Harry Potter is one of those series with countless characters. Some of them have names particularly hard to remember. But each of them has a specific function in the beautiful universe that J.K. Rowling created while sitting on a train.

Many dedicated Harry Potter fans will claim that they could name all of these supporting characters. But if they took this quiz, they would be surprised at just how difficult it can be.
