He is a great dad! And i love Mark Williams. Plus Arthur is one of the few dads that actually survives the hp series.

Awww, I love Arthur. He deserves to be on that list, he’s an awesome dad in the books and Mark Williams (though not exactly looking like I envision Arthur) portrays him wonderfully. I am so glad JKR didn’t kill Arthur in OotP. He’s one of my favourite characters.

My dad is exactly like him, it’s so crazy. In the mannerisms, humor, parenting style, and everything. And just like Mr. Weasley is obsessed with Muggles, my dad has this random obsession with trains and no one understands it, and he has these moments that Mr. Weasley would have. Like the other day, he was walking through Home Depot with me and started playing with all the light switches on display and was fasinated by them. All my friends call him Mr. Weasley, XD (That’s also why I post as Sarah Weasley on here, fyi. hehe)

So in a way, have Mr. Weasley for a dad. You rock Mr. Weasley! (the character verison too of course XD)
