Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – Character Bios

Harry Potter

Harry’s beginning his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and this year, he’s facing his darkest and most difficult challenges yet. In addition to frequent pains in that legendary lighting bolt shaped scar of his, he’s having terrifyingly real nightmares about Lord Voldemort and someone at Hogwarts obviously wants him dead; why else would someone go out of their way to illegally enter him in the Triwizard Tournament? But when Harry’s name comes flying out of the Goblet of Fire, making him the fourth champion, it causes quite the stir. Even Ron, jealous of Harry’s constant attention, estranges himself from his best friend. Over the course of the year, Harry faces dragons, merpeople, a terrifying maze, and even Voldemort himself, but all of this pales in comparison to the task of asking Cho Chang to the Yule Ball.

Ron Weasley

The Fourth Year finds everyone’s favourite freckle-faced redhead more in Harry Potter’s shadow than ever. At first, Ron becomes jealous of Harry’s chance at glory when his name is drawn from the Goblet. Ron even shuts Harry out entirely until the first task, but once he sees him battle a dragon, Ron realizes that Harry couldn’t possibly have been crazy enough to put his name in the Goblet and he starts talking to him again. If he can’t have Harry by his side when looking for a date to the Yule Ball, who will he have? Besides, if he weren’t Harry’s best friend, he wouldn’t get that sought-after kiss on the cheek from Fleur Delacour for ‘helping to save’ her sister in the second task when Harry rescued both him and Gabrielle from the merpeople in the Black Lake. And what fourteen-year-old boy doesn’t want a kiss from a beautiful Veela?

Hermione Granger

No longer the buck-toothed girl of previous books, Hermione is as much of a know-it-all as ever, but she’s finally catching the attention of boys for the first time, including an international Quidditch player/Triwizard champion and her own friend Ron who becomes rather jealous of her relationship with Viktor Krum, the Durmstrang Champion. Add to that all the good and bad press she gets for being Harry Potter’s so-called “girlfriend,” much to their dismay. But, despite all of the hate mail and snide comments from Rita Skeeter’s gullible readers, Hermione maintains her Gryffindor courage and proves herself, once again, as the brightest witch of her age, helping Harry prepare for his Triwizard tasks and even catching an illegal animagus.

Rita Skeeter

Always with her acid green Quick Quotes Quill handy, Rita Skeeter is a journalist with a nasty habit of writing articles that stretch the truth to breaking point and manipulate the thought of readers. Harry’s first encounter with her involves an article that portrayed him as a weepy boy who missed his dead parents so much that it drove him to illegally enter the Triwizard Tournament, but that isn’t even the worst of it; as time goes on, Hermione Granger gets on her bad side and Rita manages to portray her as, in the words of Ron Weasley, “a scarlet woman.” Her articles come to an abrubt halt, however, when Hermione realizes she’s an illegal animagus who can transform into a beetle. When Rita is trapped in a jar by Hermione, she is forced to agree to not write any nasty articles for an entire year or be exposed to the Ministry of Magic for her crimes as an illegal animagus.

Bozo

Bozo is Rita Skeeter’s photographer and assistant, and is with her more often than not.

Cedric Diggory

Cedric is the seventeen-year-old, legal Hogwarts champion. He is Hufflepuff’s hero as their very talented seeker who once beat Harry Potter in a Quidditch match, and now he’s the champion chosen by the Goblet to represent their school. Unfortunately, a bit of his thunder is stolen when Harry’s name also flies out of the Goblet. Rita Skeeter doesn’t even mention his name in her article on the Triwizard champions. Of course, he does get the girl that Harry has his eye on (Cho Chang) and he ties for the Triwizard cup win with Harry before the cup-—which was secretly a portkey—-transports them to the graveyard for Lord Voldemort’s resurrection, where Voldemort orders Wormtail to “kill the spare.” When Cedric reappears during Harry and Voldemort’s battle from the Priori Incantatem caused by their wands’ twin cores, Cedric’s last request is for Harry to take his body back to his father.

Fleur Delacour

With long blonde hair, incomparable beauty, and the ability to completely charm men since she’s half Veela, Fleur Delacour is the Triwizard champion for Beauxbatons. Although she finishes last in the tournament, she does manage to charm quite a few boys along the way, including Ron Weasley who practically falls over himself every time she’s around him. When Harry saves her sister after she gets disqualified in the second task, she gives both boys each a kiss on the cheek. Before she departs after the end of the tournament, though, she tells Harry that she hopes to see him again since she will be moving to England to improve her “Eenglish.”

Viktor Krum

Big and brutish, Viktor Krum is the seeker for the Bulgarian International Quidditch Team. However, he’s only seventeen and still in school at Durmstrang. Not surprisingly, he’s chosen by the Goblet to be the champion for his school. What is surprising is his romantic involvement with Hermione Granger. When Rita takes the relationship as an opportunity to make Hermione look bad and makes her out to be a harlot who is leading on both Harry and Viktor, it causes more stir than Rita ever could have hoped for. When the international Quidditch star approaches Harry, though, Harry is taken aback to discover that Krum is jealous and worried that Harry and Hermione may actually be romantically involved as Skeeter suggests. However, Krum is happy to learn that he has Hermione to himself. He even invites her to visit him over the summer.

Sirius Black

It was only at the end of the previous year that Harry discovered that the man wrongly convicted and sentenced to life in Azkaban prison was actually an innocent man and his godfather. Sirius Black, on the run from the law after his breakout from Azkaban and then Hogwarts once he was captured, fled south, but he returned to the mountains just outside of Hogsmeade when he received word from Harry about pains in his scar and that he was entered into the Triwizard Tournament. Throughout the year, he manages to meet with Harry in secret via fireplace and Hogsmeade visits and he gives Harry advice on strategy for the tournament when he can and he informs him on the dirty histories of this year’s guests at Hogwarts.

Buckbeak

Buckbeak is the Hippogriff that was previously sentenced to death before Harry and Hermione helped him escape. He has since been on the run with Sirius Black.

Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody

Another year, another Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher. This year, ex-auror Alastor Moody—commonly referred to as “Mad-Eye” because of his magical blue eye that can see out of the back of his head, through wood, and even through invisibility cloaks—is teaching the subject. As an auror, he was out there in the thick of things, fighting dark wizards. Over the course of the year, he helps Harry with the tasks, giving him advice when Harry needs it, but as it turns out, Moody isn’t really who everyone thinks he is. At least, this Moody isn’t. He’s really Mr. Crouch’s son, Barty Crouch Jr., a Death Eater. The real Moody has been locked inside his own trunk for the last school year.

Albus Dumbledore

Albus Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts School and he is well-known to be a genius. He sees much more than the average person and he uses it to his advantage. It is Dumbledore who realizes that Bertha Jorkins went missing in Albania, the very place that Voldermort was rumored to be hiding. He also is the one who figures out that Moody isn’t really Moody because the real Alastor Moody wouldn’t have taken Harry out of his sight at a time when a student had just been murdered.

Minerva McGonagall

Minerva McGonagall is the Head of Gryffindor House. She lets Harry use her classroom to practice spells for the Triwizard Tournament and when his name is chosen by the Goblet of Fire, she vehemently defends Dumbledore when Madame Maxime suggest that Dumbledore must have made a mistake when he drew the age line around the Goblet.

Severus Snape

Severus Snape is the Head of Slytherin House. It is well known that he is not at all fond of Harry. Anytime Harry does anything that could be considered at all wrong, he immediately swoops down on Harry and punishes him much more harshly than he would anyone else. When some of his potion supplies are missing from his private store, Snape automatically blames Harry and tells Harry that if anymore of his supplies go missing, his hand might just slip and drop some Veritaserum (the most powerful truth serum) in Harry’s morning pumpkin juice.

Sybill Trelawney

Sybill Trelawney is the Divination professor. Hermione often refers to her as an old fraud. While she does fake most of her predictions, she has actually given two real prophecies in her lifetime. As she loves to predict gruesome things, Harry and Ron make up a month long prediction chart of horrible things that will supposedly happen to them and she loves it.

Poppy Pomfrey

Poppy Pomfrey is the school nurse at Hogwarts. When she is tending to the champions during the first task, she seems less than delighted about the Tournament. She doesn’t seem to think that dragons are a very good idea because they make her job much more difficult.

Pomona Sprout

Pomona Sprout is the Herbology professor. She is also the head of Hufflepuff House, the house that produced Cedric Diggory.

Filius Flitwick

Filius Flitwick is the Charms professor. He is also the head of Ravenclaw House. In his class, Harry learns the Summoning Charm, the spell he uses in the first task to retrieve his broom and fly out of reach of the dragons.

Professor Grubbly-Plank

Professor Grubbly-Plank substitutes for Hagrid by taking over his Care of Magical Creatures classes when he refuses to leave his cabin, after Rita Skeeter publishes an article revealing that he is a half-giant. Many students think that she is a better teacher than Hagrid and prefer her lessons to his.

Professor Sinistra

Professor Sinistra is the astronomy teacher at Hogwarts and all of her classes are held at midnight atop the astronomy tower.

Professor Vector

Professor Vector is Hermione’s arithmancy teacher.

Argus Filch

Filch is the Hogwarts Caretaker who hates the students. When Harry gets his foot caught after his bath in the prefects’ bathroom and drops his egg, Filch turns up and gets the egg. He is convinced that Peeves stole it, and is going to turn Peeves in until Snape and Moody arrive.

Mrs. Norris

Mrs. Norris is Argus Filch’s cat. She has lamp-like eyes and Harry often wonders whether she is able to see through his invisibility cloak because she always looks directly at him when he’s wearing it. She is just as awful as Filch and if she catches a student breaking any rules, she’ll call for Filch and he’ll come running.

Rubeus Hagrid

Hagrid is the Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts, and Harry considers him to be one of his very good friends. When Hagrid becomes romantically involved with Madame Maxime, he tells her that he’s a half-giant because he thinks that she is too, only to have her storm off. His secret is then printed in the Daily Prophet in a light that makes him sound like a cruel and terrible monster, so he hides out in his cabin, unwilling to emerge or talk to anyone. Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to his cabin and find Dumbledore there and the four of them manage to convince him that no one whose opinion is worth anything will care whether he’s a half-giant or not because they all know that he is a kind man.

Dobby

Dobby is the house elf that Harry set free at the end of his second year. When he heard that his fellow house elf, Winky, had also been freed, he set out to look for a place where they could both work and, got them both a job at Hogwarts, where Dumbledore agreed to pay him. Dobby loves his job at Hogwarts and he uses it as an opportunity to visit Harry when he can. He even gets Harry a pair of mismatched socks for Christmas. When Harry can’t figure out how to survive underwater for an hour, it is Dobby that brings him Gillyweed so that he can go rescue his “Wheezy” (Ron).

Winky

Winky is the house elf that was previously in the employment of Barty Crouch until she was found in the clearing where the Dark Mark was set in the sky at the Quidditch World Cup with Harry’s wand in her hand, the very wand that is discovered to have produced the mark after Harry had lost it. Mr. Crouch promptly frees her for leaving the tent. She gets a job at Hogwarts with Dobby where she drowns her sorrows in bottles and bottles of butterbeer. Later, she is revealed to have helped Mr. Crouch hide his son after he and his wife snuck him out of Azkaban.

Barty Crouch

Barty Crouch is the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation in the Ministry of Magic. He is a stickler for rules and clearly dislikes Ludo Bagman and his relaxed personality. He is one of the judges for the Triwizard Tournament and, like Ludo Bagman, he was one of the main coordinators for the event. Halfway through the Tournament, however, he claims to have fallen ill to even attend the Yule Ball or even the tasks themselves. When he shows up on the grounds, half-mad, Harry runs to get Dumbledore, but Crouch is gone by the time he returns. It is later revealed that Crouch was murdered by his own son who he once sentenced to life in Azkaban before he and his wife smuggled him out.

Barty Crouch Jr.

Barty Crouch Jr. is the son of Barty Crouch. He is Lord Voldemort’s most loyal follower. He is the one who uses polyjuice potion to transform into Alastor Moody, after Lord Voldemort rescues him from his father – who has kept him prisoner since he smuggled him from Azkaban after he was sentenced there by his own father for the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom. He is also the one who cast the Dark Mark at the Quidditch World Cup. Voldemort keeps his father prisoner after he frees Barty Crouch Jr, but when his father escapes, he kills him and turns his own father into a bone and buries him in the soil near Hagrid’s hut. It was he who entered Harry into the Triwizard Tournament, and Dumbledore realizes this after the end of the third task when he removes Harry from his sight – which is not something the real Moody would have done. Dumbledore gives him Veritaserum, and Barty Crouch Jr. tells the whole sordid tale of how he came to sit before them when he was supposedly dead and buried outside of Azkaban prison.

Igor Karkaroff

Igor Karkaroff is the Headmaster of Durmstrang. As Durmstrang is rumored to teach its students the Dark Arts, it’s not surprising that their Headmaster should be a former Death Eater. During the year, Karkaroff seeks council with Severus Snape about how the Dark Mark on his arm is growing darker, but Snape doesn’t want to talk to him about it. In the end, when Voldemort is returned to his body, Karkaroff flees, deciding to go into hiding since he turned traitor against most of the Death Eaters and turned them in to the Ministry in order to buy his own freedom.

Madame Maxime

Madame Maxime is the Headmistress of Beauxbatons. She is, like Hagrid, extremely large. When she and Hagrid become romantically involved, Harry and Ron overhear him confiding to her at the Yule Ball that he is actually a half-giant, and he thinks that she is too. She becomes very defensive and tells him that she isn’t and can’t believe that he would suggest such a thing.

Ollivander

Ollivander is the wandmaker favoured by British wizards. He visits Hogwarts for the wand weighing ceremony. If anyone knows wands, it’s Ollivander; he can tell what components make up a wand within seconds.

Ludo Bagman

Ludo Bagman is the head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. He was once a quite beloved Beater for the Wimbourne Wasps Quidditch Team. He is one of the judges for the Triwizard Tournament and his Department is also heavily involved in the planning of it. He has a problem with gambling and he loses so much money at the Quidditch World Cup that he never pays Fred or George the money he owes them,instead placing another bet with some goblins that Harry will win the Triwizard Tournament. He often offers to help Harry out with the tasks, but Harry always rebuffs him. When Harry ties for the win with Cedric, the goblins say that Bagman bet that Harry would win outright and that it was them that won the bet. After the third task, he makes a run for it to escape his debt.

Percy Weasley

Percy Weasley is one of the Weasley boys, and the third oldest. He has recently acquired a job at the Ministry in the Department of International Magical Cooperation under the direction of Mr. Bartemius Crouch. His brothers all make fun of his obsession with his work, and pick on him endlessly for it. When Mr. Crouch is no longer able to attend events for the Triwizard Tournament due to “illness,” Percy takes his place.

Arthur Weasley

Arthur is Ron’s father. He works in the Ministry of Magic in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office. He returns Dudley’s tongue to normal length when Fred and George drop a ton-tongue toffee when the three of them and Ron visit Harry’s aunt and uncle’s to pick him up to go with them to the Quidditch World Cup. He also works hard as a Ministry Official when the Death Eaters cause all of the trouble after the match and in the following days as the Ministry works tirelessly to handle all of the criticism over the mishap at the cup as well as all of the upcoming events planned for the Triwizard Tournament.

Fred & George Weasley

Fred & George are the infamous Weasley twins. They are arguably the most troublesome pair of tricksters ever to grace the halls of Hogwarts. When they visit Harry’s aunt and uncle’s house to retrieve him, they drop a ton-tongue toffee, knowing that Dudley, Harry’s pig of a cousin, will eat it which causes his tongue to swell to four feet in length before his mother let’s Mr. Weasley fix it. At school, they manage to brew an aging potion in an attempt to enter themselves into the Triwizard Tournament, but only end up with long white beards when the age line drawn by Dumbledore sends them flying back away from the Goblet.

Molly Weasley

Molly is Ron’s mother. She is the wizarding version of a stay-at-home mother. She is a plump woman and though she can sometimes be rather stern, she is kind and warm-hearted. She is Harry’s favourite cook in the world and during his visit to the Burrow at the end of the summer holidays, he is not disappointed by her cooking. When the family, Harry, and Hermione return from the Quidditch World Cup, she’s crying to see that all of them are okay after the Death Eater attack. She says that she kept thinking that the last thing she said to Fred and George was that they didn’t get enough O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) on their exams.

Bill Weasley

Bill is the oldest Weasley boy. He works in Egypt as a Cursebreaker for Gringott’s Wizarding Bank. Upon meeting him, Harry can’t help but to be surprised that he looks cool because he had been picturing someone more like Percy since Bill had been Head Boy at Hogwarts. Instead, Bill has long hair that he pulls back in a ponytail, and an earring shaped like a fang.

Ginny Weasley

Ginny is the youngest Weasley and the only girl. This is the first time that she ever really talks to Harry, because she used to run away blushing whenever he was around due to her crush on him. Since she is only a third year, she can’t attend the Yule Ball by herself, so she accepts Neville’s invitation and goes with him.

Charlie Weasley

Charlie is the second-oldest Weasley boy. He works in Romania where he studies dragons. He is covered in burn scars from his dangerous profession, but he clearly loves his job. He is short and stocky like Fred and George, and has so many freckles that he looks almost tanned.

Dudley Dursley

Dudley Dursley is the reason that everyone in the Dursley household is on a diet. He has apparently become as wide as he is tall. Once he learns that the Weasleys are coming to get Harry to take him for the Quidditch World Cup, he walks around with his hands clamped over his bottom – where Hagrid once gave him a pig tail. Unfortunately for him, he is greedy as ever, especially since he’s on his diet. When Fred and George drop some Ton-Tongue Toffees on the floor, he nabs one and eats it, causing his tongue to swell to four feet in length before Petunia Dursley would even let Mr. Weasley shrink it.

Vernon Dursley

Vernon Dursley is Harry’s uncle. Harry is forced to stay with him and his aunt every summer, but this summer proves less awful than previous summers. Vernon throws a fit when he receives a letter from Mrs. Weasley asking if Harry can attend the Quidditch World Cup with them because the letter is plastered with stamps. He only agrees to let Harry go to the cup when Harry mentions his escaped convict godfather, Sirius Black, who checks in on Harry to make sure that he’s happy.

Petunia Dursley

Petunia is Harry’s aunt. She is his mother’s sister. Petunia is the one enforcing the diet in the Dursley house since Dudley has become too fat to fit into any of the school knickerbockers.

Mrs. Diggory

Cedric Diggory’s mother is obviously devastated by the loss of her son, but she is a kind woman and she refuses to take the prize money for the Tournament when Harry offers it to her; it’s clear by how she treats him that she doesn’t hold him at all responsible for her son’s terrible fate.

Amos Diggory

Mr. Diggory is rather pompous. He is a bit of a braggart when it comes to his son, Cedric. He likes to boast about how Cedric beat Harry in a Quidditch match the previous year, even though Cedric repeats to him that it wasn’t a fair win because the Dementor’s invaded the Quidditch pitch and caused Harry to faint. He is also kind to Harry after the death of his son, but he doesn’t hold up as well as his wife; he sobs through their entire meeting.

Lord Voldemort

Lord Voldemort, more commonly referred to as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, formed a plan that involved getting Harry Potter to the graveyard where his father is buried so that he can use his father’s bone, Harry’s blood, and Wormtail’s flesh to return to his body. The plan succeeds and Voldemort is restored. He calls his Death Eaters and some of them come, but he is disappointed in the lot of them. He tells them about his fall from power and what it was about Harry that destroyed him that night. After this, he duels Harry and because their wands have twin cores, they create Priori Incantatem – and out of Voldemort’s wand come ghostly shapes of his last few spells, including Harry’s parents. Voldemort underestimates the power of Harry’s parents’ love once again and Harry manages to escape from him.

Mr. Crabbe

Mr. Crabbe is the father of Vincent Crabbe, one of Draco Malfoy’s cronies. He is one of the Death Eaters that arrive in the graveyard when Voldemort is returned to his body.

Mr. Goyle

Mr. Goyle is the father of Gregory Goyle, another of Draco’s cronies. He is also a Death Eater that returns to Voldemort in the graveyard.

Macnair

Macnair is another of the Death Eaters that returns to Voldemort in the graveyard. He works at the Ministry of Magic as the executioner for the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, and was supposed to be the one to execute Buckbeak the previous year.

Nott

Nott is the father of a Slytherin boy in Harry’s year who is also friends with Draco Malfoy. Nott also returns to the graveyard after Voldemort’s return.

Lucius Malfoy

Lucius Malfoy is the father of Draco Malfoy, Harry’s nemesis at school. Although it has long since been speculated by Harry, it is finally revealed that he is a Death Eater when he returns to Lord Voldemort in the graveyard.

Peter Pettigrew

Peter Pettigrew, also known as Wormtail from his days in Hogwarts–when he was friends with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin–is one of Voldemort’s most loyal followers. He returned to Voldemort after his escape from his exposure as the one who framed Sirius Black, and gave up the Potter’s location and has since been nursing Voldemort back to strength. He sacrifices his own right hand to return his master to his body.

Bellatrix and Rudolphus LeStrange

Bellatrix and her husband Rudolphus were arrested for the torturing of Frank and Alice Longbottom, along with Mr. Crouch’s son and another Death Eater.

Mr. & Mrs. Longbottom

Neville’s parents, Frank and Alice Longbottom, are revealed to have been tortured into insanity by some Death Eaters after the fall of Lord Voldemort. When Dumbledore tells Harry this, Harry promises not to repeat it because Neville never told anyone for a reason.

Bertha Jorkins

Bertha Jorkins is a Ministry of Magic official that has disappeared. At first, no one is really concerned because she has such a terrible memory that they think that she must have just gotten lost during her holiday in Albania. Once her disappearance is leaked to the public in one of Rita Skeeter’s articles, the Ministry takes her disappearance much more seriously. Dumbledore says that he remembers Bertha from school and shows Harry that she was not forgetful, but instead, curious and terribly nosy.

Frank Bryce

Frank Bryce is the gardener for the Riddle House. He injured his leg in the war. When the Riddles were all murdered in the house, he was immediately taken suspect, but it was proved that he was innocent. However, everyone in town still thinks that he murdered them. When a fire is alight in the window of the house, he goes up to the house, sure the kids from town set the house on fire. Instead, he overhears Voldemort and Wormtail talking about their plans to kill Harry Potter, and he thinks they must be spies with their very strange lingo. In the end, Voldemort kills old Frank for listening at the door.

Lily & James Potter

Lily and James Potter are Harry’s parents. When Harry and Voldemort’s wands create Priori Incantatem, they both appear in a ghostly form and tell him that they can hold Voldemort back for a short time while he makes a run for Cedric’s body and the portkey.

Cornelius Fudge

Cornelius Fudge is the Minister of Magic. After Harry escapes from the graveyard and tells Dumbledore about everything that happened, Dumbledore informs Fudge, but Fudge doesn’t believe a word of it. He tells Dumbledore that Harry has to be lying and that there’s no way Voldemort could be back.

Neville Longbottom

Neville is a fourth year Gryffindor who is extremely prone to bad luck. While he’s not great at many subjects, he is proficient when it comes to Herbology. Professor Moody takes him to have tea and gives him a book on Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean, after he frightens Neville when he shows a demonstration of the Cruciatus Curse. Harry later learns that the reason this scared Neville so much is that his parents were tortured into insanity by four Death Eaters who used the Cruciatus Curse on them.

Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy is a fourth year Slytherin with a particular hatred for Harry Potter. He makes Harry’s life so much more difficult than it is already. Whether it’s name calling, telling vicious lies to a nasty reporter, or getting him in trouble with Snape, Malfoy’s always doing something to create trouble for Harry. Once Harry is chosen as champion, Malfoy tells him that he thinks he won’t do well but Harry brushes it off. When Malfoy starts to attack Harry, Professor Moody steps in and turns Malfoy into a ferret and bounces him around as punishment. Ron takes the time to commit to memory the image of Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret.

Pansy Parkinson

Pansy Parkinson is a pug-faced Slytherin fourth year. She is Draco Malfoy’s date to the Yule Ball, and she gives nasty interviews to Rita Skeeter about Hermione and Hagrid.

Vincent Crabbe

Vincent Crabbe is one of Draco Malfoy’s cronies. When Moody turns Malfoy into a ferret for trying to curse Harry when his back is turned, Crabbe is the one that tries to help Draco, but Moody barks at him to leave Malfoy.

Gregory Goyle

Gregory Goyle is the other bulky boy that is constantly at Draco Malfoy’s side. When Harry and Malfoy get into a duel outside of Professor Snape’s classroom, Goyle gets hit with a curse that causes large boils to erupt all over his face.

Ernie MacMillan

Ernie is a rather pompous fourth year Hufflepuff boy and he hopes that Cedric will be the Hogwarts champion. He gets his way when Cedric’s name is chosen.

Lavender Brown

Lavender Brown is a fourth year Gryffindor girl. When Harry asks if she’ll go to the Yule Ball with Ron, she declines, because she’s already going with Seamus Finnigan.

Angelina Johnson

Angelina Johnson is a sixth year Gryffindor. As she is old enough to enter the Triwizard Tournament, it is she that Hermione hopes will be chosen as the Hogwarts Champion.

Parvati Patil

Parvati is a fourth year Gryffindor. She is Harry’s date to the Yule Ball, but she does not enjoy herself.

Padma Patil

Padma Patil is Parvati’s twin sister and she is a fourth year Ravenclaw. She is Ron’s date to the Yule Ball, but she, like her sister, doesn’t enjoy herself.

Seamus Finnigan

Seamus is a fourth year Gryffindor boy. He spends a lot of time with Ron when Harry and Ron stop talking. He takes Lavender Brown to the Yule Ball.

Dean Thomas

Dean Thomas is another fourth year Gryffindor boy and an excellent artist. When they’re getting ready for the Yule Ball, Dean asks Harry and Ron how they got dates with the best looking girls in the year, to which Ron simply replies, “Animal magnetism.”

Colin Creevey

Colin Creevey is a third year Gryffindor boy. In his first year, he had an obsession with Harry and not much has changed. He’s still Harry Potter’s biggest fan.

Dennis Creevey

Dennis Creevey is the little brother of Colin Creevey. He is in his first year at Hogwarts and he, like his brother, is a Gryffindor. He also takes a great liking to Harry. Dennis literally makes a splash at Hogwarts when he falls out of the boats that bring the first years to the castle.

Cho Chang

Cho Chang is a very pretty Ravenclaw girl that Harry has a crush on. He asks her to the Yule Ball, but she has to decline because she has already agreed to go with Cedric Diggory. She is truly sorry that she can’t go with Harry, but she does really like Cedric. She is even his hostage in the second task.

Roger Davies

Roger Davies is a Ravenclaw boy who is a year older than Harry. He is Fleur’s date to the Yule Ball and he babbles stupidly, completely enamored by her. The two later spend time outside together in the rose gardens.

Gabrielle Delacour

Gabrielle is Fleur’s little sister, and every bit as pretty. She is the hostage taken for Fleur for the second task, because she is the person who is most dear to Fleur.

Oliver Wood

Oliver Wood is Harry’s former Quidditch captain. He graduated the previous year and has since been recruited to the Puddlemere United Quidditch Team.

Madame Rosmerta

Madame Rosmerta is the owner of The Three Broomsticks, the most popular pub in Hogsmeade. She is quite well known for her oak-matured mead.

The Fat Lady

The Fat Lady is the woman in the portrait that guards Gryffindor tower. She often gets drunk with Violet, a witch from a portrait in the room behind the Great Hall.

Violet

Violet is a witch that resides in a portrait near the Great Hall. She is there when Harry is sent to the room after his name is chosen by the Goblet. She immediately rushes up to the seventh floor to inform The Fat Lady of this wonderful gossip.

Peeves

Peeves is the resident Poltergeist at Hogwarts, and is always stirring up trouble. He starts the year out with a bang by lobbing water balloons at the students as they enter the castle on their way to the Great Hall, because he’s mad that he isn’t allowed to join the feast.

The Bloody Baron

The Bloody Baron is the Slytherin House ghost. He is said to be the only one that can control Peeves.

Moaning Myrtle is the ghost that occupies the girls’ bathroom on the second floor. However, she enjoys visiting the prefects’ bathroom to watch them bathe. She visits Harry when he sneaks in there to try and solve the clue in his Golden Egg. She helps him figure out the clue because she watched Cedric in the bath when he was figuring out his own clue.

Basil

Hassan Mostafa is the referee for the Quidditch World Cup. Ludo Bagman states that he is from Egypt and he is the acclaimed Chairwizard of the International Association of Quidditch.

Fang

Fang is Hagrid’s giant black dog. However big he is, though, he’s still a coward. He drools all over the laps of Hagrid’s guests.

Hedwig

Hedwig is Harry’s snowy owl. She gets moody with him when he has to use some of the school owls to communicate with Sirius so it doesn’t look suspicious. She does come around eventually, though.

Pigwidgeon

Pigwidgeon is Ron’s owl that Sirius gave him since, since the latter exposed Ron’s rat as an animagus, who went into hiding after faking his death when he framed Sirius as the Voldemort supporter who ratted out the Potters to Voldemort. Ginny named the tiny owl and the name stuck before Ron could change it, so Ron calls him Pig.

Crookshanks

Crookshanks is Hermione’s ginger cat. He has a squashed in face and he is part kneazle. He enjoys chasing the gnomes in the Weasleys’ garden and laying in laps.

Grindylows

Grindylows are water demons that dwell in lakes. They are the reason that Fleur Delacour is disqualified from the second task because she uses the Bubblehead Charm and they attack her.

Merpeople

A tribe of merpeople inhabit the Black Lake on the Hogwarts grounds. During the second task, four hostages are taken as the things which are what the champions will “most sorely miss.” They guard the hostages in their underwater village, and make sure that each champion only takes their own hostage. They allow Harry to take both Ron and Gabrielle, but only because he threatens to use magic against them. After the task, the merchieftainess tells Dumbledore that Harry only arrived last because of his determination to save all of the hostages, which earns Harry second place in the task for showing “moral fiber.”
