With so many sequels, Harry Potter is crowded with hundreds of characters – each one with a different personality and quirk. Even those who aren’t familiar with the series know of Voldemort and Ron Weasley. Still, there are so many figures who have been brushed under the carpet.
Here’s a list of those underrated characters who are beautifully constructed and definitely deserve more appreciation!
Aberforth Dumbledore
Warner Brothers: Aberforth Dumbledore
The savior of Hermione, Ron, and Harry during their hunt in The Deathly Hallows for the left-out Horcruxes. It was Aberforth Dumbledore who safely hid the trio inside the Hog’s Head, sneaked them into the school, and even intervened in the Battle of Hogwarts. Yet, his elder brother gets to be Rowling’s favorite.
Ginny Weasley
Tough but talented, smart, and funny at the same time. Who else can survive possession by a Horcrux, that too, at the age of eleven?
The movie didn’t pay much attention to Ginny, leaving her with a dry personality that led to fans overlooking her character. Tragic, tragic!
Fleur Delacour
The only female winner of the Tri-wizard Tournament is also the most fearless and faithful member of the Order of the Phoenix’s second generation. Fleur Delacour knows how to win the Weasley ladies’ heart, which is certainly not easy.
Other than that, it’s hard to forget someone who risked her life for Potter on his seventeenth birthday?
Sybill Trelawney
Taken as a joke among her students and colleagues, Sybill managed to deliver the Lost Prophecy and predicted Dumbledore’s death along with Voldemort’s return. You can call her a future spoiler, but she managed to drop jaws with that!
Narcissa Malfoy
All she cared for was the safety of her son, doesn’t that melt your heart? Daring enough to ask for Snape’s help to follow the Dark Lord’s trail because she thought that Draco might be in danger.
How was Harry able to bring Voldemort to his knees? Because Narcissa lied to him about Harry’s death, despite being related to the nose-less man.
Now, she wasn’t an error-free woman, but her affection for Draco did make her graceful.
Rubeus Hagrid
The underappreciated character of Rubeus Hagrid
Yes, a lot of people adore him already; he still isn’t given much credit – especially for the time when he cared for Potter during his days at school.
Only Sirius Black didn’t serve as the essential father figure for the leading character, Hagrid was first to shower him with love and selflessly protected Harry throughout.
We’re sure that the lost memories you made with these characters while reading the book just came back to you. Please, don’t forget to love and mention them in your fandom accounts now!
