hogwarts - Are there any other male Gryffindors named in Harry's year, beyond the main five?


Based on the comments discussion below this answer, I'm wondering how many students there were in each year. There have been various speculations about how many people attended Hogwarts in total. But it would help to know whether there was only one dorm room per gender per year or whether there were multiple dorms for each year. We'd know for sure that there are multiple dorm rooms per year if there are any other Gryffindor males mentioned in Harry's year (they have to sleep somewhere...).


Obviously, there are the 'main' five boys who sleep in the allstar dormitory:




  • Harry Potter

  • Ron Weasley

  • Dean Thomas

  • Neville Longbottom

  • Seamus Finnigan


Are these the only boys who were sorted into Gryffindor as first-years in the year covered by Philosopher's Stone? Are there any other male Gryffindors mentioned at all in that year? I'd prefer named characters if possible but unnamed ones will also do. Arguments from silence are fine if there really aren't any.


Book answers only, please (or JKR interviews), not movie answers.


Update: I've stumbled upon this quote, which implies that there were unknown students (presumably, both male and female) who are unnamed but present around Hogwarts.




"It was murder," said Harry. He could feel himself shaking. He had hardly spoken to anyone about this, least of all thirty eagerly listening classmates.
(Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 12, Professor Umbridge).



As far as I can gather, Umbridge's first class is only for Gryffindors (no other houses are mentioned). That means that there were roughly 22 unnamed Gryffindors, some of whom have got to be boys.



Answer



No, it doesn't seem like it.


I've searched for all references to Gryffindor, and I was so far unable to find any other male named Gryffindors in Harry's year.


Neville, Seamus and Dean are collectively referred to as "the other second-year Gryffindor boys" when Harry is in his second year.



“The dormitory door flew open and in came the other second-year Gryffindor boys, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas and Neville Longbottom. ‘Unbelievable!’ beamed Seamus.”

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 5 (The Whomping Willow)



In addition, Harry refers to there being only five beds in the boys' dormitory of his year. This seems to be the only boys' dormitory for Harry's year, so this seems to imply that there were only five male students in his year.



“They reached their familiar, circular dormitory with its five four-poster beds and Harry, looking around, felt he was home at last.”
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 5 (The Dementor)



There's also a draft list written by JKR of students who she planned to have in Harry's year, and although some things have changed (like Dean's first name), even then there were never more than five male Gryffindor students planned for Harry's year.


This quote implies that there's only one dormitory for first year boys, as Percy was in charge of all the first years, and he leads the boys through a different door from the girls, which is the room with five beds.




“Percy directed the girls through one door to their dormitory and the boys through another. At the top of a spiral staircase – they were obviously in one of the towers – they found their beds at last: five four-posters hung with deep-red velvet curtains. Their trunks had already been brought up. Too tired to talk much, they pulled on their pyjamas and fell into bed.”
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 7 (The Sorting Hat)

There's also an article on Pottermore about this list, and while changes in the names, like Neville's and Hermione's last names, were discussed, there was no mention of any other Gryffindor boys being intended or planned, nor is there any other on the list.


There's also this quote, where the dormitory is relabeled to say "second-years", and is again shown to only have five beds.



“They hurried up it, right to the top, and at last reached the door of their old dormitory, which now had a sign on it saying ‘second-years’. They entered the familiar, circular room, with its five four-posters hung with red velvet and its high, narrow windows. Their trunks had been brought up for them and placed at the ends of their beds.
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 5 (The Whomping Willow)




In addition, after Harry and Seamus have a huge fight, both of them expressed a desire not to continue sharing a dormitory with each other. Despite their clear anger, neither of them actually attempts to ask a teacher for a transfer, and Seamus resigns himself angrily to his same bed instead. While not conclusive proof, this does imply that the reason behind them not asking for a transfer could be that they knew there was no other option.



“I’ll talk to you how I want,’ said Harry, his temper rising so fast he snatched his wand back from his bedside table. ‘If you’ve got a problem sharing a dormitory with me, go and ask McGonagall if you can be moved … stop your mummy worrying –”


...


“You know what?’ said Seamus heatedly, casting Harry a venomous look. ‘He’s right, I don’t want to share a dormitory with him any more, he’s mad.”


...


“Seamus looked for a few seconds as though detention would be a reasonable price to pay to say what was going through his mind; but with a noise of contempt he turned on his heel, vaulted into bed and pulled the hangings shut with such violence that they were ripped from the bed and fell in a dusty pile to the floor.”

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed....

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...
