Abbot, Hannah: Hannah is a Hufflepuff in Harry's year. She has blonde hair that she wears in pigtails. She's seems to be Ernie MacMillan's best friend as we often see them together. She sticks up for Harry when Ernie suggests he could be the heir of Slytherin. She works at the same srivelfig as Harry in Herbology after Hermione has been petrified and Ernie had apologised for suspecting Harry. In GoF she wears one of Malfoy's 'Support Cedric Diggory' badges that flash to say 'Potter stinks' which doesn't cheer Harry up at all. She collects chocolate frog cards and we see her swapping them with Ernie Macmillan. In fifth year, she becomes a Huffepuff prefect. She is a member of Dumbledore's Army (the D.A.). Apparently, Hannah is very susceptible to stress - in OotP we're told that during her O.W.Ls she burst into tears during Herbology and 'sobbed that she was too stupid to take exams and wanted to leave school now', so was the first to receive a calming draught from Madam Pomfrey. We also see her checking books out of the library looking 'frantic'. Maybe her nerves were justified, for in her Transfiguration exam she multiplied a ferret into a flock of flamingos, meaning the exam had to be paused for ten minutes to get them out of the Great Hall!
Abercromie, Euan: He was the first to be sorted in Book 5 and was placed in Gryffindor. He is repeatedly described as looking terrified and has 'very prominent ears'.
Ackerley, Stewart: He is sorted into Ravenclaw in Book 4.
Agrippa: A character on a Chocolate Frog card - to be precise, one that, as of book 1, Ron still hadn't got in his collection.
Aragog: We are introduced to Aragog in the second book. He is an Acromantula, which means a giant spider. He was fed on scraps from the table and raised from an egg by Hagrid when he was a child; Hagrid kept him in a cupboard at Hogwarts and eventually even found him a wife called Mosag. Together, Aragog and Mosag formed a colony in the forbidden forest of which Aragog is leader. He is described as the size of a small elephant, with grey hairs among the black and an ugly, pincered head. Each of his 8 eyes is milky white, because he is blind. When he speaks he clicks his pincers. He lives in a 'misty domed web'. Hagrid was expelled because Tom Riddle accused Hagrid of being the heir of Slytherin and Aragog of being the monster from the Chamber of Secrets, which was a lie. Hagrid received Aragog from a traveller. Aragog comes from 'a distant land'. He likes the dark and quiet, and it is his instinct to harm humans but out of respect for Hagrid he had never done so, though this didn't stop him from wanting the other spiders to eat Harry and Ron, which they would have done if Mr. Weasley's magically enhanced Ford Anglia hadn't rescued them. He refuses to speak of the basilisk because it is the natural enemy of spiders, rather like the wizarding kind refuse to name Voldemort.
He died of old age in the spring of 1997. Hagrid, Harry and Slughorn attended his burial. Slughorn got a good amount of venom from him, as Acromantula venom is precious.
Arnold: Arnold is Ginny's purple Pygmy Puff (mini puffskein) who likes to ride on her shoulder at times.
Art Historian: Failed to remove the portrait from the Muggle Prime Minister's office.
Avery: A Death Eater. We meet him at the graveyard scene in GoF, where he begs forgiveness from Voldemort before receiving the Cruciatus Curse. He was involved in the plot to get Bode to remove the prophecy from the Department of Mysteries, informing Voldemort that Bode could retrieve it, which turned out to be the wrong information. He was present at the battle in the Department of Mysteries. He escaped Azkaban after the first war by claiming to have been under the Imperius Curse. He didn't attempt to find Voldemort after his downfall because he believed him finished.
Baddock, Malcolm: He is sorted into Slytherin in GoF.
Bagman, Ludo: Ludo Bagman is the head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports at the Ministry of Magic. He was a famous beater for the Wimbourne Wasps, and used to play Quidditch for England. We meet him at the Quidditch World Cup, where he is totally ignoring the command to look like Muggles and wearing long Wimbourne Wasp robes that have black and gold stripes with a logo of a wasp on the front. He is described as looking like 'a powerfully built man gone slightly to seed; the robes were stretched tightly across a large belly he surely had not had in the days when he played Quidditch for England. His nose was squashed (probably broken by a stray bludger, Harry thought), but his round blue eyes, short blonde hair and rosy complexion made him look like a very overgrown schoolboy.' Ludo has a gambling problem and bets with Fred and George and a lot of goblins at the Quidditch World Cup, resulting in a lot of problems for Ludo when he can't pay his debts. He was the commentator at at the World Cup, and the one who got tickets for Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys to sit in the top box. He is one of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament and tries to help Harry cheat so that he can win back the money he owes by betting that Harry will win. When he walks, he bounces, and he seems like a very jolly, good natured type of person, if not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's a flamboyant dresser; his wardrobe also includes purple robes with bright yellow stars. At the Yule Ball he danced with Professor McGonagall. After seeing Ludo in discussion with goblins, horrible journalist, Rita Skeeter begins talking to the trio about digging dirt on Ludo. She tells them, "I know things about Ludo Bagman that would make your hair curl." This doesn't seem to fit with the image Ludo projects, but as GoF goes on the trio do indeed learn a lot more. A short time later, Hermione ponders whether or not he could have been the one to conjure the Dark Mark. We know that he wasn't, but later we again have cause to question whether Ludo is as nice and friendly as he makes out. In Dumbledore's penseive, Harry sees him on trial for giving information to Death Eaters in exchange for Rookwood getting him a job at the Ministry. The trial was far from fair, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest Ludo was only acquitted because of his fame and image. Moody, Crouch and Dumbledore acted as if they were definitely not entirely convinced of his story, Crouch even suggesting he should be sent to Azkaban. Ludo claimed he didn't know Rookwood was a Death Eater, but surely even an idiot would realise in a time of war, anyone probing you for information could be up to something. At the end of book 4 we learn that Bagman had tried to pay Fred and George their winnings in leprechaun gold, which disappears, showing again that he may be a dishonest character. Keep an eye on him.
Bagman, Otto: Otto is Ludo's brother. He got into trouble over a lawnmower with magical powers, which Mr. Weasley smoothed over. In exchange for this, Ludo got the Weasleys very good tickets for the Quidditch World Cup.
Bagnold, Millicent: We find out in OotP that (she) Millicent was the Minister of Magic before Cornelius Fudge.
Bagshot, Bathilda: Author of A History of Magic.
Bane: Bane is a centaur who lives in the Forbidden Forest, described as 'black haired and black bodied' and 'wild looking' with a black beard. He is strongly against centaurs letting humans ride on their backs, and equally against Firenze teaching at Hogwarts. He is also against the centaurs interfering in fate, saying to Firenze: "What have you been telling him? Remember, Firenze, we are sworn not to set ourselves against the heavens." In book 5, Bane picks up Umbridge and carries her into the forest, after being called a filthy half-breed.
Belby, Marcus: He is a thin, nervous looking Ravenclaw seventh-year. He was invited to join the Slug Club because Slughorn taught his Uncle Damocles at Hogwarts. Belby's father and uncle don't get along well together so he doesn't know much about his uncle, and this just caused Slughorn to ignore him.
Bell, Katie: She is one of the Chasers for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and was a member of Dumbledore's Army. She may have had a bit of a crush on Cedric Diggory, giggling and saying he was the 'strong, silent type'.
In book 6, she was the only original member remaining from the team that Harry had joined in his first year. She advised him to hold fair trials for all and not discriminate because she was an older member of the team. In the end, she succeeded in staying one of the three Chasers. Around wintertime, Katie was accidentally cursed by a necklace, set by Draco Malfoy, that Madam Rosmerta (who was under the Imperius Curse) had given her while in the women's bathroom. She spent the better half of the rest of the year in St. Mungo's. Dean Thomas took over her position as Chaser but she came back to help Gryffindor win the Quidditch Cup at the end of the year.
Binns, Professor: Professor Binns is the only teacher who is a ghost at Hogwarts and he teaches History of Magic. Before each lesson, he glides in through the blackboard (which is said to be the most exciting thing that happens in his lessons)! Homework he has asked for has been: a 3 foot long essay on "The Medieval Assembly of European Wizards", "a foot-and-a-half long essay on giant wars" and "the goblin rebellions of the 18th century". His appearance is 'ancient and shrivelled' and 'many people said he hadn't noticed he was dead. He had simply got up to teach one day and left his body behind him in an armchair in front of the staff room fire; his routine had not varied in the slightest since.' He has a 'dry, wheezy/reedy voice' and reads in a 'flat drone like a vacuum cleaner' which sends everyone in class to sleep. When he clears his throat it sounds like a piece of chalk snapping and when he purses his lips he looks like 'a wrinkled old tortoise'. He has a tendency to get students' names wrong. For instance, calling Seamus Finnigan "O'Flaherty", Harry "Perkins" and Parvati Patil "Miss Pennyfeather". His lessons consist of his lecturing the students without stopping while they are supposed to take notes.
Black, Mrs: Sirius's mother is dead (she died in 1991), but she lives on in the form of a portrait at 12, Grimmauld Place. The portrait is hidden behind moth eaten velvet curtains, but whenever a loud noise is made the curtain flies open and the woman begins to shriek and scream. The portrait is life size. She has yellow skin, clawlike hands and wears a black cap. When she screams she drools and rolls her eyes. Mrs. Black is heavily prejudiced, disowning people from the Black family and 'blasting' them off the family tree tapestry if they do not marry into a pureblooded family. When people try to pull the curtains over her face as she screams, they find it exceptionally hard, and the portrait is stuck to the wall with a Permanent Sticking Charm so that she cannot be removed. She grunts in her sleep.
Black, Regulus: Sirius's younger brother, a Death Eater who was killed on Voldemort's orders because he panicked and wanted to leave the Death Eaters. He was killed a few days after he left his loyalties. It is popular speculation amongst readers to think that R.A.B. refers to Regulus. JK says that "it's a.um.fine guess."
Black, Sirius: Born circa 1960, Sirius Black was born into a pureblood family with the motto Toujours Pur ("Always Pure"). His mother and father both, though not Death Eaters themselves, believed that Lord Voldemort had the right idea to purify the wizarding world. Sirius was not a favourite in the family and his younger brother, Regulas Black, was the pride of his parents for agreeing with their pureblood ideas. Growing up in London, Sirius lived in 12 Grimmauld Place during his childhood, a house heavily fortified by his father.
He was sorted into Gryffindor in 1971 (always the rebel), and Sirius spent a lot of his time in detention with his best friend, James Potter. When the two of them had detention in separate rooms they would communicate using two-way mirrors. Along with James, Sirius used an illegal hex upon Bertram Aubrey, whose head swelled to twice its normal size. They got a double detention. When not in detention, the two them along with friends Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin (whom dubbed themselves "The Marauders"), were always stirring up some new prank in their minds. Around Black's second year, he and his friends discovered that Lupin was a werewolf and spent the better half of three years learning to become unregistered Animagi. In their fifth year, when they did manage it, Black turned into a shaggy black dog, much like the Grim. He was nicknamed "Padfoot" by his friends and was later called "Snuffles" by Harry and the others. The Marauders took frequent trips around the Hogwarts grounds and the Forbidden Forest in their animal forms, learning more about Hogwarts than possibly any other students, and thus came to write the Marauder's Map (later confiscated by Filch).
In his youth, Sirius retained the haughty Black good looks, with dark hair that, as Harry thought, fell into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance, and fathomless grey eyes. He was tall. Although Sirius was fiercely loyal to his friends and an overall kind person, Severus Snape seemed to be his one exception. He and Snape had a mutual dislike for each other and Sirius jumped at the chance to help James torture him whenever he could.
At the age of 16, Sirius decided he had had enough of his family's "pure-blood mania" and ran away from home. His family disowned him. He stayed at the Potters' house and bought his own house (from gold he had inherited from his Uncle Alphard) at the age of 17. After his Hogwarts years, in 1978, Sirius was the best man at Lily and James's wedding, described as a happy, laughing young man in the photos. Sirius himself never got married because he was "too busy being a rebel". He and the Marauders and Lily were actively a part of the first Order of the Phoenix, fighting the war against Voldemort.
When Harry was born in 1980, Sirius was named Godfather to him and was to be his guardian in case anything ever happened to Lily and James. When the prophecy was made and Lily and James performed the Fidelius Charm, Sirius was their Secret Keeper but convinced them at the last minute to use Peter. Nobody was told of this change, not even Remus, because Sirius thought Remus was the spy. Sirius was planning on going into hiding himself. Peter betrayed Lily and James, and as Sirius raced on his flying motorbike to Godric's Hollow, he found their house in ruins. Hagrid was already there and Sirius told him that he should take Harry; he was his Godfather and now legal guardian. Hagrid told him that on Dumbledore's orders he couldn't give Harry to him, so Sirius gave Hagrid his motorbike (saying he wouldn't need it anymore) and tracked Peter down himself. In the middle of a Muggle street, Peter screamed for everyone to hear that Sirius killed Lily and James and then blew the whole street up, turning into a rat and speeding down to the sewers. Twenty workers from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement took Sirius away to Azkaban Prison without trial. He was around 22 years old.
In Azkaban, Sirius kept himself sane because he knew he hadn't betrayed his best friends. Since this wasn't a happy thought, the Dementors didn't affect him as much. In the summer of 1993, before Harry's third year at Hogwarts, Sirius saw the article in the Daily Prophet that said Ron's rat Scabbers was going to Hogwarts. Sirius knew immediately that this rat was Peter Pettigrew. One night, he transformed into a dog and snuck out of the prison and swam to shore. He saw Harry for the first time in twelve years near Magnolia Crescent. He broke into Hogwarts twice, once slashing the Fat Lady's portrait, and once slashing the curtains to Ron's bed. The trio and Snape encountered Sirius in the Shrieking Shack (he had long matted hair, his face was gaunt and waxy, and his eyes sunken) near the end of the year, and with Lupin's help, Sirius managed to tell them his story and turned Scabbers back to Peter. Unfortunately, Peter managed to escape and Sirius was locked in a room awaiting the Dementor's kiss. Harry and Hermione managed to save him using a time-turner and he flew off with Buckbeak.
At word of Harry's scar hurting in his fourth year, Sirius returned to Britain and kept in touch with Harry via fire and owl post. He was hiding in a cave somewhere near the village of Hogsmeade. He was by Harry's side after the third task and accompanied him to the hospital wing. He was told on Dumbledore's orders to gather "the old crowd" for the second war that was coming and to lie low at Lupin's for a while.
Sirius was the last living Black relative and inherited 12 Grimmauld Place, which he turned over to the Order of the Phoenix as headquarters. Since it was almost certain that Peter had told Voldemort of his Animagus being and the fact that there was a 10 000 Galleon prize on his head, Sirius was trapped in his house for months. Besides the fact that being back in his childhood home brought back painful memories, Sirius was not one to sit around. In June of 1996, Sirius and a few other Order members engaged in a battle with Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries. Sirius taunted his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange and she sent a jet of red light at him. His eyes widened in shock and his body curved into a graceful arch before he fell through the veil. It's uncertain what killed him - Bellatrix's spell or the veil - but the end result was that he did die.
He left all of his property to Harry (if Harry did not accept it, it would have gone to Bellatrix Lestrange), who did not have any need or want for it. He had to keep Kreacher but let him work in the Hogwarts kitchens. Buckbeak was given to Hagrid.
Sirius was reckless, brave, loyal, affectionate, and slightly embittered. He never had a proper childhood, since being sent to Azkaban. His death hit the Order members hard, especially Harry and Lupin.
Bletchley, Miles: He is the keeper for the Slytherin Quidditch team and a nasty piece of work. Before an important game he cursed Alicia Spinnet so that her eyebrows grew so long they reached her mouth. He's been on the Slytherin Quidditch team since Harry's first year, so must be either one or two years ahead of Harry.
Bloody Baron: The Bloody Baron is the Slytherin ghost, named because he is covered in silver bloodstains. He is described as gaunt, silent and staring, sometimes referred to as a 'spectre' rather than a ghost, and the other ghosts are intimidated by him so give him a wide berth. He is the only ghost or person at Hogwarts who can control Peeves the Poltergeist (Peeves calls him 'your bloodiness'). He attends Nearly Headless Nick's Death Day party. We don't know why the he is covered in blood - Harry asked Nick in first year but Nick said he had never asked. We learn in book 1 from Neville that the Baron was skulking around outside the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry pretends to be the Bloody Baron when Peeves spots him under the invisibility cloak. He says 'The Bloody Baron has his own reasons for being invisible' in a hoarse whisper, which may be the Baron's natural voice although we have never heard him speak.
Boardman, Stubby: The Quibbler says he is Sirius Black, lead singer of the Hobgoblins. This dubious claim is made by a Mrs. Purkiss, who says that she was having a romantic dinner with him on the day Sirius was supposed to have committed the crimes. She says she saw Sirius's photo in the paper and recognised him as Stubby, so had written to the Ministry expecting a full pardon. Apparently Stubby retired from public life after being hit on the ear with a turnip at a concert in Little Norton Church Hall.
Bole: Slytherin beater who left school when Harry was in fifth year. He had the usual Slytherin Quidditch player physique - i.e., he was a 'gorilla'. His partner beater was Derrick.
Bones: A wizarding family who suffered greatly at the hands of Voldemort. Hagrid tells us in book 1 that the Bones were 'some of the best witches an' wizards of the age'.
Bones, Amelia Susan: She was killed by Lord Voldemort himself in book 6, or so Fudge suspects, and all the evidence is that she put up a good fight. Her murder was in Muggle newspapers (although they just said she was a middle-aged woman who lived alone) and the police were baffled about her murder because she was found in a room locked from the inside. She was Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic when alive. She appeared as a judge at Harry's trial in OotP, where she showed she was indeed a fair person (Tonks had told us that she would be) because she was the only judge willing to give Harry a fair trial. She was described as a broad, square-jawed witch with very short grey hair and thick eyebrows who wore a monocle and looked forbidding, but the monocle and forbidding look may just have been because of the circumstances in which we met her (Harry's hearing). She spoke in a booming voice and had a briefcase. She was the grandmother of Susan Bones (a Hufflepuff in Harry's year), who has her middle name.
Bones, Edgar: We learn he was an original member of the Order of the Phoenix when Moody points out who's who in an old photo at Grimmauld Place. He tells us he was a great wizard and that he and his family were killed by the Death Eaters, though clearly Susan and Amelia survived.
Bones, Susan: A Hufflepuff in Harry's year. She wears her hair in a long plait and is the granddaughter of Amelia Bones. Her aunt, uncle and cousins were killed by Voldemort, which made her an object of curiosity, and able to empathise with Harry after the Daily Prophet ran an article about the escaped Death Eaters and their crimes. She is a member of Dumbledore's Army. One of the first friends she made at Hogwarts appears to have been Hannah Abbot, as she ran to sit next to her at the Sorting Feast in book 1.
Boot, Terry: Harry watches Terry get sorted into Ravenclaw as he waits in line for his own sorting. He's a Muggleborn and friends with Anthony Goldstein and Michael Corner. In fourth year he was in Dumbledore's office gossiping with portraits about how Harry killed the basilisk (something fishy going on there?). He is a member of the D.A. and during a meeting his wand once hit Alicia Spinnet on the ear while practising Expelliarmus. He questioned Hermione during their first ever D.A. meeting, asking why she was so smart and yet, not in Ravenclaw. He was one of the four Ravenclaws in Professor Slughorn's Advanced Potions class, which means that he got at least an E on his Potions O.W.L.
Bott, Bertie: The man that invented "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans."
Branstone, Eleanor: She is sorted into Hufflepuff in Goblet of Fire.
Bryce, Frank: The Riddle's gardener who was murdered by Lord Voldemort. He was arrested on the suspicion of murdering Tom Riddle's parents and grandfather (Tom was the real culprit) because he was the gardener at their house and so had keys to the house. There were no broken windows or other signs of a break in, so the evidence pointed to Frank. He lived alone in a run-down cottage on the grounds and had fought in the Second World War which left him with a 'very stiff leg and a great dislike of crowds and noises'. He had gnarled fingers and a build-up of earwax. At the time of his murder Frank was almost 77 and very deaf, although he still kept up his gardening job for the new owner of the Riddle House. When he yelled he had a croaky voice. He had a deep mistrust of the police after they had taken him in for questioning and had no telephone, so when he saw lights on in the house on the night of his murder (he figured it was just more kids trying to get in) he investigated himself instead of contacting the police. He felt braver when it was time to take action than when he was waiting for it to happen; we saw this when he faced Voldemort and were told it had always been that way for him in the war. He was killed by Voldemort with Avada Kedavra, the Killing Curse.
Brocklehurst, Mandy: A half-blood Ravenclaw in Harry's year.
Brown, Lavender: Lavender was the first student to be sorted into Gryffindor at the sorting in book 1, so she's in Harry's year. She is deeply in awe of Professor Trelawney, along with her best friend Parvati Patil. Ron makes one of the best jokes in the series in Divination, when Lavender talks about an 'unaspected planet' which she is told is Uranus. Ron says innocently, "Can I have a look at Uranus, Lavender?" Under the Imperius curse in the fake Moody's lesson she imitated a squirrel. She has a shrill giggle and she giggles a lot. Ron asked her to the Yule Ball in desperation because he didn't have a date, but she was already going with Seamus Finnigan. She is a member of the D.A. She loves Hedwig, Harry's owl, thinking her very beautiful. She had a pet rabbit called Binky, but he was killed by a fox, which she thinks was predicted by Professor Trelawney (although Hermione was definitely not convinced of this).
In the sixth book, she appeared to have a crush on Ron Weasley, giggling at everything, funny or not, that he did. They became girlfriend and boyfriend later on in the book, but their relationship mainly consisted of snogging. She wanted Ron to wear a necklace but he did not want to. She nicknamed him Won-Won. She became increasingly jealous of the amount of attention Ron and Hermione paid each other and eventually dumped Ron (who did not complain about it) after she saw him coming out of his dormitory with Hermione.
Buckbeak: Buckbeak is a hippogriff, which means he is half-horse half-eagle. The horse part of him is grey and he has orange eyes. In a Care of Magical Creatures lesson he bit Malfoy after being provoked, and faced being beheaded for being a dangerous creature. Harry and Hermione saved him from execution by using Hermione's time turner to go back in time and let him and Sirius fly away. When Sirius was living at Grimmauld Place, Buckbeak was kept in a room upstairs made into a makeshift hippogriff home by having straw on the floor. Sirius fed him dead rats. In book 6, Harry became Buckbeak's legal guardian (he was nicknamed "Witherwings" for a while for his own safety) but Harry let him live with Hagrid, which made everyone happy.
Bulstrode, Millicent: Millicent is a Slytherin girl in Harry's year who is described as 'looking like a picture Harry had seen in Holidays With Hags. She was large and square and her heavy jaw jutted aggressively.' As of second year, she was a lot bigger than Harry and is described as being 'no pixie' and 'ugly'. She partners Hermione at the Duelling Club, where she ignores her wand and traps Hermione in a headlock. Millicent left one of her cat's hairs on Hermione's back after the wrestling match, which Hermione made the Polyjuice Potion with because she thought it had belonged to Millicent. This meant that when Hermione drank the potion (which was a sick shade of yellow) she turned into Millicent Bulstrode's cat in second year and was in the hospital wing for weeks. The catlike human she turned into was black, with yellow eyes. Hermione and Millicent clashed again in book 5, when Millicent pinned her against the wall in Umbridge's office. Hermione started to cry into the back of Millicent's robes when Umbridge tried to use the Cruciatus Curse on Harry, and Millicent let her go in disgust.
