A tall, thin, and very old man with long flowing silver hair, beard, and mustache long enough to tuck into his belt. His light, bright, and sparkling blue eyes shine with wisdom behind half-moon spectacles perched on his very long and crooked nose that appears to have been broken at least twice. He wears long robes under a purple cloak that sweeps the ground along with high-heeled buckled boots, his smiling face radiating kindness and power.

A slim eleven-year-old wizard boy with a distinctly pale and pointed face that lends him a sneering, aristocratic look carries himself with haughty posture. His fair skin flushes with a pink tinge rather than a full blush when provoked, and he is attired in the long black robes of a first-year Hogwarts student. Neatly groomed and exuding privilege, he perfectly matches the image of a pure-blood scion navigating the wizarding world with practiced disdain.

A fair-skinned, small and skinny eleven-year-old boy with a thin face, knobbly knees, and untidy jet-black hair that grows messy and sticks up at the back no matter how hard he tries to flatten it. Bright green eyes peer out from behind round glasses held together by tape, while a thin lightning bolt scar stands out livid on his forehead. He wears baggy old hand-me-down clothes that are far too big or else the long black robes of a Hogwarts student, appearing as an unassuming yet determined young wizard marked by his past.

A young girl with fair skin, lots of bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth who stands as an eleven-year-old first-year at Hogwarts. Her mobile face shows wide eyes in surprise, an open mouth with terror, trembling lips, dropped jaws, and tears streaming down her cheeks during moments of fear or emotion, while she shrinks against walls or sinks to the floor when frightened. She wears new Hogwarts robes during school activities and a pink bathrobe in the common room at night, presenting a neat if untamed appearance that fits her role as a studious young witch.

A tall witch with black hair pulled back into a tight bun has a severe and stern face featuring a long pointed nose and square glasses perched upon it.

A very short man hardly taller than Harry and Hermione stands cringing and wringing his hands with a shrunken build as though he was once plump but lost a lot of weight quickly. His thin colorless hair is unkempt with a large bald patch on top, his skin looks grubby and pasty with an ashen tone, and his face shines with beads of sweat. A pointed nose and very small watery eyes give him a rat-like look as he breathes fast and shallow, his eyes darting toward doors and windows, while he points using his middle finger due to the missing index finger on his right hand.

A pale early-thirties wizard with light brown hair flecked with gray that he pushes out of his eyes, revealing a tired and lined young face with dark shadows beneath them.

Dressed in hand-me-down Hogwarts robes cut short at the ankles to reveal his own sneakers, his mobile face readily reveals every emotion as it shifts from pale under stress to flushed pink or red to match his hair.

Hagrid is a giant of a man almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide with a vast muscular build and enormous hands the size of trash can lids. Long tangles of bushy black hair and a wild tangled beard hide most of his face revealing only his warm black eyes that glint like beetles under bushy eyebrows while his feet resemble baby dolphins in their huge leather boots. He wears a thick black moleskin overcoat stuffed with odd objects in its many pockets along with enormous boots and is often seen carrying a battered pink umbrella or large crossbow.

A tall boy of about sixteen with jet black hair stands much taller than average students, his form initially surrounded by a misty light and strangely blurred around the edges as a memory from the past.
