This page is about the brotherly relationship with Hazel and Fiver.
Overview[]
Hazel listens to Fiver's worries in the film.
As brothers, Hazel and Fiver both take care of each other, Hazel usually watches and takes care of Fiver in case the latter has a vision and Fiver warns Hazel when danger is coming. As the two are brothers, Hazel believes any vision Fiver has.
However in the miniseries Hazel is seen less trustful about Fiver's visions, asking him if he's sure about his visions about Sandleford's destruction or when he stops believing Fiver at Cowslip's warren when he denies eating the food or going into the warren, making Hazel push him down, forcing him to enter the warren.
In one episode of the TV series, Hazel asks Fiver why can't he just vision something useful for once before apologizing, telling Fiver he's just worried for both Primrose and Blackavar, but overall the two have a great brotherly relationship.
