Early Life. The Weasley family had been cursed with misfortune generations ago, which led to poverty and misery. Molly and Arthur Weasley found a Seer who told them that they could break the curse if they had seven children and the last one was a witch.
But this poverty is created due to a limitation of magic creating a scarcity of resources such as food and other goods. As Rowling said in an interview “Something that you conjure out of thin air will not last.” (World Exclusive) If we posit a world where magic is limitless, families like the Weasleys would not exist.
Why didn't Harry Potter help the Weasleys financially?
This idea was incredibly embarrassing to him since Ron vehemently did not want to be cared for by his rich and famous best friend. This is precisely why Harry never tried to give the Weasleys money or give Ron lavish gifts - they didn't want pity.
While the Weasleys aren't known for their wealth, Fred and George first started turning a profit at school before using their talents for mischief to open Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
In the summer of 1993, Arthur Weasley won the Galleon draw, and received a prize of seven-hundred Galleons. He and his wife spent most of the gold on a month long summer holiday to Egypt to visit their son Bill, who worked there for Gringotts Wizarding Bank as a Curse-Breaker.

Who is the richest Harry Potter cast member?
Daniel Radcliffe
Only 10 years old at the time, Radcliffe went on to become one of the wealthiest children in the United Kingdom. He's also one of the wealthiest British actors today, out-earning his older colleagues by many millions.
Harry is the most obvious person to benefit from this. From the moment he met the Weasleys on platform nine and three-quarters, and Molly realised he needed caring for, he was one of them.
If Ron had gotten a replacement wand sooner, then the both of them would have lost their memories, and Ron's sister Ginny would have been left to die in the chamber. The same year, Ron's father Arthur Weasley subsequently purchased a new wand for him.
The Weasleys got the money for the shop from Harry Potter's un-wanted Triwizard Tournament winnings of 1,000 Galleons. Since Harry gave them their start-up loan, Fred and George allow him to help himself to whatever he wants, free of charge.
He was disgusted with their pure blood supremacy, their bullying of Muggle-borns and Blood traitors, their allegiance to Lord Voldemort and their disrespect to Albus Dumbledore, whom Hagrid was fiercely loyal to. In turn, the Malfoys disliked Hagrid, referring to him as an "oaf".
the malfoys hate the weasleys for two reasons : 1) their profound support for dumbledore order of the phoenix &and they were against dark lord ! 2) they unlike the malfoys were open to muggles being in the wizarding world ,they hated the fact that weasleys were friendly , supportive and loved the muggles .
No. You are sorted into a house based on what you value, not the traits you posses. Percy valued the Gryffindor traits and therefore was sorted into Gryffindor. But he (harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Percy WEASLEY) was also very brave, especially when he decided to come back to his family and during the battle of Hogwarts.
Now for the Malfoys. They had about 321,000,000 galleons, about 2.2 billion dollars, and 1.6 billion pounds. They were probably some of the richest families.
As Ilovecats13 and DelphianDragon said, James' father Fleamont quadrupled the family's gold by inventing Sleekeazy's Hair Potion (the same that Hermione used before the Yule Ball to tame her mane). The family fortune was passed down to James, their only child, and then onto Harry. Rowling wrote about it on Pottermore.
Bellatrix was born in 1951 to Cygnus Black III and Druella Rosier, who gave her a rich lifestyle and raised her to be proud of her pure-blood heritage. She was the elder sister of Andromeda and Narcissa Black.
The family had been prominent in the British wizarding world community for centuries, building wealth and renown through their influence within the Ministry of Magic. However, long before the Ministry was established, the Malfoys gained property and wealth through the Muggle royals.
Arthur Weasley also helped, albeit without the knowledge of his wife. Ron's plan called for the ghoul to take up residence in his room while he was away. It was Ron's hope that this would convince any Ministry officials or Death Eaters that he was seriously ill, since no wizard would risk getting close.
In the case of the Weasleys' attic, the ghoul is used as part of the ongoing illustration of the Weasley family's relative poverty; the idea, one supposes, is that rich families have house-elves to take care of them.
After the war. Following the end of the Second Wizarding War, Percy returned to the now-reformed Ministry of Magic, and became a high-ranking official under new Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt. Percy eventually married a woman named Audrey, and the couple had two daughters, Molly and Lucy.
