James Potter bio

Name: James Potter

Age: 21 when he died

House: Gryffindor

Special Abilities: : Animagus, a stag to be exact.

Heritage: Unknown

Family: Wife- Lily Evans Potter
Son - Harry James Potter

First Mention: Sorcerer's Stone.

Personality: From what we see in Book 5, it seems that he was a lot like Sirius, charming, a prankster, and had a strong hatred of Snape. He was also very brave, as we see when he stands up to Voldemort. He was also probably really audacious and disregarding towards the rules,
according to Sirius in Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix.

James Potter is first mentioned at the beginning of The Sorcerer's Stone. Besides that, we don't learn much more about. That is until Harry goes to Hogwarts, and makes the Quidditch team. We then learn that James Potter was also very good at Quidditch, and is perhaps where Harry got his knack for the sport. At the end of Book 1, Harry gets a picture album with his parent's photos, and that's the last we hear about Harry's parents until about book 3.

In Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry learns a lot more about his parent's deaths. He gets to hear their last words in his head. We know that James and Sirius were best friends, as well as Remus. We learn a lot of what James must've been like by the fact that Remus tells Harry on some occasions how his dad would've felt.

The last bit of information we get on James is from the Fifth book. In Snape's pensieve, we see how James was at about Harry's age, and Harry is upset by it. James is walking with the rest of the Marauders, a snitch in his hand engraved with the letters 'LE'. He then proceeds to play several pranks on a young Severus Snape, how can't retaliate, and is only stopped when a livid Lily asks him to.

Besides that we don't know much about James.

Draco Malfoy bio

Name: Draco Malfoy

Age: 36 by the end of the 7th book

House: Slytherin

Special Abilities: : None

Heritage: High society Pureblood

Family: Mother: Narcissa Malfoy
Father: Lucius Malfoy
Aunts: Bellatrix LeStrange, and Andromeda Tonks
Related to Sirius Black

First Mention: Sorcerer's Stone

Personality: Very aristocratic and snobbish. Is proud to be a pureblood and a Malfoy. Is quite confident of himself (which seems to be a family trait). He holds his head high, and is fast to put others down. Especially if they are not of pureblooded descent, like himself.

Draco is in the same year as Harry, however he is in Slytherin House. He is Harry's rival from the very first book, and the son of one of Voldemort's most avid supporters.

At first Draco tries to befriend Harry, when they first meet. However, when Draco acts supercilious in front of Harry, Harry rejects the offered friendship. After this, Draco never again attempts to befriend Harry.

Draco taunts Harry, and his to best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. He insults them with such names as Scar head, Mud-blood, and Weasley, respectively. He especially enjoys calling Hermione a mud blood, since he so prides himself in being a pureblood.

Although he is confident, he definitely doesn't hold any Gryffindor courage. For example, in the first book, when he and Harry are serving detention in the dark forest, he runs as fast as his legs will carry him from the person drinking the unicorn blood.

Throughout the books, Malfoy seems to become even more like the anti thesis of Harry. He also becomes the Slytherin seeker. Unlike Harry though, he became a seeker because Lucius bought his way on the team. He became a seeker in his second year, Draco did.

Draco's taunts become more malevolent as the series continues, even egging on Harry against Sirius in book 3. Draco also gets very angry when Harry gets Lucius thrown into Azkaban.

Draco is considered by some to be a Junior Death Eater, but at this point, he could be on either side.

Lucius Malfoy bio

Name: Lucius Malfoy

Age: 41

House: Slytherin

Special Abilities: Any powers that Voldemort might have given him. Inner Circle. Death Eater.

Heritage: High society Pureblood

Family: Wife: Narcissa Malfoy
Children: Draco Malfoy
Sister in laws: Bellatrix LeStrange, and Andromeda Tonks.

First Mention: Sorcerer's Stone

Personality: Lucius is the epitome of a condescending pureblood. He's also a prime example of a Slytherin. He's cold, calculating, and self preserving to a fault.

At first, we see Lucius as merely Draco's father: Everything that we think Draco will be become. He's just the cookie cut Slytherin pureblood as far as we know it in the first books.

Harry has a dislike of Lucius, which is he finds out is indeed requited. Lucius' role takes on deeper meaning though, after he puts Tom Riddle's diary in Ginny's cauldron in the second book. As Harry begins to unravel the mystery behind Dobby and the Diary, Lucius is out trying to get Dumbledore taken out of his position as headmaster.

Harry then begins to hate Lucius the moment he got Hagrid shipped off to Azkaban prison. Well, that hate had been building up since Lucius insulted Arthur Weasley for being poor and a muggle lover. Harry finds out that all the Wealseys indeed hate the Malfoys, and vice versa.

After Harry defeats Tom Riddle and saves Ginny Weasley, he returns to Dumbledore's office. There he finds Lucius on his way out, and confronts him about putting the diary in Ginny's cauldron. Lucius tells him it's best not to snoop around, and never actually denies doing it.

Harry then finds out that Dobby, the eccentric little house elf that had been trying to 'help' him all along, belonged to none other than Malfoy himself. Harry then decides to out wit Lucius, and has him unknowingly give Dobby a sock. Dobby is then freed, and Harry is quite pleased with himself. Lucius on the other hand, is quite livid, and is stopped by Dobby from doing Harry any bodily harm.

By the end of book two, we know that Lucius is not the nicest person, and holds a vendetta against muggles, muggle borns, muggle blooded, and people with no vendetta against muggles.

However, our suspicions of him being a Death Eater really come into play in book 4, when Death Eaters attack the Quidditch Cup. Lucius was in all the right places, at the right time, to be a likely suspect for being a Death Eater. Our suspicions are verified at the end of the fourth book, when Voldemort returns to his body, and gathers all his inner circle Death Eaters to watch him kill Harry. We know for fact that Lucius was one of the people under the black robes.

Harry then reports that Lucius, among others, is indeed a death eater. However, no one seems to believe him, since Lucius was cleared of all accounts thirteen years before.

In the fifth book, Harry finds himself actually facing off with Lucius Malfoy in the Department of Mysteries. He gets away, but we now know, that Lucius won't think twice before killing Harry.

In the end of the fifth book, Harry finally get Lucius put in Azkaban. Chances are though, being one of Voldemort's most trusted servants, the he'll escape soon. So now we're left wondering what will come of Lucius?

Narcissa Black - Malfoy bio

Name: Narcissa Black Malfoy

Age: 30s

House: Slytherin

Special Abilities: None

Heritage: High society Pureblood

Family: Sisters: Bellatrix LeStrange and
Andromeda Tonks.
Children: Draco Malfoy
Husband: Lucius Malfoy
Cousin:Sirius Black

First Mention: Chamber of Secrets

Personality: Supercilious Aristocrat.

Childhood: Narcissa grew up in a high class, bigoted, pureblooded family. They were mostly Slytherins. She is very aristocratic and snobby. She's not however, as violent as her sister Bellatrix.
Narcissa isn't mentioned often in the books, and not at all in the movies. But we know that she's blonde with a small build and fits the role of Lucius' wife quite well.

We also know she didn't want Draco to go to Durmstrang because it was to far away. So we know she does care about Draco.

Besides that, she is very much a mystery.

Remus John Lupin bio

Name: Remus John Lupin [Moony]

Age: 35/36

House: Gryffindor

Special Abilities: He's a werewolf, though it comes into more of a curse than an ability.

Heritage: Half-Blood

Family: Unknown

First Mention: Book 3, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Personality: Remus seems to have been the more responsible of the Marauders when he was at school. As a teacher, he seems to be pretty laid back. Unlike Sirius or James, he seems to have also been a studious person, and more calm.

Remus comes to teach at Hogwarts during Harry's third year, in the book Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.

In his school days, he was best friends with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. He was one of the four Marauders. (And is believed by some to have been the creator of the Marauder's Map because his name is the first to appear in the message given to Snape.) He was also a prefect when he was at school, an attempt by some of the teachers to keep the other Marauders in line. Dumbledore knew Remus was a werewolf, and still let him attend Hogwarts. The Whomping Willow was actually planted as part of an escape rout for Remus. He would escape to the Shrieking Shack [In Hogsmeade] whenever the full moon came around.

James Sirius and Peter eventually found out about Remus being a werewolf, and made themselves animagi in order to accompany Lupin whenever the full moon was about. Lupin was very grateful that they did that for him, and is a very loyal friend.

The first time we see Lupin is on the Hogwarts Express. He is described as looking very tired and worn out, wearing shabby robes. He wards off the dementors that enter the cabin that he, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are staying in. Harry is a little dubious about Professor Lupin at first, when they're in the compartment. Like when Lupin offers Harry a piece of chocolate, Harry is a bit skeptical.

As Harry's third year progresses, Harry gets closer to Professor Lupin, and he quickly becomes Harry's favorite teacher.

When Harry gets the Marauder's map from Fred and George, Lupin helps him save it from the hands of Severus Snape.

When Lupin stops Harry from killing Sirius, Harry believes Remus is a traitor, as do Hermione and Ron. Hermione then reveals to Harry and Ron that Lupin is actually a werewolf. When the secret about Sirius being innocent is revealed, Lupin is more than ready to kill Peter Pettigrew; had it not been for Harry stopping them.

After they save Sirius, Lupin resigns from Hogwarts; due to the fact that Snape revealed to the Slytherins that Lupin was a werewolf. Harry Ron and Hermione, as well as most of Gryffindor House, are sad to see him leave.

In the fifth book, Lupin arrives at Privet Drive to save Harry from his relatives. He is also part of The Order of The Phoenix. Remus tends to keep Sirius in line when he loses his temper. Lupin stops Harry from going after Sirius when he falls behind the veil in book 5.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore bio

Name: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

Age: Approximately 150.

House: Gryffindor.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Long silver hair and beard. Half-moon spectacles, behind which twinkle clear blue eyes. He is considered to be the greatest wizard of modern times. And he has a scar above his knee which is a perfect map of the London Underground.

Heritage: Unknown.

Family: One brother, Aberforth, who was once prosecuted for practicing inappropriate charms on a goat. Aberforth is the barman at the Hog’s Head in Hogsmeade.

First Mention: Chapter One of The Philosopher’s Stone.

General: Albus Dumbledore is a great wizard with an impressive list of achievements to his name. He defeated the Dark Wizard Grindlewald in 1945, he discovered the 12 uses of dragon’s blood, he is the Headmaster of Hogwarts School, and he was also invited to become the Minister of Magic (a post he declined). Also, contrary to some opinion, he worked with Nicolas Flamel to create the Philosopher’s Stone.

There can be no doubt at all Professor Dumbledore is a highly gifted, kind, gentle, insightful and wise man – factors which no doubt led to his appointment as Headmaster of Hogwarts. He record in this particular job is open to some question as he has presided over a number of unnecessarily dangerous times and fiascos at the school, although this hasn’t prevented many people rating him as the finest Headmaster Hogwarts has ever had.

He is also hugely powerful, and can fight a very good battle even at the age of 150. Dumbledore, back then a sprightly 100 years old, was the only teacher to suspect Tom Riddle of some wrongdoing when the Chamber of Secrets was originally opened in 1942. Riddle, of course, went on to become Lord Voldemort, but still lives in fear of the one man he could never deceive. And at the final battle in the Department of Mysteries, it was Dumbledore who drove Riddle away with a minimum of effort.

Professor Dumbledore was appointed to the Hogwarts staff as a teacher of Transfiguration, probably in the late 1800s. He was promoted to Headmaster around 1970, a role he has filled ever since. Also around this time, he was instrumental in the formation of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation dedicated to fighting the rise of Voldemort. That organisation disbanded following the fall of the Dark Lord in 1980, but reconvened in the mid-1990s following his return.

Aside from all of these duties, Dumbledore still finds time to enjoy ten-pin bowling and chamber music, whilst also being the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and the Chairman of the International Confederation of Wizards. He is a role-model for pupils at his school – a very effective communicator, he is able to gain the respect of staff and students alike. Despite his occasional mistakes as Headmaster, Hogwarts has prospered under his leadership.

Cedric Diggory bio

Name:Cedric Diggory.

Age:Died age 17.

House:Hufflepuff.

Distinguishing Characteristics:Tall, handsome, quiet and good at Quidditch.

Heritage:Unknown.

Family:His father, Amos Diggory, works for the Department For The Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

First Mention:Chapter Nine of Prisoner of Azkaban.

General: Cedric was the living proof that everybody in Hufflepuff does not have to be a bit slow, a bit stupid, and a bit fat. Instead he was every inch the model hero – attractively tall, excessively handsome, excellent at sport, and always happy to help out lesser mortals when they needed it.

In 1993, Cedric became a prefect and was made Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, for whom he played as Seeker. In 1994 he was selected as the Hogwarts school champion for the Triwizard Tournament, which is in effect a statement that he was the most able student (of the correct age) in the entire school. Had he lived he would no doubt have gone on to become Head Boy.

Cedric attended the 1994 Yule Ball with Cho Chang, after which she became his girlfriend until his death. During this time period, Cedric was also competing in the Triwizard Tournament, and it was his success in this event that ultimately led to his downfall.

The Third Task of the Tournament had the Champions finding their way round a maze littered with unpleasant surprises in search of the Triwizard Cup which was situated at its centre. Cedric and Harry won through at the same time and took the Cup together. It had been turned into a Portkey by Bartemius Crouch Jnr, however, and took them both to a graveyard where Lord Voldemort and Wormtail were waiting. Cedric was killed instantly on Voldemort’s orders by Wormtail, who cast the Avada Kedavra curse using Voldemort’s wand.

Cedric therefore became the first wizard victim of Lord Voldemort upon his return (although he had already killed the Muggle Frank Bryce). His death came as a great shock to his fellow Hogwarts pupils, and even Professor Dumbledore was moved to make poignant speech praising him at the end-of-term feast. Importantly, Cedric’s murder also marked the return to power of the Dark Lord.
