15 Harry Potter Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie

The Wizarding World is home to so many wonderful, special characters, that have all contributed to making the books and the films as ridiculously popular as they are. The magic, the school, and the ultimate battle between good and evil would be nothing without these characters.

However, too many of them have found themselves underused throughout the eight Harry Potter movies. Of course, the majority of the focus was always going to be on Harry, he is the chosen one, and his name is in the title after all, but he certainly couldn't have carried the franchise without a little help from his friends.

Some characters have amazing stories that simply haven't been told yet. They may have happened either before or after the events of the series, or the movies simply didn't have the time to explore such tales, but they absolutely need to in the future.

The Fantastic Beasts franchise is allowing the stories of Newt, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald to be told, but there is no reason the Wizarding World should stop here. There is a plethora of potential sequels, prequels, and even 'what if' movies that could and should be told in the future.

Hagrid is one of the most unique and popular characters in the entire Harry Potter saga, which is truly saying something. When the Keeper of the Keys took Harry under his enormous wing and walked him through Diagon Alley, he wasn't just introducing the boy who lived to the world of magic, but all of us as well.

Throughout the eight movies Hagrid served not only as comic relief, but as something of a mentor and friend to the golden trio, and offered a lot of genuine heart and emotion. His love of any and all magical creatures was heart warming, and his efforts with Madame Maxime were just adorable.

There surely isn't a fan of the wizarding world who wouldn't want to see more of Rubeus Hagrid, and there are a couple of ways this could be done. A look into the half-giant's past could delve deeper into his brief time at Hogwarts, his relationship with the other giants, and how on Earth a human/giant relationship is even possible. There could even be a cameo from Tom Riddle himself.

Alternatively, following Hagrid as a sequel to the Harry Potter saga, we could see what a rebuilding Hogwarts looked like after the devastating battle, and how Hagrid continued without having Harry, Ron, and Hermione dropping by his hut every couple of days.
