10 Vastly Underrated Harry Potter Characters

Listen. A lot of people really love "Harry Potter" and people really love to talk about Harry's great characteristics and Neville's glow-up. Yeah, these guys are great, but there are so many characters that don't get the appreciation that they deserve.

1. Bill Weasley

Bill Weasley is a GOD. He was a Prefect, Head Boy, and he worked for Gringotts. Not to mention, he's also a member of the Order of the Phoenix that risked his life on multiple occasions and helped out so much during the Second Wizarding War, offering Harry & company a place to stay and fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts.

2. Nymphadora Tonks

Tonks was always there when she was needed, from when she escorted Harry to Grimmauld Place to when she went to help fight the Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries. She sacrificed a lot to fight Voldemort and his army during the Battle of Hogwarts, and her death was one of the saddest ones of the series. Oh, and don't call her Nymphadora.

3. Luna Lovegood

Harry took Luna for granted as long as he knew her. No one (except maybe Ginny and Neville) really appreciated her and what she did for Dumbledore's Army and for the Order. She was willing to fight from the first moment we met her and her bravery had no end. Even after she got kidnapped by snatchers, she couldn't stay in hiding, she HAD to go back and help her friends.

4. Remus Lupin

Lupin was by far the best and most competent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that Hogwarts had while Harry was there, but he's so much more than that. He was willing to do so much to help and protect Harry and he was there for him after Sirius died. Even though Harry pretty much always ignored it, his advice was helpful and his lessons were what allowed Harry to emerge victorious over Voldemort.

5. Colin Creevey

Colin went through a lot in just his first year when he got paralyzed by the basilisk. Even after that he and his brother were willing to join Dumbledore's Army at the drop of a hat. He fought valiantly during the Battle of Hogwarts and deserves to be appreciated and remembered.

6. Mrs. Figg

Arabella Figg is oft forgotten when amazing Harry Potter characters are being discussed, but that doesn't make her any less important. Even though Harry didn't know it, she was always keeping an eye on him for Dumbledore and making sure he was sare. Plus, without Mrs. Figg as a witness during his trial, Harry might've been expelled from Hogwarts and sent to Azkaban.

7. Firenze

Firenze saved Harry's life during his very first year and remained helpful throughout his time at Hogwarts. In Harry's fifth year, he became the Divination professor at Dumbledore's request, despite the fact that this alienated him from his herd.

8. Aberforth Dumbledore

Dumbledore never mentioned his family to Harry, but they're still pretty rad. After Sirius died, Aberforth kept an eye on Harry through the mirror that he gave him. Aberforth also helped out the students still at Hogwarts while Harry, Ron, and Hermione collected Horcruxes. He was helpful when they came to him and fought with them during the Battle of Hogwarts.

9. Narcissa Malfoy

Even though her sister, husband, and son all became Death Eaters, she did not. She wasn't the greatest. She did have pure-blood ideologies, but given the family she grew up with and her agreeable personality, it's understandable (though it's no excuse). She was brave and defiant when it mattered, though. She slighted Voldemort twice to save protect Harry (and Draco), and that made all the difference for Harry and the Wizarding War in the end.

10. Rubeus Hagrid

Hagrid was Harry's first friend at Hogwarts and he was the one that really introduced Harry to the wizarding world. He was always there if they needed help or just wanted a cup of tea. He brought Harry to Dumbledore when his parents were killed and was willing to die for him in Deathly Hallows.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
