Frank Bryce was a reclusive World War II veteran who worked as the caretaker of the Riddle family mansion in Little Hangleton. In 1942 the Riddles were murdered by Tom Marvolo Riddle (later to become Lord Voldemort), and since Bryce had the keys to the large house where the deaths occurred, he was arrested and questioned in connection with the murders of the Riddle family, but as there was lack of evidence (because the bodies were unmarked as The Killing Curse leaves no sign of violence or damage on the victims) the police could not prove that the Riddles had been murdered, rather than dying of natural causes, and were forced to release Bryce. However, the community of Little Hangleton still believed Bryce to be guilty. As a result, he lived out the rest of his life as a pariah, isolated and living on the grounds of the Riddles' estate. It is stated that the estate passed through several wealthy but uninterested owners. The house remained unoccupied and fell into disrepair.

In the beginning of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (summer of 1994) Voldemort secretly returned to the Riddle home. Bryce found Voldemort and overheard his plan to kill Harry Potter, but the snake Nagini found him and revealed him to Lord Voldemort, who killed him almost immediately with the Avada Kedavra curse.

"Priori Incantatem," also known as the "reverse spell effect", brought back an image of Bryce from the tip of Voldemort's wand. Upon appearing, Bryce's spirit encouraged Harry to keep fighting.

His father is Amos Diggory, who works at the Ministry of Magic.

In Goblet of Fire, Cedric is selected as the Hogwarts champion for the Triwizard Tournament. After Harry is also picked to compete, Draco Malfoy makes "Support Cedric Diggory/Potter Stinks" badges, which Cedric tries to discourage his housemates from wearing. For the First Task, Cedric transfigures a rock into a dog in order to distract his dragon and successfully retrieve his golden egg, but he receives a burn on his cheek in the process.

As compensation for Harry's warning about the dragons prior to the First Task, Cedric assists Harry in solving the clue of the Second Task by telling him to take a bath with the egg in the prefects' bathroom, and just "mull things over in the hot water." He is the second of the four champions to reach the village of the merpeople and rescue his hostage, using a Bubble-Head Charm, but surfaces one minute over the one-hour time limit. Spells in Harry Potter occur in the fictional universe of the series of books by author J. K. Rowling. ...


During the Third Task, Harry saves Cedric's life twice while in the maze, and when they reach the Triwizard Cup, Cedric refuses to take it without Harry, so they grab hold of it together. The cup turns out to be a Portkey which transports them to the Little Hangleton graveyard, where Lord Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew await Harry's arrival; Pettigrew murders Cedric on the spot upon Voldemort's order to "kill the spare." In the midst of the Priori Incantatem effect during Harry's duel with Voldemort, Cedric's spirit appears and asks Harry to take his body back to his parents. The breakup of the spell provides a distraction that enables Harry to escape the graveyard with Cedric's body in tow.

Despite an attempted cover-up of the incident by the Ministry, Dumbledore candidly reveals the true nature of Cedric's demise to the students at the end-of-term feast, stating that to attribute it to an accident would be an injustice: ''Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain.

Aberforth Dumbledore (c.1884?) is Albus Dumbledore's brother. He was the younger of them by some three years, and the lesser skilled of the two; Albus even notes that he is uncertain if Aberforth can read. As such, he was usually left in the background while his brother basked in glory. He became the caretaker of his younger sister Ariana, but got into an argument with his brother and his brother's friend, Grindelwald, which resulted in Ariana's accidental death. At Ariana's funeral, he publicly confronted Albus and broke his nose. This article is about the Harry Potter series of novels. ... Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Rowling admitted in an interview, in response to a question by a reader, that Aberforth is the bartender Harry saw at the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade.[2] There are hints that Aberforth is the bartender appearing in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when Harry noted a "strong odour of goats" in the Hog's Head Inn (in the film version the bartender was seen with a goat), and that the barman looked familiar. Another link to his Goat charming history is in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when he tries to convince the Death Eaters that Harry's Stag patronus, was indeed his own, a Goat. Harry had earlier seen a photo of the Order of the Phoenix, which included Albus and Aberforth, and they look similar. Although not referred to as his brother, the Hog's Head bartender is mentioned in passing by Dumbledore as a source of information.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry sees Aberforth with Mundungus Fletcher, just outside the pub's door. Fletcher appears to be fencing goods stolen from Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Aberforth attends Albus Dumbledore's funeral at the end of Half-Blood Prince. However, it wasn't until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that Aberforth was named directly. He plays an important role by allowing the resistance fighters to use a secure passageway from the Hog's Head to the Room of Requirement via his sister, Ariana's portrait (the same passage, according to Neville, was used by members of Dumbledore's Army to get food when they were living in the Room of Requirement). In addition, he purchased Sirius Black's two-way mirror from Mundungus,[3] and Harry briefly glimpses Aberforth's eye in its counterpart's remaining shard. Using the mirror to watch over the trio, Aberforth sends Dobby to rescue Harry, Ron, Hermione and some other prisoners from Malfoy Manor. He saves the trio again by taking them into his bar before the Death Eaters can arrest them. Aberforth left the Order of the Phoenix after believing the war against Voldemort was lost but remained indirectly supportive. Aberforth later reveals to Harry, Ron, and Hermione some facts they did not know about the history of the Dumbledore family. Shortly prior to the Second Battle of Hogwarts, he helped underage students escape the school to the Hog's Head. Despite Aberforth's cynicism regarding the Order of the Phoenix, he quickly joins the Battle of Hogwarts, and is last seen stunning Augustus Rookwood. According to Rowling, Aberforth survived the battle, and is still "at the Hog's Head, playing with his goats".[4]

Arabella Doreen Figg, better known simply as Mrs Figg, is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. She surreptitiously watches over Harry Potter while he is at home with the family of his mother's sister, the Dursleys. She is a Chekhov's gun, first mentioned as a neighbor who takes care of Harry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Though she maintains a good Muggle cover, Mrs Figg is actually a Squib, a non-magical being born to a family of wizards, as is learned in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She does "a roaring trade" in cross-bred cats and Kneazles, their magical variant. Mrs Figg even belongs to the Order of the Phoenix and functions as one of Albus Dumbledore's liaisons between the magical and Muggle worlds. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore refers to "Arabella Figg" as part of "the old crowd", giving the first clue to her true identity.

In Order of the Phoenix she aids Harry after he and his cousin Dudley Dursley are attacked by two Dementors, and chooses to reveal herself to him. When the Ministry of Magic tries to have Harry expelled from Hogwarts for underage use of magic (which he did to save himself and Dudley) Mrs Figg's testimony before the Wizengamot is crucial in allowing Harry to stay at Hogwarts. She also reveals that she deliberately made Harry's stays with her unpleasant so that the Dursleys would continue to send him to her. According to J. K. Rowling's website, Squibs are actually incapable of seeing Dementors. However, Mrs Figg was familiar with the negative feelings caused by those creatures, so she was able to testify on Harry's behalf before the Wizengamot without committing perjury, although she apparently lied about being able to see the Dementors, as demonstrated by saying that the Dementors "ran", and then being corrected - Dementors don't run, they float. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Mrs Figg attends Dumbledore's funeral at Hogwarts.

Nicolas Flamel (c. 1325[5]1992 or soon after) is a fictional character in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, who is based on the real French alchemist, Nicolas Flamel. [6] He is something of a MacGuffin; though he is the clue to the whole mystery of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, he never actually makes an appearance. According to the Harry Potter books, Flamel is the only person known to create the philosopher's stone and, thus, he and his wife, Perenelle, have lived on for centuries.

Flamel's stone became the target of Lord Voldemort during his possession of Professor Quirrell, so Dumbledore consequently moved it from Gringotts Wizarding Bank to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in order to keep it safe. However, Quirrell worked out how to get past the numerous obstacles to the prize, but Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger figured out someone was after it, though they believed it to be Severus Snape, their Potions professor. The Philosopher's Stone was destroyed at the end of the book. Dumbledore mentioned that Flamel had enough Elixir of Life left to set his affairs in order, but noted that he would die. Nicolas Flamel has not been heard from since in the series, and author J. K. Rowling has stated on her website that Flamel is now deceased.[7]

Mundungus Fletcher
First appearance Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Mundungus "Dung" Fletcher is mentioned in passing in some of the earlier books of the series, but it was not until the second chapter of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that he made his first appearance. Fletcher is described as a "squat, unshaven man" with "short, bandy legs", "long, straggly ginger hair", and "bloodshot, baggy eyes that gave him the doleful look of a basset hound". Mundungus is a criminal, and many members of the Order have mixed feelings about him, but he is very loyal to Dumbledore, who apparently once got him out of serious trouble. Dumbledore trusts him enough to include him in the Order of The Phoenix, and his connections enable him to hear things that others do not— rumours and information rolling around the shadier segments of the wizarding population which could potentially prove instrumental in the fight against Voldemort.

As a member of both the original and the new Order of the Phoenix, he is assigned guard duty to protect Harry Potter, but abandons his position to conduct a shady cauldron-trading deal, leaving a critical opening through which Dementors sent by Dolores Umbridge manage to attack Harry and force him to use a Patronus, which was exactly Umbridge's plan. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Mundungus is first mentioned again by Molly Weasley, who discusses people "like Mundungus Fletcher" attempting to sell fraudulent products that promise protection from Death Eaters. Later in that book, Harry catches Mundungus outside of the Three Broomsticks trying to sell Sirius Black's property (which now belongs to Harry after Sirius' death) to Aberforth (who gave him a has a lifetime ban from the Hog's Head) and the boy confronts him.

Viktor Krum was a Seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch team. In the 1994 Quidditch World Cup title game between Bulgaria and Ireland, he suffered a severe bloody nose during the match and caught the Snitch as quickly as he could to end the match, which handed victory to Ireland because Bulgaria was trailing by 160 points at the time. He was considered a prodigy by many, having entered the International Quidditch League at an early age. Despite his success and fame, or perhaps because of it, Krum appeared to be unhappy and lonely, and was further characterised as being very quiet and reserved, though Hermione Granger said he was a genuinely nice person beneath the sullen exterior.

Krum was named Durmstrang champion upon entering his name for the prestigious Triwizard Tournament. He was often viewed with suspicion by his peers due to Durmstrang's reputation for teaching the Dark Arts, while looked upon with admiration for his feats, mainly by giggling Hogwarts girls. Whilst competing in the Triwizard Tournament, he took to visiting the Hogwarts library. Hermione later reveals that he told her "...he'd been coming up to the library every day to try and talk to me, but he hadn't been able to pluck up the courage!" Krum had to rescue Hermione from the merpeople in the Great Lake for the Second Task. His relationship with Hermione, and taking her to the Yule Ball, provoked jealousy from Ron Weasley, who was, ironically, a fan of Krum's from his Quidditch days. The ever-annoying journalist Rita Skeeter, looking for revenge on Hermione, fabricated a story for Witch Weekly, claiming she was toying with the affections of both Krum and Harry. Harry became sick of telling people that Hermione wasn't his girlfriend and, when questioned, he told Krum, "We're friends. She's not my girlfriend and she never has been. It's just that Skeeter woman making things up." Krum's parents were seen in the chapter "The Third Task" in Goblet of Fire; Krum was described as having inherited his mother's dark hair and his father's large nose.

Augusta Longbottom is Neville's grandmother, and the one who raised him after the boy's parents, Frank and Alice Longbottom were incapacited after being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange and some other Death Eaters.

Unlike other purebloods, such as the Malfoys, Augusta is proud that her grandson is a friend of half-blood Harry Potter, and also admires Muggle-born Hermione Granger for helping Neville out in class. While initially concerned her grandson wasn't living up to his father's legacy, his willingness to go into battle against Death Eaters at the Department of Mysteries seemed to give her a new respect for her grandson. Possibly coupled with McGonagall writing to her about the grandson she had, and not the one she wanted, then bolstered by Neville's leadership in Dumbledore's Army during his seventh year (and subsequent role in both the Battle of Hogwarts and his willingness to defy Voldemort face-to-face) served to make her extremely proud of him. According to Neville, the Death Eaters targeted Augusta in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Neville was acting up at school. The Ministry official Dawlish is sent to arrest her but does not succeed and winds up in hospital when she apparently fights back before going on the run. She is last seen at the Battle of Hogwarts running out of the Room of Requirement to assist her grandson. She asks where Neville is and Harry says that he's fighting Death Eaters. Her reply is "Naturally." Whether or not she survives the battle is unclear.

Neville and his grandmother visit Frank and Alice over the holidays. Neither of them recognize him as their son, but Alice rather recognises Neville as someone she likes. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Alice gives Neville a Droobles bubble gum wrapper during his visit at Christmas break and Neville puts it in his pocket even though his grandmother tells him to throw it away, saying that he already has many others. The significance of this incident was hotly debated by fans, but this debate has recently been put to rest in an interview with author J.K. Rowling, in which she stated the event has no further implications towards the plot of the story, but was merely based on events of a friend and his mother with Alzheimer's.[9]

Xenophilius "Xeno" Lovegood is Luna Lovegood's father and the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, a magazine that, according to Luna, publishes "important stories he thinks the public needs to know." The stories are often wild conspiracy theories or research on probably non-existent creatures, but Luna believes them fervently. Xenophilius is described as eccentric looking. He is slightly cross-eyed, with shoulder-length white hair the texture of candyfloss.

Xenophilius wears the symbol of the Deathly Hallows around his neck as a charm. Later in the story, he explains to Harry, Ron, and Hermione the significance of the Deathly Hallows, which they had previously mistaken to be merely the mark of Dark wizard Grindelwald. Although initially one of the staunchest supporters of the efforts of the anti-Voldemort movement through his magazine, Xeno later betrays the trio's location to the then-Death Eater-controlled Ministry of Magic in a bid to ensure the safe return of his kidnapped daughter. The Sign of the Deathly Hallows represents all three objects symbolically: the Wand, the Stone, and the Cloak. ... Gellert Grindelwald (ca. ...

In Harry, Ron, and Hermione's ensuing battle with the Death Eaters, the Lovegood house is mostly destroyed, due to a missed Stunning Spell striking the horn of an Erumpet (which Xenophilius wrongly believed to be that of a Crumple-horned Snorkack), and they manage to escape. In the aftermath, the angry Death Eaters arrest Xenophilius, which saves his reputation, as he is mentioned on the clandestine "Potterwatch" radio broadcast as a persecuted anti-Voldemort dissident, and the new issue of "The Quibbler" in which he attacks Harry Potter is buried under the ruins and never distributed. Evidently, Harry, Ron, and Hermione never reveal his attempted betrayal, which was only motivated by concern for his daughter. The Crumple-horned Snorkack is a magical creature of dubious existence that is incapable of flight. ...

Teddy Remus Lupin (b. April 1998) is the orphaned only son of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks and godson of Harry Potter. He was named after Tonks' father, Ted. He is first seen as a newborn in a photograph, in which he has turquoise hair, suggesting that he is a metamorphmagus like his mother, and was not affected by his father's werewolf status.[10] Later, in the epilogue, he is described by Harry Potter's elder son James as a 19-year-old who is on the Hogwarts Express station and kissing Victoire Weasley (whom J.K. Rowling identified in an interview as the daughter of Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley). At 19, Teddy is too old to be attending Hogwarts, so he is presumably present at the station only to see Victoire off to school. Teddy's only known surviving relative is his maternal grandmother, Andromeda Tonks, who raised him[11]. Teddy does not live with his godfather Harry Potter, but they are apparently close, since in the epilogue, Harry notes that Teddy comes to dinner four times a week.

Madame Olympe Maxime is the headmistress of Beauxbatons, the French wizarding school. She is described being elegant and wearing black satin robes, and having olive skin and handsome features, but being extremely tall. It is revealed that Maxime's huge size is due to her half-giant background. She fiercely denies this, although she is around the same height as fellow half-giant Hagrid. Upon first sight, Hagrid immediately takes a crush on Madame Maxime, which he shows by attempting to groom himself properly. Given his lack of social graces, however, this isn't so successful. Besides her appearance in Goblet, in Phoenix Hagrid tells Harry, Ron and Hermione that Madame Maxime and he visited the giants during that summer. Hagrid describes her spellwork as "brilliant." She separates from Hagrid during the return journey, however, because he would not abandon his half-brother Grawp, who proves to be a highly taxing traveling companion; she returns to Beauxbatons alone. In Half-Blood Prince, Madame Maxime is among those paying respects at Dumbledore's funeral.

Mr. Ollivander (first name unrevealed) runs Ollivanders, a prestigious shop which sells magical wands in Diagon Alley. Despite the popularity of his wares, he has shown that he can easily name off the materials and attributes of several wands he has sold over the years. In Book One, Mr Ollivander assists a young Harry Potter in selecting his first wand (31 July 1991, Harry's eleventh birthday) — or more accurately according to him, finding a wand that would select Harry. Finding Harry a particularly difficult customer to match, Mr Ollivander finally selects an eleven-inch-long wand made of holly containing a feather from a phoenix (later revealed to be Albus Dumbledore's companion Fawkes) which is perfectly suited to Harry. Mr Ollivander seems very thoughtful that the two should be matched, revealing that the phoenix only gave one other feather, and that wand containing the other feather now belongs to none other than Lord Voldemort.

In the sixth book, however, it emerges that Rosmerta has become an unwitting agent of the Death Eaters. In order to fulfil his mission to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy had managed to place Rosmerta under the Imperius Curse. He used her to pass on a cursed necklace to Hogwarts student Katie Bell, who accidentally touched the necklace and was herself subjected to the very harmful curse intended for the Headmaster. Malfoy communicated with Rosmerta through fake galleons like the ones Hermione Granger used for Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. After Harry and Dumbledore had been to the cave to retrieve a locket they believed to be one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, they apparated to Hogsmeade, where Madam Rosmerta alerted them to the presence of the Dark Mark above the school and gave them brooms on which they could travel rapidly back to Hogwarts, where Draco's plan could be brought to completion. Rosmerta was among those paying respects at Dumbledore's funeral.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Stan Shunpike is arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activity. Harry and Dumbledore, however, believe this very unlikely and that he is almost certainly not guilty. Even so, Stan is kept in Azkaban in order for the Ministry of Magic to look like progress is being made in the capturing of Death Eaters. When the new Minister of Magic asks Harry to be a sort of mascot for the Ministry, Harry refuses on the grounds of the Ministry's actions at the time - namely holding Stan under arrest to look like they are making progress against Voldemort.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a "strangely blank" looking Stan Shunpike was among the Death Eaters who pursued Harry during his escape from Privet Drive. Harry gave himself away to his attackers by attempting to only Disarm Stan as opposed to stunning him off his broom, as he is innocent and apparently under the influence of the Imperius curse. It is never completely confirmed whether Shunpike is under the Imperius curse. If he was Imperiused, he would have been released at Voldemort's downfall (as is stated near the end of the book).

Rita Skeeter is a reporter for the Daily Prophet and a correspondent for the Witch Weekly, who specialises in yellow journalism. Armed with such magical devices as the Quick-Quotes Quill which automatically misquotes an interviewee even while he or she speaks, the character is clearly intended as satire on such journalists in the real world. Rita is also an unregistered Animagus, capable of transforming into a beetle to spy on unsuspecting victims for her stories.

Harry first encounters Rita when she interviews the Triwizard Tournament contestants for an article in The Daily Prophet. The article turns out to be mostly about Harry. Rita then interviews Hagrid, but rather than talking to him about his creatures, which he had been led to believe she would be interested in, she asks for information about Harry. Hagrid commented after the interview that she seemed disappointed when he said that he had never had to reprimand Harry. During the Yule Ball, she overhears Hagrid telling Madame Maxime that he is half-giant. Skeeter prints a story about it and includes Malfoy's hippogriff incident, during which Draco was "wounded." In the article, Hagrid is portrayed as dangerous, prompting letters from parents concerned over having a "ferocious" giant teach their children.

During the situations where Rita overhears information, the book subtly makes reference to her presence, during the second task Viktor Krum mentions Hermione has a water beetle in her hair and during the talk between Madam Maxime and Hagrid, Harry notices a beetle on a nearby statue. When Skeeter encounters Harry, Ron, and Hermione in Hogsmeade, Hermione insults her. Skeeter then writes a nasty story about Hermione, making her out to be an ugly but conniving witch who uses illegal love potions to "satisfy her taste for celebrity wizards," including Harry Potter and Viktor Krum. Rita's last defaming article states that Harry is "disturbed and dangerous," and uses comments from Draco and his Slytherin cronies. Ultimately, Hermione discovers just how Skeeter spies on others and forces her to "keep her quill to herself for a full year."

Although Rita does not make a physical appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows she is referenced on numerous occasions throughout the novel, generally in a negative light, in relation to her unauthorised biography of Dumbledore entitled "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore". The book depicts the former headmaster in an extremely negative light and throughout Harry struggles to determine whether Rita's words are rooted in any truth. Rowling, when asked on a web chat if Rita was still reporting, she answered; "Naturally, what could stop Rita? I imagine she immediately dashed off a biography of Harry after he defeated Voldemort. One quarter truth to three quarters rubbish", along with "Snape: Scoundrel or Saint?"

First appearance Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Hepzibah Smith is a minor character featured in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hepzibah is introduced within Albus Dumbledore's Pensieve, as part of a series of memories shown to Harry Potter by his headmaster. She is described as having been an extremely wealthy, well-born old witch who enjoyed collecting antiques and collectibles. In the memory, Hepzibah wears long robes and gowns of pink, and when sitting upon her throne-like chair, she is described as giving the impression of a large "melting iced cake". She wears a large, elaborate, ginger wig upon her head (most likely the colour of her hair before it greyed) and dabs her red cheeks with rouge. She is described as being immensely fat.

Tom Riddle, fresh out of Hogwarts and working for Borgin and Burkes, visits Hepzibah to make an offer for some goblin-made armour which she owns. He presents her with flowers, and charms and flatters her. Enamoured with Riddle, Hepzibah shows him her most prized possessions – a cup, owned by her ancestor Helga Hufflepuff, and a locket which once belonged to Salazar Slytherin, that she had purchased from Borgin and Burkes.

Only a few days after the events of the memory occurred, Hepzibah died, and Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket were never found. Dumbledore theorizes that Riddle had killed Hepzibah and tampered with the memory of her house-elf, Hokey, so that she thought she had accidentally poisoned her mistress. Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket would go on, as presumed by Dumbledore, to become two of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Andromeda "Dromeda" Tonks (born c. 1953) is the mother of Nymphadora Tonks. Born Andromeda Black, she is a pure-blood witch, daughter of Cygnus and Druella Black (née Rosier) and sister of Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy. The middle sister, she was burned off the family tapestry in 12 Grimmauld Place by her aunt Walburga and banned from the family because she married Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born wizard. She was Sirius Black's favourite cousin, but he never met the Tonks family before his imprisonment in Azkaban. Not much is known of her personality, except that she apparently has a talent for household spells and cleanliness, lacked by her husband and daughter, and that she is responsible for giving her daughter the name "Nymphadora", a name like those typical to Andromeda's family.

She is not physically introduced until the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. She greatly resembles her sister Bellatrix (so much so that Harry nearly attacks her because of her appearance), but is more benign-looking and has soft brown, rather than black hair. Although Remus Lupin believes that Andromeda and Ted are displeased by their daughter's marrying a werewolf, this is never overtly stated by either of them. Nymphadora apparently lives with her parents for at least part of her pregnancy and gives birth to Andromeda's grandson, Teddy Remus Lupin, in her mother's home. For someone who is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, the war with Voldemort and his followers exacts a very heavy toll on Andromeda: her eldest sister, her husband, her daughter, and her son-in-law are all killed. Rowling stated in an interview that after the war, Andromeda raises her grandson, though he clearly regularly visits the home of his godfather, Harry Potter. “HP7” redirects here. ...

Ted played an active role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Near the beginning of the novel, his home is a hideout for Harry and Hagrid, as the two were on the run from Voldemort. His home holds the portkey which helps Harry escape to The Burrow. Later due to Ted's refusal to register as a Muggle-born, he is one of the Muggle-born wizards to flee the ministry's new oppressive regime after the Death Eaters take over. During his flight, he meets the goblins Griphook and Gornuk, as well as Dean Thomas and Dirk Cresswell. Soon after, Ted is murdered by snatchers who also kill Gornuk and Cresswell.[HP7] When Tonks gives birth to her and Lupin's son, they name him Teddy in honor of her father.

First appearance Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Oliver Wood (born c. 1976) is Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the first three novels. Wood, described as "burly," is a talented and keen player and a born leader as captain, but also tends to act as a taskmaster due to his obsession with the game; he never cancels practices, poor weather conditions notwithstanding, and holds training sessions in early morning hours. In his seventh year, before the Quidditch Cup final, he constantly harangues Harry to catch the Golden Snitch only when Gryffindor is fifty points ahead of Slytherin during the match. His longtime rival is Slytherin captain Marcus Flint; they are well-known for trying to break each other's fingers during their pre-match handshakes.

In Order of the Phoenix, when Angelina Johnson assumes the team captaincy with equal fervor, Harry remarks to Ron, "I think we'd better check with Puddlemere United to see if Oliver Wood's been killed during a training session, because she seems to be channeling his spirit." When Ron is poisoned in Half-Blood Prince, Fred Weasley replies to speculation that Gryffindor players were being specifically targeted, "Wood would have done the Slytherins if he could get away with it." He is one of many Hogwarts students, past and present, who takes part in the Battle of Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows, and is among the survivors; Harry sees him assisting Neville Longbottom in carrying the body of Colin Creevey.

Prime Minister of Britain
Parentage Muggle
First appearance Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

This fictional character, equivalent to the real Prime Minister of Britain, receives a visit from Cornelius Fudge and Rufus Scrimgeour in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince[12] in July 1996 in his own office. There is obviously a possibility that JK Rowling did not intend for the Prime Minister to be any real person, but if the assumption is made that she had intended to link the real world with her fictional world, then it could be Conservative John Major, who was Prime Minister from 1990 to 1997. However, the book also refers to the Muggle Prime Minister's predecessor as "he"; Major's predecessor was fellow Conservative Margaret Thatcher, the only female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, so it is likely that no parallel was intended. Furthermore, Fudge says that the Prime Minister's predecessor tried to throw him out the window; because both he and the current Prime Minister had taken their respective offices in the same year, Thatcher would not have been visited by Fudge upon being elected.

Peverell brothers

Antioch Peverell was the eldest of the three Peverell brothers. According to The Tales of Beedle the Bard, he received the Elder Wand from Death, although Dumbledore believes it more likely that he created the wand himself. He was killed in his sleep after bragging about the wand's invincibility, and whoever killed him stole the Elder Wand, thus starting its bloody history.

Cadmus Peverell was the middle of the three Peverell Brothers. According to The Tales of Beedle the Bard, he received the Resurrection Stone from Death, but, the same as his brothers with their Cloak and Wand, he most likely created the Stone. He, using the Stone, resurrected the girl he had once hoped to marry, who had died an untimely death. But though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Driven mad by this, he killed himself, to join her. He is also an ancestor of the Gaunt family and therefore an ancestor of Lord Voldemort, which makes he and Harry Potter, a descendant of Ignotus Peverell, distantly related.

Unlike his brothers, he successfully avoided death for many years wearing the cloak, lived a full and long life and greets Death as a friend after many years.

Other minor students

  • Penelope Clearwater was Percy Weasley's girlfriend. There has been some confusion about Penelope's blood status: in a scene in Deathly Hallows, in which Hermione identifies herself as "Penelope Clearwater" and a half-blood when interrogated by a group of Snatchers hunting for Muggle-borns, dispels this notion as Penelope's name was not on their list. However, it is explained in Chamber of Secrets that Penelope was with Hermione Granger when petrified; the latter (a Muggle-born) was likely the real target (in the same way that Nearly Headless Nick was caught up in the attack on Justin Finch-Fletchley).
  • Natalie McDonald is a Gryffindor student three years younger than Harry whose only series appearance was when she was Sorted in Goblet of Fire. Rowling included the character as a tribute to a real-life Natalie McDonald, a massive fan of the series who died of leukemia on August 3, 1999 at the age of nine.[13]
  • Cormac McLaggen is a member from the Slug Club that tries out for the position of Keeper, however, Hermione jinxes him causing him to miss his last save and thus helping Ron retain his spot on the team. McLaggen fills in during Gryffindor's match against Hufflepuff as Keeper when Ron is unable to play due to poisoning, but his debut is disastrous, as he orders the team about instead of focusing on his own position, knocks Harry unconscious with a Beater's bat. He is then Hermione's date at Slughorn's Christmas party in retaliation for Ron's relationship with Lavender Brown.
  • Eloise Midgen (sometimes spelled Eloise Midgeon) is generally assumed to be in Harry Potter's year, although her House is unclear. Eloise suffers from severe acne, used as a running gag in the series. During Half-Blood Prince, Eloise Midgen's father comes to school to collect her in October of her sixth year.
  • Romilda Vane harbors a crush on Harry but is extremely disappointed when the feeling is not mutual, and unlike Harry's previous adorers, such as Ginny and the Creevey brothers, whose hero-worshipping was harmless and often amusing, Romilda's pursuits of Harry border on obsessive. Later in the term, she attempts to trick Harry into taking a love potion by giving him a box of spiked chocolates, that were finally consumed by Ron.
