Fleur Delacour is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series of books.

Fleur is from France, though she is capable of speaking fluent English, albeit with a strong accent. She's approximately three years Harry's senior, which would place her birth on 1977. Her highly beautiful looks start off in stark contrast to a arrogant and snooty attitude.

Her name comes from the French phrase fleur de la cour, meaning "flower of the court" or, according to J. K. Rowling, "noblewoman."

It has been declared that a French actress named Clemence Poesy has been cast as Fleur for the fourth film.

Fleur is actually partly non-human. Due to the heritage of her Veela grandmother, almost all boys are immediately awestruck when they see her, and she's able to make herself almost irresistible temporarily.

Fleur studied magic in Beauxbatons, though she was one of the competitors in the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on her last year and spent most of it in Hogwarts. She often complained about Hogwarts throughout the book, particularly in relation to the food, while raving about her own school. Fleur was very outspoken against the idea of Harry becoming the fourth champion, insisting that he was too young. No other champions said anything at all, including Harry.

Fleur has a little sister named Gabrielle who was about seven as of The Goblet of Fire. It was Fleur's job to rescue her during the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, but she failed. Harry chose to rescue Gabrielle for her (not that the girl was likely to have been in actual danger) and Fleur, badly shaken by the event, became much warmer to him and to Hogwarts in general afterwards.

At the end of the book, she told Harry that following her graduation she would be trying to return to England to obtain a job and thereby improve her English skills. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix it is briefly mentioned that Fleur has taken employment in Gringotts Bank, and that Bill Weasley is "helping her to improve her English" (i.e. they are dating).

Fleur came in last in the Triwizard Tournament, but as it was being so heavily manipulated by Barty Crouch Jr. it will probably never be known how good a champion she was.
