List of minor Ravenclaw characters

The following are minor characters from the Harry Potter series in Ravenclaw House. The Ravenclaw characters Cho Chang, Marietta Edgecombe, and Luna Lovegood have their own articles.

Stewart Ackerley

Template:HP Character Stewart Ackerley is a student three years younger than Harry. He was the first to be called during the Sorting in the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Stewart was trembling from head to foot as he approached the Sorting Hat but was quickly welcomed to the Ravenclaw table with applause. When Harry saw Cho Chang cheer Stewart on, he had a strange desire to join the table too. Stewart has not been mentioned since and nothing else is known about his character.

Terry Boot

Template:HP Character Terry Boot is in Harry's year, and is friends with Michael Corner and Anthony Goldstein. He also became a member of Dumbledore's Army. Terry was rather impressed by Hermione Granger's ability to do the N.E.W.T.-level Protean Charm, and questioned why she had been sorted into Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw. Aboard the Hogwarts Express at the end of the school year, Terry is one of the students who assists Harry Potter when Draco Malfoy and his friends attempt to ambush him.

Terry was introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the first student in Harry's year to be sorted into Ravenclaw and seemed to be liked well because everyone clapped and several of them stood up and shook hands with him as he sat down. He was present at the Dueling Club with Lockhart in his second year and ended up with a bloody nose. At the initial meeting for Dumbledore's Army Terry reveals that he was in Dumbledore's office the previous year, and that a portrait had told him that Harry Potter had slain a Basilisk with the sword in the office. Harry Potter confirmed this as true, much to the group's amazement. He is mentioned but once in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when he inquires of Professor Slughorn why people don't drink the Felix Felicis potion all the time.

In one of the schoolbooks J. K. Rowling wrote for the Comic Relief charity, Terry's name can be seen as one of the students who previously checked out Quidditch Through the Ages from the Hogwarts Library. His name and blood lineage can also be seen in the J. K. Rowling interview special "Harry Potter and Me".

Mandy Brocklehurst

Template:HP Character Mandy Brocklehurst is in Harry's year. She was sorted into Ravenclaw in the first novel, but has not been mentioned since then. Nothing else is known about her. Her blood purity is shown in the interview special "Harry Potter and Me"

Eddie Carmichael

Template:HP Character Eddie Carmichael (born c. 1978) appears in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when he tries to hawk a bottle of Baruffio's Brain Elixir to Harry and Ron before their O.W.L.s. (Eddie swore the Elixir was solely responsible for the nine Outstanding O.W.L.s he had achieved the year prior.) However, the transaction was terminated by Hermione Granger, who, acting as prefect, confiscated the Elixir (which was actually Doxy droppings) and disposed of it in a toilet. Carmichael is a Ravenclaw one year ahead of Harry.

Penelope Clearwater

Template:HP Character Penelope "Penny" Clearwater makes her first appearance in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Harry and Ron run into her while sneaking around Hogwarts disguised as Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe. She is described as a black-haired Ravenclaw prefect, although she is not specifically identified until later in the book after she and Hermione Granger are Petrified by the monster roaming the school.

It is later implied that Penelope was wandering the halls the night Harry met her in order to meet with her secret boyfriend, Percy Weasley, a Gryffindor prefect. Percy had been shut up in his room all summer, much to the confusement of his siblings, writing to Penelope.

Penelope Clearwater was briefly seen in the second movie when Nearly Headless Nick greets her and Percy in a hallway, addressing her as "Miss Clearwater." Penelope was played by Gemma Padley for this scene.

Michael Corner

Template:HP Character Michael Corner is best known as Ginny Weasley's boyfriend, and is friends with Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein. Ginny met Michael at the Yule Ball and began dating him at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Note that he didn't actually appear in The Goblet of Fire and this information was explained only in the fifth book. Michael has dark hair and is in Ravenclaw. It is perhaps because of his relationship with Ginny that he joined Dumbledore's Army. He initially suspected Hermione Granger of only wanting to form the group so she would pass her Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. later that year.

Ron Weasley has questioned Michael's intelligence; however, he clearly spoke out of disapproval of Michael dating his sister, Ginny. When Michael was duelling Ginny during a D.A. meeting, he didn't hit her, though it is not clear whether he did this because he didn't know the spell or simply because he didn't want to curse his girlfriend. Ginny later referred to Michael as a fool, though not in his presence, when he almost drew unnecessary attention to the D.A. during Dolores Umbridge's reign of terror. However, he was intelligent enough to achieve a high score on his Potions O.W.L., is in the clever house of Ravenclaw, and was one of the few students in Harry's year to matriculate in Horace Slughorn's Advanced Potions class.

His blood purity is shown in the interview special "Harry Potter and Me".

When Dolores Umbridge knocked Harry off the Gryffindor Quidditch team, he was replaced by Ginny. After Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw in the final Quidditch match of the year, Michael wasn't pleased, so Ginny dumped him. Michael instead began dating the Seeker from his own team, Cho Chang. Ginny then shifted her romantic interest to Dean Thomas, much to her brother Ron's frustration.

For a minor character, Michael is notable for having dated the exact same two girls as Harry-- Ginny Weasley and Cho Chang.

Roger Davies

Template:HP Character Roger Davies is the captain, and a Chaser, for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. He had the envious fortune of going to the Yule Ball with Fleur Delacour, though he was too busy staring at her to enjoy the experience.

Roger asked his Seeker, Cho Chang, to go out with him the following year, but she turned him down in favour of Gryffindor's former Seeker, Harry Potter. Roger and his date ended up in the same tea shop as Harry and Cho. Cho tried to use Roger's offer to her to make Harry jealous.

Anthony Goldstein

Template:HP Character Anthony Goldstein is in Harry's year, and is friends with Michael Corner and Terry Boot. He was also a member of Dumbledore's Army. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Anthony, along with Padma Patil, became a prefect for Ravenclaw. He also is one of the D.A. mebers to assist harry on the train against Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle when they attemt to ambush Harry. His blood lineage is given in the J. K. Rowling interview special "Harry Potter and Me"

Padma Patil

Template:HP Character Padma Patil is the identical twin sister of Parvati Patil, one of Harry's classmates in Gryffindor. Padma, however, was sorted into Ravenclaw. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, she attended the Yule Ball with Ron Weasley at the urging of Parvati—Harry's date—when he begged her to find a date for Ron. Padma wasn't excited to have Ron as a partner since Ron wouldn't want to dance with her. Their classmate Dean Thomas marvels that Harry and Ron managed to go to the dance with the two best-looking girls in their year, a sentiment shared by Dean's friend Seamus Finnigan.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Padma became a prefect for Ravenclaw. She also joined Dumbledore's Army along with her sister Parvati.

Their names and appearance in the movies implies they are of Indian descent. Patil is a common surname in the state of Maharashtra, India. In Sanskrit Padma means a lotus symbolises divinity, purity, because of its nature and birth in dirty mud water.

Orla Quirke

Template:HP Character Orla Quirke is a student three years younger than Harry. She was Sorted into Ravenclaw in the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, between Graham Pritchard and Kevin Whitby. Nothing else is known about her and she hasn't been seen since.

Lisa Turpin

Template:HP Character Lisa Turpin is in Harry's year. She was sorted into Ravenclaw in the first novel, with her sorting (in the American version of the novel) coming between those of Harry's future roommates Dean Thomas and Ron Weasley. She has not been mentioned since then, and nothing more is known about her.

Others

The following characters are known only as members of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and by the position they play:

• Bradley (Chaser)
• Chambers (Chaser)

During a 2001 TV special called Harry Potter and Me, J.K. Rowling showed the camera an early notebook page listing some of the students in Harry's year. Each student's name was given, along with his/her gender, house, and "blood status." These notes are not considered canon, as many of the characters have undergone significant changes from the notes to the books. For instance, Michael Corner and Anthony Goldstein are listed as Hufflepuffs in the notebook, but when they are introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, both of them are Ravenclaws; indeed, Anthony Goldstein is one of the Ravenclaw prefects.

There are several students from Harry's year who are mentioned in the notebook, but have not yet been introduced in the actual books. They are listed below for the sake of completeness, but some of their names and houses may change if/when they appear in the series proper.

As these students, coupled with the students already mentioned in this article, make a total of 10 Ravenclaw students in Harry's year, it's generally considered to be the only complete collection of students.

• Stephen Cornfoot is a male Ravenclaw student. He is a pure-blooded wizard.
• Kevin Entwhistle is another male Ravenclaw student. He is muggle-born.
• Su Li is a female Ravenclaw student. She is a half-blood.
• Isabel MacDougal is listed as a second female Ravenclaw student; she is theorized to be an earlier version of Morag MacDougal, mentioned briefly at the Sorting in the first book. According to Rowling's notebook, she is pure-blooded.
