History

Pansy Parkinson is a girl in Harry's year, sorted into Slytherin House. Described as 'pug-faced' she appears in the books at the head of a gang of girls and is notable for her sarcastic and cutting remarks aimed cunningly at other characters.

Pansy first appears in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at the broom flying class. During it, she teases Parvati Patil who defended Neville Longbottom when Draco Malfoy throws away his Remembrall. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban she starts crying after Draco is attacked by the hippogriff Buckbeak, and is concerned enough to follow him to the hospital wing. Rowling establishes a firmer connection between Pansy and Draco when she accompanies him to the Yule Ball during the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. As well, on the train ride to Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco's head lay in Pansy's lap as she stroked his hair, wearing a smug expression. She also waited for him to take her hand just before leaving the Hogwarts Express.

Pansy often foils Hermione Granger, whom she often taunts. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Pansy is among the characters who feeds Rita Skeeter false information on Harry, Hermione and Hagrid. A year later, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, she crudely remarks to Dolores Umbridge that it is difficult to understand Hagrid when he speaks and that everyone hated his subject. In that book, she is appointed a Slytherin prefect along with Draco, and joins the Inquisitorial Squad. She used her power and influence as prefect to direct the Slytherin students in a choir to sing Weasley is our King in the Quidditch games. During the scene in which Dumbledore's Army members attempt to escape from the Room of Requirement, Pansy searches for female D.A. members in the girls' lavatory and grabs the list of names as evidence. Later in the book, Pansy and other Squad members are jinxed during a student rebellion after Fred and George Weasley's departure from Hogwarts.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince she only appears on the train ride to Hogwarts with Draco and a few other Slytherins.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows she urges Minerva McGonagall to give Harry to Voldemort during the Second Battle of Hogwarts. However, the other three houses rally, taking out their wands and McGonagall dismisses the Slytherin House first. Pansy is not mentioned again. It is possible that she is Draco's wife, mother of his son, Scorpius, in the epilogue, though no name or description is given.
