Class Lists by Year

I started out being incredibly strict, accepting only names from the listing of the original forty and those I found in the books. On being incredibly frustrated with the dearth of names, however, I reluctantly expanded that to accept some of the names from the video games as documented in what seems to me to be the main Harry Potter fan wiki. While I am sure there are more names in the wiki that, as of writing this, I have not yet come across, I have enough data to have noticed that there are far far too many families with only one child. I know there is some grounds to believe that pure-blood families have a bias towards having only one child, but they also want to preserve their names. Thus families with a girl should have a fairly strong tendency towards having at least two children, even a pure-blood biased towards having only one child would try a second time to get a male heir.

Given the wide range of apparent ethnicity in the names, I think that the game manufacturers gave in rather too strongly to a desire for inclusion and diversity, and rather too little consideration to what 1800s and 1900s Britain looked like. We must remember that the wizarding world tends to be around a century, if not more, behind.

There is some ambiguity about Hannah’s blood status. See my notes on the Abbott family.

Terry Boot appears to have attended his seventh year at Hogwarts despite the laws against first generation students doing so.¹ This means either my sources for him being a first generation student are wrong, or he was able to fake an ancestry for himself.

Mrs. Rowling’s original notes put Kevin Entwhistle in Ravenclaw², but there are too many Ravenclaws and too many boys for her seeming desire for symmetry. Given my argument about how students would be sorted, I think he mutated to a Hufflepuff girl. Based on the same logic, Rivers is almost certainly a pure-blood, but might be a half-blood.

The same argument suggests the ambiguity of the Weasley social class.

Lots of fanfiction uses an extra female character named Fay Dunbar as one of the girls in Harry’s year. This apparently comes from the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game.³ I see no indication in the wiki article that Mrs. Rowling had influence in naming the extra characters in the game versions. Unless I see otherwise, I’m going to assume that Fay and Sophie are the same person, and will probably go with Sophie as the name.
