  An underrated character who stands out to me never appears on page. The Smeltings school nurse who finally makes Petunia realize that her son is morbidly obese.

  The most underrated character is Dennis Creevy, Colin's younger brother. He snuck out to Hogsmeade and joined Dumbledore's Army in his SECOND YEAR. In his first year, he swam in the lake with the giant squid. He was fearless!

  The idea of Madam Hooch showing up in the Battle of Hogwarts and flying around fighting from the sky, might be my favorite takeaway from this entire video.

  While still a fairly well-known character, Madam Pomfrey is arguably the most underrated in the series. Her healing abilities are exceptional in a world where there are endless possibilities of terrible injuries, and Harry ends up in the hospital wing multiple times every year he's at Hogwarts. We almost take for granted how much she comes in clutch in the series.

  That whole bit about Justin, Zacharias and Ernie was brilliant. I didn’t think there were people who obsess over details like that, I’m glad to be proved wrong

  I do imagine Gideon and Fabian Prewett swelling with pride from beyond the grave when Molly drops Bellatrix.

  That thing about Madam Pince shows how little JKR knows about librarians.

  I think Hedwig is the most underrated character.<br>She is the only steadfast friend of Harry’s through out the series.<br>She brings him comfort, information and companionship.<br>She is also his only contact to the wizard world.<br>They had to make her quiet and unsociable at the end to soften the blow of her death. Which was extremely tragic in the way it was handled in the book.<br>The movie writers at least saw this and made her a heroine in coming to save him.<br>I thought she deserved a much better ending and she was technically the first to die in the Deathly Hollows.

  4 characters that I thought about:<br><br>Amelia Bones: Gave Harry a fair trial when the room was filled with people who wanted him convicted, especially Fudge and Umbridge. <br><br>Greyback: Interesting and one of the most memorable villains, however stands out since he was different goals compared to Voldemort. It&apos;s an interesting thought experiment what would happen to him and his movement if Voldemort won. Because Voldemort doesn&apos;t seem to think highly of werewolfves and we know what happens to those Voldemort look down on.<br><br>Bob Ogden: I had forgotten his name but I love his memory, it&apos;s rare that we get to follow a minor character this closely but it&apos;s a great chapter and he&apos;s a great character imo. If you have forgotten, he visits the Gaunts.<br><br>Firenze: Great character who makes us understand a whole other world.
