Characters Not Mentioned/Without Journals

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

So, because I am intrigued (and because I am trying to avoid housework) I thought it would be fun to make a list of canon characters that haven't been mentioned, and characters that have been mentioned but don't seem to be using journals, building off of what other fen, especially lapin_agile have noticed.


Students:
Justin Finch-Fletchley (not mentioned--Muggleborn)
Anthony Goldstein (not mentioned--Muggleborn?)
Parvati Patil (not mentioned, but Lucius makes reference to gov't business w/someone named Patil)
Padma Patil (same as Parvati)
Lavender Brown (not mentioned, but Lucius makes reference to a Mrs. Brown who might be her mum)
Cormac McLaggan (not mentioned)
Ernie MacMillan (I believe there was a brief reference to his family by Lucius)
Cho Chang (mentioned on Quidditch rosters)
Cedric Diggory (mentioned on Quidditch rosters)
Vincent Crabbe (mentioned by various Slytherins, including an unfortunate eybrow incident)
Gregory Goyle (mentioned by various Slytherins)
Oliver Wood (mentioned as the student who observed Quirrell)
Lee Jordan (mentioned briefly by McGonagall?)
Katie Bell (mentioned on Quidditch roster)
Angelina Johnson (not mentioned i don't think)
Dean Thomas (not mentioned--Muggleborn)
Seamus Finnegan (mentioned by Ron and Neville. Is it is known that he's a half-blood?)
Marcus Flint (mentioned on Quidditch rosters)
Zacharias Smith (mentioned by Harry, who still doesn't like him)
Daphne Greengrass (annoyed mentions by Slytherin girls)
Colin Creevey (Muggleborn--mentioned by Order members as being at their sanctuary)
Eloise Midgen (mentioned by Hannah)
Susan Bones (mentioned by Hannah)


Faculty/Staff:
SNAPE! (has not been mentioned by anyone, which is intriguing. alt_player has informed us that there will definitely be a Snape!)
Flitwick (not mentioned--Charms is taught by an OC)
Hagrid (almost mentioned by Sirius--apparently has S.'s motorbike)
Filch (Squib, so probably not working at Hogwarts anymore--mentioned by Sirius as having done so in the past)
Sprout (has been mentioned several times)
Trelawney (mentioned by Molly--is apparently in America with Dumbledore)
Carrows (mentioned but--fortunately--don't have journals)
Quirrell (has been sighted around the school behaving strangely, apparently taught Muggle Studies and was sacked for being too Muggle-friendly, according to Lucius
Slughorn (is teaching Potions and apparently well-liked by student; no journal though)
Lockhart (is teaching DADA which he didn't do until 2nd year in canon, mentioned by several students)
Sinistra (mentioned--students apparently enjoy staying up late for astronomy)
Vector (mentioned)
MacNair (a Death Eater in canon, here he is head of Gryffindor and teaches COMC)

Others:
Peter Pettigrew (has not been mentioned by anyone, as lapin_agile pointed out, although I believe Sirius made a veiled reference to a previous betrayal when discussing his doubts about Remus
Andromeda Tonks (mentioned by Sirius, as well as Narcissa and Bella. Current status unclear)
Ted Tonks (not mentioned, except maybe indirectly by Sirius)
Nymphadora Tonks (not mentioned, but there is a journal set up for her that hasn't been used yet)
Bill Weasley (mentioned as the creator of the Order Only journals)
Charlie Weasley (not mentioned)
Fleur Delacour (not mentioned, but it probably wouldn't make sense for her character to appear this early anyway)
Viktor Krum (see Fleur--and boy do I ever wonder how they'll handle his connection with Hermione in this game)
Rufus Scrimgeour (mentioned as head of MLE, Lucius dislikes his insistence on constitutional protections)
Delores Umbridge (appears to be Minister of Magic)
Amelia Bones (not mentioned)
Dursleys (not mentioned--but possibly alluded to by Harry when he mentions having met Muggles?)
Alastor Moody (not mentioned)
Mrs. Black and Kreacher (mentioned by Narcissa)
Rodolphus Lestrange (mentioned by Bella, who clearly bosses him)
Rabastan Lestrange (not mentioned)
Kingsley Shacklebolt (mentioned by Order members--is a clever but beleaguered agent)

Various canon aurors and death eaters (now respected government officials) have been mentioned.

In the JKR backstory Dean Thomas is half-blood, so I'm wondering if he'll come into play at all. Or if his father was still killed by Voldemort's people.

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

Oh, for some reason I was thinking he was Muggleborn--remembering footie posters on the wall I guess.

[borgin.livejournal.com]

He never met his real father, so he was raised by his mother (a muggle) and his step-father (also a muggle). There's some stuff on jkrowling.com ... I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Dean Thomas's Background (http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=2)

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That's quite nifty.

[brimtoast.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I would *love* to see what the Dursleys are up to. Dudley could be growing up into a very interesting person, over in whatever Muggle camp he's in. He seemed in the books like he had potential for awesomeness if he hadn't been so spoiled. I could see him growing up to lead, or at least participate in, some sort of Muggle resistance in a few years.

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

That would be interesting! I wonder if Harry knows he is a half-blood in this AU. I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Riddle kept the knowledge from him, but I would also not be surprised if he exposed Harry to Vernon and Petunia being awful as a way to turn him against Muggles.

[brimtoast.livejournal.com]

I don't think that Harry knows anything about his real parents. Based on this conversation (http://alt-sirius.livejournal.com/553.html?thread=553#t553) from the very beginning of the game, he didn't even recognize the name Potter when he heard it from the Sorting Hat.

I had forgotten that Dudley actually has a journal. I guess that means that he's still alive somewhere, and that eventually we may get to see what he's been doing.

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

A thought that just occurred to me--what if the chosen one in this universe ends up being Neville somehow?

[alt-player.livejournal.com]

Good heavens. Nobody's told me THAT.

Neville's player.

[longstrider.livejournal.com]

I've definitely thought about it. Don't think I've said anything before but definitely thought about it. Though the pathos of Harry if ends up having to turn against his 'father' and kill him/cause him to die, will be immense.

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

Either way it'll be a wild ride--although i can't imagine how they'll keep the game going that long if they're doing it in real time!

[alt_moderator]

This story has been brewing for 10 years - I'd say that we can keep it going for 7 more, don't you think? ;)

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

Well, given that a lot of y'all were involved in creating successful, long-running stories like NA and TWT/TIN, I have more faith in y'all's ability to pull it off than I would in the average Joe's.

On the Patils - I'd been wondering about them, but also realising that a lot of the reason you hear about them in the first couple of books is that they're sharing a room with Hermione. Which they obviously aren't right now.

On the other hand, Harry/Ron/etc. do seem to be talking to Sally-Anne and Pansy and such, so it's not apparent it's just a "girls are totally off the radar" thing for other characters.

One wonders what's happening at the other wizarding schools, too - and whether certain families may be sneding their kids to those schools (if they will accept half-bloods or Muggle-borns) rather than Hogwarts.

(I'm reminded of a friend who grew up in Nairobi while her father was working for the US gov. there, where she and her siblings were very deliberately sent to integrated schools (both in terms of race, but also of social class) rather than the generally non-integrated private schools most government kids went to.)

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

That's true that you hear about the Patils and Lavender Brown mainly because they're rooming with Hermione--but even in. this reality it seems like Ron and Neville would make reference to the Gryffindor girls. Maybe they just haven't come up yet.

Justin has a journal (alt_justin), so presumably we'll see him in play. He hasn't been mentioned, though, so perhaps he is in the sanctuary or in one of the camps rather than at school. Canonically, he is Muggleborn.)

[frozen-jelly.livejournal.com]

With a name like Finch-Fletchley, how could he not be! It will be interesting to see if his family wealth and connections (name down for Eton etc) will have meant that he made it to Hogwarts despite his being muggleborn or if he is at a camp or at Sanctuary.

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. I hadn't noticed that there was a journal for Justin--I agree that how he turns up could be very interesting indeed.

[lapin-agile.livejournal.com]

Thanks for making this list!

Here's a link (http://community.livejournal.com/alt_fen/2090.html?nc=7) to the alt_fen post where we gathered links for the references to teachers. (Just so that work doesn't have to be excavated again now!)

[queenbookwench.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'd forgotten that, thanks!

Peter (http://community.livejournal.com/hpalternity/7506.html?thread=40274#t40274) has now been mentioned explicitly, in a late comment on this thread. He's believed dead.
