Hogwarts First Years

[brimtoast.livejournal.com]

We've just been given (via the shiny new website) a list of everybody in Harry's class at Hogwarts. Let's discuss it! Here is the list copied out and cross-checked with the canon universe using HP Lexicon—canon characters in purple, new characters in blue, missing book characters in green.


Gryffindors: Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnegan, Neville Longbottom, Parvati Patil, Ron Weasley, and Katrina Bundy,.
Missing: Hermione Granger, Dean Thomas.


Hufflepuffs: Ernie Macmillan, Susan Bones, Zacharias Smith, Megan Jones, Wayne Hopkins, Bobby Stebbins, John Summers, Eloise Midgen, and Hannah Abbott.
Missing: Justin Finch-Fletchley.


Ravenclaws: Padma Patil, Morag MacDougal, Mandy Brocklehurst, Su Li, Michael Corner, Sarah Fawcett, Steven Capper, Belinda Dunstan, and Linus Moon. Missing: Terry Boot, Anthony Goldstein, Lisa Turpin, Stephen Cornfoot.


Slytherins: Millicent Bulstrode, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Daphne Greengrass, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Sally-Anne Perks, and of course Harry Marvolo.
Missing: Tracey Davis.



Am I missing anything? Where do you think the new names come from? Where do you think the missing characters are right now?

Edit: Turns out that there are no new students in Harry's year. All the ones that I hadn't found previously were mentioned in canon but not affiliated with a specific house, which is why I missed them the first time. (The fact that Bund vs. Bundy mattered made me go check again).

Edit 2: I'm putting known half-bloods in bold, just for the sake of keeping track and because I'm curious what the ratio of halfbloods to purebloods is in this group.

One effect of the AU is that the Gryffindors are more outnumbered than in canon (6 vs 9, 10 in other Houses) -- even with the addition of Miss Bundy.

Yeah, it is a pretty big difference. But it makes sense that if people are sorted by their personalities, the distribution wouldn't come out totally even, so I like that we have tiny group of Gryffindors for this year. I'm sure that it evens out somewhat across the seven years of students, and their common room is just as full as anyone else's.

Neville did mention that the Gryffindor boys are particularly close friends, and I'd bet that the smallness of their group contributes to that.
