Minor Harry Potter Characters

The Harry Potter series is known for its many and varied minor or sub-main characters, many of whom are memorable, interesting characters and often have their own fanbases.

Gryffindor

 * Lavender Brown
 * Lavender Brown is a girl in Harry's year at Hogwarts. She is a close friend of Parvati Patil. She is one of the few people who actually enjoy Trelawney's Divination classes. In Goblet of Fire she helps round up the escaped Blast-Ended Skrewts and in Order of the Phoenix she at first sides with the Ministry, but eventually joins the DA. She attends the Yule Ball in Fourth Year with Seamus Finnegan, and dates Ron Weasley for a while in Half-Blood Prince She is injured in the final battle against Voldemort, and it is unknown if she survives.
 * In fanon, Lavender is often portrayed as a weak, shallow, looks-obsessed girl, who would rather run away from a fight than stand and help her friends. She is frequently shown to be a bully who, with Parvati Patil's help, torments Hermione Granger in the Gryffindor girl's dormitory.

Ravenclaw

Slytherin

 * Vincent Crabbe
 * Goon #1 of Draco Malfoy's, and also the most competent in Deathly Hallows. Dies from his own spell.


 * Gregory Goyle
 * Goon #2 of Draco Malfoy's, and the dumber one.


 * Pansy Parkinson
 * Draco's canonical girlfriend, who is described as having a pug-face. As one might expect as the girlfriend of a fanon Sex God, she is bashed quite often. What can be seen of her canon personality seems to consist of cowardice and adoring Draco Malfoy. In fanon, she is a vicious, gossiping schemer.


 * Blaise Zabini
 * Over the years, Blaise Zabini has had the misfortune of being cast as either a girl or a blond-haired, blue-eyed sex god (sometimes both); in canon, he is a dark-skinned male. He is a friend of Draco Malfoy canonically; as one might imagine, this means he often gets Stued.

Order of the Phoenix

 * Arthur Weasley


 * Bill Weasley


 * Charlie Weasley


 * Molly Weasley
