    free & taken canon characters

    Looking to apply for a canon character? You've come to the right place!

    We've compiled a nearly comprehensive list of the canon characters and grouped them into four sections: Major, Minor, Mentioned, and Canon-plus, and Professional Quidditch Players. The Canon-plus section includes any characters mentioned in interviews with J.K., video games, chocolate frog cards, etc. - essentially, anywhere other than the seven novels. The Quidditch section is currently being compiled and will be released in the coming weeks. Within most of these five sections, characters are sub-grouped by age (adult, student) or classified as "other" in the case of non-human characters. We have hyperlinked many unclaimed characters' names to a HP Wikia page with some information about them if you're having trouble deciding or remembering who a particular character is.

    Note: Any characters with Special Features (e.g. Rita Skeeter - Animagus) are automatically classified as Major canons. Some "beasts" will be classified higher due to their species, e.g. Bane could be considered Mentioned, but as a Centaur he is classified as Minor. Portraits, non-humans and ghosts as classified as "Other." Also, please note that certain canons are not available to be played, as Administration uses them for plot purposes.



    the application and claims rules are as follows:
    • There is no limit on how many canons you may play. When reviewing each application, we consider both the quality of the application and your writing history as a driver on the site.
    • Major canons require activity on the board for about two months, with a good standard of role-playing and reliability.
    • Minor canons may be applied for after one month of activity on the forum.
    • Mentioned canons and Canon-plus characters may be applied for at any time. However, if you want a mentioned canon for your first character, please apply below with a role-play sample from the desired character's perspective to be considered.
    • Canon characters will remain in pending status for six months after the application has been approved. During this time, you should finish the character sheet. If you feel you will need an extension, it is your responsibility to contact an admin before the six-month deadline expires to request an extension. If you do not do this, we will consider other players' applications for this canon after the six months have elapsed.
    • Extensions, if granted, last for an additional six months beyond the original approval date and are non-renewable. If you are unable to finish the canon sheet after that, you'll need to reapply for said canon.
    • If you fail to PM an admin after the original claim is up and someone else applies for the same canon, you can also re-apply, but there will be no guarantee that you will be approved for that same character again.
    • If you play a canon character and have not posted him/her IC (in character) in more than six months, s/he will be deemed "open for new applications" and another driver may apply for the canon. After one year of IC inactivity, your claim will be removed and the character will be archived. If you'd like to continue to play this character, you'll need to re-apply.
    • If you have applied for or currently have a Sorted canon character, your claim will be removed from the list if 1) another driver applies for the canon in question after six months (if no extension) of IC inactivity, or 2) after one year (regardless of whether an extension was granted) of IC inactivity.



    If you are an established member, you need only write a role-play sample when applying for Major or Minor canons. For characters that are Mentioned or Canon-plus, it is sufficient to reply to this thread with: "I would like to play ***." And please remember, just because you have been allowed to work on a sheet does not guarantee you are getting the character!



    A teal blue name denotes that a character has been claimed and a sheet is being worked on. The date listed indicates when the original application was approved, and a red asterisk * following that date indicates a six-month extension has been granted.
    • If there is NOT an asterisk, the canon will be open to new applications six months after the posted date.
    • If there IS an asterisk, the canon will be open to new applications one year after the posted date.
    • After one year, if the WIP sheet has not yet been submitted for Sorting, the claim will be removed. If you'd like to continue to be considered, you'll need to re-apply.
    A bold, colored name (linked to the character's profile) denotes that the character is currently taken and actively played.

    A gold name denotes a character who was played in the past, but has been inactive IC for at least six months, thus open for new applications.

    A purple name denotes a character claimed by the admin team for plot purposes.

    hello i'd like to apply for terry boot! i've talked with fosse and lianne about michael/tony things <333




    The night was mostly quiet, aside from the sounds of his footsteps.

    Terry had apparated down the street, rather than right in front of the house; he had purposefully given himself extra time, but was currently spending it with his sneakered feet pounding the pavement with impatient purpose as he marched to the front door. So that hadn?óÔé¼Ôäót been much use, he supposed.

    God, he was going to get shit for this, and honestly, it?óÔé¼Ôäód be completely deserved.

    He tucked his wand away distractedly, then adjusted his backpack straps as he walked. Ideally, he?óÔé¼Ôäód just slip right in without anyone asking any questions, but he knew that that fantasy was steeped entirely in insanity. He was supposed to have been away for two months, and was instead back after exactly seventeen days. Two and a half weeks. Oh, there would be questions. Questions and looks and ?óÔé¼ÔÇØ and he?óÔé¼Ôäód take it all and let it roll off of him, like he always did. Even imagining the most disapproving, smug versions of Michael and Anthony just made him feel sentimental, right at this moment.

    He made it to the front door and hesitated for the shortest moment, uncertainty slipping in suddenly, as if he?óÔé¼Ôäód only just realised how silly this all was and hadn?óÔé¼Ôäót been thinking about it from the moment he?óÔé¼Ôäód left the hostel. Get it together, Boot. He rapped his knuckles on the door a couple of times, overthinking how to make a knock sound more ?óÔé¼?£casual?óÔé¼Ôäó.

    Terry and his (now ex?óÔé¼ÔÇØ)girlfriend had made all kinds of promises in the last couple of months of ?óÔé¼?£term?óÔé¼Ôäó, if it could be called that. He?óÔé¼Ôäód already forgiven himself for that part in particular; things had been very intense in April, to put it lightly. Naturally, he?óÔé¼Ôäód spent most of May with his Mum, and she?óÔé¼Ôäód been supportive of his late-summer backpacking trip with his girlfriend. It had seemed like a grand idea at the time, some kind of ill-advised right of passage or a moment of relaxation after all of the bullshit, but he?óÔé¼Ôäód known as soon as he?óÔé¼Ôäód left that he wasn?óÔé¼Ôäót ready to go. It was completely and utterly his own fault for getting caught up, like he always did, and committing to far more than he was ready for.

    Poor Jenna, of course, had been rightfully pissed off. Who wouldn?óÔé¼Ôäót be, after basically being ditched in a foreign country by someone who was supposed to be in love with you? That part was a lot less forgivable than the initial making-promises part, and he felt (another) twist of guilt about it, but Terry was trying hard not to let it dominate his thoughts Right Now. He?óÔé¼Ôäód known he needed to be here, so here he was. He didn?óÔé¼Ôäót know if the others would understand, but they understood him better than anyone ?óÔé¼ÔÇØ Jenna and his Mum included ?óÔé¼ÔÇØ and that was all he could ask for.

    He shifted his weight from foot to foot, waiting (im)patiently for someone to open the door. After a million years (maybe twenty seconds), it happened. ?óÔé¼?ôHey,?óÔé¼?Ø he breathed, stilling. His expression, his smile, was initially sheepish and a little guilty, but even the guilt couldn?óÔé¼Ôäót hold out against the relief he felt seeing his friends, and he could feel his expression shifting and ?óÔé¼ÔÇØ Merlin he was being sappy, wasn't he? He was going to get so much (completely appropriate) shit, for this. But right now he just felt happy to see them.

    Hi, friends! After a long (lowkey several years tbh) consideration, IÔÇÖd like to apply for Ginny Weasley. IÔÇÖve spoken with Dylan and also with Ashton, and both have given the go-ahead.

    I do acknowledge that my IC activity has been a bit sluggish over the past few weeks thanks to my surgery clerkship, but that ends this Friday and the coming weeks will be substantially more flexible. Even so, IÔÇÖve managed to post all of my characters (except 2) within the past 2-3 months which, again, will only improve going forward. I miss having the major canons around and am looking forward to helping revive that movement! Thanks in advance for the consideration. <33






    Every single muscle in Ginnys body was protesting, each clamoring to be heard above the other. Muscles she didnt know she had quivered and trembled with fatigue; her sweat-soaked practice clothes had been double-bagged so as not to contaminate the rest of her gym bag. She and Wen had left the lockers together, and were about to Apparate back home (well, Wens home Ginnys temporary crash-pad) when the Welsh woman was flagged down by one of their teammates. Wen had waved Ginny on ahead, and so the redhead had gratefully taken her leave.

    Shed showered before leaving the pitch, of course, but what she wanted more than anything at the moment was a bath hot enough to turn her pink. It was July, but her body screamed for relief. Workouts had been brutal this week, no question, what with the World Cup less than a month away but something else was tying her muscles into knots.

    Producing the key her friend had given her, Ginny went straight to the bathroom, detouring only to dump her stuff on her makeshift bed without breaking stride. Closing the door firmly behind her, Ginny turned and leaned her full weight back against it for moment, closing her eyes and pressing the back of her head against its reassuring solidness. A long, low sigh left her lungs in a rush.

    Two weeks, three days.

    Her brown eyes opened again, and she crossed the room to draw the bath. Idly she watched the water level slowly rising, observing the turbulent churning as the water from the tap struck the water in the basin below; her thoughts tumbled similarly.

    She loved Harry ÔÇô she knew that in her soul. So why were they perpetually off-and-on?

    The answer was perhaps, objectively, simple: theyd grown up during a war. Nothing was promised; everything was transient. There was no knowing if or when something held constant in life would be stripped away. Gone, in an instant. She thought of Fred, of Sirius of Hedwig and Remus and Tonks. They had both lost people close to their hearts. Even now, over four years later, she felt their absences: no longer a sting, but a bone-deep ache. Some days weighed more heavily than others. Some days she could think of Fred with a smile; other days, only tears.

    Ginny shed her clothes gratefully, hardly even flinching as she stepped into the near-scalding depths despite her already-flushed skin.

    Perhaps that was why they kept ÔÇ£breaking upÔÇØ ÔÇô and why they kept coming back together. Every time they picked back up, whether it had been two days or two weeks, it felt like starting over. Her brain knew it already, but this was tangible reassurance: that he was still a constant in her life; that he was still there after all.

    But it was more than that, too.

    Ginny often lost herself in her work. It wasnÔÇÖt terribly difficult, really, because the redhead truly loved what she did. Quidditch was demanding, mentally and physically, and she was all-in. She had to be.
    She often lost herself ÔÇô but she always came back when the day was done.

    Harry didnÔÇÖt.
    Even when he didnÔÇÖt stay late at the office ÔÇô even when he was right next to her on the couch in the evenings ÔÇô he wasnÔÇÖt always there. It was like trying to see him through a fogged-up glass.
    For a long while after sheÔÇÖd first moved in with him two years ago, sheÔÇÖd not pressed the matter. Auror training was undoubtedly stressful, and many people still had quite a bit of personal recovery to accomplish in the aftermath of the War ÔÇô herself included. Who was she to judge how people coped? But as the months ticked by, it became more apparent. Every now and then, sheÔÇÖd catch a glimpse through a less-fogged-up part of the glass. And for a fleeting moment, she could see.
    He was wearing himself down, and it worried her. And ÔÇô no matter how many times she brought it up ÔÇô nothing seemed to make a difference. Maybe for a day or two; and then it was right back to where they started.

    The youngest Weasley tilted her head back, her mane of long red hair swirling around her, tickling her ribcage. The world went silent as her ears settled just below the water line. When she shifted the water lapped gently at her face; the comparatively cool air raised gooseflesh on her bare knees.

    Ginny Weasley didnÔÇÖt half-ass anything. She most certainly was not perfect, either; but wasnÔÇÖt as though she was simply leaving for the dramatic flair when they broke up. Much of the time, when they argued, they just talked in circles. Sometimes she felt so numb and so frustrated that she didnÔÇÖt know how else to make the statement.
    And so sheÔÇÖd leave, hoping to remind him as much as herself of the positive things they were missing out on when they were apart. Again, for a short while, it worked; but, as was becoming increasingly apparent, it was not sustainable. It was wearing on both of them. Something had to give: the arguments, or their relationship. And she would be damned if it was the latter. They had been through too much, both together and apart, for her to want the latter ever again.

    Two weeks and three days.

    It was the longest in recent history that theyÔÇÖd gone without speaking. The longest that Harry had let her stay away. What was that saying?
    Ginny Weasley rarely conceded. She stuck to her guns, come hell or high water. She was used to fighting tooth and nail for what and who she loved. But what if this time was different?

    She sat up abruptly in the bath, soaked hair plastered to her neck, rivulets of water making their way down her freckled arms and off her elbows as she drew her knees to her chest and hugged them. She shouldnÔÇÖt encroach on WenÔÇÖs hospitality any longer. But, more importantly, she couldnÔÇÖt let this emotional torment go on any longer. She didnÔÇÖt want it to.

    She was going back to Grimmauld Place, tonight. And this time, she would make the amends.

    Permission granted from Dylan to mention Morwen and Harry as above.

    Neville pulled his hands roughly through his bed swept hair. His fingers, in some attempt to ground himself, pressed into the flesh of his scalp. Right on time with the sound of birds singing their dawn song, his hazel eyes fluttered closed then open again to take in more of the familiar dewy countryside as it came to light. It was damp in the otherwise crisp winter air and warmer than it had been in the days leading up to Christmas. A sure threat of more snow to come, he thought to himself as he dug the toe of his house slipper into the sludge mixed with the gravel of the drive.
     
    The holidays had never been easy for Neville.

    Even in the happiest, most seemingly cheerful of times, he found himself reveling more in the morose. It was his mind's way of keeping him from getting his hopes up too high, he figured, keeping him from truly believing that things were capable of being good?óÔé¼ÔÇØ being really fucking good, even.

    Because, really, things had been good.

    It had taken a few years, but Augusta had started to acknowledge his career choice as something real, post-auror-debacle, though she only spoke it outwardly every now and again. Neville expected little more so he was always grateful. Even if her praise was in the form of a backhanded compliment about his prowess in the garden whilst struggling to fix her fireplace vent, as it had been the night before.

    Once she'd gone to bed he broke into the forgotten wine cabinet upstairs and polished off a bottle that he was still feeling the effect of in the new day.

    As the sun came up over the hill, Neville studied the houses dotted down the lane. They all looked the same from a distance. It was Christmas Day and he imagined that most kids had just succumbed to the urge to wake up their parents so that they could see what gifts were left for them under the tree. He knew little of that kind of memory but felt nostalgic for it all the same. Neville sighed, pulling himself together before struggling to his feet with his hand pressed into his temple to avoid the looming ache.

    He would make eggs and toast, and then he and his Grandmother would have morning tea. As far as Christmas traditions went, it could be worse, he thought.

    Hi!

    I'd like permission to use the Selwyn family line please :)

    I'm working on a Death Eater character where it will be an important part of his plot that he is heir to an old Pureblood line ("Sacred 28", previously wealthy and influential) that has fallen into disrepute and poverty.

    I believe the Selwyn family would be a suitable fit because Canon implies they were once a great family (though evidently not very significant in recent history) but is sufficiently vague enough for me to build an original background and plot without contradicting anything.

    My character will be mid to late 20's and his father would be the Death Eater known as Selwyn, although through his mother he would end up residing in Germany and attending Beauxbatons school and wouldn't return to the UK until his father recruited kidnapped him during the Second Wizarding War and had him join the Dark Lord's followers.?á He would escape persecution for his actions during the war by being able to provide evidence that he was forced by his father.?á However he would secretly harbour true loyalty to the cause, wanting to restore the Selwyn family wealth and influence which he would see as his birthright.?á Then he would have been lying low in the UK over the last few years, waiting for an opportunity he'd been promised by his father - hopefully slotting nicely into the developing DE plots.

    This is just a brief summary of my ideas :) hoping for permission to use Selwyn to help build this background

    Cheers!
