Gabrielle Delacour

Template:HP Character Foreign Gabrielle Delacour is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series of books.

She is a student at the French wizarding school Beauxbatons and is the younger sister of their Triwizard Tournament champion Fleur Delacour. Her age in The Goblet of Fire is estimated by Harry to be no older than eight years old, which would mean that she was probably born around 1986.

Like her sister Fleur, Gabrielle is actually partly non-human; their grandmother was a Veela.

During the Triwizard Tournament, in which Fleur was the champion for Beauxbatons, Gabrielle was chosen along with Cho Chang, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, to be the underwater "bait" for the champions to rescue. Fleur did not manage to rescue Gabrielle in time, but luckily Harry Potter had already saved her. This incident obviously had a large effect on Gabrielle, because in the Half-Blood Prince, she is described as having something of a crush on Harry, rather like the one a younger Ginny Weasley had.
