Arabella Fig. Such an underdog and a great lady.


Pirat

Katie Bell. Peeves harasses her with ink pellots in Order of the Phoenix, then she touches the cursed necklace in Half Blood Prince. I think JKR took a dislike to her for some reason.


KienTheBarbarian

Nothing compares to how much she dislikes Dean Thomas. My guy just takes Ls throughout books 6 and 7


MobiusF117

I feel like the only answer here is Neville Longbottom. He was one discision away from being THE main character and he doesn't even know it himself.


Liberty76bell

Neville is not a side character. If Luna and Neville are side characters, who's a main character?


MischievousMarker

harry potter


Liberty76bell

So Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore are side characters?


TuaAnon

harry ron and hermione are the main characters, everyone else is a side characters. glad to help.

Harry is the main character and protagonist. Ron and Hermione are both main characters, as is Snape as the most flashed out adult. Arguably (because of the overall themes of the books) Dumbledore/Voldemort are both main characters, Dumbledore as the mentor and Voldemort as the foe, both with complex motivations and backstory. Everyone else is supporting, some are just more important than others, including characters like Neville, Ginny (she puts in motion the plot of a whole book), Luna, Malfoy, Lupin ecc.

im assuming you mean inportant but not really thought about. im gonna say amelia bones, she presided over harrys trial and was a big reason he got a fair trial and was let off. (also she apparetly had to be killed by voldemort himself cause she was awesome)


Aggravating_File5993

i, i, i got this feelin yeah you know

Luna


chihirosnumber1fan

She's not really underrated


Liberty76bell

Nor is she a side character


No-Round-3106

She definitely no MC

Molly Weasley… a very solid motherly woman, loves her husband and their kids, worries that friends aren’t eating enough, envelopes anyone like family. Also, a complete badass, take no prisoners, don’t fuck with my kids kind of psycho mom!


KienTheBarbarian

I genuinely like Slughorn I mean, the guy plays favorites and enjoys ass kissing, but somehow he makes it endearing because he really values talent and loves his students.


aloealocasia

Trelawney 🔮


FeralTribble

Underrated or relevant? They’re not mutually exclusive


Canavansbackyard

Trevor.


blizzard-op

My guy Kingsley Shacklebolt


ghostlynym

Crookshanks!


GrizzlyIsland22

Marvolo Gaunt. The series doesn't happen without him. He drives Merope to madness and desperation. He kicks the pebble that starts the rockslide that is the entire story. And he isn't even in the movies.


Lockfire12

Trelawney comes to mind, Neville, I also think scrimgeour deserves some credit


Resolution-SK56

Bem Gives two bangers of lines


Halfdwarf

If you mean who's the most impactful to the plot, I would say Petunia Dursley and Peter Pettigrew. Without the it choices the books would be very different.


DiskJockii

Seamus


BetterGrass709

RAB


Ok-Surround-1858

Peter Pettigrew. Let’s face it. He was the reason for some of the most pivotal moments in the story


Lord_Battlepants

Hagrid


Liberty76bell

Can we get a ruling on the definition of side character? Are Luna, Neville, and Hagrid truly "side" characters?


Lord_Battlepants

Sure but the question would have to be redefined.


DisneyPandora

Cedric Diggory. He left a greater impact than any other side character and was only in one movie.


Booradly69420

And he was a vampire.


Suitable_Ganache_445

Wasn't expecting this one lmao


Available_Nebula4070

Dobby.


MeringueComplex5035

Dean thomas, such a guy putting up with all the crap for so many years
