'''Fleur Isabelle Delacour''' is a [[fictional character]] in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' book series written by [[J. K. Rowling]]. A student of [[Beauxbatons|Beauxbatons Academy]] in [[France]], Fleur is a talented witch. She first appears in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', when she is selected as a champion in the prestigious [[Triwizard Tournament]]. She reappears in ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''. Fleur is one-quarter [[Slavic fairies#Vila|Veela]], so she, while fully magical, is not [[Blood purity (Harry Potter)|pure-blood]]. |
|||
In [[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (movie)|the fourth film]] Delacour is played by [[Clémence Poésy]]. She has expressed an interest in reprising the role any future films that include her character.<ref name=poesy-newsround>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4430000/newsid_4436900/4436922.stm | date=[[2005-11-17]] | accessdate=2007-06-04|work=BBC Newsround | title=NR chats to GOF's Clemence Poesy}}</ref> |
|||
==Background== |
|||
Her father is a [[French people|Frenchman]] who is unnamed but described in the books as being round, with a short black beard; her mother is a half-Veela named Apolline, from whom she and her younger sister [[Gabrielle Delacour|Gabrielle]] inherited their silvery-blonde hair, pale eyes, good looks, and an ability to entrance men. Her Veela heritage is never explicitly mentioned in the films. |
|||
Fleur's [[Wand#wands in fiction|wand]] is nine and a half inches, inflexible, made of [[rosewood]] and contains one of her [[Slavic fairies#Vila|Veela]] grandmother's hairs. |
|||
According to Rowling, her name comes from the [[French language|French]] phrase ''fleur de la cour'', meaning "flower of the court" or "noblewoman". |
|||
===Role in the stories=== |
|||
[[Image:Fleurheadshot.jpg|150px|thumb|left|]] |
|||
Selected as one of the champions in the Triwizard Tournament for Beauxbatons, Fleur is initially aloof and unfriendly. During the second task of the Tournament she attempts to rescue her sister from [[Hogwarts#The Lake|The Black Lake]] but fails. When [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry]] rescues her instead, Fleur becomes much warmer towards both Harry and to Hogwarts in general. |
|||
Fleur takes last place in the Triwizard Tournament, due to disguised Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. stunning her when she passes by the the area of the maze he's watching. She later takes a job at [[Diagon Alley#Gringotts Wizarding Bank|Gringotts]], where she meets [[Bill Weasley]] (although in the fourth book, we see her eyeing Bill), to whom she becomes engaged, to the initial dismay of [[Molly Weasley|Mrs. Weasley]] and [[Ginny Weasley|Ginny]]. |
|||
Bill fought bravely in the first battle in Hogwarts which Fleur did not appear to fight in, near the end of ''Half-Blood Prince'',Bill did not escape unscathed, as he was attacked by [[Werewolf (Harry Potter)|werewolf]] [[Fenrir Greyback]]. However, since Greyback was in his human form at the time of the attack, Bill suffered only partial [[lycanthropy]] contamination; according to [[Remus Lupin]], who is also a werewolf, this was not enough to cause actual transformations, though Bill had apparently developed a liking for "extremely rare" steaks and was left with a deeply scarred face. The wedding plans, however, remained unchanged; Fleur declared that she didn't mind the scars while criticizing the English for overcooking their meat in any case; this attitude gained her a lot of respect from Bill's otherwise disapproving family, especially Mrs. Weasley. In ''The Deathly Hallows'' Fleur and Bill take part in getting Harry escorted safely to The Burrow and they witnessed [[Mad Eye Moody]] get killed by Voldemort himself and they announce this to everyone else when they return to the Burrow leading everyone into shock that Mad-Eye could even be killed. The couple have their wedding at the Burrow and some guests include [[Luna Lovegood]] and her father and also [[Viktor Krum]] who was a fellow Tri-Wizard Champion along with Fleur and Harry. Death Eaters attack at their wedding reception and Harry, Ron and Hermione flee. The newlyweds later provided safe haven for Harry, Ron, Hermione, [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Dean Thomas]], [[Ollivander]], and [[Griphook]] in [[Shell Cottage]] after they narrowly escaped Malfoy Manor. Both Bill and Fleur were combatants for the Order of the Phoenix during the second Battle of Hogwarts and both survived the battle and had numerous children.<ref name=wild-about-harry>{{cite news|url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959323/|date=[[2007-07-25]]|accessdate=2007-07-26|publisher=[[MSNBC]]|last=Brown|first=Jen|title=Finished Potter?
