Davies, Roger
b. c. 1978
Ravenclaw 1990s, Q. captain/Chaser (OP30).
Roger Davies is a popular, athletic Ravenclaw student a year or two older than Harry. Roger went with Fleur Delacour to the Yule Ball; he appeared to be so besotted with her that he could barely think. He missed his mouth with his fork when he tried to eat and babbled stupidly in response to what she said. Later, he and Fleur spent some romantic time in the rose garden outside (GF22, 23). Roger asked out Cho Chang in early February 1996, but she turned him down; Cho used the incident to try to make Harry jealous as they sat in Madam Puddifoot's with Roger and his current girlfriend sitting at an adjacent table, kissing and cuddling (OP25, 30, 31).

Davis, Tracey
Slytherin 1991 - 1998
Tracey Davis is mentioned in HPM.

Dawlish
Auror, very capable and self-assured. He left Hogwarts with Outstandings in all his NEWTs. He accompanied Fudge to Hogwarts to confront Harry about his secret DA meetings. Dawlish was knocked out along with Kinglsey, Umbridge, and Fudge when Dumbledore, who had taken the blame on himself, escaped. Dawlish is described as a "tough-looking wizard with very short wiry hair"; his hair is gray. (OP27) A few weeks later, Dawlish was one of the wizards attempting to arrest Hagrid (OP31). Dawlish arrived at the Atrium of the Ministry of Magic with Fudge after the Battle of June, 1996, was over. Fudge sent him to the Department of Mysteries to attend to the captured Death Eaters (OP
The name Dawlish almost certainly came from the name of a seacoast town in Devon. It is located near Exeter, where JKR attended university.

Dearborn, Caradoc
Member of the original Order of the Phoenix; missing and presumed dead (OP9).
Caradoc was a British Celtic Prince (usually Latinised to to Caractacus) who led a rebellion against Roman rule. (Thanks to Ross Gillson)

Death Eaters
The followers of Lord Voldemort are called Death Eaters. They swear their lives and their service to the Dark Lord. He then places his mark on their left forearm. This mark, in the shape of a skull with a serpent crawling from it, burns hot when Voldemort wishes to summon the Death Eaters. They then Apparate to him (GF). See detailed entry for complete list of known Death Eaters, past and present. Death Eaters are noted in the Lexicon with skull icon.

Delacour, Fleur
b. c. 1977
Beauxbatons
(See also specific entry for details.) Fleur is a very beautiful girl who attended Beauxbatons Academy. She is part Veela and was the Beauxbatons champion in the Triwizard Tournament (GF16). Fleur is a bit haughty and dismissive, criticizing Hogwarts for everything from its food to its decorations. The boys find her extremely attractive, but the girls--particularly Hermione--are a bit less than taken with her. Fleur is last known to be living and working at Gringotts in London, and to be dating Bill Weasley (OP4).
"Fleur Delacour" means "flower of the court," according to JKR. (AOL)

Delacour, Gabrielle
Fleur's younger sister. Harry thought at the time of the 2nd task that Gabrielle looked no more than eight. She served as hostage for her sister in the Second Task (GF26).
Gabrielle - feminine form of Gabriel (Hebrew, 'God is my strength'); archangel particularly noted as a messenger who heralds and helps interpret dreams and visions. Of the angels associated with the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water), Gabriel is associated with water. This seems apt, given the nature of the Second Task.
-- MLW

Delaney-Podmore, Sir Patrick
See entry for his ghost, currently the leader of the Headless Hunt (CS). Since only wizards can become ghosts (OP38), we know that Delaney-Podmore was a wizard in life.
It has been pointed out by several people, including MLW, that there is a certain similarity of surnames between that of this ghost and Sturgis Podmore. We have no hard evidence regarding any possible connection between the two other than the coincidence of name, so far.

Diggle, Dedalus
A member of the Order of the Phoenix in both the first and second wars against Voldemort (OP), this wizard was in the Leaky Cauldron when Hagrid brought Harry in on July 31, 1991. Diggle once bowed to Harry in a shop (SS5), much to Aunt Petunia's horror. He lives in Kent and, according to McGonangall, has never had any sense (SS1).
Daedalus (Greek mythology) - the legendary inventor who designed the labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur. When Minos then imprisoned him on Crete, Daedalus created wings for himself and his son Icarus out of wax and feathers to fly to safety; Icarus flew too near the sun and fell to his death when the wax melted, but Daedalus escaped.

b. c. 1979 (?)
Ravenclaw, 1990-1997 (?)
Friend of Cho Chang, daughter of Madam Edgecombe of the Department of Magical Transportation, Floo Network Office. Marietta has curly, reddish-blonde hair. She was dragged along to the DA meetings by her friend Cho and signed her name to the parchment that lists members of the group. However, she eventually sold out to Umbridge. The parchment she signed, however, was jinxed, and Marietta's face broke out in nasty purple postules spelling the word "SNEAK." Before she could testify to Fudge, however, her memory was modified by a timely Obliviate spell from Shacklebolt (OP27).

Edgecombe, Madam
Works for the Ministry of Magic in the Floo Network Office, which is part of the Department of Magical Transportation. Madam Edgecombe helped Fudge police the fires of Hogwarts while Umbridge had taken over the school. Marietta Edgecombe is her daughter (OP27).

Egg, Professor Mordicus

Witch who invented the Lunascope (fw75).

Fat Friar, The
Hufflepuff ghost.

Fat Lady, The
Inhabitant of a portrait which covers and guards the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. She gets a bit irritable occasionally. She is friends with Violet whose portrait hangs in an antechamber adjacent to the Great Hall. She has hung over the entrance to Gryffindor tower for many years, dating at least as far back as Molly and Arthur Weasley's time at Hogwarts.

Fawcett family
Family living near Ottery St. Catchpole (GF6). See also Miss Fawcett.

Fawcett, Miss S.
b. 1980 (deduction)
Hufflepuff, 1991 - 1998 (CS11, GF16, 23) (see below)
Possibly part of the Fawcett family of Ottery St. Catchpole (see). Attended the Duelling Club in 1992 (CS11) and the Yule Ball in 1994 (GF23). For a short time she had a long white beard, thanks to trying to cross Dumbledore's Age Line to put her name in the Goblet of Fire despite being underage (GF16).
During the meeting of the Duelling Club, Miss Fawcett was mentioned as though she were grouped with other Hufflepuff in Harry's year. She could not have attended the Yule Ball without an older date unless she were at least in Harry's year. Dumbledore's Age Line shows that she could not have started Hogwarts before 1990. It seems a reasonable deduction that she is in Harry's year. Still, this a deduction, not something stated explicitly in canon.
- MLW

Fenwick, Benjy
Member of the Order of the Phoenix in the 1970s, killed by Death Eaters. They only found bits of him (OP9).

Figg, Arabella Doreen
See also detailed entry. Squib living in Wisteria Walk in Little Whinging who monitors Harry with the help of her cats, including Mr. Tibbles. Member of the Order of the Phoenix, alerted on Dumbledore's orders as one of the "old crowd" after Voldemort's return in June 1995 (GF36, OP1, OP2). Used to babysit Harry every year on Dudley's birthday, but broke her leg in June 1991 tripping over one of her cats. Dudley later knocked her down with his bike in Privet Drive when Harry dropped out of sight during the summer of 1991 (SS2,3). Testified on Harry's behalf at his disciplinary hearing, claiming that as a Squib she could see Dementors although Muggles cannot (OP8). Old lady, appears somewhat dotty, wears tartan slippers and carries a string shopping bag. Although she appears to talk to herself, other members of the OP are often present under invisibility cloaks, and her cats understand human speech (OP1, OP2).

Filch, Argus
Caretaker at Hogwarts c. 1990s Filch is a squib who treats students as if they are vermin to be eradicated from the castle. See detailed entry.
"Argus" - beast in Greek mythology, a watchman with a hundred sets of eyes (200 in total)
"filch" - Eng. "steal"

Finch-Fletchley, Justin
b. 1980
Hufflepuff 1991 - 1998 (SS7)
A member of the DA, this curly-haired Muggle-born wizard was down for Eton until he got the letter from Hogwarts. Justin was threatened by a snake at the Dueling Club until Harry called it off, thus publicly revealing his gift of Parseltongue (CS). Justin was Petrified by the basilisk December 18, 1992.
Justin's name is sometimes given as "Fitch-Fletchley", but that is incorrect.

Fingal the Fearless
Legendary Irish wizard who is alleged to have been an Aingingein champion (QA)

Finnigan, Mrs.
Seamus' mother. He introduced her to Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the Quidditch World Cup (GF7). She is a witch, but his father is a Muggle who didn't find out until after they were married that she had magic powers. Seamus' mother read the Daily Prophet and believed that Dumbledore and Harry had gone crazy and were lying about Voldemort's return. As a result, she seriously considered not allowing Seamus to return to Hogwarts in September 1995 (OP11).

Finnigan, Seamus
b. 1980 (SS7)
Gryffindor, 1991 - 98 (SS7)
Worst fear: banshees (PA)
Irish, sandy hair; his father is a Muggle, and his mother didn't tell his dad that she was a witch until after they were married, which was a "(b)it of a nasty shock for him." The Sorting Hat took almost a whole minute to decide his House (SS7). He's good friends with Dean Thomas. The Finnigans camped out in the Irish section of the campground at the 1994Quidditch World Cup in a tent covered with live shamrocks (GF7). Seamus is a Kenmare Kestrals fan (OP11).

Seamus and Harry had quite a falling out on their first night back in fifth year (OP11), but eventually Seamus came around and joined the DA (OP27).
In the film SS/f, Seamus has an ongoing problem with his spells blowing up in his face. In one of the deleted scenes, he offered to undo the Leg-Locker Curse which had been cast on Neville, but was turned down. This offended Seamus, who announced that his eyebrows have completely grown back, then walked away to reveal that a patch of hair was missing on the back of his head. This running gag was entirely invented by Steve Kloves, the scriptwriter, from a single reference in SS when Seamus ignited a feather in Charms class. Indeed, in the books it's Neville who melts cauldrons and has all the accidents with magic, not Seamus (SS/f).

Flamel, Nicholas
alchemist, born c. 1326, still alive as of 1991
Famous for creating the only known Philosopher's Ston. in existence. Dumbledore did some alchemical work with him, although not the creation of that stone, since that must have happened six hundred years ago for Flamel to still be alive in 1992 (SS17).

NOTE: The real Nicholas Flamel was born in 1330. Rowling changed the birthyear for "her" Nicholas Flamel, apparently, since the books claimed that he was "665 last year," which would have been in 1990 or 1991. The book, which was very old, apparently adjusted itself to the year in which it is read, or the reference would be utterly meaningless.
"According to history, Flamel died in 1410, a few years after his wife, Perenelle..." (pp.71-73)
web link about the real Nicolas Flamel
essay by Brian Dorband about Flamel and the Stone
notes about using the real Flamel's birthdate as a basis for dating the Harry Potter series

Flamel, Perenelle
Nicolas's wife, born c.1333 (SS17)
"Pernelle" is a play on ther word "perenial'' meaning perpetual and everlasting.

Fletcher, Mundungus "Dung"
A bit crotchety, it seems, one of the "old crowd" (CS3, GF10, 36). After the fracas at the World Cup, Fletcher turned in a request to the Ministry for reimbursement for a 12-room tent with en suite jacuzzi, but he had actually been sleeping under a poncho propped up on sticks (GF10). He's a crook, which makes him mighty handy to have around sometimes, since he hears things others don't (OP). Mundungus, however, is a member of the Order of the Phoenix (NR2, OP2-8) His nickname is "Dung". Mundungus smokes a smelly pipe, although Molly doesn't like him smoking it in the kitchen. She doesn't like him at all, come to that.
"mundungus" reported to be the name of a particularly smelly variety of tobacco
"fletcher" - [English] one who makes arrows (the feathers are referred to as fletching)

Flint, Marcus
Slytherin, 1986 - 1994 (repeated a year), Q. Chaser and captain

From Sch1 interview:
Q: In the first book you said Slytherin house Quidditch captain was sixth year Marcus Flint. If there are only seven years of Hogwarts, why is he in the third book?
A: He had to do a year again! :-)
"flint" is a mineral known for its hardness. Arrowheads were made out of flint.

See also detailed entry. Charms teacher, Hogwarts staff.

Florence
Probably a student at Hogwarts, a contemporary of Bertha Jorkins, who spied on her and saw her being kissed by some unidentified boy. Bertha complained to Dumbledore, the Headmaster, when she was hexed as a result:

"He put a hex on me, Professor Dumbledore, and I was only teasing him, sir, I only said I'd seen him kissing Florence behind the greenhouses last Thursday..." (GF30)

Fortescue
Red-nosed, corpulent Wizard. Fortescue was at one time a Headmaster of Hogwarts. Now his portrait hangs in the Headmaster's office (OP).

Fortescue, Florean
Owns an ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley. Florean knows quite a bit about medieval wizardry; When Harry was living at the Leaky Cauldron for a couple of weeks, he spent part of his days working on his homework at Florean's shop. Florean gave him free sundaes every half hour and helped with his essay on medieval wizardry (PA4).

Frobisher, Victoria (Vicky)
c. 1981-3? (at least 2nd year in autumn 1995)
Involved in many Societies, particularly Charms Club. Tried out for Gryffindor Keeper in autumn 1995 and flew better than Ron Weasley; however, she was rejected because she said that Charms Club would rank higher in her priorities than Quidditch in the event of a conflict (OP13).

Fudge, Cornelius
Minister of Magic (SS, CS, PA, GF, OP). See also detailed entry.
"fudge" Eng. to cheat or behave dishonestly; to fail to fulfill a promise or obligation

The Sorting Hat considered putting her in Ravenclaw, but settled on Gryffindor (her personal preference) (OP). Hermione has bushy brown hair, and used to have large front teeth until an incident during the 1994-5 school year involving a couple of stray curses (Her parents, both of whom are dentists, had previously resisted having her fix her teeth with magic, GF.) Hermione makes little effort with her appearance as a general rule (OP24), but she is in fact rather pretty. (OP23)

Gregory appears on Famous Wizard card number 9 (CS/g). There is a secret passage at Hogwarts located behind a statue of Gregory the Smarmy; George and Fred found during in their first week (SS).
"smarmy" Eng. "revealing or marked by a smug, ingratiating, or false earnestness" (Merriam Webster dictionary online)

Grimstone, Elias
Broommaker from Portsmouth who crafted the Oakshaft 79 in 1879.

Grindelwald
The dark wizard that Dumbledore defeated in 1945 (SS6 & 13).
Because of the year of Grindelwald's defeat, which is stated on the Chocolate Frog card about Dumbledore, some have speculated that Grindelwald and Hitler were the same person or that Grindelwald was somehow related to the events of World War II.

Grubbly-Plank, Professor Wilhemina
An elderly witch with closely cropped gray hair and a very prominent chin; she was the substitute teacher who covered for Hagrid when he was indisposed after Christmas break (January, 1995); Grubbly-Plank knew a lot about unicorns and seemed to Lavender Brown and others of Harry's year like a particularly good teacher compared to Hagrid, who devoted most their class time looking after Skrewts (GF24) Grubbly-Plank covered classes for Hagrid at the beginning of the 1995-6 school year and also took the first years across the lake (OP11). Grubbly-Plank smokes a pipe. When Hagrid wasn't available, she nursed Hedwig back to health after she was attacked delivering mail to Harry (OP17).

Grunnion, Alberic
1803 - 1882
Famous wizard, face on a Chocolate Frog trading card (SS6) Alberic Grunnion was the inventor of the Dungbomb (fw61).
Could possibly be in recognition of 'Alberich,' a powerful wizard from "Song of the Nibelungen." The poem is mythical, but was the basis for Wagner's Ring Cycle. In Wagner's version, Alberich makes a ring from gold that he has found and places a curse on it against its thief! Interestingly, one of the prizes given to a 'hero' of the Ring Cycle is an Invisibility Cloak. (contributed by Adrian Allum)

Gryffindor, Godric
