Hogwarts Class of 1998 (The Longest Post I’ll Ever Make)

This is a project that has taken me over two months to finish but finally, the finished product is here. This is my final list on who the forty students in Harry’s year were and their significance in the books, movies, or video games, along with some of my own headcanons thrown in. (Disclaimer: Not Cursed Child compliant)

Hannah Abbott - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? Hannah Abbott was the first to be sorted in Philosopher’s Stone. On several occasions, she distrusted or was against Harry, but joined the DA in her 5th year. She was also made a prefect. Her mother died in her 6th year, most likely killed by Death Eaters and was taken out of school. She came back the next year, joined the revived DA, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. She was later announced to be married to Neville Longbottom, but as that is not in the books, it’s up to you.

Susan Bones - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? She was one of the first few kids to be sorted in the Philosopher’s Stone. In Chamber of Secrets, due to their shared interest in Gilderoy Lockhart, she is seen with Hermione Granger a lot and were believed to be friends, which would mean that two of Susan’s friends, Justin and Hermione, were petrified. As the war began, it is likely that Susan was scared, having already lost many of her relatives, including, possibly, her parents. In her 6th year, she lost her aunt, Amelia Bones, and also lost her leg in a splinching accident. She did, however, get her leg back. It is unknown if she had any remaining living relatives. She was in both the original and revived DA.

Terry Boot - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? In Chamber of Secrets, he joined the Dueling Club and received a wound that Lockhart told him to pinch off. Later, in Order of the Phoenix, he joined the DA and was seemingly amazed by Hermione Granger’s magical skills. He was one of the twelve students in N.E.W.T. Level Potions. In his seventh year, he joined the revived DA, gave Harry Potter information about Ravenclaw’s diadem, fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, and killed at least one death eater with the spell “Everte Statum”.

Mandy Brocklehurst - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? She was one of the students sorted in Philosopher’s Stone and did not make further appearances.

Lavender Brown - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Lavender Brown was the first student to be sorted into Gryffindor in Philosopher’s Stone, making her the roommate to Hermione Granger, whom she had conflicts with, and Parvati Patil, who fans believe was her best friend. She took great interest in Divination and looked up to Professor Trelawney. In her fourth year, she went to the Yule Ball with Seamus Finnigan. She joined the DA in her 5th year, though she briefly believed he was lying. In 6th year, she had a relationship with Ron Weasley that did not end well. In Deathly Hallows, she joined the revised DA, fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and may have been killed by Fenrir Greyback, though it could be argued she only died in the movie.

Millicent Bulstrode - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Millicent Bulstrode was likely the first student to be sorted into Slytherin in Philosopher’s Stone. In Chamber of Secrets, she dueled Hermione Granger in the Dueling Club and had a cat that Hermione accidently polyjuiced into. She was part of Dolores Umbridge’s Inquisitorial Squad in the Order of the Phoenix, unsurprisingly, as it was full of all, or at least mainly, Slytherin students. Little else is known about her.

Michael Corner - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? Not much is known about Michael Corner until his later years at Hogwarts, when he began dating Ginny Weasley and joined the DA because of her. He had trouble disarming her because of his feelings, which is how Harry Potter and Ron Weasley found out about their relationship. His relationship with Ginny ended when he was a sore loser after Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw in Quidditch and at some point, he began dating Cho Chang. He was one of 12 students in N.E.W.T. level potions and at the end of his 6th year, did not participate in the battle that broke out for some reason. In Deathly Hallows, he joined the revived DA, was tortured by the Carrows for releasing a first year student, participated in the discussion about Ravenclaw’s diadem, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Vincent Crabbe - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Usually seen with Gregory Goyle and Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe is usually seen as more of a follower than a leader, and also quite stupid. In Chamber of Secrets, he was tricked into eating cakes that would make him pass out, and Ron Weasley took one of his hairs and polyjuiced into him. He, along with Malfoy and Goyle dressed up as dementors in Prisoner of Azkaban to scare Harry Potter, and passed out badges that read “Support Cedric Diggory” and “POTTER STINKS!” in Goblet of Fire. He and Goyle caused Harry Potter, George Weasley, and Fred Weasley to get lifetime bans from Quidditch. At the end of his 5th year, his father was arrested for being a death eater, and when he went after Harry for being the reason his father was in Azkaban, he was transfigured into a slug. In 6th year, he was forced to transfigure into a girl to guard the Room of Requirement, which Malfoy was using to repair a vanishing cabinet that would help death eaters get into Hogwarts. He died in the Battle of Hogwarts, after falling to his death in the Room of Requirement.

Tracey Davis - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Never mentioned in the books, not even at the sorting, her character is mostly known about from out of canon sources, specifically Pottermore. She is listed on J.K. Rowling’s Original Forty list, which is one of the top inspirations for this list. She is listed as a Slytherin, and is likely a halfblood.

Fay Dunbar - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Fay Dunbar is officially a movie and video game character, but has more information about her than some characters on the Original Forty list, which she is not on. She was likely a pureblood or halfblood, as she only had brief knowledge if of hairdryers, referring to one as a machine for drying hair. She loved Quidditch (she is most likely a beater), may have been in the Gobstones club, wanted to be an auror, and was consistently seen with a ginger girl who she dormed with (see Ainsley Hitchcock). She was in Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. It is unknown if she joined the DA or fought in Battle of Hogwarts.

Kevin Entwhistle - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? Never mentioned in the books, not even at the sorting, his character is mostly known about from out of canon sources, specifically Pottermore. He is listed on J.K. Rowling’s Original Forty list, which is one of the top inspirations for this list. He might be related to Annabel Entwhistle.

Justin Finch-Fletchley - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? He is a muggleborn, likely from an upper middle class family, as he was preparing to go to Eton before going to Hogwarts. He was sorted into Hufflepuff in the Philosopher’s Stone. He is seen as a bit of a suck up as he tries to flatter and impress many characters throughout the books. An incident involving the Dueling Club led him to distrust Harry Potter, and was petrified sometime later, leading his friends to distrust Harry as well. Though they got along well after Chamber of Secrets, he distrusted Harry again in Goblet of Fire, supporting his fellow housemate Cedric Diggory instead. Still, he joined the DA in Order of the Phoenix. As a muggleborn, he did not return for his seventh year and may have went on the run or may have been tracked down and killed. His fate is unknown.

Seamus Finnigan - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Seamus Finnigan is an Irish student at Hogwarts and one of the boys whom Harry shares a dorm with. His most notable quote is actually one that is misquoted in the movies (The actual quote is “ “I’m half-and-half,” said Seamus. “Me dad’s a Muggle. Mum didn’t tell him she was a witch ’til after they were married. Bit of a nasty shock for him,” btw). He is well known for setting things on fire, the first occurance being when he was partnered with Harry in Charms class while learning the levitation charm. Seamus knew quite a bit about quidditch, sometimes lending tips to Harry, particularly before his first match. He was partnered with Ron during the Dueling Club, and was knocked to the ground by Ron’s malfunctioning wand. He was often seen with Dean Thomas, even outside of school. His greatest fear in third year was a banshee. He attended the Quidditch World Cup with his mother and Dean, rooted for Ireland, and at some point purchased a rosette for the team. He believed Harry tricked the goblet to let him compete in the tournament. He went to the Yule Ball with Lavender Brown. Seamus did not believe that Voldemort was back, most likely due to his mother’s beliefs, and did not originally join the DA, though he did start going after Harry’s interview in The Quibbler. Seamus tried out for chaser in his sixth year, but was turned down and Dean Thomas became chaser instead. Seamus returned to Hogwarts in his seventh year, joined the revised DA, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. His patronus was a fox.

Anthony Goldstein - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? Anthony Goldstein was a distant relative of Tina and Queenie Goldstein, I personally believe they and his great-grandfather were cousins. He, like them, is Jewish. He did not appear at the sorting. In fifth year, he became Ravenclaw prefect, along with Padma Patil. He, believing that Umbridge’s DADA classes were worthless, joined the DA. He was paired with Zacharias Smith during at least one of the meetings. He was part of the group who turned Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle into something that resembled giant slugs on the train at the end of the year. Anthony returned to Hogwarts in his seventh year, joined the revised DA, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Gregory Goyle - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Usually seen with Vincent Crabbe and Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle is usually seen as more of a follower than a leader, and also quite stupid. In Chamber of Secrets, he was tricked into eating cakes that would make him pass out, and Harry Potter took one of his hairs and polyjuiced into him. He, along with Malfoy and Crabbe dressed up as dementors in Prisoner of Azkaban to scare Harry Potter, and passed out badges that read "Support Cedric Diggory” and “POTTER STINKS!” in Goblet of Fire. He and Crabbe caused Harry Potter, George Weasley, and Fred Weasley to get lifetime bans from Quidditch. At the end of his 5th year, he was transfigured into a slug when he went after Harry for being the reason Malfoy and Crabbe’s fathers were arrested. In 6th year, he was forced to transfigure into a girl to guard the Room of Requirement, which Malfoy was using to repair a vanishing cabinet that would help death eaters get into Hogwarts. He lost his best friend, Crabbe, in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Hermione Granger - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Of course you know her. But I’ll list some of her highlights anyways: Daughter of Magnus and Imogen Granger, sister of Cymbeline and Cornelius Granger, best friends with Harry and Ron, shares a dorm with Lavender and Parvarti, used a time turner to go to all her classes in PoA, slapped Draco Malfoy, prefect for Gryffindor, founder of Dumbledore’s Army, wife of Ronald Weasley, and Minister of Magic; seriously, she’s #goals.

Daphne Greengrass - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Daphne Greengrass was a Slytherin girl in Harry’s year, most likely friends with Pansy Parkinson. She is sister to Noe and Astoria Greengrass, sister-in-law of Draco Malfoy, and aunt to Scorpius and Indus Malfoy.

Ainsley Hitchcock - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Ainsley Hitchcock, usually known as Fay Dunbar’s friend, is a movie/video game character who is ginger and in Gryffindor. She was presumably either a muggleborn or halfblood. She took Care of Magical Creatures and Divinations, along with Fay, dislikes Crabbe and Goyle, and was not a fan of playing quidditch but did watch it.

Wayne Hopkins - HUFFLEPUFF

Meghan Jones - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? Usually known as “Megan Jones”, she is never mentioned in the books, not even at the sorting, her character is mostly known about from out of canon sources, specifically Pottermore. She is listed on J.K. Rowling’s Original Forty list, which is one of the top inspirations for this list. She is a relation of Hestia and Gwenog Jones and is a Hufflepuff.

Leanne Kothari - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? Leanne Kothari, previously known as simply Leanne, was a Hufflepuff. She was friends with Katie Bell, witnessed Katie being put under a curse at Hogsmeade in the Half-Blood Prince, was a member of the revived Dumbledore’s Army, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Sue Li - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? Never mentioned in the books, not even at the sorting, Sue Li’s character is mostly known about from out of canon sources, specifically Pottermore. She is listed on J.K. Rowling’s Original Forty list, which is one of the top inspirations for this list. She is listed as a Ravenclaw.

Neville Longbottom - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t recognize them? Neville Longbottom was the pureblood son of Frank Longbottom and Alice Fawley, and was raised by his paternal granmother, Augusta Longbottom, after his parents were tortured. He was the other boy that fit the prophecy (other than Harry). He made acquaintance with Hermione Granger on the train while looking for his toad, Trevor. He was often the butt of the joke, portayed as naive and dumb and was an easy target for Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape, but he was also shown as incredibly brave and extremely intelligent when it came to Herbology. He took Ginny Weasley to the Yule Ball, but was never shown to have a romantic relationship with her. He was a member of the original DA (and also fought in the Battle at the Department of Mysteries) and a founder of the revived DA, and lead his fellow students into the battle. He killed the last horcrux, Voldemort’s snake Nagini. He went on to marry Hannah Abbott, had three daughters, and became the Herbology professor.

Isobel MacDougal - RAVENCLAW

Don’t recognize them? Mentioned in the books at the sorting as Morag MacDougal, I chose to go with one of her previous names revealed on Pottermore - Isobel (I just like it better).

Ernie Macmillan - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t recognize them? Ernie Macmillan was an academically gifted pureblood wizard sorted into Hufflepuff. He was friends with Hannah Abbott and Justin Finch-Fletchley, and suspected Harry of being the heir of Slytherin briefly until Hermione was petrified. He also believed Harry cheated to get into the Triwizard Tournament and wore Potter Stinks! badges but was ultimately one of the few students that believed Harry when he said Voldemort was back. He was part of the original and revived DA and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. His patronus was a boar.

Draco Malfoy - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Stop lying, there is no way you don’t know ferret boy. Key moments would be: son of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black, tried and failed to be friends with Harry Potter, owned a house elf named Dobby until he was 12, got injured by Buckbeak and set off a long trial that led to almost execution of Buckbeak, was slapped by Hermione Granger, got turned into a ferret temporarily, went to the Yule Ball with Pansy Parkinson, was a key source of rumours for Rita Skeeter, was a prefect and a member of the Inquistorial Squad, became a death eater at 16, was assigned to kill Dumbledore and failed, became the master of the Elder Wand unknowningly, at some point became more reluctant in his death eater duties, did not want to identify the trio when snatchers brought them to the Malfoy Manor, was disarmed by Harry Potter, watched one of his close friends fall to his death, was punched by Ron Weasley, and in the movies, was shown to be hesitant to join Dumbledore. He survived the war and later married Astoria Greengrass and had a son named Scorpius.

Lily Moon - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? She was one of the students sorted in Philosopher’s Stone and did not make further appearances.

Bem Nenge - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? Bem was a movie character who showed up in Prisoner of Azkaban as a Gryffindor and is known for his lines in that movie but was later retconned as a Ravenclaw in the Order of the Phoenix, likely due to the fact that there is no sixth Gryffindor boy in Harry’s year.He was credited as “Boy 1″ and “Ravenclaw Boy” in the respective movies, but was identified as Bem in the captions of POA. He is likely half-blood or pureblood, because he had knowledge of the Grim. His name implies he is of Nigerian, specifically Tiv, descent.

Theodore Nott - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Theodore Nott was the son of a death eater. He was one of three students who could see thestrals in a fifth year Care of Magical Creatures lesson. His father was outed as a death eater at the end of his fifth year, which caused Professor Slughorn not to invite him into the Slug Club the next year. It is unknown what he did during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Pansy Parkinson - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Pansy Parkinson was often seen with Draco Malfoy. She mocked Neville Longbottom and Parvati Patil in the first flying lesson in Philosopher’s Stone. In Prisoner of Askaban, she fawned over and exaggerated Malfoy’s injury in order to incriminate Hagrid and get Buckbeak executed. She spread rumors about Hermione Granger in their fourth year, laughed when Malfoy hexed Hermione’s teeth to grow to an enormous size, and went to the Yule Ball with Malfoy. She made prefect in Order of the Phoenix and joined Umbridge’s Inquisitorial Squad and also made a racist comment towards Angelina Johnson, led her classmates in a mocking song during quidditch to throw off the Gryffindor team, insulted Harry and Cho on their date, and was hexed into growing a pair of antlers. During the Battle of Hogwarts, she suggested turning him over to Voldemort. She left Hogwarts before the true battle began.

Padma Patil - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? Padma Patil is the twin sister of Parvati Patil and is a Ravenclaw. She is described as one of “the two best-looking girls in the year” though she ended up being asked to the Yule Ball last minute by Ron Weasley, and was mostly ignored by her date throughout the night, eventually ditching him for a Beauxbatons boy. She became Prefect in her fifth year and joined the D.A. , showing a little bit of her rebel side by destroying some of the speakers that Umbridge had placed around school with her sister and Harry Potter, though this was in a video game, not the books. She was pulled out of school briefly at the end of her sixth year, her parents thinking that it was unsafe for their daughters to continue going there but was forced to go back for her seventh year due to mandatory attendance for halfbloods and purebloods. She fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and survived the war, though nothing is known of her later life.

Parvati Patil - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Parvati Patil is the twin sister of Padma Patil and is a Gryffindor. She is quick to defend her friends, shown in the first flying lesson when she defended both Neville and Harry. She was also shown to be okay friends with her dorm mate, Hermione Granger, as she was the one to find her crying in the girls bathroom and she also hugged Hermione at a quidditch game. She showed curiosity about the Chamber of Secrets in her second year. She was best friends with Lavender Brown and they bonded over their love of Divinations in their third year, and it was also revealed in this year that her greatest fear was mummies. She is described as one of “the two best-looking girls in the year” though she ended up being asked to the Yule Ball last minute by Harry Potter, and was mostly ignored by her date throughout the night, eventually ditching him for a Beauxbatons boy. She joined the DA in her fifth year, and during one meeting, Parvati produced such a good Reductor Curse that she reduced a wooden table to dust. In her sixth year, Parvati was shown to be a little annoyed by Ron and Lavender’s relationship, but her friendship with Lavender did not suffer. She was pulled out of school briefly at the end of her sixth year, her parents thinking that it was unsafe for their daughters to continue going there but was forced to go back for her seventh year due to mandatory attendance for halfbloods and purebloods. She fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, casting a Full Body-Bind curse at death eater, Antonin Dolohov. She was most likely saddened by the injury and possible death of her best friend, Lavender Brown, who was attacked by Fenrir Greyback.

Sally-Anne Perks - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? Sally-Anne Perks was listed at the sorting, right before Harry but was not mentioned again. Her disappearence, specifically the fact that her name was not called during the O.W.L.s pratical examinations, is a mystery that has plagued the Harry Potter fandom for years.

Harry Potter - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Idk what this boy was up to, I think he was like semi-famous and killed some evil guy? More importantly, he was best friends with Ron Weasley, the legend, and the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger, + married that badass Quidditch player, Ginerva Weasley. Father to three amazing kids (James, Arthur & Lily) and has a teaching position at Hogwarts.

Oliver Rivers - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? Never mentioned in the books, not even at the sorting, Oliver River’s character is mostly known about from out of canon sources, specifically Pottermore. He is listed on J.K. Rowling’s Original Forty list, which is one of the top inspirations for this list. His house was never confirmed.

Zacharias Smith - HUFFLEPUFF

Don’t Recognize Them? Originally listed as Sally Smith, Zacharias Smith was a chaser for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and although he distrusted Harry, a member of the original Dumbledore’s Army. He was critical, quick to mock, and pretty much thought he was better than everyone - but was a cowardly little shit in the end, opting not to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. His annoying personality got him on the bad side of Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, and even Luna Lovegood.

Dean Thomas - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Hella good artist. Loved muggle football but supported Quidditch as well. Best friends with Seamus. Pretty good Chaser when it came to Quidditch. Huge supporter of Remus Lupin. Went to the Quidditch World Cup with Seamus and his mum. Supported Harry throughout the Triwizard Tournament. Unknown who he went to the Yule Ball with but I’m placing my money on Meghan Jones. Dated Ginny Weasley, and while he was upset when Ginny and Harry first began dating, he harboured no hate towards either of them, probably because he was in love with Seamus. Went on the run during the war because of his unknown blood status and was caught by snatchers and taken back to Malfoy Manor, where he found Luna and Mr Ollivander. Hugged Seamus when he got back to Hogwarts. Fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Probably more but I’m TIRED.

Lisa Turpin - RAVENCLAW

Don’t Recognize Them? She was one of the students sorted in Philosopher’s Stone and did not make further appearances.

Ron Weasley - GRYFFINDOR

Don’t Recognize Them? Okay, shut your trap, there is no way you don’t recognize the BEST character in the books. Ron “Harry Potter’s First Friend” Weasley. Ron “Chess Master” Weasley. Ron “Opens up his home to best friend” Weasley. Ron “Not only drove to his friend’s house because he was worried but drove AGAIN to get to school on time” Weasley. Ron “Relatable AF because fearing giant spiders is VALID” Weasley. Ron “I’m going to stand in between a known murderer and my best friend on my broken leg” Weasley. Ron “I’m going to let my friend practice stunning spells on me” Weasley. Ron “the person Harry would miss MOST” Weasley. Ron “I’m just gonna casually break Gamp’s Law” Weasley. Ron “Noticed the scars on Harry’s hand first” Weasley. Ron “One of the founders of a secret HIGHLY ILLEGAL organization” Weasley. Ron “We’re with you whatever happens” Weasley. Ron “Follows his best friend on a horcrux hunt” Weasley. Ron “Jumps into a frozen lake to save Harry” Weasley. Ron “I’m extremely famous” Weasley. Ron “THAT’S MY WIFE (Yes I’m basically saying he’s John Mulaney)” Weasley. Don’t tell me you don’t know Ron Weasley.

Blaise Zabini - SLYTHERIN

Don’t Recognize Them? Blaise Zabini was the son of a famous witch who had been widowed seven times and was quite vain. He was one of the view students who got an invite to the Slug Club, most likely because of his mother’s status. While he was one of the quieter antagonists of the books, he belittled Harry’s talent at potions, causing him to get on the bad side of Ginny Weasley. He had no familial connection to the Death Eaters and his role in the Battle of Hogwarts is unknown.
