(6)Oliver Wood
I like Dean. And he does quite a bit -- he dates Ginny, he goes on the run with Ted Tonks and Dirk Cresswell. But he doesn't really stand out much. Of the five Gryffindor boys, he stands out the least. He's Seamus's best friend, but Seamus stands out a lot more. Wood on the other hand doesn't do a whole lot -- but stands out quite a bit. Big Quidditch fan. Plays Quidditch. If that were all he did, I'd give this to Dean though. But the fact that he comes back to fight in the battle of Hogwarts -- I really like that for some reason or another.
(3)Kingsley Shacklebolt
The only wizard to win the approval of Vernon Dursley. Let's face it, that's got to give him a bunch of cool points off the bat. Kingsley is pretty awesome, and he goes on to become Minister of Magic after the series was over. Some of my favorite parts with him were during Potter Watch, where he tells people to look after Muggles too. He seems a lot more competent than the other ministers, though we did get three of the worst. And his Patronus is a ****ing Lynx.
(7)Sybill Patricia Trelawney
The worst teacher at Hogwars period. She's a source of a lot of humor from McGonagall, and Dumbledore. You have to feel a little sorry for her when Umbridge fires her. Even if she is incompetent.
(2)Buckbeak
We never actually get to meet Bathilda Bagshot. We know little to nothing of her personality -- except that Lily thought that she wasn't all there -- seventeen years before she tells Rita Skeeter everything. We do meet Witherwings at least, and though he doesn't do much -- he is a hippogriff. And Hippogriffs are pretty cool even if you aren't Hagrid.

See You In Another Life, Brother.
