The Gryffindors In Harry Potter's Year, Ranked From Useless To Awesome
9. Seamus Finnigan
Strengths: Brave, easy-going, self-sacrificing. Weaknesses: Easily influenced, explosively terrible wand work. Post-Voldemort Life: Unknown. Every Potter fan hates the Ministry of Magic, especially after Book 5. The Ministry, amongst other things, made Harry out to be a liar. Fortunately,even if they doubted Harry at times, all of his close friends were suspicious of the Ministry. Except for one damn person. Seamus Finnigan was the holdout, because he chose to believe mommy instead of what was directly in front of his face. A latecomer to Dumbledores Army, he turned out to be loyal in the end, but since none of the other students gave up on Potter in his weakest moment, Seamus deserves a comparatively lower spot on the countdown. Incidentally, Seamus took Lavender to the Yule Ball, because of course he did. They surely deserve one another.
