Harry Potter: What Happened To Everyone Who Escaped Azkaban

5. Stan Shunpike

Sirius Black Azkaban
Warner Bros.

Stan Shunpike was the conductor on the Knight Bus and first made an appearance in The Prisoner of Azkaban. He then cropped up again in The Goblet of Fire when he tried to convince several Veela at the Quidditch World Cup that he was going to be Minister for Magic.

He was arrested in The Half-Blood Prince after he claimed to know about the Death Eaters’ plans whilst in a pub. He was arrested at once, and despite the fact he was obviously boasting for attention, he remained in Azkaban because the Ministry didn’t want to appear foolish.

Stan escaped during the summer breakout of 1997, and in the midst of his escape, he was placed under the Imperius Curse by an unknown Death Eater. As a result, he was forced to partake in the Battle of the Seven Potters and even went after Harry and Hagrid at one point.

Beyond this, not much is known about Stan’s work with the Death Eaters. Though it’s likely he went back to working on the Knight Bus once Voldemort had been defeated and the Imperius Curse had worn off.
