Tom Riddle (Voldemort) never truly had a "crush" in the emotional sense because he couldn't love, but he was desired by many, and he himself had a calculated interest in Lily Evans (Potter), seeing her power and potential, and later, he was infatuated with the power he could have over people like Hepzibah Smith and possibly even Bellatrix Lestrange, though his primary focus was always power, not affection.
Merope developed an obsessive love for Tom Riddle, a handsome and wealthy Muggle boy. After both her father and brother were imprisoned in Azkaban, she bewitched and married Tom, getting pregnant shortly afterward.
Half-Blood Prince
Merope was downtrodden by her abusive family, and she longed to escape and marry Tom Riddle, Senior, who unfortunately had a crush on Cecilia, another Muggle.
Moaning Myrtle: "You didn't used to care. You used to be in there all the time." During his education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry was nice to Myrtle, so she developed a crush on him.
Voldemort as Tom Riddle definitely dated a lot of girls during his time at Hogwarts. He even comments on the idea of it when he assumes Snape lusts for Lily Potter. Voldemort never understood love, but that didn't stop him from desiring women.
Now, the most well-known LGBTQ characters in 'Harry Potter' are Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, who were in a loving romantic relationship in their youth before Grindelwald's beliefs turned him dark. However, they aren't the only LGBTQ characters in the movies, books, and canon video games.
Emma admitted that she had a crush on Tom in the early years of filming, especially when they were very young. She said that, as a child, she would check if he was on set and was fascinated by his rebellious side. However, Tom always saw her as a little sister, and there was never a real love story between them.
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.
It was in Godric's Hollow in the summer of 1899 that Grindelwald met and befriended Albus Dumbledore. The two teenagers had a lot in common: they were intellectuals and talented young wizards, who were also idealistic and ambitious. The pair even became lovers during the two months that they knew one another.
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.
Cho Chang famously gave Harry Potter his first-ever kiss - but the actress who played her has one major regret about the momentous scene. "I wish I never cut my hair the way I did," Katie Leung told People on Friday at Universal Orlando's three-day Celebration of Harry Potter event.
Kendra Dumbledore
Kendra was the wife of Percival and mother to Albus, Aberforth and Ariana. Her life was forever changed by the attack on her young daughter which left Ariana unable to control her magic.
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.
Still in love with Dougal McGregor, Minerva turned him down. Elphinstone, however, had never ceased to love her, nor to propose every now and then, even though she continued to refuse him.
His reaction to Bella's death was akin to his reaction at the loss of the Cup, which was when he realised that his own immortality was jeopardised amidst war and his own death could have been near. This, to me, symbolises that after his own only Bellatrix's death had any impact on him.
So, remember that creepy Voldemort hug in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2? Yeah, it turns out it wasn't supposed to happen. Tom Felton, aka Draco Malfoy, was just as shocked as the rest of us when Ralph Fiennes (aka Voldemort) pulled him in for an unexpected embrace during filming.
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.
At the end of the last film, Grindelwald told Credence he was really Aurelius Dumbledore – the previously unheard of sibling of Albus. However, that wasn't entirely true. While Credence is a Dumbledore, he isn't the brother of Albus, Aberforth and Ariana. In fact, he's Aberforth's secret son!
Albus was not as close to his younger siblings as they were to each other. Although he loved Ariana, he was resentful when he had to take responsibility for her after their mother's death. This responsibility forced him to abandon his ambitious plans, causing a strain in their relationship.
While no official ADHD diagnoses exist in the books, fans often point to Fred & George Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Nymphadora Tonks as characters exhibiting traits of ADHD, like impulsivity, hyperfocus, restlessness, and disorganization, though some also see Hermione Granger as potentially neurodivergent due to intense focus and social challenges. These interpretations highlight common ADHD presentations like inattentive (Luna) or hyperactive/impulsive (Tonks, twins) types, showing how characters' behaviors resonate with real-world experiences of the disorder, notes the art of autism and UnlockingADHD.
Bill Weasley
Bill is a high achiever but apparently effortlessly. He's cool, with a cool technical job and hot babe. He seems to have a lot of respect from the other Weasleys and his interactions with Harry show intelligence, bravery and trust/strength of character.
Here's our list of all eight films, ranked from the worst to the best!
The most prominent actor known for refusing on-screen kisses is Neal McDonough, who has a strict personal and contractual rule against kissing any woman other than his wife, Ruvé, leading him to be temporarily shut out by Hollywood for several years despite his devout Catholic faith and commitment to his family. Other actors like Kevin Hart and Bollywood stars have also had no-kiss policies for various personal or comfort reasons, but McDonough's case is well-documented for its impact on his career.
Harry Potter had a few love interests during his time at Hogwarts. Though he eventually settled down with Ginny Weasley, he also had a thing for Cho Chang in his earlier school years. Then, of course, there's his secret love for Draco Malfoy…
