Lily Moon was a student who began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991, the same year as Harry Potter. What house she was sorted into is unclear, however, she was neither a Gryffindor[3] nor a Ravenclaw.[4]
Behind the scenes
- Only Lily's surname was revealed during the Sorting ceremony in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but on the student list shown on Harry Potter and Me, the first three letters of her first name could be made out as either "Lil-" or "Lib-". Her full first name was finally revealed by J. K. Rowling as supplementary content on the Pottermore website.[5] According to Rowling, this character was named before she settled on the name of Harry Potter's mother, and was the "first intimation of Luna Lovegood," giving her the idea for a "fey, dreamy girl."[5]
- During a practical examination, for their O.W.L.s, Lily was not called to take her test. She would usually appear after Draco Malfoy but before Theodore Nott. This could just be a mistake of J. K. Rowling's, or Lily may have been unable to attend her test.
Appearances

Notes and references
- ↑ Lily has to have been born during these dates, otherwise she would be too old, if born before, or too young, if born after, to be starting Hogwarts.
- ↑ World Exclusive Interview with J K Rowling
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Chapter 9 - The Half-bood Prince), All the Gryffindor students who were in alphabetical order after Hermione and before Harry were mentioned. Since Lily was not mentioned, she can't be in Gryffindor.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 J. K. Rowling's original list of forty students contains five males and five females from each house. As all five Ravenclaw females are known, the remaining females whose houses are unknown must be in one of the other three houses.
