Harry has black hair (although portrayed as dark brown in the films), Ron has red hair, and Hermione has brown hair (although portrayed as light brown in the films). Harry's different hair and eye colours in the films are due to keeping the natural colours of Daniel Radcliffe (the change of eye colour being due to Radcliffe having an allergic reaction to the green-coloured contacts he'd worn for early filming), while Hermione's hair in the fifth film was particularly close to being blonde as it was filmed soon after Emma Watson finished filming for a different film that needed her to dye her hair blonde for her role.

"But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them."
— How the trio became friends in their first year on Hallowe'en[src]

The Trio, sometimes known as the Golden Trio, was the popular name given to the gang of three best friends and former Gryffindor students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Trio was made up of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley. The trio was allied with the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's Army, and Albus Dumbledore in the Second Wizarding War. In their adult lives they helped revolutionise and reform the British Ministry of Magic. They each had a Chocolate Frog Card in their Honours.

Members

Harry Potter was one of the most famous wizards of modern time, also known as the 'Boy Who Lived'[7] and the 'Chosen One'.[8] He was known for being the cause of Voldemort's first downfall and was responsible for the Dark Lord's final defeat.[7][9] Harry was also the teacher and leader of Dumbledore's Army[5] and was the best in his year at Defence Against the Dark Arts.[10] After the Second Wizarding War he became an Auror and rose to the position of Head Auror at the age of 26. By the summer of 2020 Harry was promoted to the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.[6] He also married fellow D.A. member Ginny Weasley, whom he had three children with: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.

Ron Weasley assisted Harry and Hermione in the hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes[2] and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.[11] Ron was a member of Dumbledore's Army[5] and demonstrated a talent for Wizard's Chess.[12][13] After the Second Wizarding War he became an Auror, alongside Harry. Ron was an Auror for two years before retiring and joining his brother George at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.[6] He married fellow trio member Hermione Granger, whom he had two children with: Rose Granger-Weasley and Hugo Granger-Weasley.

Hermione Granger assisted Harry and Ron in the hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes[2] and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.[11] Hermione was the founder of Dumbledore's Army[14] and was top of her year while attending Hogwarts.[13][15][16] After graduating she went to work for the Ministry of Magic, working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She was responsible for advancing the rights of magical creatures and helped eradicate pro pure-blood laws. Hermione eventually became the Minister for Magic.[6]
