A character who needs no introduction.

ANYONE CAN APPLY, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE. WHETHER YOU'RE MALE OR FEMALE, GIVE IT YOUR VERY BEST :)

PLEASE NOTE: Your natural speaking voice would suit best. This is NOT a requirement, simply a preference.

A fourteen-year-old wizard who attends Hogwarts. As a baby, the Dark Lord Voldemort tried to kill Harry but because Harry's mother Lily sacrificed herself, the curse backfired and almost entirely destroyed Voldemort instead. Because of this, Harry has been raised by his Muggle aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon. Harry is still a child at the beginning of the novel but as the novel progresses, he begins to understand that the Wizarding world is much larger than he gave it credit for. He learns that there are Wizarding schools around the world and, most importantly, discovers at the Quidditch World Cup just how terrifying Voldemort's reign of terror was. Harry isn't upset when, upon learning that the Triwizard Tournament will take place at Hogwarts, he also learns that students under the age of seventeen can't compete: because Harry is famous, he's excited to be able to take a backseat. However, someone puts Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire and Harry is chosen as a fourth champion. In the early days of the Tournament, Harry learns that he can't trust everything he reads when the journalist Rita Skeeter publishes sensationalist articles about him. Over the course of the three tasks, Harry dedicates himself to behaving kindly and empathetically to his fellow competitors, though he struggles to do so with Cedric when Cedric takes Cho, the girl Harry likes, to the Yule Ball. Much to Harry's surprise, he's tied with Cedric for the lead by the start of the third task and demonstrates his commitment to being kind and sharing his fame when he suggests that he and Cedric tie and share the glory. This, however, results in Cedric being murdered by Wormtail when both he and Harry are transported to a graveyard for the purpose of returning Voldemort to his body. Harry shows that he's learned the power of caring for others when he agrees to bring Cedric's body back to Hogwarts. Because of Rita Skeeter's smear campaign, Fudge doesn't believe Harry's story that Voldemort has returned. Harry gives his prize money to Fred and George to start their joke shop.

One of Harry's best friends at Hogwarts and the smartest witch in Harry's year. It's a nasty shock for Hermione when she discovers that there are around 100 house-elves at Hogwarts. This is most shocking for her because her favorite book, Hogwarts: A History, says nothing about their presence at Hogwarts, which begins to show Hermione that she can't trust everything she reads to tell the whole truth. She begins to protest on behalf of elves by starting the organization S.P.E.W., which seeks to liberate house-elves and guarantee them payment, time off, and representation at the Ministry. Hermione shapes her movement using the abuse of the house-elf Winky as her main argument, but she doesn’t ask any of the Hogwarts house-elves or Winky herself if they actually want freedom--and she refuses to listen when they tell her that they like life as it is. Throughout the Tournament, Hermione throws herself into helping Harry prepare by helping him master charms and curses that might be useful and doing research for him. She does, however, look down on copying in general and gives Ron and Harry grief for making up parts of their Divination homework. Though Hermione initially shows little interest in Viktor Krum, they eventually become romantically involved and Hermione attends the Yule Ball with him. Around the time of the ball, Ron and Harry notice that Hermione is beginning to grow up and is actually quite pretty: she allows Madam Pomfrey to shrink her teeth after Malfoy curses Hermione's teeth to grow without stopping, and she's so pretty as to be unrecognizable at the ball. Hermione takes great offense when Rita Skeeter continues to publish article after article spreading lies about Harry, outing Hagrid as being a half-giant, and suggesting that Hermione is toying with Harry and Krum's emotions. Hermione eventually discovers that Rita Skeeter is an unregistered Animagus who can turn into a beetle, captures Skeeter, and makes her promise to stop writing horrible articles about people.

Ron is Harry's best friend. Ron is the second youngest Weasley child and because of this, he struggles to define himself and stand out in his family, given that all of his older brothers are accomplished (even if, in the case of Fred and George, nobody takes their skill at manufacturing joke products seriously). This means that when Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, Ron is extremely jealous--Harry's fame and fortune make Ron feel even more inferior, and he feels as though Harry went behind his back to enter without giving Ron the chance to enter too. Though he ignores Harry until after the first task, Ron continues to stand up for Hermione, which earns him detention from Snape. In private, however, Ron and Hermione fight for most over the year over Hermione's organization S.P.E.W., which Ron thinks is ridiculous; he sees no real reason to free the house-elves if they don't want to be freed. After Ron reaffirms his friendship with Harry, he jumps wholeheartedly into trying to figure out who put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire, though his critical thinking skills aren't as well-developed as Harry’s or Hermione's. Especially as jealousy begins to get the better of Ron when Viktor Krum takes Hermione to the Yule Ball, Ron insists that Hermione is "fraternizing with the enemy" and that the point of the Tournament is to win, not make friends. The Yule Ball is especially painful for Ron because of his family's financial situation, as Mrs. Weasley bought Ron secondhand dress robes that are moldy and have lace trim. Ron spends most of the school year pining for Fleur, the gorgeous Beauxbatons champion who has veela ancestry. He also acts as a window into the Wizarding world and explains to Harry about why giants aren't trusted by the Wizarding community. Ron respects Dumbledore's request to not ask Harry questions about the third task until Harry is ready to talk about it, and he finally puts aside his jealousy of Krum by asking Krum for his autograph at the end of the school year.

LAST NOTE: I've always imagined Ron Weasley as  Irish. This is NOT a requirement, simply a preference.

PLEASE NOTE: This role also includes narration.

I've always imagined the story of Harry Potter being narrated by Neville Longbottom. Should you choose to apply for this role, you will also narrate the book. 

One of Harry's fourth-year Gryffindor classmates. Neville is kind, though he's generally considered to be a hopeless student: he's often the only one assigned extra homework, and Potions is his worst subject. This is because he's deathly afraid of Snape, the potions master. However, Neville is well aware of what he doesn't know. Harry is surprised when Neville raises his hand in Moody's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class about the Unforgivable Curses and names the Cruciatus Curse. Seeing Moody perform the Cruciatus Curse on a spider has an awful effect on Neville; he becomes anxious and unable to hold a conversation. Harry learns later that this is because Neville has personal experience with the Cruciatus Curse: after Voldemort's fall, Death Eaters tortured Neville's parents with the curse until they went insane. They now live in St. Mungo's Hospital and don't recognize Neville.

A pretty Ravenclaw student in the fifth year. Harry has a crush on her for most of the novel, though he only acts on it around Christmastime when he asks her to the Yule Ball. Cho, however, attends the ball with Cedric. While this is a hard blow for Harry, Cho is nice about turning Harry down and doesn't laugh at him for trying.

Ron's younger sister; she's a third-year in Gryffindor. She's had a crush on Harry since she first met him three years ago and blushes every time she sees him. She agrees to go to the Yule Ball with Neville so she has the chance to go (it's open to fourth years and higher, though younger students can attend if invited) and tries to stand up for Neville and Hermione when Ron and Harry make fun of them.

The potions master; he loathes Harry in particular and Gryffindor students in general. He's also the head of Slytherin House. Snape is especially cruel to Neville, his least favorite student, and spends much of the year threatening to poison Harry under the pretense of testing Harry's skill at brewing antidotes. Harry notices that Snape appears afraid of Moody and witnesses several instances throughout the year of Snape speaking with Karkaroff, sometimes on a first-name basis, about something growing clearer on his left arm. During Harry's trip into Dumbledore's Pensieve, he discovers that Snape was once a Death Eater and he later learns that Voldemort's Dark Mark is on Snape's left arm. However, Snape supposedly became a spy for Dumbledore, and Dumbledore makes it clear to Harry that he trusts Snape entirely. Harry struggles to believe this as Snape tries to accuse Harry on several occasions of putting his name in the Goblet of Fire and of breaking rules. Despite all of this, Snape does seem to be on Dumbledore's side when Voldemort returns and even shows Fudge his Dark Mark as proof that Voldemort has returned. When he learns that Sirius is allied with Dumbledore, Snape is livid but shakes hands with Sirius as Dumbledore requests.

Quite a kooky character, the headmaster of Hogwarts; an old and wizened wizard who, according to nearly everyone, is one of the most accomplished wizards of the age.
At the beginning and end of the Tournament, Dumbledore makes it clear that the main purpose of the event is to foster understanding and friendships among the different schools. He insists that this is the only way to combat Voldemort, who is successful because he makes people feel as though they can't trust each other.

Head of Gryffindor House and the Transfiguration teacher. McGonagall is a stern and often curt witch who demands excellence and good behavior from all of her students. Harry begins to see a more caring side to her during the three Triwizard tasks, as she makes sure to check in on Harry and see that he's okay. She trusts Dumbledore and Harry and because of this, she loses her temper several times: first when Karkaroff and Madame Maxime suggest that Dumbledore let Harry put his name in the Goblet of Fire, and then again when Cornelius Fudge refuses to believe Harry and Dumbledore that Voldemort has returned.

The gamekeeper at Hogwarts. Hagrid is a tall and wild-looking man who, despite his potentially terrifying appearance, is one of the kindest, gentlest, and most supportive people Harry knows. Hagrid adores scary and violent animals, which leads him to develop the Blast-Ended Skrewts, illegal hybrids that Hagrid thinks are charming but his Care of Magical Creatures students think are horrifying and dangerous. Hagrid also takes a liking to the headmistress of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxime, who's just as tall as Hagrid is.

Harry's archenemy at Hogwarts; a wealthy blond Slytherin student in the fourth year. Malfoy is a privileged boy who understands that, because of his father's wealth and prestige, he can in many cases get whatever he wants. He's a skilled and sneaky bully and bullies anyone he doesn't like, student or teacher alike. He finds an ally in the journalist Rita Skeeter, as she also takes it upon herself to bully people by writing sensationalist articles about them, and Malfoy gives a number of interviews discrediting Harry, Hagrid, and Hermione. Malfoy also shows at several points that he plans to follow his father, Lucius Malfoy, and support Voldemort: he threatens Hermione with violence on behalf of the Death Eaters the night of the Quidditch World Cup and, following Voldemort's return, he insists that Voldemort will win this time around.

Harry's Muggle uncle. He loves making Harry unhappy but because he hates having Harry around even more, he allows Harry to attend the Quidditch World Cup and leave his home early. He also lives in fear that Harry is going to tell Sirius that he's unhappy, as Harry shares that Sirius is an escaped convict but doesn't tell Vernon that Sirius is innocent. Vernon loses his temper when Mr. Weasley is late picking Harry up for the World Cup and destroys his living room, and when Dudley eats Fred's Ton-Tongue Toffee.

Harry's aunt. Though she's spent most of her life insisting that her son Dudley is big-boned and a gentle giant, this summer forces her to confront the truth: Dudley's school nurse insists that he needs to go on a diet to lose weight. To try to make Dudley feel better, Petunia insists that everyone in the house observe the diet as well. She's distraught when Dudley eats one of Fred's Ton-Tongue Toffees.

Harry's cousin. When his marks come from school, the nurse includes a note saying that Dudley is overweight and must lose weight so that he can fit into his uniform, which results in Petunia enforcing a strict diet for most of the summer. Though Dudley has always been mean to Harry and unpleasant in general, he becomes even unhappier and nastier in general without any food or sweets.

The villain of the novel, the Dark Lord Voldemort is a snakelike human obsessed with conquering death and creating a world in which pureblood wizards are the only people with power. He especially hates Muggles and his supporters torture Muggles for fun. Voldemort tried to kill Harry thirteen years ago but was destroyed when, thanks to Lily Potter's sacrifice, the curse rebounded on him. Though Harry spends most of the novel believing that Voldemort still doesn't have a body, the reader is aware from the beginning that Voldemort inhabits some sort of small body for the entirety of the novel.

Draco Malfoy's father. Mr. Malfoy is extremely powerful and well-respected in the Wizarding community and at the Ministry, though this is mostly because he donates money to a number of causes. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Weasleys know that Mr. Malfoy is untrustworthy, corrupt, and obsessed with status: he sneers at Hermione, who is Muggle-born, and insults the Weasleys about their economic status. Harry discovers upon Voldemort's return that his suspicions that Mr. Malfoy is a Death Eater were correct; Voldemort confirms that Mr. Malfoy led the group that tormented the Roberts family at the Quidditch World Cup, while Mr. Malfoy's presence in the graveyard indicates that he's still committed to Voldemort's cause.

Harry's godfather. Until a year before the start of the novel, Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit. Because Harry wasn't able to provide evidence of Sirius's innocence, Sirius is on the run and out of the country until news from home becomes concerning enough to make Sirius feel compelled to return. For his part, Sirius takes his responsibility as Harry's godfather seriously and even hides out around Hogsmeade starting in the months before the third task. After the third task, Dumbledore asks Sirius to reveal himself to Mrs. Weasley and to Snape so that they can begin to work together to fight Voldemort. Snape and Sirius knew each other and were enemies at school, but because both men are loyal to Dumbledore, they put aside their differences enough to shake hands.

A notorious journalist for the Daily Prophet. She's known for writing sensationalist news articles that do nothing but stir up trouble. Skeeter always wears robes in shocking colors and is usually accompanied by her photographer. Skeeter is extremely vindictive and, when Harry refuses to give her interviews, she attacks him and Hermione through her writing. She insinuates that Harry is mentally unstable and turns people against Hermione by suggesting that she's playing with Harry's emotions.

The first Hogwarts champion; a sixth-year student in Hufflepuff House. Harry and most of his fellow Gryffindors believe that Cedric is brainless, if handsome, and they don't believe that he's a truly worthy person to represent Hogwarts. 

Over the course of the Tournament, Harry goes back and forth on whether or not he likes Cedric and whether he finds him honorable or not. This is mostly because Cedric begins dating Cho Chang, a girl whom Harry also has a crush on. Harry and Cedric help each other throughout the Tournament and during the third task, they work together to protect each other from Krum, who performs the Cruciatus Curse on Cedric, and a giant spider who tries to kill both of them. Cedric attempts to let Harry take the Triwizard Cup and win the Tournament, but he has no problem agreeing to take the cup together and make it a win for Hogwarts. However, this brings about Cedric's untimely death: the Cup is a Portkey and because Wormtail and Voldemort don't need Cedric, Wormtail murders him. Cedric's ghost asks Harry to take his body back to Hogwarts. Later, at the final feast, Dumbledore insists that in order to properly honor Cedric's memory, every student must accept that Voldemort killed him for absolutely no reason.

The Seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch Team and, later, the Triwizard champion from the Wizarding school Durmstrang. Harry and Hermione's first introduction to Krum happens at the Quidditch World Cup, when Hermione notes that in the posters of him, Krum looks surly and unfriendly. Ron, however, idolizes Krum for his skill at flying and Harry comes to do the same. Though Krum is at home on a broomstick, he's awkward on the ground and in conversation with other people. He often stands alone and is generally unwilling to speak with the other champions. Ron's idolization of Krum starts to wane when he discovers at the Yule Ball that Krum and Hermione are romantically involved. He invites Hermione to visit him in Bulgaria over the summer and signs a piece of parchment for Ron.

The champion from Beauxbatons. She's a beautiful young woman whose beauty shocks many boys, including Ron. Harry later learns that this isn't the fault of the boys; her grandmother was a veela and the core of her wand is actually one of her grandmother's hairs. Though many young men admire her, Fleur never truly warms to Hogwarts. She complains about the weather, the food, and the subpar decorations throughout the year. Fleur spends the first half of the tournament looking down on Harry, but is extremely grateful to him when, during the second task, grindylow attacks make her unable to complete the task and rescue her sister Gabrielle. In all other cases, Fleur appears to be a perfectly competent young witch. She performs poorly in the third task only because Barty Crouch curses her, making it so she has no chance of winning. Harry notices that Fleur takes a liking to Ron's older brother Bill right before the third task and at the end of school, Fleur explains that she's coming to England to work and improve her English.

The headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy; a beautiful olive-skinned witch who's as tall as Hagrid. Though she denies it at first, Maxime is half giant. She keeps this a secret because, like Hagrid, she knows that having giant blood means that many people will fear her and believe that she's violent like true giants are. Madame Maxime is extremely upset when Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, as she believes that someone wants Hogwarts to have extra chances to win. This suggests that, at least when it comes to competitions like the Triwizard Tournament, she prioritizes winning over all else. Harry learns in the lead-up to the first task that Maxime isn't above cheating, as he understands that she's going to tell Fleur about the dragons. Hagrid develops feelings for Maxime as soon as she arrives at Hogwarts and courts her until the Yule Ball, when she insists she's not half-giant. After the third task, Hagrid insinuates that she's going to join him on a mission for Dumbledore.

A Hogwarts ghost; she was a student who died in a bathroom because she saw a basilisk while Tom Riddle (later Voldemort) was at school. She spends most of her time in the bathroom where she died, though she does imply to Harry that she spies on male students in the Prefects' bathroom. When Harry uses the Prefects' bathroom to prepare for the second task, Myrtle shares what Cedric did to figure out the egg and guides Harry in interpreting the egg's riddle, all the while being slightly pervy with him.

Because Barty Crouch uses Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Mad-Eye Moody for the entirety of the novel, it's unclear exactly how Moody-like the man Harry knows actually is--though Barty Crouch is able to fool Dumbledore, which suggests he did a reasonably good job. The fake Moody who teaches Harry is a surprisingly competent teacher and believes that the only way that students will be able to move forward in the world is by knowing as much as possible about what's out there. He teaches them about the Unforgivable Curses in particular and teaches them to throw off the Imperius Curse. Moody also tries to underhandedly help Harry win the Tournament by manipulating decent people into helping Harry and by leading Harry in the right direction. When Dumbledore discovers the fake Moody preparing to kill Harry after the third task, he discovers the real Moody locked in his own trunk. Madam Pomfrey tells Harry that Moody is going to be all right.

Mr. Crouch's son. As a young man Barty Crouch got involved with the Death Eaters. This tarnished his father's reputation, especially since Barty Crouch was allegedly involved in torturing Frank Longbottom and his wife with the Cruciatus Curse, attacks that Dumbledore tells Harry shocked the Wizarding world.

Throughout the story, he guides Harry so that he'll win the Tournament and only reveals himself after the third task. He tells Harry several times that what he hates most is Death Eaters who walked free, and under the influence of Veritaserum, he shares that what he truly wants is for those Death Eaters who went free to be punished by Voldemort. Fudge brings a dementor to administer the Dementor's Kiss to Barty Crouch, thereby making him a useless witness.

A Care of Magical Creatures professor who takes over Hagrid's class when he removes himself from teaching. She's curt and refuses to tell students where Hagrid is. However, her lessons are far more enjoyable than Hagrid's, especially for female students: she teaches the class about unicorns, which are most comfortable around women.

The Hogwarts Divination professor. She wears shawls and lots of jewelry that makes her look like an insect, and she works hard to make herself sound mysterious and all-knowing. Though Harry doesn't take most of Trelawney's predictions seriously (mostly because Trelawney predicts Harry's death on a weekly basis), he begins to suspect that there's more to her than he initially thought when her prediction from his last school year comes true: Voldemort returns after his servant, Wormtail, breaks free.

A wand-maker based in Diagon Alley... (get it? Diagonally:)

He attends and presides over the Weighing of the Wands ceremony for the Triwizard Tournament, in which he checks the Champions' wands to make sure they're in good working order. Though Ollivander deems all the wands in good condition and safe for use, he favors the wands he made himself (Harry’s and Cedric's) over wands made by others.

The oldest Weasley brother. He works for Gringotts Bank as a treasure hunter, which means he has a great deal of freedom in terms of how he dresses--he has a long ponytail and an earring with a fang on it, both of which bother Mrs. Weasley. He's also extremely kind to Harry and even accompanies his mother to take on the role of family members and watch Harry in the third task.

The Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Mr. Crouch is an uptight and exacting individual who's very caught up in his own importance.

Mr. Crouch sent his son to Azkaban and both his son and his wife died within the year. Harry notices that Mr. Crouch looks progressively sicker throughout the year and around Christmas, Mr. Crouch stops coming to work. A month before the third task, Mr. Crouch shows up on the Hogwarts grounds, seemingly mad but asking to speak to Dumbledore. He disappears before he has the opportunity. Later, Harry and Dumbledore discover that Barty Crouch and Mr. Crouch's wife swapped places using Polyjuice Potion and Mr. Crouch kept Barty at home under an Invisibility Cloak and the Imperius Curse. Though in all other cases Mr. Crouch seems to be a competent wizard, they learn that when Bertha Jorkins confronted him about this, Mr. Crouch didn't perform the Memory Charm properly and permanently damaged her memory. When Voldemort arrives on the Crouch doorstep, he places Mr. Crouch under the Imperius Curse--hence his absence from work--but eventually, Mr. Crouch begins fighting it. This is why Harry finds him on the Hogwarts grounds. Barty Crouch kills his father and, after transfiguring his body into a bone, buries him.

A small, rodent-like man who, in June of the last school year, came out of hiding as a rat and left to rejoin Voldemort. Though his real name is Peter Pettigrew, most people refer to him in the novel as Wormtail. He spends most of the novel caring for the disgusting humanoid body of Voldemort and, according to Voldemort, is responsible for giving him both the weak initial body and returning him to the body he had before his downfall thirteen years ago. In order to resurrect Voldemort, Wormtail cuts off his own hand and is later rewarded with a magical silver hand. Though Wormtail does go along with Voldemort, he suggests at several points that they proceed with Voldemort's plan without killing Harry.

Ron's father; a Ministry employee in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office. He loves Muggles and Muggle culture, especially the technology they use to replace magic, like electricity. A kind man, Mr. Weasley insists that Vernon say goodbye to Harry when he picks Harry up during the summer and is aghast when Fred and George trick Dudley into eating Ton-Tongue Toffees. He's also somewhat afraid of Mrs. Weasley and her temper, given that he seems to have never intended to tell her about this incident. For his part, he doesn't support Fred and George's dreams of opening a joke shop either, though he's not as vocal about his displeasure as his wife is. Mr. Weasley's interpretation of Rita Skeeter's post-Quidditch World Cup article suggests that he has well-developed critical thinking skills and knows how to critically evaluate the newspaper.

The Weasley twins, Ron's older brothers. As far as anyone else is concerned, Fred and George are middling students and don't take their education seriously--they did poorly on their O.W.L.s last year, which proves this to Mrs. Weasley. However, as they begin to develop joke wands and candies with the hope of starting a joke shop called Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Ron and Ginny are surprised at how good the twins actually are. Fred and George bet their entire savings on the outcome of the Quidditch World Cup with Ludo Bagman and spend most of the novel trying to make him follow through on the bet--he initially paid them back in leprechaun gold and later refused to even refund their money. Harry gives Fred and George his Triwizard Tournament winnings on the Hogwarts Express at the end of school so they can start their joke shop.

At the beginning of the novel, Winky is Mr. Crouch's house-elf. She takes her job seriously and lectures Harry on the proper way for a house-elf to behave--a house-elf, in her opinion, does as they're told and keeps their master's secrets. Because of this, she looks down on Dobby, a free elf who wants to be paid. Hours later, when Mr. Crouch fires Winky, it seems to Hermione that her firing was unjust and unprompted, but the reader later learns that for the last twelve years, Winky had been caring for Barty Crouch and was tasked with keeping him in the tent, which she failed to do. Later in the fall she and Dobby take jobs in the Hogwarts kitchens. Winky never adjusts to life outside the Crouch home. She neglects her clothes, remains loyal to the Crouch family, refuses payment, and continues to lecture Harry and Hermione about how house-elves should behave. Eventually she turns to butterbeer, which is extremely strong for a house-elf, and becomes an alcoholic.

A house-elf whom Harry freed two years ago. Dobby used to work for the Malfoys, who abused him. Dobby wants to work for pay, get time off, and wear clothes, all things that other house-elves believe are uncouth and improper. Though Dobby is happy when Dumbledore employs him at Hogwarts, he does recognize that he's an outlier and is instrumental in explaining to Harry and Hermione that Winky, another freed house-elf, isn't adjusting to freedom. Similarly, while he's something of a poster child for Hermione's organization S.P.E.W., Dobby doesn't want everything that Hermione thinks he should have (like a pension or a higher salary) and realizes that most house-elves are happy in their posts. He adores Harry, as Harry was the person who orchestrated Dobby's freedom, and to repay Harry's kindness he helps Harry with the second Triwizard Tournament task. Because Dobby loves socks, especially mismatched ones, Harry buys Dobby socks to thank him.

The Minister of Magic. He's a short and portly man who, at the beginning of the novel, Harry believes is a kindly if bumbling sort of man. He greets Harry warmly at the Quidditch World Cup and doesn't appear to bear any ill will towards the Weasleys, though he does think highly of the Malfoy family. However, after the third task, Harry learns that Fudge is obsessed with power and maintaining his position as Minister of Magic at all costs. Fudge refuses to believe Harry that Voldemort has returned and demonstrates how gullible he is when he doesn't deny that he came to this conclusion thanks to Rita Skeeter's articles. He also shows that he's prejudiced at several points throughout the novel, as when he suggests that Madame Maxime is to blame for attacking Viktor Krum (on account of Maxime being half-giant) and when he says that he doesn't trust Harry because Harry is a Parselmouth. Fudge makes it abundantly clear at the novel's close that what's most important to him is maintaining his own comfortable sense of reality and not allowing Dumbledore or Harry to disseminate the truth, as he promises to take control of Hogwarts and what Dumbledore teaches.

In need of versatile voice actors who can depict a wide variety of characters. And when I say, "wide variety", these include: 

Parvati Patil

A fourth-year Gryffindor student who attends the Yule Ball with Harry. She isn't kind to Hermione and seems personally offended that Hermione can make herself look pretty. Parvati is especially upset when Harry doesn't pay her much attention at the ball.

Lily Potter

Harry's mother. She died rather than let Voldemort kill Harry and Harry meets her when her shadow comes out of Voldemort's wand during the duel in the graveyard. Her sacrifice meant that Voldemort couldn't touch Harry, an obstacle that Voldemort sidesteps by using Harry's blood to resurrect himself.

Padma Patil

Parvati's twin sister in Ravenclaw. She accompanies Ron to the Yule Ball, though she doesn't decide that Ron is interesting or attractive until after Ron's moment of fame due to his participation in the second task.

Madam Pomfrey

The Hogwarts nurse. She takes great offense to the Triwizard Tournament out of concern for students' health, especially after the dementors last year.

Madam Rosmerta

The owner and bartender at the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.

Gabrielle

Fleur's little sister. Harry rescues her from the lake when Fleur doesn't arrive to save her herself.

Professor Sprout

The Herbology professor and the head of Hufflepuff.

Lavender Brown

Parvati Patil's friend, a fellow fourth-year Gryffindor.

The Fat Lady

The lady whose portrait guards Gryffindor Tower.

Angelina Johnson

A Hogwarts student in Gryffindor. She plays on the house quidditch team.

A student in Slytherin house.

Neville's grandmother

A tough, no-nonsense woman, who raised Neville after his parents were tortured into insanity by Death Eaters.

PLEASE NOTE: Should you apply for these roles, you'll be very VERY tired. So come on, give it a go! :)

In need of versatile voice actors who can depict a wide variety of characters. And when I say, "wide variety", these include: 

Lee Jordan

The Weasley twins' friend and business partner. Like Fred and George Lee is a jokester, and he participates in the twins' development of joke products. Fred and George later share with Harry that Lee's father has had dealings with Ludo Bagman that didn't end well.

Frank Longbottom

Neville's father. He used to be an Auror and after Voldemort's fall, he and his wife were tortured by Death Eaters for information on Voldemort's whereabouts. In the present he and his wife are insane and live in St. Mungo's hospital, where they don't recognize Neville.

James Potter

Harry's father. He died trying to protect Lily and Harry when Harry was a year old. Harry meets him when his shadow comes out of Voldemort's wand during the duel in the graveyard.

Charlie Weasley

One of Ron's oldest brothers. He works with dragons in Romania and is one of the dragon-tamers for the first task. Like Bill, Charlie has a sense of humor and doesn't take Percy seriously.

The Sorting Hat

The sentient hat that sorts new students into the four Hogwarts Houses. It writes a new song every year to sing to the school before it sorts students.

Filch

The Hogwarts caretaker. He and his cat, Mrs. Norris, love to catch students out of bed and punish them. His goal in life is to find some reason to convince Dumbledore to evict Peeves from the castle.

Professor Flitwick

The Charms professor. He's thrilled when Harry uses a charm from his curriculum, the Summoning Charm, during the first challenge of the Triwizard Tournament.

Professor Binns

The History of Magic professor at Hogwarts. He's a ghost and his lessons are exceedingly boring.

Remus Lupin

The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher last year. He sends Moody a letter detailing what material the students have covered already.

Nearly Headless Nick

The Gryffindor ghost. He often wears a ruff that keeps his head straight on his neck, as his beheading wasn't entirely successful.

Dennis Creevy

Colin Creevy's little brother. He's a first-year and, like Colin, admires Harry.

Seamus Finnigan

One of Harry and Ron's fellow fourth-year Gryffindor classmates.

Dean Thomas

One of Harry and Ron's fellow fourth-year Gryffindor classmates.

Colin Creevy

A small third-year boy in Gryffindor who admires Harry.

Crabbe

One of Malfoy's cronies.

Goyle

One of Malfoy's cronies.
