This week for the These Dads Are Doing It Right series I am showcasing some good dads in the world of Harry Potter. These characters are fathers or father figures that look to help different characters in certain moments in the Harry Potter books. In addition, if there are any other dads that you think we should check out, leave their name and info in the comment section below.
Great Dads In The World Of Harry Potter
Arthur Weasley
Arthur Weasley is a pure-blood wizard. He has a large family and loves his family unconditionally. He works really hard at his job over at the Ministry of Magic. In addition, Arthur is a member of the second Order of the Phoenix. He leads by example because he believes that magical and Muggle people can live together in harmony. Plus he makes Harry Potter feel right at home when Harry would stay with the Weasleys.
Sirius Black
This one is a no-brainer. Sirius was someone who Harry looked at as a bridge to his parents. Once he learned more about Sirius, Harry felt like there was a family member out there that really cared for him. Therefore he could live with him and not have to go to his aunt and uncle’s house. In addition if Sirius didn’t die, Harry could have learned more about his parents.
Hagrid
Hagrid has been seen as a father figure to Harry especially in the early years. In addition, he is not just acting like a father to Harry, but I believe to Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley as well. Hagrid is always looking out for those three. He always has certain messages for them. Plus, he looks to give them animals that will help them out in their journeys.
Albus Dumbledore
Albus Dumbledore serves as a significant father figure to Harry, offering mentorship, guidance, and unwavering belief in him. Dumbledore is offering advice, answering his questions, and guiding him through difficult situations. Yet there are times where Albus doesn’t give Harry all the answers. He gives him some tough love at times to make sure Harry can use his own skills and intelligence to learn how to navigate all the ups and downs of life.
