Profiles
Harry
Potter
Harry Potter
was born into a wizarding family. All was happy until Dark spread
over the land and Lord Voldermort ruled. He came to the Potter's
house one night and killed his parents, but when he tried to kill
Harry, he lost all of his powers and ended up nothing but a head
inside a turban of a secretly evil proffessor at Hogwarts. That
made Harry one of the most famous people anywhere for all people
who lived in the other realm. He was orphaned and had to live
with his aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. They were awful to him
and kept him in a tiny closet under the stairs. He lived this
way for 10 years until he got A LOT of letters from Hogwarts saying
that he was invited to attend school there. After much struggling,
Hagrid, the gamekeeper, took him there, where he spent his term
as a first year.
After battling Voldermort again, and prevailing, school ended
and he went back to the Dursley's. On the second year, a mysterious
monster was petrifying student, and it was commanded by, what
turns out to be, Lord Voldermort. Harry Batlles Voldermort again
and wins. In the 3rd book, Harry saves a wrongfully accused Sirious
Black from the terrible Dementors. He is a hero yet agian, and
that is where the story ends thus far ( Unless you've already
read Book 4, but most people haven't, so I won't put anything
yet on it.) Harry is a brave student, and he is destined for greatness.
Ron
Weasley
Ron Weasley
is a shy boy. He is insecure about his lack of money and has never
done much of anything spectacular concerning magic. He has, however,
accompanied Harry on all of his journeys, sort of like his sidekick.
He is very nice, but kind of has a short temper..... especially
with Draco Malfoy, who makes fun of him.
Ron has firey red hair, as do all of the Weasleys, and, along
with Harry, has a sort of a nack at breaking school rules. But,
most of all, Ron is Harry's best friend.
Hermione
Granger
Hermione
is part of the famous trio of the book- Harry, Ron, and her. Hermione
is the main brains of the gorup. Sometimes she takes this to an
extreme with her work. Harry and Ron think she overdoes it, but
her grades reflect her hard work, and she is most likely the smartest
student in her year.
Hermione has always helped a lot in the 3 friends causes throughout
the book. She got the pass from Gilderoy Lockhart (whom she has
a crush on), figured out what the Chamber monster was, and helped
tremendously in their reseearch on Nicholas Flamel and the eventual
resting place of the Philosophere's, or Sorcerer's, Stone.
If it wasn't for Hermione, Harry's adventures would have never
been possible.
Fred
and George Weasley
Fred
and George are the next youngest aside from Ron in the Weasley
family. They are constant troublemakers and pranksters at Hogwarts.
They expierement with weird things and it's quite ordinary to
hear an explosion coming from their rooms. They are on Harry's
Quidditch team, and they keep the bludger's from hitting their
teammates.
Fred and George have, and hopefully will be in the coming parts
of the series, been a comical relief throughout the story.
Neville
Longbottom
Neville
is a fat, slightly dumb little boy. He is, however, very sensitive
and can have his feelings hurt very easily. Hermione once had
to freeze him motionless so that she, Harry, and Ron, could go
find the Philosopher's, or Sorcerer's, Stone.
He was more part of the book in the First one than the second.
He has, though,always been a loyal friend to the trio of the book.
Seamus
Finnigan
Seamus
is one of the male 2nd years in the Gryffindor house. He is always
nice to Harry, who he was in front of during the Sorting Hat ceremony.
We know he is pale and has sandy hair from Harry's description
of him.
Like Neville, Seamus had a somewhat larger role in the first Book.
He, too, has been a nice part of Harry's world
Percy
Weasley
Percy
Weasley is a prefect and kind of stuck on himself. You are teased
(at least I was) by the author in the second book. Throughout
it, there is the small suggestion that Percy may be the one directing
the Chamber monster.But,as it turns out, he was just acting strangely
because he had a girlfriend.
Ginny
Weasley
Ginny
Weasley has a big crush on Harry. Any time she sees him she gets
nervous and does something emberrassing. It is Ginny who ends
up being part of the chamber disaster: she is taken over by Lord
Voldermort and does awful things she doesn't evn know she did.
She is a first year. Lord Voldermort takes the life out of her
slowly, and as she is dying she is rescued by Harry. Ginny does
not get in trouble for her actions, since she didn't know she
was committing them.
The
Gryffindor Qudditch team
The Qudditch
team is always nice and supportive of Harry. They know how good
he is at Quidditch. Harry led them to victory both in the first
and second book. It consists of the captain, Oliver Wood, Fred
and George Weasley, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, and Harry. Lee
Jordan, a friend of the Weasley twins, commentates each game.
They have had some unfortunate circumstances with injuries and
such, but keep going strong.
Led by Wood, an older Hogwarts student, they have proven themselves
to be one of, if not THE, best Quidditch team at Hogwarts.
Rubeus
Hagrid
Hagrid
is the giant gamekeeper at Hogwarts. He has become very good friends
with Harry, Ron, and Hermione- especially with Harry. Hagrid is
the one who came to the muggle world to rescue Harry from the
Dursleys, who wouldn't let him read the huge abundance of letters
he was recieving inviting him to go to Hogwarts.Ever since, Hagrid
has been helpful to the friends, and sometimes the opposite, although
Hagrid would never deliberately do anything to get them in trouble.
He has a soft spot for having monsters as pets, including dragons
and huge spiders(The dragon shown below).50 years ago, when the
chamber monster was killing people, Hogwarts banished Hagrid from
school because they thought it was his pet huge spider that was
doing it (it wasn't.) When it happended again, he was sent to
the Prison of Azkaban, but released eventually. He now lives in
a little hut on the grounds peaceful and content(usually.)
Dobby
Dobby is a small, ugly
little creature with huge eyes that look like headlights- he is
called a house elf. He came to Harry and told him not to go back
to Hogwarts his second year, because he knew something bad would
happen and he admired him so much he didn't want anything to happen
to him. He knew this because he was the slave of the Malfoy's,
and knew there was a scheme because he heard them talk about it.He
stops Harry's mail, block his entrance to the Hogwarts Express,
and even sets a bludger on him to keep him from getting to Hogwarts.
When Harry saves the day,he tricks Mr. Malfoy into setting Dobby
free (if you give your house elf slave an article of clothing,
that means you set them free.), and Dobby (hopefully) will live
happily ever after.
Draco
Malfoy
Draco
Malfoy is Harry's arch enemy. They despise each other. Draco is
uppity and snotty and resents Harry's popularity. He is rich and
got on the Quidditch Slytherin team just because his Dad bought
them all expensive broomsticks. Harry has gotten into trouble
more than once with Draco-related incidents.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione thought he was the Heir of Slytherin
that was commanding the Chamber monster to kill. They took a Polyjuice
potion and it transformed them into Crabbe and Goyle, Draco's
thugs who follow him around simply as a threat to anyone who contests
Draco.They are not too bright.
As it turned out, Draco had nothing to do with the whole mess.
They find this out by talking to Draco as Crabbe and Goyle (they
turned into them with the potion), knowing that he would tell
them the truth. His Dad had MUCH to do with it, but Draco knew
nothing of it, and neither did Crabbe or Goyle.
Professor
Snape
Professor
Snape is awful to Harry and his friends. He doesn't like Harry
because Harry's Dad was his arch enemy at Hogwarts, much like
Harry and Draco are today. However, since Harry's Dad saved Snape's
life, Snape felt in the man's debt and decided he should try to
save Harry's life from Lord Voldemort- who was trying to steal
the Philosopher's, or Sorcerer's, Stone.
The ironic thing is, Harry and his friends thought Snape was the
one trying to steal it. His spells they saw him casting were actually
counterspells to save Harry's life.
Regardless of this, Snape still despises Harry, Ron, and Hermione,
as they do him.He loves to see them get in trouble, and would
go to great lenghts to get them into it.
Lord
Voldemort
Lord
Voldemort grew up as Tom Riddle. He went to Hogwarts and had great
potential. Little did any one know he was growing up to be the
greatest Dark wizard of all time. Dark spread over the magical
realm and Lord Voldermort took over, with awful consequenses.
He was so feared even now no one can even speak his name.
One night, Lord Voldemort killed Harry's parents, and tried to
kill Harry. But when he did, he was killed and Harry was okay.
Everyone was overjoyed. He has since, and will for long times
to come, tried to regain power. Since he is not fully human, can
never die.
Lucius
Malfoy
Lucius
Malfoy was part of Lord Voldemort's inner circle when he was in
power. He is Draco's Father. Once Voldermort was gone, he said
he was kind of "hypnotized" and the real him was not
part of that. Most think otherwise, and they're right.
He set up an elaborate scheme in Harry's second year to have all
muggle borns (and Harry and Ginny) killed. It didn't work, and
Lucius lost his job, and his house elf, Dobby.
Professor
Quirrell
Professor
Quirrell was kind of a joke when he was a teacher at Hogwarts.
Everyone bought his pitiful, studdering act. There were rumors
he'd been through a lot with monsters and vampires,and that's
why he was so scared and studdered. They thought the turban he
wore held garlic in it so he could be safe from vampires at all
times. It was all just an act so they would never suspect him.
He was a servant of Voldemort, and inside his turban, on the back
of his head, was the remains of Lord Voldemort. His face was in
the back of Quirrell's head! When Harry met up with him and battled
him, Quirrell was burned because the touch of something as good
as Harry was that hurtful to him. When Dumbledor got there just
as Harry was getting badly hurt, he saved Harry and Quirrell was
dead.
Peter
Pettigrew a.k.a. Wormtail
Peter Pettigrew had a secret. Thought by all to be a hero that
fell under Sirius Black, he was really the villain. He hid himself
by becoming a rat, that, coincidentally, became the pet of Ron
Weasley, Harry's best friend. Peter was forced to reveal himself,
and could have been killed, but was spared. He then escaped and
is rumored to meet back up with the Dark Lord.
