Finnigan is the surname of an Irish Muggle family, though they now have some magical blood, since one family member married a witch; their son Seamus is also a wizard.^[1]

• Seamus Finnigan: a Gryffindor student in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and member of Dumbledore's Army
• Mr. Finnigan: a Muggle who was shocked to learn that his wife was a witch shortly after their marriage; Seamus' father
• Mrs. Finnigan: a witch and Seamus' mother
• Fergus: Seamus' cousin. Fergus has to be Seamus's maternal cousin because he is a Wizard, like Seamus's mother.
