Harry himself is obviously a very popular character in these fanfictions. After all, the whole concept often revolves around him and his experience at the Yule Ball. Hermione is also quite popular as she could be Harry's date, or play an important role in helping him find a date.
There's also a possibility that it's a new character created specifically for this fanfiction. This new character could bring a fresh perspective and allow the author to explore different aspects of Harry's gentlemanly behavior at the Yule Ball.
Obviously, Harry and Katie are the main characters. Harry, who has faced Voldemort and many other challenges, is now in a different kind of situation at the Yule Ball. Katie, on the other hand, is a character that we can assume has her own personality traits. Maybe she's shy or outgoing, but in this fanfiction, she is the one sharing the Yule Ball experience with Harry. There might be other minor characters as well, but Harry and Katie are at the center of the story.
The main characters are clearly Harry and Padma. Harry, the famous Boy - Who - Lived, is known for his battles against Voldemort. Padma is a student at Hogwarts, a Ravenclaw, and she is paired with Harry for the Yule Ball.
The main characters are Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson. Harry is the well - known Gryffindor hero, known for his courage and his fight against Voldemort. Pansy, on the other hand, is a Slytherin, often seen as a bit of a bully in the original series. In the fanfiction, their personalities might be explored more deeply and their relationship during the Yule Ball is the central focus.
Well, clearly Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass are the main characters. Harry is the famous Gryffindor hero, known for his adventures against Voldemort. Daphne is a Slytherin girl, often depicted as intelligent and somewhat mysterious in these fanfictions.
In this fanfic, the Yule Ball setting provides a lot of opportunities for drama and humor. Ron and Harry could end up in some awkward situations, like accidentally spilling punch on someone. They might also have a heart - to - heart talk about their crushes during the ball, which could strengthen their friendship even more.
One interesting fanfiction could be where Harry takes a different approach to asking his date to the Yule Ball. Maybe he decides to ask a shy Hufflepuff girl in a very creative way, like leaving a trail of enchanted roses that lead to him holding a bouquet and a note asking her. It could add a whole new dynamic to the Yule Ball story.
Luna is often very well - written in these fanfictions. Her unique personality, with her dreamy nature and belief in all kinds of magical creatures, really shines through. Writers can explore her character more deeply during the Yule Ball setting, like showing how she might react to the more formal and traditional aspects of the ball while still being her true self.
This fanfic could explore the contrast between Ron and Harry at the Yule Ball. Ron is more of a food - loving, down - to - earth guy, while Harry has this whole 'chosen one' thing going on. Their date could be filled with Ron trying to impress Harry with his knowledge of wizarding food at the ball, and Harry just being happy to have a normal evening with his friend. They might also run into some of their classmates and have some funny exchanges.
Luna Lovegood would make an interesting main character. She could go to the ball with her unique style, wearing something really out - of - the - ordinary. And she might see things at the ball that others don't, like magical creatures that are attracted to the celebration. Neville Longbottom could also be a main character. He could be nervous about going to the ball, but then gain confidence as the night goes on, especially if he has a kind partner who encourages him.
