We Bet You Can't Remember All These Harry Potter Characters' Last Names

It’s no secret Harry Potter is incredibly popular — there’s a whole amusement park based off of it, for crying out loud! — and the fandom is incredibly passionate about the storyline and the characters. Harry Potter is about a young boy named Harry who finds out he is wizard when he is 11 years old. Because of his wizard powers, he goes to a school for wizards and witches called Hogwarts. He gets sorted into a house called Gryffindor, which is how he meets his best friends Ron and Hermione. Though he is just a young boy, he also has to deal with a very evil wizard called Dumbledore who is essentially threatening to take over the entire world and turn it dark. The story, which is broken up into seven separate books, is full of adventures and exciting moments.

Though most of us love the main characters, including Harry, Ron, and Hermione, there are so many side characters who deserve just as much love. From Luna, to Neville, to even Hagrid, we are just as obsessed with these supporting characters as we are with the main people. But, do you know all these characters’ last names? We hope so!

Go ahead, take this quiz, and test your knowledge on these characters’ last names. If you’re a diehard Harry Potter fan you should do fairly well!

Question 1

This is Hermione _________.

If you call yourself a Harry Potter fan, you will definitely know Hermione’s last name. If you don’t, we’re kicking you out of the fan club! Not really, but you should know this. She was Ron and Harry’s best friend —duh — and was by their side through thick and thin all 7 years at Hogwarts. Though she was sometimes too smart for her own good, her brains always helped out at the best of times. Good job, Hermione! What is this character’s last name?

Question 2

This is Neville ________.

Who could ever forget the brave and courageous Neville?! He is definitely one of the most beloved Harry Potter characters of all time and is the reason why so many fans are obsessed with the books and with the movies. Though he started out his journey as the nerd who couldn’t do anything right, Neville steps up in a huge way at the end of the series. Thanks for being the best, Neville! We love you. What is this character’s last name?

Question 3

This is Narcissa _______.

Alright, now we are getting into some of the tricker questions, though you die hard Harry Potter fans will certainly be able to get this right. Narcissa is obviously the mother of Draco, which means she is not a very nice person and is in fact actually very dark. We don’t see a lot of Narcissa in the books or in the movies, but we all know she isn’t a good person and nobody should trust her. What is this character’s last name?

Question 4

This is Lily _______.

This should be easy — or is it?! Nobody loved Harry more than his own mother, Lily. Though we see her in flashbacks with Harry’s father, we never actually get to see her in real time because she obviously passed away when Harry was just a little boy. Thanks a lot, Voldemort. The good news is that she loved Harry very much and was a good mother to him during their short time together. What is this character’s last name?

Question 5

This is Minerva _______.

You big Harry Potter fans must certainly get this question right otherwise you probably shouldn’t call yourself a fan. Sorry, we’re just pointing out facts at this point. This professor is probably the most beloved at Hogwarts and she is the reason why so many of the characters turn out to be such great wizards and witches. Though she is tough on her students, she clearly loves them deeply and has their best interests at heart. What is this character’s last name?

Question 6

This is Ginny _______.

Another one you should probably get right, we’re just saying! Ginny is Ron’s younger sister and part of that incredibly huge family that we love so much. She is younger than Ron, Harry, and Hermione, but she becomes very close to all of them. In fact, she ends up falling in love and marrying Harry! Though we don’t see a lot of her in the books and movies, she is definitely a major character. What is this character’s last name?

Question 7

This is Harry ______.

Alright, if you don’t get this one right then you should probably stop taking this quiz right now! Harry is the main character of the story — the book is named after him, after all! — and he spends the duration of the books dealing with the wrath of Voldemort. His best friends are Ron and Hermione and he eventually ends up in a relationship with Ginny Weasley. What is this character’s last name? (Please don’t get this one wrong!)

Question 8

This is Lavender ______.

This one may be a bit tougher, especially if you aren’t a super big Harry Potter fan. Lavender was a member of the Gryffindor house and became friends with Harry during her time at Hogwarts. In fact, she joined his army to fight Voldemort and his gang of bad friends when they got a bit older. Unfortunately — spoiler alert! — she ended up dying in the Battle of Hogwarts, which was incredibly devastating. We miss you, Lavender! What is this character’s last name?

Question 9

This is Oliver _______.

If you were a young girl, or boy, when you watched the first Harry Potter movie, there’s a good chance you had a crush on Oliver. Oliver was the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team — swoon! — and was the first person to encourage Harry to join the team. In fact, he even gave Harry his first lesson when he was just a first year. Though he graduated way before Harry and his friends fought Voldemort, he did come back for the Battle of Hogwarts. What is this character’s last name?

Question 10

This is Garrick _______.

If you know anything about wands, you will definitely know who this character is! He is unofficially the wand master. Garrick works in Diagon Alley and owns a very special wand shop. In fact, he may be the best wandmaker in the world, at least according to us! Hagrid brings Harry to his wand shop to pick out his very own wand. He was very fascinated with what powerful wizards and witches could do with their wands. What is this character’s last name?

Question 11

This is Luna _______.

How could we ever forget Luna’s last name? Luna is definitely a fan favorite among Harry Potter fans, mostly for her fun personality, carefree attitude, and strange sayings. She truly does not care what people think of her, which makes her very endearing. She is a member of the Ravenclaw house. She also joined Dumbledore’s Army during her fourth year at Hogwarts and helped to fight Voldemort. She became very good friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione. What is this character’s last name?

Question 12

This is Dolores ______.

It’s no secret that Dolores is one of the most hated characters to ever exist in the Harry Potter universe. She became one of the big villains in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and was determined to make Harry’s life miserable. She was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for a period of time and then she became the headmaster of Hogwarts. At the end of the books she was ultimately sentenced to life in Azkaban.

Question 13

This is Ron _______.

Just like Harry, if you don’t know who this character is we suggest ending the quiz at this very moment. Ron is obviously Harry’s best friend and he meets him during his first year in Hogwarts when he also gets sorted into Gryffindor. Ron also falls in love with Hermione, his other close friend, and they ultimately get married. Ron comes from a very big family and has a lot of siblings, which means his family is not that well off and they don’t that much money. But, they become like a second family for Harry, who doesn’t have parents. What is this character’s last name?

Question 14

This is Nymphadora ______.

Nymphadora may be one of the most underrated characters in Harry Potter, at least in our opinion! She is older than Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but when she did attend Hogwarts she was a part of the Hufflepuff house. Once she graduated from school she joined the MInistry of Magic and she also joined the Order of the Phoenix. In fact, she even fell in love with Remus Lupin and declared her love for him. What is this character’s last name?

Question 15

This is Viktor _______.

Viktor was only a major part of the Harry Potter world for one book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but he was definitely important to the story. He was a Bulgarian wizard and went to Durmstrang Institute, which was an all boys school. He visited Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament and competed on behalf of Durmstrang. He also developed a crush on Hermione and asked her to attend the Yule Ball with him. What is this character’s last name?

Question 16

This is Severus _______.

Just like some of the others, if you aren’t able to remember Severus’ last name, you probably shouldn’t call yourself a Harry Potter fan. Severus was the Potions teacher for many years before becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He also become the headmaster of Hogwarts for a period of time. He was very hard on Harry, but he was ultimately on his side and helping Dumbledore take down Voldemort as a double agent. What is this character’s last name?

Question 17

This is Barty _______.

Barty was a member of the Ministry of Magic. He is first mentioned in Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, but the ministry isn't a major part of the storyline until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He works hard to put bad people away, but he doesn't quite understand how serious the issues are. In fact, he ends up getting killed by his son, Barty Crouch, Jr, which was very sad. What is this character's last name?

Question 18

This is Draco _______.

If you’ve read the Harry Potter books or watched the Harry Potter movie, you definitely know this character and know that he is so bad that he's good. Draco is Harry’s enemy throughout the entirety of the story and is always fighting against him. Draco gets put into the Slytherin house and fights with Voldemort to kill Harry and his friends. He doesn’t die, but he never becomes friends with Harry at the end of the story. What is this character’s last name?

Question 19

This is Cho _______.

Aw, Harry’s first love interest! Cho was Harry’s first crush way back in the fourth movie. She was a part of the Ravenclaw house and was a seeker for their Quidditch team. She was interested in Cedric Diggory at the time, but she eventually fell for Harry too. In fact, the pair shared a kiss during Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. Though she and Harry didn’t work out, she did return to help fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. What is this character’s last name?

Question 20

This is Albus _______.

Another Harry Potter character that you must know, especially if you call yourself a big fan of the story. Albus is the headmaster at Hogwarts for much of the story and is one of the best wizards out there. He also fiercely protects Harry and his close friends from Voldemort. He is very wise and always helps when he is needed most. Sadly, Albus dies at the end of the story in order to protect Harry. What is this character’s name?

Question 21

This is Gilderoy ______.

Professor Gilderoy was a member of the Ravenclaw house when he was a student at Hogwarts way back in the day. He returned to Hogwarts as a teacher when Harry was a student and took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. He was very full of himself during his time as a teacher and fabricated many stories in order to make himself seem more interesting. Needless to say, he didn't last long at the school. What is this character’s name?

Question 22

This is Molly _______.

We love Molly so much, she may be our favorite character in Harry Potter! Ok, she’s not our favorite, but we do love her and think she’s very underrated. Molly is the mother of Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, and Percy. She is a fantastic mother and even welcomes Harry and Hermione into her life and into their family because neither of them have witch mothers. We love all her moments in the story. What is this character’s name?

Question 23

This is Peter ______.

We really do not like this character at all, and you probably don't either. Peter’s nickname is Wormtail and he’s basically the worst ever. He has the ability to transform himself as a rat and he spends the first two books as Ron’s pet rat, Scabbers. It is then revealed in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that he’s actually Ron’s rat. He returns to work for Voldemort and becomes his trusty sidekick. What is this character’s last name?

Question 24

This is Bellatrix _______.

Bellatrix was one bad lady, that’s for sure, but for some reason she was one of the most interesting characters. She was first introduced in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and she is extremely faithful to Voldemort. She loves torturing people, especially Harry and his band of close friends. She is also Draco’s aunt. She also spent a good amount of time in Azkaban, but she is able to escape and she rejoins Voldemort. What is this character’s last name?

Question 25

This is Rubeus _______.

Alright, this guy may be the most beloved character in the whole entire Harry Potter series. He is the gamekeeper and the Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. He eventually worked as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Though he’s a bit misunderstood by most of the students at Hogwarts, he is very loyal to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He always protects them and makes sure they are taken care of, no matter what. What is the character’s last name?

Question 26

This is Mad-Eye ______.

We couldn’t quite figure this guy out, but we definitely liked him when the story was all said and done. He is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as the brand new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. However, he was actually attacked by Barry Crouch Jr before he took the position and Barry used polyjuice potion to take on his appearance so he could be inside Hogwarts. So complicated! What is the character’s last name?

Question 27

This is Filius _______.

You should definitely remember this character’s name if you call yourself a Harry Potter fan. Though he doesn’t have a huge role in the movie, his is vital to the story line. Filius is part goblin and part wizard. He was a member of the Ravenclaw house when he attended Hogwarts. He then returned to Hogwarts to teach Charms. He was always against Voldemort and did his best to protect the students of Hogwarts. What is the character’s last name?

Question 28

This is Cedric _______.

OK, how could we ever forget this character?! If you’re a fan of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, you definitely know who Cedric is. Cedric was a student at Hogwarts and was a member of the Hufflepuff house. He also played Quidditch and was the seeker for the Hufflepuff team. Then, during his sixth year, he entered into the Triwizard Tournament and competed on behalf of Hufflepuff. He unfortunately died at the hands of Voldemort. What is the character’s last name?

Question 29

This is Cornelius _______.

You should remember this character from Harry Potter, especially if you watched — or read — the latter books and movies. This character was in charge of the Ministry of Magic and was the Minister for Magic, which means he governed the entire wizarding body. He also organized the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament. But, after Cedric died, he had a very hard time believing Voldemort was back and began a campaign to discredit Harry Potter. What is the character’s last name?

Question 30

This is Rita _______.

We really didn’t care for this character — and neither did anybody else, if we are being honest. Rita was a witch journalist who was obsessed with gossip and didn’t really care much for telling the truth. Whenever she interviewed Harry she was more obsessed with his relationship gossip then she was telling his real story. Remember what went down during the Triwizard Tournament? Needless to say, it was frustrating for pretty much everybody. What is the character’s last name?

Question 31

This is Lucius ________.

Lucius was a member of the Slytherin house when he was a student at Hogwarts many years ago. He is Draco’s father and strongly believes in pureblood witches and wizards, which is why he doesn’t like witches and wizards who are born to muggles — aka normal humans (like Hermione). He also joined the Death Eaters and worked close to Voldemort. He is also the reason why Draco hates Harry, Ron, and Hermione so much. What is the character’s last name?

Question 32

This is Argus _______.

Most Harry Potter fans clearly remember this character, and why wouldn’t you? He doesn't have a huge storyline, but he is memorable. Argus was a Squid and also the caretaker of Hogwarts. He was always walking around the halls trying to catch students who were breaking the rules. Though he was a bit grumpy and mean at times, he usually meant well. He also loved his cat Mrs. Norris, who he carried around everywhere. What is the character’s last name?

Question 33

This is Horace _______.

Ah, this guy. You may not remember him if you aren't a diehard. When Horace was a student at Hogwarts he was a member of the Slytherin house. He also tough Potions at Hogwarts when he returned as a teacher. He ultimately retired because he was afraid Dumbledore would find out about fact he told Tom Riddle about the Horcruxes. Ah, so complicated! Ultimately Horace fought in the Battle of Hogwarts with “the good guys.” What is the character’s last name?

Question 34

This is Sirius _______.

We may never love another character more than we love Sirius. He first entered the story during Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He was first portrayed as a bad guy who wanted to kill Harry, but it was revealed at the end of the third book that he was on Harry’s side, and was in fact his godfather. Sirius joined the Order, but was ultimately killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange during Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. What is the character’s last name?

Question 35

This is Remus _______.

When Remus was a student at Hogwarts he was sorted into the Gryffindor house. While he was in school he became best friends with Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. He also taught at Hogwarts for a year and was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Unfortunately he had to resign his position because it was revealed that he turns into a werewolf when it becomes dark. Sadly he was killed during the Battle of Hogwarts. What is the character’s last name?
