I was just reading something and I believe this is where JK got her idea that the Weasleys all have to be crackheaded Dark Arts hating retards (especially Ron who is coincidentally called weasel by Malfoy)
The Aberdeen Beastiary c. 1594
Of the basilisk
The basilisk's name in Greek, translated into Latin, regulus, means 'little king'. It is so called because it is the king of crawling things, who flee when they see it, because it kills them with its scent. It will even kill a man just by looking at him. Indeed, no bird can fly past unharmed by its gaze but, however far away, will be burnt up and devoured in its mouth. The basilisk can be conquered by weasels. Men put them into the caves where the basilisks lie hidden. The basilisk, seeing the weasel, flees; the weasel pursues and kills it. For the Creator has made nothing without a remedy. The basilisk is half-a-foot in length, with white stripes.

Heh, they don't need a reason to be morons though. The most likely explanation is inbreeding, but thats just me...

Very little of what she's written had any sort of major thought put into it. Name ppl after stars, flowers, anagrams, come up with a weird twist to boy much kill old man wizard.
I dunno if thats where she got Weasleys, but it could be a good choice, after all she did get Sirius' brother's name out of the quote.

You knwo we're a little harsh on JK about everything, and we have become somewhat fanatical about killing the weasley, think we all need to tart reading stories bout how harry loves and admores the weasleys, how he gets married to beatiful ginny, and harry and hermione pronounce that they are brother and sisters in everything but blood. Doesn't that sound great

the dots or the quote? :twisted:
Not all the Weasleys are retards, Fred and George, and Bill [in HBP] seem all right. Ron is a jealous thick-headed Gryffindor, so it can't be helped, but then he is the sixth son. Ginny-no comment.

Well of course Bill is alright... I don't think JKR could possibly make a curse-breaking, veela-fucking, tall guy ith good hair NOT at least "alright."
But of course I am probably giving her to much credit... I predict that in book 7 Bill and Ron start having a gay-incest affair while Harry, Hermione, and Ginny make love in front of Voldemort: Killing him from the agony of the sight of a guy screwing a girl who never went through puberty, and another one with a book stuck inside her.
Or maybe thats just the ending of one of my S&P stories... I get confused sometimes.

hmm, come to think of it he MUST be good if she puts up with his mother and sister. I, for reasons unknown, like Charlie and twins best, and one may hope that she won't do anything stupid with them as they're considered second-plan characters.
