10 Harry Potter Book Characters We Wish Were In The Movies

2. Charlie Weasley

Charlie Weasley is technically in The Prisoner of Azkaban – he’s featured in a family photograph of the Weasleys in Egypt – but his appearance is so brief it doesn’t really count.

The second Weasley brother is a talented young man. He was the best Seeker Gryffindor ever had (at least until Harry came along), and he was brilliant with magical creatures. He struck up a close friendship with the Hogwarts gamekeeper, and his love of animals went far beyond the castle walls. He packed off to Romania after graduating and spent most of his time working with dragons.

After joining the others for an unforgettable experience at the Quidditch World Cup, he turns up with a large entourage of dragon keepers before the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament. Beyond that, his role is fairly minimal in the rest of the series. Still, removing one of the Weasley brothers was an unnecessarily harsh thing to do.
