GOOD TO KNOW!

USEFUL TIP: When in need of information about the Harry Potter characters or items, google for site:hp-lexicon.org followed by pretty unique keywords. Example. The trick is to think of words or phrases that would appear on the same webpage.

I'm starting my own fanfiction but I need to get some character descriptions on a few minor characters such as Lavender Brown, Parvati and Padma Patil, Frank Longbottom, Katie Bell, and some others. If you have a general idea of what they look like and their family, that would be great. Thanks!

Other than that, I think it's up in the air with him. Parvati and Padma are mentioned a lot in GoF, which of course I don't have with me. They're Indian and are apparently very pretty if the GoF Yule Ball descriptions are anything to go by, and we know Parvati at least wears her hair in a long braid. Katie and Lavender are more up in the air. I don't think we've ever gotten a physical description of Lavender, although one can assume she's a very "girly" sort from the way she acts, and probably takes a lot of pains with her appearance. Katie is a Quidditch player and has been since Harry's first year, so she'd be athletic and might have pretty solid arms and shoulders since she's chucking the Quaffle all over the place. I don't think we ever get a description of her either. Hope that helped at least a little bit. And yay minor characters! I have a soft spot for the Patils. - Lisse

Hi! Call me Ri or Anna. :)

I really don't know what she'd look like, but that...

lavender colored skin (JK)

...is highly questionable, unless the poor girl had a horrible accident in Potions one day.

Call me Chandrika. :)	I see Lavender as a pretty, "petite" brunette too, weight and fashion conscious, and wearing a lot of make-up. Heh, I was wondering, do we ever learn if all the Marauders were in Gryffindor or not? Or was Sirius in Slytherin?

For some reason, I've always seen Lavander as blonde, but the rest of your description works for me.

They were all in Gryffindor. JKR confirms it in one of her interviews. I can't remember which, sorry.
