Ginevra Weasley
Ginevra[3] Molly[12] "Ginny" Potter (née Weasley), born on 11 August, 1981, was a pure-blood witch, the youngest of Arthur and Molly Weasley's seven children, and the first female to be born into the Weasley line for several generations. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1992 to 1999 and was sorted into Gryffindor house. During her first year, she came under the influence of the memory of Tom Riddle's sixteen-year-old self, preserved in a diary, and was forced to re-open the Chamber of Secrets, endangering the lives of many students, including herself. Following that ordeal, Ginny grew into a confident young woman, becoming an important member of Dumbledore's Army, fighting in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1997, and the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998.

Sirius Black
"We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." Sirius Black III (1959[6] - 18 June, 1996), also known as Padfoot or Snuffles in his Animagus form, was a pure-blood wizard, the older son of Orion and Walburga Black, as well as the older brother of Regulus by slightly over a year. As Sirius' relationship with his relatives deteriorated, he gained lifelong friendship in James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Sirius was sent to Azkaban for twelve years, eventually becoming the only known person to escape the prison unassisted by transforming into his Animagus form of a massive black dog confused with a "Grim." He briefly appeared again through the Resurrection Stone for Harry, along with James, Lily and Remus in 1998.

Fred and George Weasley
"You haven't got a letter on yours. I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid — we know we're called Gred and Forge." —George Weasley to Harry on their Christmas Weasley jumpers[src] Fred Weasley and George Weasley were identical and mischievous twin wizards born on 1 April, 1978 to Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley (née Prewett).

The twins were famous for their pranking and mischief at the school. Fred: "He never managed to get all the words out, due to the fact that we forced him head-first into that Vanishing Cabinet on the first floor." Hermione: "But you’ll get into terrible trouble!" Fred: "Not until Montague reappears, and that could take weeks, I dunno where we sent him." — Fred Weasley on him and his twin George pushing Montague into the Vanishing Cabinet in 1996[src] Behind the scenes See also
