Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Characters

Dumbledore's father. He was imprisoned in Azkaban when Dumbledore was a child for brutally attacking two Muggle boys, something that most people attributed to shocking anti-Muggle beliefs. However, Aberforth later explains that Percival didn't actually just hate Muggles: the boys tormented and abused his young daughter Ariana.

Harry's large, cantankerous, and cruel uncle. He both loathes and fears magic and magical people, and he hates Harry especially. However, he does agree to go into hiding from Voldemort when Dudley insists that he's going. Vernon cannot bring himself to shake Harry's hand.

Fred and George's best friend and classmate. As an adult, Lee helps the resistance movement by hosting and producing the radio show Potterwatch, which seeks to provide serious news as well as humorous political commentary to resistance fighters.

A Death Eater whom Hermione, in disguise as Bellatrix Lestrange, runs into on her way to break into Gringotts. Travers is fooled by Hermione's acting, though Harry does place him under the Imperius Curse once they get into the bank.

A small and mousy witch whom Hermione impersonates using Polyjuice Potion when the trio infiltrate the Ministry. They know little about who Mafalda is, but her job is secretarial in nature.

One of Harry's fellow Gryffindor students who went into hiding in the Room of Requirement. A member of Dumbledore's Army, he stays to fight in the final battle.

One of Draco Malfoy's cronies. His seventh is presumably his best year at Hogwarts, as Voldemort's control of the school means that Goyle is able to draw on his cruel nature to torture other students.

One of Harry's fellow Gryffindor students who, because he's Muggle-born, spends his year on the run. He receives word of the coming battle at Hogwarts, however, and shows up to help Dumbledore's Army.

The Potionsmaster at Hogwarts. Though not an evil man, Slughorn is cowardly and considers not fighting in the final battle, though he does end up staying to fight.
