Finished: 1998 (aged 18), following a semi-voluntary year off to help Harry hunt down the Horcruxes that would ensure Harry’s defeat of Lord Voldemort.

House: Placed into Gryffindor, but it is revealed in ‘Order of the Phoenix’ that the Sorting Hat considered placing her in Ravenclaw (the house for the wise and cunning)
