Harry Potter characters who are you
Rubeus Hagrid keeper of keys and graves
at Hogwarts before we begin still
waiting on your Hogwarts letter then be

Potter week from the 12th to the 18th in

the fantastic beasts your non muggle
heart desires such as mismo joe’s top 10
harry potter actors who were replaced in
the sequels when in doubt I find
retracing my steps to be a wise place to
begin and WatchMojo uk’s top 10
fantastic beasts in the Harry Potter
universe for this list we’re counting
down the strangest quirkiest and most
incomprehensible characters in the
Potter verse number 10 mr. Ollivander
one of the first Wizards Harry meets
when he goes to Diagon Alley is the
owner of the wand shop mr. Ollivander I
wondered when I’d be seeing you mr.
Potter
he’s full of cryptic sayings behaves in
a bit of a manic fashion and looks at
Harry way too closely then again
spending your day surrounded by wands
with no co-workers to talk to is
probably enough to make anyone a little
batty not to mention the fact that his
store probably only has business in the
lead-up to the new school year so this
guy likely has a lot of alone time he
great number nine
arabela fig when readers of the books
were first introduced to mrs. fig she
was just Harry strange neighbor who
liked to regale him with stories about
her many cats jump forward to the fifth
installment of the series however and we
find out that oddball Arabella fig is
far more than a quirky resident of
little whinging she’s actually a squib
who’s been charged with watching over
Harry while he’s with the Dursleys after
you know who diggity boy last year did
you expect him to let you go wandering
around hello good ball boy it’s over
you’re intelligent a squib is a person
who was born to at least one Wizarding
parent but possesses no magical
abilities themselves and often end up as
outcasts in the Wizarding World
perhaps that explains why mrs. fig seems
slightly off her rocker what did they
look like well one of them was very
large and the other rather skinny not
the boys the Dementors number eight
Hagrid he may be one of the most beloved
characters JK Rowling ever created but
he definitely has his eccentricities
should I said that I should not have
said that Hagrid is loyal caring and
will do anything for the people he loves
but he sometimes gets sidetracked by his
main hobby taking in the occasional
magical creature Oh bless him look II
know zis mummy
I know Norbit don’t get us wrong if they
were NIF fleurs boat rekkles ork nasals
it’d be a totally different story but
his proclivity for animals that air on
the big and dangerous side is what gets
him into trouble seriously who wants an
acromantula for a pet seriously
misunderstood creatures spiders are they
always I reckon and they unearth some
folk not to mention the princess number
seven nearly headless Nick doornail II
had this Nick by professor Nicholas if
you don’t mind to start with he’s a
ghost
but even as far as ghosts go his
character is a pretty strange one Sir
Nicholas Tim mimsy popping ttan cutter
known as nearly headless Nick is the
Gryffindor House ghost who bemoans the
fact that he was never properly beheaded
during his execution
like this in one chapter in the books
that doesn’t appear in the movies it
throws himself a deaf Day party that he
invites Harry Ron and Hermione to there
he tries to impress the members of the
headless Hunt that he’s worthy of
inclusion in their group an improperly
beheaded ghost still seeking the
approval of his peers how delightfully
odd number six Albus Dumbledore you seem
to be laboring under the delusion that
I’m going to what was the phrase come
quietly what I can tell you this I have
no intention of going to Azkaban he may
be headmaster of Hogwarts chief warlock
of the wizened gamut supreme Mugwump and
the most powerful wizard of his time
honey he’s still a total weirdo it could
be safe with a nice toffee he’ll wax
Albus Dumbledore is about as quirky as
they come and neither of the actors who
portrayed him in the films quite
captured the characters full range of
idiosyncrasies would be young to feel
loves keen sting whether it’s his love
of muggle sweets his hilarious
commentary on his students love lives or
his bad luck with Bertie Botts every
flavour beans
Dumbledore’s oddities are what make him
one of the series greatest characters
you may not like a minister but you can
deny the door style number 5 Moaning
the second ghost to make it on our list
this character is strange in a way
that’s entirely her own after being
killed during her school days by the
basilisk that calls the Chamber of
Secrets home she’s taken to haunting a
girl’s lavatory at Hogwarts I heard
somebody coming
who was it madam I don’t know
I was distraught when she first meets
Harry Ron and Hermione she takes a
liking to the boys and ends up meeting
Harry again two movies later startling
him in a spectacular way much like many
of the characters we’ve talked about
we’re guessing that loneliness is the
main cause of myrtles oddities number
four mad-eye moody it’s not kind to
speak ill of the dead but there’s no
denying that this character was pretty
peculiar even when you consider that our
first impression of him is tainted by
the fact that he was actually being
impersonated by a Dark Wizard using
Polyjuice potion the real mad-eye moody
ends up being pretty bizarre in his own
right he’s got a peg leg one magical eye
is missing part of his nose and has a
tendency to be suspicious of everything
that comes his way
usually with good reason cosy contact
later under age number 3 Dobby
from the moment Harry first encounters
this house elf in his room on privet
drive he knows something strange is
afoot Harry Potter no one could have
predicted just how much havoc Dobby
would wreak on Harry’s life all in the
name of keeping him safe
don’t be only watch Harry Potter to be
Sheikh you know he only has good
intentions once you understand his
motivations but that doesn’t stop him
from being totally outlandish most of
the time he doesn’t want to have more
than one day off a week and also has a
deep love for socks but God forbid they
actually match monsta has presented
Dobby with clothes Dobby is number two
professor Trelawney into the future in
their third year Harry Ron and Hermione
all add a new class to their course load
divination their teacher is professor
Trelawney a woman whose head seems
you have for him she loves to make
predictions about Harry’s imminent
demise and while most of her
premonitions seem to be completely
fabricated she does occasionally make a
prophecy that comes to fruition by the
time Umbridge tries to kick her out of
Hogwarts in the fifth movie we’ve come
to sympathize with her despite how
strangely she behaves actually I can
number one Luna Lovegood everyone this
is Luna nuff good one of the series
biggest fan favorite characters also
happens to be the most bizarre when we
first meet Luna Luna Lovegood she’s
reading a magazine upside down wearing
her radish earrings and talking about
Naugles I can see them too you’re just
as sane as I am her whimsy is what makes
her so lovable and the fact that she
couldn’t care less what other people
think makes her a great companion for
Harry
of course after meeting her father we
know exactly where she gets it from she
never takes things too seriously and
above all she’ll do anything for her
friends stay weird Luna we wouldn’t want
it any other way
unfortunately all my shoes have
mysteriously disappeared do you agree
