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.


 * Colin Creevey
 * Colin is a Muggle-born fan of Harry Potter's, a year younger than the Golden Trio. He loves taking photographs and was excited  when he found out that he could make them move using a magical developing solution.  Colin is Petrified by the basilisk during his first year and joins the DA in his fourth year.  During his sixth year, Colin fights in the final battle at Hogwarts and is slain.


 * Dennis Creevey
 * Colin's younger brother, Dennis is three years younger than Harry. He joins the DA with his brother.


 * Seamus Finnegan
 * One of Ron and Harry's dorm-mates, Seamus is a son of a witch and a Muggle. Seamus is canonically a little cruel, in the manner of teen-aged boys everywhere--he laughs at Neville's mishaps and joins the dire predictions of Harry's chances as a newly-made Seeker--but generally good-natured and easygoing.  He is less impressed by Harry Potter and Dumbledore than most and initially tends to believe the mainstream news (Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet) over Harry, but changes after Professor Dumbledore's death.  He fears banshees.  Seamus is best friends with Dean Thomas, the fifth member of their dormitory room. Seamus supports Ireland at the Quidditch World Cup. He is a member of the reformed DA, with a fox Patronus, and fights in the final battle against Voldemort, but it is unknown whether he survived.


 * Lee Jordan
 * Best friend of Fred and George Weasley, Lee participates in their pranks. He acts as the announcer at Hogwarts Quidditch matches under the watchful eye of Professor McGonagall.  He has brown eyes and dreadlocks, a pet something with long hairy legs, and appears to have a crush on Angelina Johnson.  Lee joins the DA at its formation.  He runs an underground Wizarding radio programme called Potterwatch, acting as the voice of the resistance during Voldemort's return.  Lee participates in the final battle, but his survival is unknown.


 * Neville Longbottom
 * Neville is one of Ron and Harry's dorm-mates. Neville is friends with Ron, Harry and Hermione and is revealed in The Order of the Phoenix as the other child associated with Trelawney's prophecy.  He is the son of Frank and Alice Longbottom, respected Aurors and members of the original Order of the Phoenix.  Neville grows over the years from a clumsy, shy, fairly incompetent boy (his family feared he would turn out to be a Squib) to a courageous defender of Hogwarts, taking charge of the student resistance during Seventh Year against the Death Eaters at Hogwarts.  He is an important member of the DA, and fights in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, and the Battle of Hogwarts. After the end of the Second Wizarding War, Neville becomes Hogwarts' professor of Herbology, a subject at which he always excels.  According to an interview with JKR, Neville marries Hannah Abbot.

 * Marcus Flint


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


 * Theodore Nott


 * 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
