There are some moments in life that are too rich to forget, and reading the first Harry Potter book is one of them. While many of us were introduced to this book in a school-setting, some of us had it dropped on our lap by loving parents or friends. There is something special about the Harry Potter series that no other author has managed to master. While a good portion of this has to do with the magical world, there is a hidden meaning behind every word that keeps us readers coming back for more.
One would think that inventing a whole other world would be impossible to do, but authors like J.K. Rowling have proved that it is not. On top of creating the wizarding world as we know it, J.K. Rowling also put a wide range of names into our minds. These wizards might have been born in the corners of our mind's imagination, but they were eventually given a face on the big screen.
The following wizards might all have something fun and spunky to offer, but their magical powers definitely differ from one another. So, muggle, rate their skills and we'll reunite you with a would-be magical bestie.
Hermione Granger
Hermione Granger might be the daughter of muggles, but she is a witch in every sense of the word. Without her extensive knowledge and stubbornness, Harry and Ron would never have accomplished what they had. She is a wicked witch with a heart of gold, and we love her for it!
Professor Severus Snape
From the get go, every single reader was led to believe that Professor Severus Snape was an evil follower of Lord Voldemort. However, it was eventually decreed that he was the opposite of this. While his teaching methods and way of being might have been alarming, he was a good guy after all.
Professor Albus Dumbledore
If there is one Harry Potter character that we can't help but love, it's the one and only Professor Albus Dumbledore. This incredibly honest and selfless man took it upon himself to love and nurture thousands of students, year after year. In the end, he gave his life to the cause.
Ron Weasley
Ron Weasley might not be the most powerful wizard in the world, but he is definitely one of the most courageous ones. While his first instinct is to flee with the speed of light, he isn't one to leave a friend behind. Ron is truly one of a kind.
Professor Horace Slughorn
Some people might see Professor Horace Slughorn as a coward, and they'd be right to assume so. Sure, he might enjoy being surrounding by intelligent and brave wizards, but he isn't one to join in on the fight when the winning side is the opposition.
Sybill Trelawney
While there are many real psychics in the world, their reputations are tarnished by the large amount of fake psychics. Sybill Trelawney might not seem like the real deal, but she is one to see premonitions every once in a while. Is this teacher the real deal?
Professor Filius Flitwick
There is no one as dedicated to their job as Professor Filius Flitwick, and this has been proven by him showing up to every single one of his classes — no matter who the headmaster is. Professor Filius Flitwick is the Charms teacher, as well as the head of the Ravenclaw household.
Oliver Wood
Oliver Wood might not have been the most present character in the wizarding world, but this is only because he was many years Harry's senior. He was the captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team, and he saw potential in Harry like no other.
Seamus Finnigan
Seamus Finnigan might not be a main character, but he is a known Gryffindor and an ally. He is often seen sitting next to Harry and Ron, and blowing things up in Charms and Potions class. He is a brave Gryffindor who isn't afraid to raise his wand against injustice.
Draco Malfoy
Draco Malfoy is the son of an evil man, but this doesn't make him evil by association. In truth, Draco just wanted to live his own life, but he never got the chance to. His hatred for Harry and muggles alike stemmed from his father's hand, which he followed blindly.
Pansy Parkinson
Pansy Parkinson is a close friend of Draco Malfoy's, however, she is more present in the book series than she is in the movies. Pansy is a Slytherin who appears to have a crush on Draco, and she'll act out of line to get him to acknowledge her.
Rita Skeeter
If there's one journalist we all know and despise, it's the putrid Rita Skeeter. This little blonde woman might appear to be kind at first, but this is only because she wants something. She also has the ability to transform herself into a beetle, which is pretty significant.
Ginny Weasley
Ginny Weasley is the youngest and only daughter of the Weasley clan, and she's as ferocious as they come. When she was only eleven years old, she was possessed by Tom Riddle's diary and made to do evil things. She was eventually saved by Harry and Ron.
Luna Lovegood
Luna Lovegood might seem like a strange character, and she is, but as many of us have come to find... there's nothing wrong with being strange. Luna Lovegood might be a Ravenclaw, but she's as brave as any Gryffindor we've ever seen. She's also keen on helping out Harry and his pals.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter was born into a muggle household and told repeatedly that he was nothing special. No matter how awful, without this upbringing, Harry might not have become the humble and lovable character we all know. He is an extremely powerful wizard, who is courageous and selfless beyond belief.
Sirius Black
When the name Sirius Black is first mentioned, we are led to believe that it is the name of an evil man when in fact, it isn't. This Azkaban-escapee has a bad reputation due to false accusations, and he's determined to set them straight. He is Harry's godfather.
Bellatrix Lestrange
Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the most evil witches in the wizarding world, and arguably the most insane. She finds pleasure in atrocious things, and isn't one to back away from a fight. While she may be evil like no other, she is a fantastic witch...this can't be denied.
Lord Voldemort
Some of us are afraid to speak his name out loud, and with good reason too! This evil villain might be powerful beyond belief, but he is equally as wicked. His fixation on Harry Potter simply won't let out, which is something Harry quickly caught wind of.
Remus Lupin
When Remus Lupin is first introduced, he is seen as a sleeping passenger on the train. When the Dementors make their first appearance, however, he springs to life and fights them away from Harry's soul. Remus is a werewolf, and he'll go to drastic lengths to hide this fact.
Neville Longbottom
When we're first introduced to Neville Longbottom, we believe him to be a total tart. However, as the series progresses, we quickly find out why he was sorted into Gryffindor. Neville is a kind soul who has a personal vendetta to pick with Lord Voldemort's army.
Nymphadora Tonks
Nymphadora Tonks doesn't like her first name, and can we really blame her? In the end, she prefers to go by Tonks, so let's do her a solid. Tonks is a metamorphmagus, which means that she can change her appearance at will. She is a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
Professor Minerva McGonagall
Professor Minerva McGonagall is the proud head of the Gryffindor house and the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. She is an Animagus who has the ability to turn into a cat. She is a kind yet stern teacher who is found of keeping her lips smacked down in a straight line.
James Potter
James Potter is the father of the boy who lived, and while Harry alway thought that he was a saint in every way, he later found out that he was not. James bullied Severus a whole lot, and while he eventually regretted it the past can't be undone.
Dolores Umbridge
If there's one Harry Potter character who is worse than Lorde Voldemort, it's Dolores Umbridge. This Ministry official is fond of pink power suits and cats, yet she is the furthest thing away from sweet. In the end, however, she gets what's coming to her.
Peter Pettigrew
Peter Pettigrew is the reason behind Sirius Black's sentencing, and he knew this for a long time. Peter is also an animagus, however, he transforms into a rat. Peter posed as Ron's pet rat for many years, but his true form was only revealed after Sirius prompted him out of hiding.
Lily Evans Potter
Lily Evans Potter is the mother of the boy who lived, and she seems to have been the sweetest girl in town. However, she did keep Professor Snape in the friend zone for quite some time. He was so devoted to her that he watched over her son while he was at Hogwarts.
Cho Chang
Cho Chang is a proud Ravenclaw who went out with Cedric Diggory before his untimely passing. She was Harry's crush, but she turned him down when he asked her out to the Yule Ball. She became a member of Dumbledore's Army, and fought and survived during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Fleur Delacour
Fleur Delacour is a French witch who attended the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. She came to Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament and competed for her school. She eventually gets married to Bill Wealsey and joins the Weasley household. She is beautiful and talented, and not shallow in the slightest.
Viktor Krum
Viktor Krum is a Bulgarian wizard who came to Hogwarts to compete for the Durmstrang Institute during the Triwizard Tournament. He was particularly taken by Hermione Granger, however, she had feelings for someone else. He eventually becomes the Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team.
Gilderoy Lockhart
Gilderoy Lockhart is a famous writer in the wizarding world, but most of what he writes about is an exaggeration of the truth. While many of his students believed him to be brave and mighty, it turned out that he was the exact opposite of that. Rate his wizarding powers!
Lavender Brown
Lavender Brown is a young witch who was sorted into the Gryffindor household. She was madly in love with Harry Potter and tried to slip him a love potion. Unfortunately for her, it was Ron Weasley who ended up falling for her. However, she didn't seem to mind this one bit.
Alastor Moody
When Professor Alastor Moody became the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, he struck the young wizards as strange. However, they never would have imagined that he wasn't who he appeared to be. This wizard is as tough as nails, and a good guy despite how he was initially portrayed.
Gregory Goyle
Gregory Goyle is a Slytherin who seems to follow others rather than speak for himself. He is one of Draco Malfoy's henchmen and is often portrayed as a tool. His parents are proud followers of Lord Voldemort and he is keen on following in their footsteps.
