] Crabbe and Goyle

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle are Slytherin students in Harry's year; both of their fathers,Crabbe Sr and Goyle Srare Death Eaters. Due to their size and stren

act as Draco Malfoy's minions and serve to intimidate fellow students. Crabbe and Goyle are both brawn-over-brains type; they are entirely lacking in introspection or

inquisitiveness. They seem unable to make up their own minds or to see things their own way. Nonetheless, Crabbe is depicted as slightly more intelligent than GoylePotter and the Philosopher's Stone, he is handpicked by Malfoy as his second in the Midnight Duel with Harry that never takes place.

Crabbe and Goyle make their first and only appearance as new Slytherin QuidditchBeaters in the opening match against Gryffindor in their fifth year; after Harry catc

The three of them are reunited in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . Both of them speak for the first time, Crabbe's voice being described as "oddly soft for somehuge frame" and Goyle's simply as a grunt. Crabbe has sided with the Death Eaters with more conviction than either Goyle or Malfoy, and becomes increasingly indep

with Malfoy by Harry, Ron and Hermione. Goyle and Malfoy are left mourning Crabbe's death.

[edit] Cedric Diggory

Cedric Diggory is aHufflepuffstudent two years above Harry. In addition to being a Hufflepuff prefect, he is the house Quidditch captain and Seeker. His father is ADiggory, who works at the Ministry of Magic. Cedric is first mentioned inHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when he is described by the female Gryffindor C"strong and silent" amid giggles prior to the Hufflepuff-Gryffindor match, and shows a notable streak of modesty and fairness; when he catches the Snitch and wins th

Harry falls off his broomstick following an encounter with the Dementors, he wants the end result nullified and the match replayed.

InHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , Cedric is selected as the Hogwarts champion for theTriwizard Tournament. After Harry is also picked to compete, Malfoy maCedric 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 orde

As compensatiwarning about the dragons before 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' b

and just "mull things over in the hot water." Cedric is the second of the four champions to reach the village of the merpeople and rescue his hostage, using aBubble-H

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

together. The cup turns out to be aPortkey which transports them to the Little Hangleton graveyard, where Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew await Harry's arrival; PettigCedric on the spot upon Voldemort's order to "kill the spare." In the midst of thePriori Incantatem effect during Harry's duel with Voldemort, Cedric's spirit appears aHarry to take his body back to his parents. Despite an attempted cover-up of the incident by the Ministry, Dumbledore candidly reveals the true nature of Cedric's dem

students at the end-of-term feast, stating that to attribute it to an accident would be "an insult to his memory."

Robert Pattinson appeared as Cedric in the film adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire .

[edit] Cormac McLaggen

Cormac McLaggen is a Gryffindor student one year above Harry. He is introduced for the first time during the train journey to Hogwarts in Half-Blood Prince as a mHorace Slughorn's Slug Club, due to his uncle's close ties with the Ministry of Magic. Cormac is shown as an unsympathetic Gryffindor character, and his Gryffindor both a strength and a flaw: he is foolhardy and proud, bordering on arrogant. Cormac tries out for the position ofKeeperwhen Harry becomes captain; however, Herm

jinxes him with the Confundus Charm, causing him to miss his last save and thus helping Ron retain his spot on the team. Cormac does not take his loss well, accusing

favouritism by giving Ron easy shots to block.

Cormac 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 of focusing on his own position, knocks Harry unconscious with a Beater's bat, and contributes to Gryffindor's lopsided 320-60 loss, thus earning him universal dislike

housemates. Cormac also briefly becomes a pawn in the escalating tensions between Ron and Hermione, as he is Hermione's date at Slughorn's Christmas party in reta

Ron's relationship with Lavender Brown. The plan backfires when she becomes exasperated with McLaggen's arrogant behaviour, and she leaves him stranded under t

and avoids him for the remainder of the party.

Freddie Stroma will portray McLaggen in the film adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

[edit] Pansy Parkinson

Pansy Parkinson is a Slytherin student who is described as pug-faced and frequently seen with an unnamed gang of Slytherin girls, acting as leader or at least as spok

them. She is also Draco Malfoy's female counterpart and apparent love interest. She is first mentioned in the Sorting inPhilosopher's Stone, and makes her first appeaMadam Hooch's flying class, during which she teases Parvati Patil for defendingNeville Longbottom after Draco steals Longbottom'sRemembrall. InPrisoner of Azkcries and follows Malfoy to the hospital wing after he is attacked byBuckbeak, and continues to fawn over him despite his deliberate exaggeration of the extent of his

attended the Yule Ball together in Goblet of Fire, and on the train ride to Hogwarts at the start ofHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, she is seen stroking Malfoyhis head lay in her lap, visibly impressed by his bold claims concerning his job for Voldemort.

Throughout the series, Pansy regularly mocks Harry and his companions. She gives false information on Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid to Rita Skeeter, and openly voiof Hagrid to Umbridge about the displeasure of hisCare of Magical Creatures class and the difficulty of understanding his voice. She and other Slytherins also taunt thQuidditch players from the stands during a morning practice, notably teasing Angelina Johnsonabout her braided hair. During a Gryffindor-Slytherin match, which is

debut as the new Gryffindor Keeper, she conducts the Slytherin students as they sing a demeaning song titled "Weasley is our King."

Pansy has a moderately increased role inHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She is made a Slytherinprefect along with Malfoy, and later joins Dolores UmbrInquisitorial Squad. When Dumbledore's Army flees the Room of Requirement following Dobby's revelation of an informant, Pansy searches the girls' bathrooms for

members and seizes Hermione's list of names as evidence. However, the Inquisitorial Squad members are jinxed in the midst of a student rebellion followingFred and

Weasley's departure from Hogwarts; she is hospitalised and misses a day's worth of lessons after sprouting a pair of antlers. Near the conclusion ofDeathly Hallows, wVoldemort demands Harry's surrender in order to prevent the Death Eaters from attacking Hogwarts, Pansy urges Minerva McGonagallto comply, and the Gryffindor

Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs collectively respond by standing up and flashing their wands at her. She eventually evacuates with the other Slytherins rather than staying

Rowling has stated that she loathes Pansy, saying that she was based on girls who had teased her during her school days.[1]

] Frank Bryce

Frank Bryce is a reclusive World War II veteran who worked as the caretaker of the Riddle family mansioninLittle Hangleton. In1943the Riddles were murdered b

Marvolo Riddle(later to become Lord Voldemort), and since Bryce had the keys to the large house where the deaths occurred, he was arrested by the local police and

connection with the murders of the Riddle family. As there was lack of evidence (because the bodies were unmarked as theKilling Curse leaves no sign of violence or

the victims) the police could not prove that the Riddles had been murdered, and were forced to release Bryce. However, the community of Little Hangleton still believbe 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.

In the beginning ofHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Voldemort secretly returns to the Riddle house. Bryce inadvertently finds himself overhearing Voldemort's plHarry, but the snake Nagini finds him and reveals his presence to Voldemort, who kills him almost immediately with the Avada Kedavra curse. He appears once more

Dumbledore states his belief inHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Princethat the murder of Bryce was used to create Voldemort's presumably sixth and final Horcrux, Nagini. However, Rowling later said Voldemort used the earlier murder ofBertha Jorkinsfor this.[3]

Eric Sykes appeared as Bryce in the film adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire .

[edit] Gabrielle Delacour

Gabrielle Delacour is the only younger sister ofFleur Delacour. Her age in Goblet of Fire is estimated by Harry to be no more than eight years old, and this statemenreinforced when it is stated inDeathly Hallows that she is eleven. During the Triwizard Tournament, in which Fleur is the champion for Beauxbatons, Gabrielle is chowith Ron, Hermione, and Cho Chang to be the underwater "bait" for the champions to rescue. Fleur does not manage to rescue Gabrielle in time because she is held ba

Grindylows and is forced to return, but Harry goes on to save her in addition to his own hostage. Fleur hints inHalf-Blood Prince that Gabrielle (much like the young developed a crush on Harry, since she "never stops talking" about him. Gabrielle and Ginny serve as bridesmaids at Bill and Fleur's wedding inDeathly Hallows. Her heritage begins to develop as she matures; she is called a "Fleur in miniature". She retains the crush on Harry at that time, causing Ginny to clear her throat loudly in m

when she throws him a flirtatious look.

Gabrielle was portrayed by Angelica Mandy in the film adaptation ofGoblet of Fire.

[edit] Gellert Grindelwald

Gellert Grindelwald is a Darkwizard who, in a list of "Most Dangerous Dark Wizards of All Time", would be second only to Voldemort, according to Rita Skeeter's

Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore . His name is first mentioned on Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card, which notes that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945.

Grindelwald attended the wizarding schoolDurmstrang, from which he was expelled in his sixth year for his dangerous and evil experiments that nearly resulted in thesome of his fellow students. He left the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on one of the walls in Durmstrang before departing. After Durmstrang, he went to live with his

Bathilda Bagshot in Godric's Hollow, where he met a young Dumbledore. InDeathly Hallows, it was revealed that Grindelwald had gone to Godric's Hollow to investgrave of the Peverell brothers (the original owners of the Hallows), but s truck up a close friendship with Dumbledore, and the two planned to establish a new world or

wizards would rule over Muggles "for the greater good" (the phrase later became Grindelwald's excuse for the atrocities he committed in his reign of terror).

[edit] Rita Skeeter

Miranda Richardsonas Rita Skeeter inHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Rita Skeeter is a reporter for theDaily Prophetand a correspondent for the Witch Weekly, who specialises in yellow journalism, for which she is armed with such maas the Quick-Quotes Quill. Rita is an unregistered Animagus, capable of transforming into a beetle to spy on unsuspecting victims for her stories. As a reporter who fainformation in order to write an appealing story, she is an antagonist to Harry and his friends throughout Goblet of Fire.

It has been speculated that the fraught relationship between Rowling and the press was the inspiration for the author to develop the character. However, Rowling noted

the character actually predates her rise to fame: "People have asked me whether Rita Skeeter was invented [to reflectHarry Potter's popularity], but in fact she was al

planned."[10] Rita was intended to be inPhilosopher's Stone, as Rowling revealed in an interview: "you know when Harry walks into the Leaky Cauldron for the first tieveryone says, "Mr. Potter you're back!", I wanted to put a journalist in there. She wasn't called Rita then but she was a woman. And then I thought, as I looked at the

thought, that's not really where she fits best, she fits best in Four when Harry's supposed to come to terms with his fame."[11]

Harry first encounters Rita when she interviews the Triwizard Tournament contestants for an article in theDaily Prophet, which turns out to be a highly falsified storyhimself. During the situations where Rita overhears information, the book subtly refers to her presence:Viktor Krum mentions that Hermione has a water beetle in he

during the Yule Ball, she overhears Hagrid telling Madame Maxime that he is half-giant, Harry having noticed a beetle on a nearby statue. Rita prints an article that po

Hagrid as dangerous, prompting letters from parents frightened by the idea of having a "ferocious" giant teach their children. When Rita encounters Harry, Ron, and HHogsmeade, Hermione insults her. Rita, in revenge, then writes a nasty story about Hermione based on false rumours provided byPansy Parkinson, making her out to

but skilled witch who uses love potions to "satisfy her taste for celebrity wizards," including Harry and Krum. Rita's last defaming article states that Harry is "disturbe

dangerous," and uses comments from Draco and his Slytherin cronies as its basis. Ultimately, Hermione discovers the means by which Rita spies on others and forces

her quill to herself for a full year", threatening to report her to the authorities as an illegal Animagus.

InHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Hermioneblackmails Rita, using the above threat, to interview Harry about Voldemort returning and to submit the true Quibbler. Rita later makes a brief cameo inHalf-Blood Prince, where Harry is infuriated to notice her clutching a notebook at Dumbledore's funeral. Although Rita doa physical appearance inDeathly Hallows, she is mentioned on numerous occasions throughout the novel, generally in a negative light in relation to her unauthorised Dumbledore entitled The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. The book depicts the former headmaster in an extremely negative light. It is implied that she got some oinformation in unethical or illegal ways.[12]

When asked on a web chat if Rita was still reporting, Rowling answered; "Naturally, what could stop Rita? I imagine she immediately dashed off a biography of Harry

defeated Voldemort. One quarter truth to three quarters rubbish", along with "Snape: Scoundrel or Saint?"[8]

Miranda Richardsonappeared as Rita in the film adaptation ofGoblet of Fire.
