Chorley, Herbert
A Junior Minister to the British (Muggle) Prime Minister. Chorley had a bad reaction to a Death Eater's Imperius Curse and began impersonating a duck. He was subsequently hospitalized at St. Mungo's, where he attempted to strangle several Healers.

McGuffin, Jim
Weatherman on the evening news Vernon Dursley was watching on November 1, 1981

Miggs, Martin
Fictional character in a wizarding comic book that Ron was reading, The Adventures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle

Archie - Old wizard with a penchant for flowered nightgowns; Archie refused to wear trousers at the World Cup campground, saying that he liked "a healthy breeze around his privates"

Bagman, Otto
Got into trouble with the Muggle Artifacts Office because of an unusual lawnmower, but Arthur Weasley straightened things out for him. Out of gratitude, Otto's brother Ludo then arranged the Weasleys' tickets to the Quidditch World Cup

Beery, Herbert
Hogwarts professor of Herbology when Dumbledore was a young Transfiguration teacher (so in the first half of the 20th century). He directed the one and only Hogwarts Christmas pantomime, based on "The Fountain of Fair Fortune". It was a complete disaster. After leaving Hogwarts, he taught at the Wizarding Academy of the Dramatic Arts, but he never again produced a play based on that particular story

Bones, Edgar
Brother of Amelia Susan Bones, uncle of Susan Bones, and member of the Order of the Phoenix in the 1970s.

Carmichael, Eddie
Ravenclaw, 1990 - 1997 (OP31)
Earned nine "Outstanding" O.W.L.s the year before Harry, Ron, and Hermione took theirs. He assured Harry and Ron that the credit belonged solely to Baruffio's Brain Elixir, but Hermione confiscated it before the boys could buy any -- quite possibly saving them a trip to the hospital wing in the process, considering the general quality of brain stimulants circulating that year.

Cattermole, Alfred - Son of Reginald and Mary Cattermole

Corner, Michael
Ravenclaw, 1991 - 1998
Michael is a dark-haired boy who met Ginny Weasley at the Yule Ball and began dating her at the end of the 1994 - 1995 school year; through Ginny, Michael and his friends joined the DA (OP16). Michael sulked so much after Gryffindor defeated Ravenclaw in 1996 that Ginny dumped him, after which he took up with Cho Chang.

Delaney-Podmore, Sir Patrick
A bearded ghost; leader of the Headless Hunt. Delaney-Podmore wrote to Nick denying his request for membership in the Hunt. Sir Patrick and the Hunt arrived at Nick's 500th Deathday party on horseback, then interrupted Nick's speech by playing a game of Head Hockey. Nick bitterly refers to him as "Sir Properly Decapitated-Podmore."

Dingle, Harold
Hogwarts student, 1990s.
Tried to sell what he claimed was powdered dragon claw to other students as a study aid; Hermione confiscated and destroyed them because they were really dried Doxy droppings"
