Griphook
Griphook doesn't fit into the easy categories that the other characters can be shuffled into – he's neither good nor bad, neither pro-Harry nor pro-Voldemort. Rather, he's totally outside of...

Kingsley Shacklebolt
Affiliation: Order of the PhoenixMinistry: Undercover Security Guard for the Muggle Prime Minister, Minister of MagicKingsley's name says it all – he's one dignified guy. He's still the stron...
Rita Skeeter

Percy Weasley
Fred sums up Percy pretty well when he calls him a "Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron" (30.171). Yep, Percy has definitely been that guy for the past couple of Harry Potter book...
Rose Weasley
Rose is Ron and Hermione's daughter, who, according to Ron, has inherited her mother's intelligence. In the Epilogue, Rose is the same age as Albus Potter, and they're starting their first year of...
Hugo Weasley
Hugo is Ron and Hermione's son. In the Epilogue, he's a bit too young to attend Hogwarts just yet. He sees off his sister Rose as she boards the Hogwarts Express for the first time.
