Marauders

Silvanus Kettleburn – Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid's predecessor in this position. He is known for his boundless love of dangerous creatures, which led to the loss of several limbs by the end of his career. Cuthbert Binns – History of Magic. The only ghost teacher. It's believed he fell asleep by the fireplace in the staffroom, died, but simply got up and went to class, leaving his body behind. This happened long before the 1970s, so his lectures were already legendarily boring. Argus Filch, the Caretaker, joined Hogwarts around the late 1960s or early 1970s. His conflict with the students (especially the Marauders, who were constantly breaking the rules) began around then. Rubeus Hagrid, Gamekeeper and Keeper of Keys. By this time, he had long been living in his hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. It was he, on Dumbledore's orders, who planted the Whomping Willow in 1971 to conceal a secret passage for Remus Lupin. Filius Flitwick - Charms / Head of Ravenclaw. A distinguished dueling master who taught practical magic to students. Pomona Sprout - Herbology / Head of Hufflepuff House. She was in charge of the Hogwarts greenhouses. Horace Slughorn – Potions Master/Head of Slytherin. During the 1970s, he actively recruited talented students for his famous "Slug Club" (including Lily Evans and Severus Snape). The headmaster of the school throughout this decade was Albus Dumbledore. Minerva McGonagall - Transfiguration Deputy Headmistress and Head of Gryffindor House. By the 1970s, she was already one of the school's most respected and strict professors, and also secretly assisted the Order of the Phoenix.

Molly Pruett was a Gryffindor in the 1970s and came from the ancient pureblood family of Pruett, part of the "Sacred Twenty-Eight" but free of blood purity prejudices. During her school years, Molly was an attractive, slender, and petite girl with a full head of bright red hair, kind yet penetrating brown eyes, and a very expressive facial expression. Her greatest friend, protector, and the love of her life at Hogwarts was Arthur Weasley, with whom she regularly broke the rules to date. Her social circle also included her beloved brothers Gideon and Fabian, fellow Gryffindors with whom she jokingly brewed Amortentia, and her much-respected Professor Albus Dumbledore.

Arthur Weasley was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts. During his school years, he developed into an honest, exceptionally kind, and peace-loving young man, despite his family's modest means and being considered "blood traitors" by pureblood snobs for their lack of arrogance. Even then, Arthur developed his famous interest in Muggles and their inventions, which is likely why Muggle Studies was his favorite subject. He wasn't a rebel or an excellent student, but he sometimes broke the rules for dates: it was at Hogwarts that his great love for Molly Pruett began. One night, they were caught by caretaker Apollyon Pringle, and Arthur suffered a severe punishment that left him with lifelong scars. Young Arthur Weasley was remembered by teachers and fellow students as a slightly eccentric, yet loyal to his ideals and incredibly reliable guy.

Dorcas Meadows (1970s era) is a bright, independent, and sharp-tongued student, a character meticulously recreated by the Marauders-era fandom, as her youth is not depicted in canon. Physically, she is most often portrayed as a charismatic dark-skinned girl with voluminous curly hair and a piercing gaze, who enjoys subtly breaking the school's strict dress code with stylish details. In terms of ancestry, fans most often see her as a pureblood or half-blood witch, whose progressive views lead her to either be a Gryffindor or a "rebel" in Slytherin. Within the walls of Hogwarts, her closest social circle and best friends are Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon, and Mary McDonald, as well as the Marauders themselves (James, Sirius, Remus), with whom she shares common ideals.

Bellatrix (senior): A stately brunette with a heavy, commanding gaze. As the model heir to the Black family, she moved in the circles of the radical pureblood elite (her friends included her future husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, and Lucius Malfoy). She considered all Muggle-borns and "blood traitors" her enemies, and even at school she displayed cruelty and fanaticism. Andromeda (Middle): Very similar in appearance to Bella, but with softer brown hair and a kinder gaze. She was burdened by family dogma and secretly befriended students from different houses. Her biggest school secret (and the enemy of her radical family) was her affair with the Muggle-born Hufflepuff Ted Tonks, for whom she ultimately renounced her family. Narcissa (younger): A graceful platinum blonde with cool blue eyes and a haughty demeanor, Narcissa avoided open conflict, embracing the status of "cold queen." Her school triumph was a model romance with the brilliant Head Boy Lucius Malfoy. Her friends were girls from the "Sacred 28" families, and her enemies were anyone she considered uncouth, poor, or disruptive to school rules (especially Gryffindors).

Evan and Pandora Rosier are iconic, opposite-minded twins whose school days embody the aesthetic of Ice and Fire. As heirs to the ancient and fanatical pureblood Rosier family (cousins ​​of the Black sisters), they choose radically different paths in the corridors of Hogwarts. Evan is a true Slytherin, a charismatic, arrogant, and dangerous aristocrat with chiseled features, dark curls, and a cold gaze. He smokes on the Astronomy Tower, plays Quidditch brilliantly, and leads the school's intrigues. His circle consists of the future Dark Lord's elite: his best friend and canonical "soulmate" Barty Crouch Jr., as well as Regulus Black and Severus Snape. Evan's main enemies are the Marauders (especially Sirius Black and James Potter), whose encounters always end in brutal wand duels. Pandora is the family's black sheep, an eccentric Ravenclaw student with the ethereal appearance of a wood nymph, silver-platinum hair, and a distant, storm-eyed gaze. She wears her uniform askew, wears feathers in her hair, and secretly rewrites the laws of magic in the Room of Requirement. Her school crush and chief ally is the eccentric Xenophilius Lovegood, with whom they search for nonexistent creatures, though Pandora also maintains a warm friendship with Lily Evans and Regulus Black, ignoring blood prejudices. She has no open enemies among the students, but her main adversaries are the rigid constraints of her pureblood family and the ridicule of her peers.

Barty Crouch Jr. was a brilliant wizard from an ancient pureblood family (one of the "Sacred Twenty-Eight"), whose impeccable school façade concealed a profound personal tragedy. During his Hogwarts years (late 1970s – early 1980s), he grew up in the shadow of his domineering father, the influential official Bartemius Crouch Sr., who demanded only perfection from his son and showed him no paternal warmth, while his loving but weak-willed mother was unable to protect the boy from this pressure. The strained family dynamics turned his father into Barty's primary internal enemy, while his external enemies, as a blood purist, were Muggles and Muggle-born wizards. Due to his introverted nature, preoccupation with studies, and reputation as a "daddy's boy," Crouch Jr. had no close friends at school, although he likely interacted pragmatically with future Death Eaters in his senior years. His interests were entirely academic: he possessed exceptional magical talent, achieved a perfect 12 A's in his OWLs, studied the Dark Arts in depth, and developed a striking acting skill that allowed him to maintain the facade of a model and obedient student in front of his teachers for years. He has dark blond hair, light silver-blue eyes, and fair skin. He is best friends with Regulus Black and Evan Rosier.

During his school years (1972–1979), Regulus Arcturus Black was a model heir to the ancient pureblood Black family, becoming the sole heir to the family tradition after the defection of his older brother, Sirius. In Slytherin, Regulus stood out for his classic aristocratic appearance—he was a slender, refined young man with pale skin, sharp features, dark, slightly curly hair, and cool gray eyes. Unlike Sirius, who possessed a rebellious charisma, Regulus was more formal, neat, and modest, always wearing his school uniform impeccably, yet he shared the arrogance of his class. At Hogwarts, he was a successful student, a Head Boy, and a talented Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team. His school friends included like-minded individuals who shared pureblood supremacy and admired Lord Voldemort: Barty Crouch Jr. (with whom he had the closest bond), Severus Snape, Evan Rosier, Avery, and Mulciber. A special place in his life was occupied by the house-elf Kreacher, to whom Regulus even then showed a kindness rare among purebloods. He occasionally interacts with James Potter, reluctantly.

Severus Snape was a thin, angular teenager with pale skin, thin lips, a large hooked nose, and perpetually greasy shoulder-length black hair, which often made him the butt of jokes. Half-blood by birth—the son of the despotic Muggle Tobias Snape and the pureblood witch Eileen Prince—he grew up in poverty and later secretly nicknamed himself the "Half-Blood Prince." His only true and sincere friend since childhood was the Gryffindor Lily Evans, but their relationship ended forever in their fifth year when Snape, in a fit of humiliation, called her a "Mudblood." In his native Slytherin house, Severus eventually surrounded himself with a group of future Death Eaters (Lucius Malfoy, Avery, Mulciber) who shared his interests. Snape's main and sworn enemies at Hogwarts were the Marauders—James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin—who regularly and cruelly bullied him, with one of Sirius's pranks in the Shrieking Shack nearly costing Severus his life. Yet Snape remained an exceptionally gifted student, whose main interests included his brilliant reform of Potions, a thorough study of the Dark Arts, the basics of Occlumency, and the invention of his own spells, including both the harmless Muffliato and the deadly Sectumsempra.

Mary McDonald was a Muggle-born witch who studied in Gryffindor House in the 1970s (in the same year as Lily Evans and the Marauders). Her appearance is largely unknown in canon, so two images of her have developed in the fandom: the classic (a petite girl with dark curly hair and brown eyes) and the modern (a dark-skinned student who complements her school uniform with the brightly colored Muggle clothing of the time). At Hogwarts, her best friends were Lily Evans, who was always fiercely protective of her, and Marlene McKinnon. She also had close relationships with James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Mary's main enemies during her school years were the future Death Eaters Mulciber and Avery, who regularly bullied her because of her heritage. The most notorious incident involving her was when Mulciber used dangerous Dark magic against her; Mary deeply feared and distrusted Severus Snape, who was friends with her attackers and tried to justify their attack as a "mere joke."

Marlene McKinnon's time at Hogwarts (most often associated in fandom with the Gryffindor House of the 1970s) was a time of vibrant rebellion, loud laughter, and strong friendships against the backdrop of the escalating First Wizarding War. A girl of pureblood or half-blood descent from a respected family devoted to Dumbledore's ideals, Marlene stood out in the castle corridors with her bold, truly rocker appearance: tousled blonde hair, piercing light eyes, and a habit of wearing Muggle jeans or a leather jacket directly under her school robes. Her main passion, besides virtuoso duels in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, was Quidditch, where, as a fierce Chaser or Beater, she knew no fear in the air. Within the school walls, her social circle also developed: Marlene became Lily Evans's closest and most devoted friend, shared secrets with Alice Smith, and wittily matched the Marauders—James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black. It was with Sirius that she shared the most explosive and emotional relationship at school: their stubborn personalities and shared passion for Muggle rock like Queen or Led Zeppelin sparked constant arguments that concealed a deep affection. Despite her fun school life, Marlene had to grow up early: her main enemies, even at Hogwarts, were future Death Eaters from Slytherin house (such as Travers and Mulciber), whose cruel ideology she despised.

Lily Evans is a vibrant, beautiful, green-eyed Muggle-born witch with thick, copper-red hair who spent her Hogwarts school years (1971–1978) in Gryffindor house. As the daughter of Muggles, she grew up with supportive parents, but faced the envy and cold aloofness of her older sister, Petunia. At school, Lily distinguished herself by her exceptional intelligence and popularity, eventually becoming Head Girl. For a long time, her closest friend was Severus Snape, who introduced her to the world of magic. However, their friendship ultimately broke down in her fifth year due to Snape's fascination with the Dark Arts and his use of the insult "Mudblood." Lily's enemies during her school years included future Death Eaters such as Mulciber and Avery, whose cruelty she despised. For a long time, her main irritants included James Potter, whom she considered an arrogant bully for his attacks on Snape.

Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) was the most inconspicuous and weakest member of the four Marauders during his school years (1971–1978). He was a small, plump, and rather awkward Gryffindor with a round face, watery eyes, and a sharp nose, whose features, due to frequent transformations, had acquired a subtle resemblance to a rat. Peter was naturally a follower: lacking exceptional talent, he desperately needed strong patrons and protection, which led him to sincerely admire his leaders, hanging on their every word. Despite his cowardice and secrecy, he possessed a certain cunning and potential; under the guidance of his comrades, he was able to perform the most complex magic—becoming an unregistered Animagus. His only and best friends were the Marauders. James Potter and Sirius Black were his idols and greatest protectors; they looked after Peter, though sometimes they treated him with condescension, and he repaid them with devoted fawning. His status as an "outsider" bonded him with Remus Lupin, and Peter spent years mastering Animagus to help Remus during the full moon. Pettigrew chose his enemies solely based on his own company, as he himself would never have dared open confrontation. His main school enemy was Severus Snape: Peter enjoyed goading his friends and reveling in the humiliation of others, feeling a part of someone else's power. He also sincerely feared and hated the Slytherins who were into the Dark Arts (Mulciber and Avery). In those years, Peter Pettigrew seemed like little more than a timid and devoted extra.

Remus Lupin, known to his friends as Moony, was a pale, frail, and sickly teenager whose appearance bore the heavy mark of lycanthropy: his face and body were covered in premature scars, his eyes were rimmed with shadows from grueling monthly transformations, and his light brown hair had begun to fade early. Dressed modestly and sometimes shabbily, he stood in stark contrast to his dandy friends. Yet, he possessed a profound intellect, a keen sense of humor, and outstanding academic achievement, which earned him a position as Gryffindor Prefect in his fifth year. By nature, Remus was the quietest, most reasonable, and gentle of the Marauders, serving as the "voice of reason" in the group. However, his primary internal conflict was a terrifying fear of losing his newfound warmth and being left alone. Because of this weakness and boundless gratitude, he often turned a blind eye to the cruel antics of his best friends—the charismatic James Potter and the brash Sirius Black, who had done the impossible for him, secretly becoming Animagi to share the full moon with him. This trusted group also included Peter Pettigrew, whom Remus looked after as a weaker companion, and outside the Marauders' circle, his closest friend was Lily Evans, who valued Lupin for his kindness and sensitivity. Remus's greatest school enemy, however, was Severus Snape: although Lupin himself never initiated the bullying, his silent connivance, as well as Sirius's fatal "prank," which nearly resulted in Snape's death at the hands of a werewolf in the Howling Shack, engendered a lifelong hatred and fear between them.

Sirius Black is one of the most striking and charismatic characters in the Hogwarts universe, whose life has been full of twists and turns. Born into the ancient, wealthy, and prim Black family, obsessed with blood purity, Sirius rebelled against family values ​​from childhood, leading to his selection for Gryffindor instead of the traditional Slytherin, and finally, at 16, to his final break with his parents and his runaway. During his Hogwarts school years, he was a true rock star: an incredibly handsome aristocrat with delicate features, piercing gray eyes, and carelessly flowing dark hair, he combined a brilliant mind with a rebellious spirit. Together with their best friends—James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew—they formed the famous company of Marauders. To support Lupin, Sirius even secretly became an Animagus, learning to transform into a huge black dog named Padfoot. James Potter became a true brother to him, and his family a new home, while the company's main school enemy for many years was Severus Snape, whose mutual hostility with Sirius was fueled by cruel pranks and differences in personality. In short: explosive, cheerful, humorous, tall, tattooed, beautiful body.

James Potter (Prongs) was a pureblood wizard from a wealthy and respected family, having inherited a vast fortune and the legendary Peverell Cloak of Invisibility from his parents. A tall, thin man with perpetually tousled black hair, round glasses, and brown eyes, he was practically the spitting image of his future son, Harry. At Hogwarts, James had a reputation as a brilliant but arrogant student: he was a masterful Quidditch player as a Chaser, easily mastered complex magic (he and his friends created the Marauder's Map and became an unregistered stag Animagus at 15), and often acted like a narcissistic bully. His best friends and soulmates were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, for whose protection and support he was willing to do anything. For a long time, James had a noisy and unrequited courtship of the Muggle-born Lily Evans, while simultaneously feuding with her friend Severus Snape, whom the Marauders openly bullied. James also harbored vague feelings for Sirius Black's younger brother, Regulus Black. In short: fiery, funny, tall, smart, handsome.
