She plans ahead.

She stays when things get dangerous.


But does that make her the best girlfriend anyone could ever have?


In this episode of Hero Files, Curie and Yeva explore Annabeth’s story—from running away at seven, to surviving monsters, broken promises, and terrifying prophecies. They talk about her loyalty, leadership, and the moments when being brave didn’t mean being fearless.


This isn’t just a story about romance.

It’s a story about trust, growing up, and standing by someone when everything goes wrong.


So… is Annabeth really the best girlfriend?

Or is she something even more important?

They’re pure-blood wizards who don’t believe pure-bloods are better.
They’re always short on money—but never short on love.
And somehow, they raised seven children who all ended up changing the wizarding world.

From Molly Weasley, the ultimate wizarding mom, to Arthur’s love of all things Muggle, to the seven very different Weasley kids (and their many grandchildren), this episode explores what really makes a family strong.

In this episode, we talk about:
 • Why the Weasleys were called “blood traitors”
 • Molly Weasley’s fierce love and bravery
 • Arthur Weasley’s curiosity about Muggles
 • Every Weasley child—from Bill to Ginny
 • Loss, laughter, and standing up for what’s right

This isn’t just a list of characters—it’s a story about loyalty, kindness, and choosing love over power.

New episodes coming soon!
