Everyone please join us in raising your glass for a well-mannered toast to Percy Weasley who, as the calendar of J. K. Rowling’s website now indicates, celebrates his birthday on August 22nd. Happy Birthday, Percy! Cheers!
Here’s to Percy Weasley, Mister Percy Weasley, we’re glad to know you’re still hanging about! You’re ever so charming, your intelligence alarming, what a joy it is to have you as an example to point out!
((With all due respect and admiration to Peeved!))
Happy Birthday, Perce! Good luck in your future pompousness! Haha, just kidding. I actually DO like Percy, though he was pretty annoying throughout the majority of the series. I still love that part from Prisoner of Azkaban where the Weasleys meet Harry again where it goes (directly taken from the book):
Percy, however, held out his hand solemnly as though he and Harry had never met and said, “Harry. How nice to see you.”
“Hello, Percy,” said Harry, trying not to laugh.
“I hope you’re well?” said Percy pompously, shaking hands. It was rather like being introduced to the mayor.
“Very well, thanks—”
“Harry! said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. “Simply SPLENDID to see you, old boy—”
“Marvelous,” said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry’s hand in turn. “Absolutely spiffing.”
Percy scowled
“That’s enough, now,” said Mrs. Weasley.
“Mum!” said Fred as though he’d only just spotted her and seizing her hand too. “How really corking to see you—”
“I said, that’s enough,” said Mrs. Weasley, depositing her shopping in an empty chair.
Every time I read that, I crack up, but it also reminds me how much I miss Fred :(. But anyway, Happy Birthday Percy ;)
That was jolly fast, Edward!
