10 Harry Potter Book Characters We Wish Were In The Movies

10. Ted And Andromeda Tonks

Nymphadora Tonks is one of Rowling’s most likeable creations. She’s bubbly, talented, humble, and always willing to help. Her personality works well in the movies, but her character isn’t as developed as it could be due to her parents’ absence.

Ted and Andromeda turn up at the start of The Deathly Hallows. Their home is a safe house for Harry and Hagrid when they escape from the Death Eaters after leaving Privet Drive. Just like their daughter, they both come across as kind and virtuous individuals.

What’s more, Andromeda’s backstory is fascinating. Her two sisters, Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, are key Voldemort supports, yet Andromeda chose to defy her family’s wishes and marry a muggle-born wizard. She was then ostracised for this decision.

Had Andromeda and her husband been included in the movie, it would have been great to hear a first-hand recollection of her troubled past.
