“Mrs. Weasley was marching across the yard, scattering chickens, and for a short, plump, kind-faced woman, it was remarkable how much she looked like a saber-toothed tiger.”
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Molly Weasley is the fourth block in the Order of the Phoenix C2C Crochet Afghan. Molly Weasley is a boss! I love the no-nonsense, slightly harassed way she runs her household. It is obvious that her family is all-important to her. She fusses over her sons and daughter when they are at home and worries about them when they are gone. She is not shy about disciplining them, going so far as to send Ron a highly embarrassing howler during his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And Molly takes Harry Potter under her wing and loves him as one of her own sons.
Although we don’t see into Molly Weasley’s life while her children are at school, we do know that she is one of the best cooks Harry knows, she knits homemade sweaters, and she sends thoughtful care packages at the holidays. Maybe I like her so much because those are things I like to do as well, though I crochet instead of knit. Molly is also more than magically proficient (spoiler), besting even Bellatrix Lestranges.
