Revision as of 07:00, 23 July 2009

There were two unidentified girls in Gryffindor in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts, who presumably shared a dorm with Lavender Brown, Hermione Granger, and Parvati Patil. In 1993, they attended Professor Lupin's first Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which covered Boggarts. Their Boggarts took two of the following forms: a rat, a rattlesnake, and a bloody eyeball.[1]

Behind the scenes

  • J. K. Rowling has been asked about the unidentified Gryffindor girls in three interviews. She said their names were in her notebook, and promised twice to post them on her website, but has so far forgotten to do so.[2][3][4] The names may have already appeared partially on the class list shown on Harry Potter and Me.
  • In the Prisoner of Azkaban video game, there are two girls standing in Hermione Granger's dormitory, who may be intended to be the missing Gryffindor girls. The first has a pale complexion, tied-up black hair, and brown eyes; the second has short chestnut brown hair and green eyes.
  • It seems odd that these girls did not eventually join Dumbledore's Army as everybody else in Gryffindor and in that year did.

Appearances

Notes and references

  1. The existence of these girls is inferred from Lupin's lesson on Boggarts in Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 7. During the Gryffindor-only class, the Boggart took eight different forms, but only five were linked to specific students (Neville, Parvati, Seamus, Dean, and Ron). Harry and Hermione did not face the Boggart that day, but both their Boggart forms were revealed later. Therefore, with the Boggart forms of all five Gryffindor boys in Harry's year known, the three unidentified Boggarts must have belonged to girls. Presumably, one of those three girls was Lavender Brown, but the identities of the other two are unknown.

  5. As these two girls appear inside the Gryffindor girls dormitory in which Hermione Granger wakes from, and neither of them are Lavender Brown or Parvati Patil it should be confirmed these two girls are supposed to be them.
