The Gryffindors In Harry Potter's Year, Ranked From Useless To Awesome

10. Lavender Brown

Strengths: Good-hearted, passionate. Weaknesses: Weak intellect, easily influenced, extremely annoying. Post-Voldemort Life: None. She died in the Battle of Hogwarts. Lavender Brown is an idiot, and that€™s being generous. Whenever she€™s mentioned in the book, she€™s either gossiping, or giggling, or gossiping and giggling. And whenever she€™s studying for school, she€™s spending most of her time on Divination (as taught by Trelawney), which is basically the equivalent of getting a degree in BS with a concentration in Nonsense. Is it any wonder that Fenrir Greyback ripped her to shreds at the end of Book 7? Bet her inner eye didn€™t see that coming.
