Two Thumbs Up to JK Rowling for Her Harry Potter Names!

When you read all seven of the Harry Potter books, you come across literally hundreds of names; from main characters like Harry, Hermione, and Ron to characters only mentioned in the Daily Prophet or the Muggle news. During my most recent reread of the series, I wrote down each time I came across a character’s name for the first time (book, chapter and page number). I focused on first and last names. I did this because for some time I have been interested in finding out how many characters JK Rowling created for her seven-part series. I think that this is incredible because I myself have attempted to write fiction and names are really hard; you can’t just throw names on a page, they have to fit. So my purpose is to give JK Rowling amazing credit for not only creating the number of names that she did, but also choosing the right names for each character.

And there you have it. JK Rowling created around 400 characters for her books! If you come across a name that I missed, or that wasn’t really a name, let me know, and I’ll give you credit. I hope you enjoyed walking down Harry Potter memory lane!
