'''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]], who has expressed an interest in reprising the role in 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 and having a short black beard; her mother is a half-Veela named Apolline, from whom Fleur and her younger sister, [[Gabrielle Delacour|Gabrielle]], inherited their silvery-blonde hair, pale eyes, good looks, and ability to entrance men. Fleur's Veela heritage is never explicitly mentioned in the films. |
|||
Fleur's [[Wand#wands in fiction|wand]] is nine and a half inches, inflexible, and made of [[rosewood]]; as a core, it contains one of her [[Slavic fairies#Vila|Veela]] grandmother's hairs. |
|||
According to Rowling, Fleur's 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 The Black Lake, but fails. When [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry]] rescues Gabrielle instead, Fleur becomes much warmer towards both Harry and 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 area of the maze that he is watching (in the movie this is done by Krum controlled by Barty Crouch Jr). 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 fights against a group of [[Death Eaters]] in Hogwarts near the end of ''Half-Blood Prince''. He does not escape unscathed, as he is attacked by [[Werewolf (Harry Potter)|werewolf]] [[Fenrir Greyback]]. However, since Greyback is in his human form at the time of the attack, Bill suffers only partial [[lycanthropy]] contamination; according to [[Remus Lupin]], who is also a werewolf, this is not enough to cause actual transformations, though Bill apparently develops a liking for "extremely rare" steaks and is left with a deeply scarred face. The wedding plans, however, remained unchanged; Fleur declares that she doesn't mind the scars while criticizing the English for overcooking their meat in any case; this attitude gains 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 witness [[Mad Eye Moody]] being killed by Voldemort himself. They announce this to everyone else when they return to the Burrow, leaving everyone in shock. The couple have their wedding at the Burrow, and some guests include [[Luna Lovegood]] and her father, as well as [[Viktor Krum]], who was a fellow Tri-Wizard Champion along with Fleur and Harry. Death Eaters attack at the wedding reception, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione flee. The newlyweds later provide safe haven for the trio and for [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Dean Thomas]], [[Ollivander]], and [[Griphook]] in Shell Cottage, their home, after the refugees narrowly escape [[Malfoy Manor]]. Both Bill and Fleur are combatants for the Order of the Phoenix during the Battle of Hogwarts, and both survive the battle. They go on to have several children, the oldest of whom, a daughter named Victoire, is seen to be involved with [[Teddy Lupin]] in the epilogue of the final book.<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?
