrong with Ginny and comforted her. So, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t want his little brother to hang around with someone who’s almost gotten him killed numerous times (Philosophers Stone, CoS, and then he thought Harry disobeyed rules in GoF and put out his name in the gof, and then he thought he was lying about Voldemort’s return). Obviously, it wasn’t a good thing to send but I can see where he’s coming from. After OotP, Percy still doesn’t come back to his family because he was understandably embarrassed (his biggest mistake was that he didn’t immediately apologize), but, in HBP, when Percy comes to the Burrow with Scrimgeour (he was obviously being used by Scrimgeour at that point to get to Harry’s whereabouts), the twins threw food at him (which yeah he deserved but he’s obviously not going to go apologize after that greeting). But, in DH, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Percy comes back and apologizes for everything and he admits that he was in the wrong and proceeds to fight alongside his family during the battle. And it was because of Percy that Fred Weasley died laughing. It was also Percy that cried over Fred’s dead body and shielded it from all of the fighting. It was Percy that didn’t leave Fred’s side until Harry helped him move the body somewhere safe. And it was also Percy that hunted down and killed the death eater that murdered Fred. Sorry for going on a rant, but I feel like Percy’s an overhated character (especially when half the fandom simps for Draco, who never apologized for anything he did).

Even though Percy might seem like a douchebag sometimes when he favors laws over friends and family, but you have to admit he's a good guy. For example, how much he cares about Ginny when she was in the chamber of secrets or when Ron was in the water in the Tri-wizard tournament Percy wouldn't let go of him until he was wrapped in a blanket. He just wants to have a successful career and he cares about his family and friends a lot even though it might not seem like it. He was blinded by how happy he was that he got his dream job that he did anything to protect that title, even if it meant neglecting his parents. He didn't understand fully how much suffering his actions were causing his family. This is later proven when he starts feeling shame for what he has done.

I feel like Percy shouldn't get As much hate that he's getting. He was just trying to do what he thought was best, he wanted to prove that he was worthy of his parents attention. I think Percy was just trying to get the approval of his father and the others. He was the third oldest child, and quickly after him Fred and George were born, I feel like When George and Fred were born he stopped getting alot of attention since Molly and Arthur would be focussed on the twins then Ron then finally Ginny. Molly would've thought the older three could look after themselves leaving Percy in the shadows and to try to live up to Bill and Charlie who set massive expectations for the weasley since they did alot of important things. He got jealous quickly when Ron came best friends with Harry and got upset when his parents got proud at Ron for doing something Percy thought was stupid yet showed little attention when he did stuff he thought was worthy of attention from his parents. So with many siblings who caught his parents attention, he looked for attention from others of a higher rank and became snobbish. But he loves his siblings, he loved his family but he just wanted the attention he never got. The love for his family was clear in this video. Percy was the boy who never got the attention he craved. So yeah I don't believe Percy should be hated, everything he did was what he thought was best. He learnt to be a better person, and devolved into a great person. He had a massive character growth something some lack. Percy grew into a great husband and father and brother. He partly blamed himself for Fred's death and was mad at himself for not spending so much time with his brother. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to be what his parents wanted him to be. He looked for others approval instead of his own, so he went with the ministry instead of his parents- thinking maybe if he got a really good job then he could make his parents proud and help them- maybe his father could retire. Percy turned into a powerful person going through a massive rollercoaster of emotions. If he didn't go through all that then maybe things would of been different and he would of gone to his brothers wedding and helped his family. Overall there's alot more depth that I think goes to Percy then that he was just a snobbish brat who betrayed his family. He's just a boy trying to make his parents proud and prove he's as good as his siblings.

What the heck? He was being teased, not bullied. Molly and Arthur loves him as much as every one of his siblings, they were always proud of his achievements.

They bought him new robes and an owl at a time when Ron was starting at Hogwarts and their money wasn't really flowing. The twins likes teasing him because that's what they do to show their affection (Fred even teased him about his "joke" right before he dies). Ron doesn't like him cause he's too uptight and always talks about rules and policies, but he loves him just as much. So is Ginny. So is his 2 older brothers. Percy receives love and support from his family, it's just that he wants more than that. Stop making the Weasley's look bad.

I mean, his brothers were ashamed of him not for his defects but for his achievements. That is really messed up. Also, people seem to forget smug Percy was just an act. He showed several times he cared deeply about his family. He was probably the most affected when Ginny was kidnapped. He was damn proud of Ron when he beat McGonagall's chess trial (btw Ron also doesn't get enough credit for that). He didn't give a damn about protocol when Ron was rescued from the lake. Every time Gryffindor won at something he let go of his self imposed dignity to join the celebrations. Dunno why, but all my dislike for Percy seemed to shift towards the twins as I grew up, especially Fred.

He is a pretty solid case of an emotional abuse victim, before he started his job at the ministry, do to how his father and younger brothers treated him... it sucks how his actions affected the other members of his family so negatively, but if I had a personal goal that high, I can't say I wouldn't do the same.

Really if you consider the traits that most of the weasleys show they would have been more hufflepuff rather than gryffindor, with ginny and percy belonging to slytherin with how percy had all that ambition and ginny was cunny with a good amount of ambition. but "The sorting hat takes the preferences of the person into account."

Percy is a mix between good and bad. He certainly showed that Gryffindor has a bad side, with his stubbornness, but he simply wanted to be successful. He didn't visit his father after being bit by Nagini, but I feel for Percy. Whenever he tried to mention his accomplishments, he was openly mocked by all his siblings for it, and when Percy was prefect, people made fun of him, while Fred and George didn't openly mock Ron about it. Another thing is, when he started to build up a love life, only Ginny knew and he deeply trusted her with that secret, but she spilled it to the rest of the family, (Except his parents) I love the Weasleys so much, and all equally, and the family drama with Percy made the books and movies 10× better

[@DrsJacksonn]

I feel kinda bad for him for being shit on so much by everyone while all he's doing is studying and working hard.

[@digitalgloop12]

Yeh but he was an obnoxious prick about his achievements. His older brothers were just as successful academically and they were not teased or taunted because they weren't uptight, egocentric pricks about it. And he turned on his family after his father, rather reasonably imo, said that he was promoted to his position of assistant to the Minister for Magic in order to spy on his family. In the end, his dad was right as once he cut off contact with his family, he was little more than an errand boy for the Minister. And while the twins sometimes took it a bit too far, some degree of teasing and harassing is is normal among siblings. It certainly didnt help that he was an obnoxious know-it-all who often belittled and was ashamed of his own family. I pity him, but a lot of his strife is self-inflicted. Kid's ultimately a jackass for a great deal of the story.

[@therealspookspeak]

......and he abandoned his family just for "promotion"

[@AdeptKing]

@@digitalgloop12 I certainly wouldn't blame him for being pissed at his dad for saying that. Yes his dad was right and yes Percy had a big ego but still.

No that does not justify how he abandoned his family for two-three years though.

[@anemu3819]

He probably asked like harry because his whole family was in gryffindor

[@cookiecat1067]

I like to think it was because he was already insecure about not being accepted in the Weasley household as much as his siblings were, so he asked/begged for the hat to put him there. But realistically, as much as I hate to say it, it was probably the Gryffindor bias.

[@suheyla6704]

All slytherins is’nt bad and all gryffindors are is’nt perfect;)

[@1993digifan]

If you paid attention to the books you would know that the Hat sorts them by what they VALUE NOT what they HAVE, so if at 11 Percy valued the Gryff traits and not the Slyth ones that's where he would be put. And if even at age 11 he felt like he didn't belong with the rest of the Weasleys and didn't want to give them another reason to torment him he would have begged for the hat to put him Gryffindor instead of any other house where he might have been happier.

[@nicole-gw1ok]

maybe because hes weasley

[@lilchromozome]

I feel like he was put in Gryfindor not because of his parents and brothers but because deep down he had tons of courage and bravery but it would become buried beneath ambition and hard work, and after he lost his job when Fudge was sacked his ambitions dropped and he came back to help his family.

[@hidan407]

Don’t think there should be a bias of Percy being the worst weasley. He was bullied, overlooked and out of place with the rest of his family.

[@jaleesagreene6800]

@Anne Day Seems to me Percy's biggest mistake was not blindly believing Dumbledore and Harry about Voldemort being back. And then being insulted by his father for getting a promotion. Which he still kept even after leaving the family. So that disproves Arthur theory for why he got the promotion. Frankly the Weasleys put Harry and Dumbledore before their actual kid.

[@nont18411]

Jaleesa Greene That’s what I’m saying. Ron already has his feeling of inferiority when he’s around with his two best friends (he think he’s not as clever as Hermione, not as skillful or famous like Harry) that’s why he got jealous of Harry about triwizard thing and had a row with Harry for a while (but he apologize afterward). I’m not saying he did the right thing but I understand his flaw. After all, he’s the one (along with Neville) who stand up against Voldemort to protect Harry’s reputation.
