Ginny Weasley wasn't the true Heir of Slytherin; she was possessed by a piece of Lord Voldemort's soul (Tom Riddle) hidden in his diary, who used her as a vessel to open the Chamber of Secrets and unleash the Basilisk, as he was the actual heir and a Parselmouth. The diary exploited Ginny's deepest secrets and fears, slowly taking control and compelling her to write messages on the walls and eventually release the monster, making her appear as the heir to everyone.
In 1943, Tom Riddle, the "Heir of Slytherin", opened the Chamber of Secrets to conduct a purge on Muggle-born students. This resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren, who eventually returned as a ghost. Riddle opened the Chamber again in 1993 through the use of one of his seven Horcruxes, his diary.
Riddle possessed her through the diary and she spoke parseltongue like Harry did to open it.
Ginny is the 7th child of a 7th child, Rowling said that this makes Ginny a very powerful witch.
When Ginny discovered the diary among her possessions, she began to use it, and slowly, the piece of Tom Riddle's soul inside began to exert an influence over the young girl.
The main LGBTQ+ character confirmed by J.K. Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials. While not canon, some fans also interpret other characters like Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, or even Harry Potter as queer, but Dumbledore and Grindelwald are the key confirmed figures.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.
So we know for a fact that Deathly Hallows ends in 1998, we also know that James Potter is born in 2004, which means when James is conceived Ginny is 23 years old, with Hermione being 26 years old when she conceives Rose as Rose is born at least a year after James and Hermione is almost 2 years older than Ginny.
Obviously Percy is a least favorite, but I also feel like he's such an important character for the plot of the story. His character shows how easy it is to get sucked into propaganda and do the wrong thing even when you've been raised properly, and how political discord can tear families apart.
After graduation, Snape decided to side with Voldemort because he was delusional and believed that he would impress Lily if he gained power as a Death Eater. He looked down on Muggleborns, but thought that Lily was the "exception" (or maybe not, since he called her a Mudblood), which he was completely wrong about.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
Hermione Granger became pregnant with her first child, Rose, after the Second Wizarding War, likely around 2005, and had her second child, Hugo, around 2007, both with Ron Weasley, after they settled down following the war, with Rose inheriting Ron's red hair and Hugo Hermione's brown hair.
Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
Harry is the heir of Gryffindor, although he had characteristics of both Slytherin (cleverness, resourcefulness, determination) and Gryffindor (bravery, honor, recklessness, chilvary). It is why Harry was able to claim the Sword of Gryffindor.
He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.
Considering that Pansy Parkinson was one of the Prefects selected for Slytherin and Snape was nominally in charge, I think it's safe to say that the Head Girl badge went to her.
Yes, author J.K. Rowling confirmed Albus Dumbledore is gay and had a deep, passionate relationship with Gellert Grindelwald, making them the primary confirmed LGBTQ+ characters in the Harry Potter universe, though their romance isn't explicit in the books but revealed in supplementary material, with many fans speculating on other characters like Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan.
Hufflepuff is often considered the worst house at Hogwarts because it hasn't contributed as much to magic as other houses, except for a few exceptions like Newt Scamander. Hufflepuffs are known for their hard work but it rarely leads to major magical discoveries.
What Rowling actually said was that Harry and Hermione are more compatible in some ways than Hermione and Ron, but not in others. She said he sort of regrets putting Hermione and Ron together but not that Harry should have ended up with Hermione.
Following the war, Charlie did not marry or have children, as he was more interested in studying dragons than in forming a romantic attachment. However, he had many nieces and nephews through all of his living siblings.
Harry named his daughter Lily Luna Potter as a tribute to both his mother (Lily) and his close, loyal friend Luna Lovegood, who supported him during difficult times, especially after loss, and was a kindred spirit who believed him when others didn't. The middle name "Luna" honors Luna Lovegood, but some fans also link it to Remus Lupin (whose nickname was "Moony"), as Luna means moon, though this connection isn't explicitly confirmed in canon.
After Ginny arrives home from a date with Hunter, she has sex with Marcus, losing her virginity. Georgia attends a board meeting held by the Mayor and blackmails Joe into giving organic food to the schools at a low price; this gets her a job at the mayor's office.
In both the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book and film, Hedwig dies during the Battle of the Seven Potters. In the book, Hedwig is hit by a random Avada Kedavra and instantly dies. In the movie, Hedwig is killed because she was trying to protect Harry.
I know it's intended to be Voldemort that is the scariest character, and it is for good reason, but if you think about it, Bellatrix is absolutely terrifying. I mean, look at what Voldemort's most famous for; killing Harry's parents.
The saddest scene in the Harry Potter series is the tragic death of Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks in the middle of the Battle of Hogwarts.
