O IN THE WIZARY
Everyone In
the Wizardin
World (So Far
Before his 11th birthday, Harry Potter’s world consisted only
of a gaunt aunt, a dull drill salesman, a bratty cousin, a chatty
Brazilian boa constrictor, a crazy old cat lady and the spiders
who shared his cupboard under the stairs at number four, Privet
Drive. After seven best-selling novels (plus supplementary
books) spawned a subsequent slew of blockbuster films, two
theme parks and even a Broadway play, it’s clearer than ever
that we've only scratched the surface of J.K. Rowling’s ever-
expanding wizarding world.
To dive into Harry’s story is to immerse yourself in the
richness of a magical universe filled with wizarding history,
culture and lore. A world of witches, wizards, owls, elves, non-
magical people, anti-non-magical-people people, folks who
can talk to snakes and snakes who used to be folks. There are
mind-readers, shape-shifters, centaurs, giants, ghosts (nearly
headless and fully formed) and one enormous, extremely ill-
tempered tree.
This guide showcases every character mentioned in the
Harry Potter books, films and play: the good, the bad and the
misunderstood. Rowling’s collection of mystical multitudes is
what makes the wizarding world so enchanting. Without them,
Harry never would’ve left his cupboard, nor would we—after
more than 20 years—keep coming back for more.

W Dumbledore, was given to his aunt to be taken by
ship to America. During the journey, a young Leta
Lestrange replaced Credence with her half-brother, Corvus Jr.,
who was bothering her with his crying. This impromptu switch
went unnoticed by anyone else. The boat sank, and Credence
escaped on a lifeboat with Leta while Corvus Jr. drowned.
Once in America, Credence was adopted and raised by
the abusive Mary Lou Barebone, leader of the New Salem
Philanthropic Society, an anti-witchcraft society. She gave him
a new name: Credence Barebone. The abuse and suppression
of his then-unknown magical powers caused the formation of
an Obscurus. Disguised as Percival Graves, Gellert Grindelwald
sensed immense power near Credence. Intrigued, the Dark
wizard forms a relationship with him, promising to make
Credence a wizard. After further abuse from Mary Lou,
Credence releases his Obscurus, killing her and proving to
Grindelwald that Credence is the power he sought.
Aware of Grindelwald’s attempts to manipulate him, Credence
flees in Obscurus form, wreaking havoc across New York City.
Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein attempt to save him during
a confrontation with Grindelwald, but MACUSA attacks and
Credence appears to die in the skirmish.
In fact, he manages to escape and joins the Circus Arcanus,
a traveling wizarding circus, in search of his true identity. The
circus sails to Europe and he befriends a Maledictus named
Nagini. In Paris, Grindelwald persuades Credence tojoin his
cause. Believing Grindelwald is the only way to discover his true
identity, Credence joins him and they travel to Nurmengard
along with Grindelwald’s other allies. Finally, Grindelwald reveals
Credence’s true identity as Aurelius Dumbledore.

S irius Black—godfather to Harry Potter—is a pure-


blood wizard and brother of Regulus Black. Born on
November 3, 1959, Sirius clashed with his family’s ties
to Slytherin House, pure-blood elitism and involvement
in the Dark Arts. His friendships with James Potter and
Remus Lupin were influential during his time at Hogwarts,
and the three of them—along with Peter Pettigrew—called
themselves the Marauders. Like his friends, Sirius became
an unregistered Animagus, taking the shape of a large,
shaggy black dog; this earned him the nicknames Padfoot
and Snuffles.
During the First Wizarding War, Sirius joined the Order of
the Phoenix. When Lily and James Potter were murdered
because of Peter Pettigrew’s disloyalty, Sirius was sent to the
wizarding prison Azkaban for murdering Pettigrew and twelve
Muggles. Only Sirius and Pettigrew knew Pettigrew had faked
his death and Sirius had been wrongly imprisoned.
In 1993, Sirius escapes Azkaban. Hiding in his Animagus
form at Hogwarts, he plots to both take his revenge on
Pettigrew and reconnect with his godson, Harry. During this
attempt, Sirius is captured by the Marauders’ old rival (now
Hogwarts Potions professor) Severus Snape but manages to
escape ona hippogriff with help from Harry.
During the Second Wizarding War, Sirius rejoins the Order

elf Winky in possession of the wand that produced the
Dark Mark. When the Improper Use of Magic Office tries to
imprison Alastor Moody for a disturbance involving exploding
dustbins, Amos goes straight to his colleague, Arthur Weasley,
to protect the ex-Auror.
Amos lives near the Weasley family with his wife, the

Harry fell, he offers Gryffindor a rematch.
During the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric is selected as the
Hogwarts school champion before Harry is mysteriously chosen
as a fourth champion. Throughout the tournament, Cedric and
Harry exhibit only goodwill toward each other: Harry reveals the
first Task is to get past dragons, and in turn, Cedric gives Harry a
hint to decipher the strange egg in the second Task. Harry also
suspects Cedric discourages his fellow Hufflepuffs from wearing
the “Support Cedric Diggory! / POTTER STINKS” badges floating

two champions grab the Cup and are immediately transported

orders his servant Wormtail to murder Cedric. After witnessing
Voldemort’s return to power, Harry takes Cedric’s body and
escapes. At the end of the school year, Hogwarts holds a somber

In Cursed Child, Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy attempt
to go back in time and save Cedric’s life by preventing him from

f Ibus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (1881-1997) is


the Headmaster of Hogwarts during Harry’s time there,
a father figure to Harry, as well as a legendary wizard
in his own right with superior intelligence and magical skill. A
benevolent figure in the wizarding world, he is kind and calm
yet decidedly eccentric, with a love of knitting patterns, Muggle
candy, chamber music and tenpin bowling. However, he is also
extremely secretive regarding his plans for battling Dark forces—
in many ways, he acts as a puppet master and occasionally
shows disregard for an individual’s well-being in favor of the
greater good.
Born to Percival and Kendra Dumbledore, Albus has a
younger brother, Aberforth, and a younger sister, Ariana.
After an attack by Muggles traumatizes Ariana and results in
Percival going to prison, the family moves to Godric’s Hollow.
At 17, Albus meets and falls in love with Gellert Grindelwald.
The two wizards concoct plans regarding wizarding dominance
over Muggles, something which Albus later regrets. When a
fight breaks out between Albus, Aberforth and Grindelwald,
Ariana is accidentally killed. Horrified, Albus parts ways with
Grindelwald and carries this guilt for the rest of his life.
In The Crimes of Grindelwald, it is revealed that Albus
Dumbledore and Grindelwald made a blood pact to never fight
each other. As a result, when Grindelwald rises to power in
subsequent decades with the goal of instituting plans to ignite
a wizarding revolution, Dumbledore cannot directly oppose the
Dark wizard himself. Instead, he tries to thwart Grindelwald by
acting through friends such as Newt Scamander. The blood pact
is eventually destroyed (presumably), and Dumbledore later
defeats Grindelwald in an epic duel in 1945.

Kendra Dumbledore
First mentioned in Deathly Hallows, Kendra Dumbledore was the mother of Albus,
Aberforth and Ariana. She was killed by an outburst of magic from her daughter, a fact
the Dumbledore brothers kept private. This led to heavy speculation about the family.

Percival Dumbledore
First mentioned in Deathly Hallows, Percival Dumbledore was the father of Albus,
Aberforth and Ariana Dumbledore. He attacked the three male Muggles who assaulted
his daughter and was sentenced to Azkaban, where he served his sentence until he died.

First mentioned in Sorcerer’s Stone, the large Marjorie Dursley is the sister of Vernon

D udley Dursley, the only son of Vernon and Petunia Dursley, bullies
Harry Potter throughout his childhood. Coddled by his mother
and spoiled by his father, Dudley is constantly gifted new items
while Harry is forced to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs. When
Rubeus Hagrid arrives to deliver Harry’s Hogwarts letter and Dudley
helps himself to Harry’s birthday cake, Hagrid gives Dudley a pig’s tail that
has to be surgically removed at a private hospital. Years later, when the
Weasleys come to retrieve Harry, twins Fred and George leave Dudley a
Ton-Tongue Toffee, causing his tongue to swell. These incidents caused
him to fear and hate magic as much as his father. In his teens, he takes
up boxing and forms a gang, terrorizing the neighborhood and bullying
younger kids. After Harry saves Dudley from a Dementor attack, Dudley's
harsh attitude toward his “freak” cousin starts to soften, and the two
eventually reconcile. In Cursed Child, Dudley sends along the blanket a

Tina brings Newt Scamander and his No-Maj sidekick, Jacob
Kowalski, to their home. Queenie had never before socalized
with a No-Maj, as Rappaport’s Law prohibited relationships
between magical and non-magical people. The next day,
she helps save Tina and Newt from execution for allegedly
conspiring with the Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Despite
the law, romance sparks between Queenie and Jacob. When
an Obscurial attacks the city, Queenie fears for the life of her
sister and new friends. Her joy in discovering they survived
immediately turns to despair upon learning all No-Majs who
witnessed the attack would have their memories modified.
Queenie and Jacob share a kiss before he is forced to forget
everything about the magical world.
Months later, Newt discovers Queenie has reunited with
Jacob and placed her unwitting sweetheart under a love
charm. Shocked at her audacity, Newt convinces her to lift the
unethical enchantment. Jacob, having regained his senses,
refuses to marry Queenie for fear of breaking wizarding law.
Alone and distraught, the vulnerable witch becomes an easy
target for Grindelwald, who promises her a world where she
and Jacob can be together. After persuading Queenie tojoin
his cause, Grindelwald promptly takes advantage of her mind-
reading abilities to determine what it would take to recruit
Credence Barebone to fight alongside him.

7 ina Goldstein is an Auror who worked at MACUSA.


Compassionate and determined, she sacrifices her
coveted Auror status after using magic in front of No-
Majs to help Credence Barebone, who had suffered abuse at
the hands of his magic-hating adopted mother.
Upon first meeting Newt Scamander, she arrests the
Magizoologist for performing magic in front of a No-Maj,
Jacob Kowalski, in the hopes that doing so will restore her
lost status (it does not). Following an incident involving Newt's
escaped magical creatures, Tina and Newt are accused of
conspiring with Gellert Grindelwald and are sentenced to
die by death potion. At the last second, Newt unleashes a
Swooping Evil, rescuing Tina from a certain death, and the two
escape along with her sister Queenie and Jacob. Later, Tina
recognizes Credence when his Obscurus goes on a rampage
across the city and attempts to calm him down. After she
helps to reveal Grindelwald had been masquerading as the
Auror Percival Graves, MACUSA reinstates her Auror status.
In The Crimes of Grindelwald, Tina misinterprets an
article in the news; believing Newt and Leta Lestrange have
announced their engagement, she breaks off contact with
him. After hearing Credence has been spotted in Paris, Tina
travels to France to find him. She is soon captured by Yusuf
Kama, a wizard determined to kill Credence. Newt and
Jacob rescue Tina, who immediately resumes her search for
Credence. Determined to win back Tina’s favor, Newt agrees
to infiltrate the French Ministry of Magic to find Credence’s
records; this proves to be a false paper trail. Unfortunately,
Tina is unable to dissuade her sister from joining the Dark
wizard’s cause. Tina and Newt eventually marry.

is most often the detective, the researcher, the brains and

In Hermione’s first year of school, she uses her powers

escape the Devil’s Snare and solves the Potions puzzle.

puts all her efforts into figuring out the identity of the Heir
of Slytherin, including brewing Polyjuice Potion by herself.

R ubeus Hagrid is the half-giant gamekeeper and, as of


Harry Potter's third year, Care of Magical Creatures
teacher at Hogwarts, a member of the Order of the
Phoenix and a good friend to Harry. When Hagrid himself
was a student at Hogwarts, he was expelled after being
falsely accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets. Albus
Dumbledore, who believes in his innocence, allows him to stay
at the school as gamekeeper, earning Dumbledore Hagrid’s
fierce loyalty.
Immediately after Harry's parents are killed in 1981, Hagrid
rescues the young Harry from the Potters’ destroyed house
and delivers him to the Dursleys. Ten years later, Hagrid brings
Harry his acceptance letter to Hogwarts and is the first to
properly introduce him to the wizarding world.
Hagrid has a particular love of dangerous creatures,
including but not limited to dragons, Acromantulas, Fluffy
the three-headed dog and Blast-Ended Skrewts, the latter of
which he breeds himself. Despite this and his towering stature,
he is kind, caring and sensitive. After Voldemort’s return in
1995, Dumbledore sends Hagrid and fellow half-giant Olympe
Maxime to the mountains to ally with the giants. Hagrid soon
discovers he has a half-brother, Grawp, a 16-foot giant who is
bullied by the other giants for being (in their opinion) small. He
takes Grawp back to live in hiding in the Forbidden Forest.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hagrid is captured by
Death Eaters. Later, Voldemort forces Hagrid, sobbing with
grief, to carry Harry’s lifeless body out of the forest for
everyone to see. In the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, Hagrid
is living and presumably working at Hogwarts by the time
Harry’s children attend.

K reacher is a house-elf who serves the Black family and was


especially loyal to former master Regulus Black. In 1979, Lord
Voldemort took Kreacher to a sea cave where he planned to
store a Horcrux, forced Kreacher to drink a potion, then left him to
die. Fortunately, the house-elf was able to Disapparate to safety.
This incident prompted Regulus to secretly turn against the Dark
Lord. The youngest Black son returned to the cave with Kreacher,
drank a cursed potion to retrieve the Horcrux, replaced it with a
fake, then ordered Kreacher to leave. Bound to obey his master’s
orders, the house-elf was forced to Disapparate and last saw his
weakened master being pulled into the water by Voldemort’s Inferi.
Kreacher returned to serve the Black family but was unable to
destroy the Horcrux, as Regulus had told him to. Upon Walburga
Black’s death, Sirius Black became Kreacher’s master, and Kreacher
openly loathed him.
After Sirius dies in 1996, Harry inherits Kreacher; eventually his
kindness earns the grumpy elf’s loyalty. Kreacher leads the house-
elves in a charge against Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts,
which he survives.
According to J.K. Rowling’s Twitter account, Kreacher later dies
at the age of 666.

APPEARANCE Stocky; light skin; brown, been sortedinei anes

J acob Kowalski is an American No-Maj who lives in New York City during
the 1920s. In December 1926, he goes to a bank and applies for a loan to
open a bakery, but is denied. He soon meets Newt Scamander, a British
wizard and magizoologist, and accidentally witnesses a summoning charm.
Newt attempts to Obliviate the startled No-Maj but can't finish the spell—
Jacob hits Newt with his magical briefcase and runs away as fast as his legs
can carry him.
Shortly after he arrives home, the suitcase explodes with several magical
beasts keen on making their great escape. Newt and Tina Goldstein arrive on
the scene and whisk him to Tina's apartment to treat a bite he received from
a wayward Murtlap. Sharing the space is Tina's sister, Queenie Goldstein,
who quickly takes a shine to the bewildered Jacob. The friends travel all
over the city in a frantic search to find the other missing magical beasts, but
their adventures come to a halt when MACUSA captures them and Jacob's
memories are erased.
Newt anonymously gifts his No-Maj friend valuable Occamy shells, which
Jacob uses as collateral to open his bakery. Around this time, Queenie places
a love charm on her beau, hoping to marry him even though their relationship
is clearly prohibited under wizarding law. Newt breaks the charm, and
although Jacob attempts to reassure Queenie of his love, she flees to France
to be with her sister. After a long chase, they come to find Queenie has joined
Gellert Grindelwald’s terrible cause. Heartbroken, Jacob parts ways with her
again and heads with Newt to find Albus Dumbledore.

Hermione are thrown into the spotlight when she is the hostage he must
rescue from danger during the second Task.
In the third Task, Barty Crouch Jr. places Viktor under the Imperius

at the Cup (and a one-way ticket to Voldemort). After the Tournament,
Viktor parts on good terms with Harry and Ron, and maintains a warm,

HOUSE Slytherin safeguard one of his precious Horcruxes.

B ellatrix Lestrange is one of Voldemort's most trusted lieutenants and


certainly his most vicious, sadistic follower. A powerful adversary, she was
sent to Azkaban in 1981 for using the Cruciatus Curse on Alice and Frank
Longbottom until they went insane. Years later, Bellatrix and a slew of other
Death Eaters escape Azkaban in an unprecedented breakout.
In Order of the Phoenix, Bellatrix participates in the Battle of the Department
of Mysteries, torturing Neville Longbottom and murdering her cousin, Sirius
Black. Harry attempts to use the Cruciatus Curse on her, but she is quick to
point out he can’t summon the malevolence necessary to cast the spell. Later,
Bellatrix performs the Unbreakable Vow between Severus Snape and her
sister, Narcissa Malfoy, when Snape promises to help kill Dumbledore in order
to protect Draco Malfoy. When Harry, Ron and Hermione are taken to Malfoy
Manor, Bellatrix tortures Hermione after discovering the sword of Gryffindor
among their possessions, convinced they broke into her vault at Gringotts to
steal it. Dobby arrives in time to rescue his friends, and despite throwing a well-
aimed knife that kills Dobby, Harry manages to get away. For this egregious sin,
the vicious Dark witch is forced to face her master’s unimaginable wrath.
Bellatrix remains with Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts. When
she makes the poor decision to target Ginny, Bellatrix is finally laid low by
an infuriated Molly Weasley. In Cursed Child, it is revealed that Bellatrix
and Voldemort had a daughter together, Delphi, who tries to bring

I.ord Voldemort is a powerful Dark wizard. Most witches and


wizards are afraid to speak his name and call him You-Know-Who,
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named or the Dark Lord.
Voldemort’s mother, Merope, bewitched a Muggle, Tom Riddle Sr.
into marrying her. When the enchantment faded, Tom Sr. abandoned
his wife. She died in poverty after surrendering her son, Tom Marvolo
Riddle, to a Muggle orphanage. When Albus Dumbledore visited
the orphanage to deliver Tom’s Hogwarts letter, he learned that the
caretakers suspected Tom was cruel to his peers. At Hogwarts, Tom
was well-liked by professors with the exception of Dumbledore, who
never forgot the orphanage matron’s disturbing stories about Tom.
Under the pretense of a model student, Tom explored the Dark
Arts. He adopted a new name, Lord Voldemort, as a means of
rejecting his “filthy Muggle father.” Voldemort learned he was the Heir
of Slytherin through his mother’s bloodline and opened the Chamber
of Secrets, then commanded the Basilisk within to attack Muggle-
born students. It killed a girl named Myrtle Warren and he framed his
classmate Hagrid and Hagrid’s pet Acromantula for the crime.
As his time at Hogwarts continued, Voldemort became obsessed
with immortality. He sought Professor Horace Slughorn’s guidance
to learn how to preserve his soul in a Horcrux. Killing Myrtle allowed
Voldemort to create his first Horcrux in the form of a diary. Years later,
12-year-old Harry Potter destroys this diary. Voldemort intentionally
created five more Horcruxes: his grandfather's gold ring, Ravenclaw’s
diadem, Hufflepuff’s cup, Slytherin’s locket and his snake Nagini.
After leaving Hogwarts, Voldemort recruited a band of followers
called Death Eaters and waged war for 11 years, murdering enough
people to form an army of reanimated corpses called Inferi.
Ten years into the war, a Seer named Sybill Trelawney predicted
a young boy born at the end of July would possess the power
to defeat the Dark Lord. Severus Snape, a Death Eater at the
time, overheard this prophecy and relayed it to his master. On

S ometimes called “Loony,” Luna Lovegood is an


eccentric witch in Ginny Weasley’s year known for her
unique sense of style, which includes earrings made
of Dirigible plums and a Butterbeer-cork necklace. She is
outspoken about her unusual beliefs, like her opinion that
Aurors are slowly taking over the Ministry of Magic through
gum disease. Some of her more radical ideas probably
originated from her father, Xenophilius, who is the editor-in-
chief of a wizarding tabloid magazine called The Quibbler.
When Luna was 9, she witnessed the accidental death of her
mother, Pandora.
Luna believes Harry Potter’s testimony that Lord
Voldemort had returned and convinces her father to publish
an interview with Harry in The Quibbler to spread his story to
the public. As a member of Dumbledore’s Army, Luna masters
many Defense Against the Dark Arts spells. She duels Death
Eaters during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and
again when they attack Hogwarts the following year. Luna
keeps the spirit of Dumbledore’s Army alive when Death
Eaters seize control of Hogwarts.
Luna, Ginny and Neville Longbottom attempt to steal the
sword of Gryffindor from Severus Snape’s office. Soon after,
Death Eaters abduct her to threaten and punish her father,
who had voiced his support for Harry in The Quibbler. Harry,
Ron, Hermione Granger and Dobby the house-elf rescue
Luna from Malfoy Manor, and she notably helps Harry
locate the lost diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw during the
Battle of Hogwarts. After the war, Luna becomes a magical
naturalist and marries Rolf Scamander, a grandson of famous
Magizoologist Newt Scamander. Harry names his daughter
Lily Luna as a tribute to their friendship.

R emus John Lupin, son of Lyall Lupin and Hope


Howell, was a child when he was attacked and
infected with lycanthropy by Fenrir Greyback, an
act of revenge on Remus's father by the werewolf. Despite
the stigma against his kind, Remus was invited to attend
Hogwarts, where he was Sorted into Gryffindor House by
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Each full moon, Remus
would be secretly escorted to an abandoned house on the
outskirts of Hogwarts’s grounds to prevent him from doing
harm. His friendships with James Potter and Sirius Black
were influential during his time at Hogwarts, and the three
of them, along with Peter Pettigrew, called themselves the
Marauders. James, Sirius and Peter became unregistered
Animagi in order to keep Remus, whom they nicknamed
“Moony,” company during the full moon. During this same
time, Severus Snape discovered Remus’s secret.
During the First Wizarding War, Lupin joined the
Order of the Phoenix. When Lily and James Potter were
murdered, Lupin mistakenly believed Sirius had betrayed
the Potters.
In 1993, Dumbledore offered Lupin the position of
Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. While teaching at
Hogwarts, Lupin meets Harry Potter and, when Sirius comes
to hunt down Peter, learns the truth of Sirius’s innocence.
Lupin resigns from Hogwarts and, when the Second
Wizarding War breaks out, begins serving the Order once
again. He forms a romantic relationship with Nymphadora
Tonks, whom he marries, and has a son, Edward Remus
(Teddy) Lupin. Harry is named as the boy’s godfather.

s the only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy,


A Draco lives a privileged life in his family’s
ancient manor house. The youngest in a long
line of pure-blood wizards, he begins his studies at
Hogwarts with his friend Vincent Crabbe, and soon
befriends Gregory Goyle. Although Draco had heard of
Harry Potter and was curious to meet him, Harry rejects
his offer of friendship and the two quickly become
nemeses.
Arrogant and self-assured, Draco expects to be
the center of attention at Hogwarts and is constantly
annoyed when Harry outshines him. Frequently, Draco’s
efforts to gain attention (and get Harry in trouble)
have unintended consequences or even backfire. Such
attempts include stealing Neville’s Remembrall, setting
Harry up with a fake midnight duel and trying to catch
Harry smuggling a baby dragon.
In his second year, Draco’s ingrained pure-blood
prejudice is brought to the surface when the Chamber
of Secrets is opened at Hogwarts, and he is not afraid
to show his pleasure at the idea of Muggle-borns being
purged from the school. Draco attempts to one-up
Harry by becoming a Seeker and even has his father buy
the newest racing brooms for the Slytherin team.
For Draco’s third year at Hogwarts, he decides to
torment Harry by going after Hagrid. Draco’s claim
that he was maimed by Buckbeak the Hippogriff allows
him to both skip an unpleasant Quidditch match and
attempt to get Buckbeak executed. Draco continues

M inerva McGonagall is the Transfiguration professor


and head of Gryffindor House during Harry’s time at
Hogwarts. She is a strict but fair teacher, loyal to Albus
Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, and she develops a
fondness for Harry.
Born in Scotland to a witch mother and Muggle father,
McGonagall was top of her class at Hogwarts and a skilled
player on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. With Dumbledore
as her Transfiguration instructor, she soon mastered the ability
to become a tabby cat Animagus. After leaving Hogwarts,
McGonagall fell in love with a Muggle but ultimately decided
against marrying him to avoid repeating her parents’ unhappy
marriage. When ajob at the Ministry of Magic left her feeling
unfulfilled, McGonagall asked Dumbledore for a teaching
position at Hogwarts and he happily obliged. After Voldemort’s
first downfall, McGonagall married her former boss, Elphinstone
Urquart—sadly, he died three years into their marriage.
As Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, McGonagall has little
patience for silliness and ineptitude. In Order of the Phoenix, she
detests Dolores Umbridge’s malicious interference at Hogwarts
yet is careful to keep her anger in check. Later, during the
Battle of Hogwarts, McGonagall leads the defense of the castle,
even going so far as to duel Voldemort with help from Horace
Slughorn and Kingsley Shacklebolt.
In Cursed Child, McGonagall has become the Headmistress
of Hogwarts. After learning about Albus Potter and Scorpius
Malfoy’s dangerous time-altering exploits, she scolds Minister of
Magic Hermione Granger for keeping a confiscated Time-Turner
and proceeds to lecture everyone within earshot about the
horrors of a world ruled by Voldemort.

f Iso known as “the boy who lived” or “the Chosen One,” Harry
Potter became famous as a baby when his mother’s love protected
him from Lord Voldemort’s Killing Curse.
Harry was born to Lily and James Potter on July 31, 1980. After
hearing of a prophecy predicting a young boy “born as the seventh
month dies” would have the power to kill Voldemort, the Dark wizard
headed to Godric’s Hollow and murdered James and Lily on Halloween
night, 1981. However, the moment he cast the Killing Curse on Harry,
the spell backfired—Voldemort destroyed his own body, while Harry was
left unharmed, save for a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. Albus
Dumbledore arranged for the orphaned child to grow up in the care of
Lily's sister, Petunia Dursley.
During his childhood, Harry is mistreated by the Dursleys, who make
every attempt to hide the magical world from him. To everyone's shock,
Rubeus Hagrid arrives on Harry's 11th birthday with incredible news:
Harry is a famous wizard who will soon be attending Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. He introduces Harry to the wizarding world by
buying him school supplies and explaining the circumstances surrounding
James's and Lily’s deaths.
On the Hogwarts Express, Harry meets Ron Weasley and Hermione
Granger and the three quickly become inseparable. Once at school, they
hear rumors about the mysterious Sorcerer's Stone, a relic that promised
immortality to whoever held it. Harry learns Voldemort has possessed
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Quirinus Quirrell in a plot to steal
the Stone and use it to return to power. At the Mirror of Erised, Harry and
the Dark wizard face off for the second time; Lily’s protective magic keeps
Harry safe from harm, and Voldemort flees without the Stone.
As a second-year student, Harry is accused of opening the Chamber
of Secrets and unleashing the Basilisk, a massive snake notorious
for attacking Muggle-born students. He discovers that a memory of
Voldemort contained in a cursed diary has been possessing Ginny

N ewton Artemis Fido Scamander, otherwise known as


Newt, is an acclaimed magizoologist and bestselling
author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,
a guide to magical creatures and a foundational textbook
at Hogwarts. As a student at the famous wizarding school,
he bonds with fellow outcast Leta Lestrange; however, their
relationship is cut short when Newt takes the blame on his
friend’s behalf for an incident involving a Jarvey. However, Albus
Dumbledore defends him and his name is cleared.
Beginning in 1918, Newt travels the world researching magical
creatures and writes Fantastic Beasts with the goal of helping
wizards understand the value in protecting magical creatures.
He rescues a Thunderbird from captivity and heads to New
York with plans to release the creature in Arizona. Before he
can embark on the final leg of his journey, a Niffler escapes his
suitcase, launching a series of events in which Newt meets Jacob
Kowalski as well as Queenie and Tina Goldstein. Many other
beasts break loose; as he rounds them up, Newt's friends help
him expose and capture the notorious Gellert Grindelwald.
By 1927, the success of Fantastic Beasts has catapulted a
reluctant Newt into the spotlight. After Grindelwald escapes
MACUSA and resurfaces in Paris, Dumbledore persuades Newt
to safeguard an Obscurial named Credence Barebone from the
Dark wizard. Newt and his friends attend one of Grindelwald's
rallies, but a fight breaks out when Aurors arrive on the scene
and Leta is killed. Her death devastates Newt and his brother
Theseus, to whom Leta had been engaged. Eventually Newt
marries Tina Goldstein; after their retirement, the couple live in
Dorset with their three pet Kneazles.

S everus Snape—the only child of Eileen Prince, a witch and


Tobias Snape, a Muggle—grew up neglected by his parents.
Asa child, he took notice when a neighborhood girl, Lily
Evans, showed signs of having magical abilities. Snape introduced
her to the wizarding world, and the two young wizards formed a
quick and strong friendship.
At Hogwarts, Snape happily joined Slytherin House but was
devastated to see Lily sorted into Gryffindor. Introverted and
highly intelligent, the gifted student spent his school years
inventing new spells, demonstrating a unique aptitude for curses
and hexes. He also perfected several potion-making techniques
and carefully noted them in his Potions textbook, which he
inscribed with his preferred nickname, the Half-Blood Prince.
Snape soon befriended several Slytherin students who banded
together and joined Lord Voldemort'’s cause.
Two Gryffindor students quickly took to bullying the sarcastic
Slytherin—of the two, James Potter took the greatest pleasure
in harrassing Snape, frequently taunting him and calling him
“Snivellus.” Lily, however, often stuck up for her sullen friend,
much to James's annoyance. On one particularly horrible day,
Snape lost his temper with James and lashed out at Lily, calling
her a Mudblood. Incensed and embarrassed, he immediately
regretted blurting out the insult, but the damage was done; Lily
never forgave him. The memory of this terrible mistake haunts
Snape for the rest of his life.
After leaving Hogwarts, Snape became a Death Eater
and was dismayed to learn his beloved Lily had, of all things,

open the Chamber of Secrets and unleash the Basilisk on Muggle-
born students. When Harry hears his best friend's little sister has
been left to die in the Chamber, he and Ron immediately take
it upon themselves to rescue Ginny. She later proves a capable
member of Dumbledore’s Army by battling Death Eaters at the
Department of Mysteries. In her fifth year, an enamored Ginny
catches Harry’s eye and the two begin dating. She makes every
effort to resist the Death Eaters’ occupation of Hogwarts, holding
down the fort while Harry leaves to hunt down Voldemort’s
Horcruxes. When Molly and Arthur forbid their underage
daughter from fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts, Ginny ignores
them and joins the fray anyway. When Bellatrix Lestrange’s killing
curse barely misses her, Ginny’s ever-protective mother, Molly,
steps in to silence the bloodthirsty Death Eater for good.
By the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, Ginny and Harry are
married and have three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus
and Lily Luna. In Cursed Child, she helps thwart the evil plans of
Voldemort’s daughter, Delphi.

R on Weasley grows up at the Burrow, a comfy and eclectic


magical home near the village of Ottery St. Catchpole
in Devon. He has five older brothers and one younger
sister, and his family stretches every knut. On his first train ride
to Hogwarts, Ron meets the famous Harry Potter and the two
immediately become best friends.
Like the rest of the Weasley family, Ron is soon Sorted
into Gryffindor, and he constantly worries about being
overshadowed by his brothers. However, with Harry by his side,
Ron starts to make a name for himself through their spectacular
adventures. On Halloween, Ron knocks out a mountain troll
with its own club, earning him the friendship of Hermione
Granger. When their friend Rubeus Hagrid tries to take care of
an illegal dragon, Ron calls upon his older brother Charlie for
help and ends up getting bitten by the dragon. The trio attempt
to retrieve the Sorcerer’s Stone and Ron uses his chess skills to
get past Professor McGonagall’s obstacle, eventually sacrificing
himself so Harry and Hermione can go on and save the Stone.
As asecond-year student, Ron rescues Harry from the
Dursleys with his father’s flying car, then comes up with the
questionable idea of flying the whole way to school after the
two friends miss the Hogwarts Express. Ron attempts to defend
Hermione after Draco Malfoy calls her “Mudblood,” but winds
up on the business end of a slug attack after his broken hand-
me-down wand backfires. In the Forbidden Forest, he confronts
his worst fear—giant spiders—in order to get information to bring
down the Heir of Slytherin. Bravest of all, Ron journeys into the
Chamber of Secrets to save his possessed sister, Ginny.
In his third year, tensions run high between Ron and Hermione
when he believes her cat, Crookshanks, ate his rat, Scabbers.
