Harry Potter Characters: The Main 7
There are over 200 characters in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. From the Dursleys to the Weasleys to Sirius Black and Dumbledore, there’s a character to fit every personality. But a few characters stand out amongst the rest—the main 7. These characters are at the front of the battle lines, doing everything they can to stop He Who Must Not Be Named. They band together to create an unstoppable friend group that will go to the ends of the earth for each other. Who are they? Take a look at their background and characteristics below:
- Harry Potter—the boy who lived. Orphaned as a baby by Voldemort, Harry’s destined to defeat the Dark Lord. Sorted into Gryffindor, he’s brave, courageous, and loyal.
- Hermione Granger—the brightest witch of her age. Born of Muggle parents, Hermione is new to the Wizarding World; however, she doesn’t act like it. Her intelligence, bravery, and loyalty put her in Gryffindor.
- Ron Weasley—the funniest friend. The middle child of 7, Ron is courageous, caring, and a bit moody. His passionate nature and strong demeanor put him in Gryffindor with the rest of his siblings.
- Ginny Weasley—the independent one. The 7th child of the Weasley clan, Ginny is surely a force to be reckoned with. She may be petite, but she’s stronger than she looks. Her lively, adventurous, and loyal personality puts her in Gryffindor with the rest of the Weasleys.
- Neville Longbottom—the shy one. Orphaned by Voldemort at a young age like Harry, Neville has had a sheltered upbringing. He’s naturally reserved, introverted, and forgetful. Even so, his courage and just virtues put him in Gryffindor.
- Luna Lovegood—the dreamer. Raised by her father, Luna is the peculiar one of the group. She’s open-minded, caring, and sweet-tempered. Her intelligence and highly perceptive nature make her a lead character in Ravenclaw.
- Draco Malfoy—the outsider. The only son of a family of Death Eaters, Draco has been raised to despise Harry Potter.

Sorted into Slytherin, Draco’s cunning, quick-witted, and intelligent.
