J.K. Rowling not killing Arthur Weasley in the books might not have been a good idea!
It’s that time of the year again when we discuss the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Penned by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter books were something iconic that changed the genre of magic and spells. The faithful film adaptations added more charm to the books and made Rowling worldwide famous.
With iconic characters Harry, Ron, and, Hermione on a quest to save the world, the characters were quite phenomenal in their own way. Well…most of them. Ron Weasely, portrayed by Rupert Grint, could have been more than a third-wheel but it was Rowling’s emotional choice that saved Ron Weasely from trauma (and character development)!
When JK Rowling Didn’t Kill This Important Character In The Books!
Before you continue to read this article, we have a little disclaimer for you. In no way do we hate Arthur Weaselt (the father of the Weasely family). We love him with all our hearts since he is one of the only wizards who was fascinated with the muggle side of the world.
Now that we have this out of the way, let’s talk about Arthur Weasley. Being the father of seven children collectively called The Weasleys, Arthur Weasley worked at the Ministry of Magic before hell broke loose. Portrayed by Mark Williams, the world loved watching Weasley stand up for his family and fall in love with muggle things every day.
Being an integral character in the storyline, it was revealed by J.K. Rowling that she had originally considered killing off Arthur Weasley in the books! As per a report via ScreenRant, Rowling considered killing off the Weasely dad. However, since the death would have had a devastating impact on the mental sanity of Ron Weasely, Rowling considered the idea otherwise.
Instead of killing off Arthur Weasley, she compensated by killing Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin to keep Rupert Grint’s character safe from trauma. Here’s where the opinions deviate.
