I love it how you think she's just an old lady from the neighbourhood and then she bursts out with stuff about dementors Mrs Figg is someone you really hate to begin with (especially in the books) because she's not really very nice to Harry but it's revealed that she was actually a squib and Dumbledore had ordered her to keep an eye on Harry all along and in fact, she's a very nice old lady. Ultimately, he has a good heart and ends up fighting for what is right so he deserves his spot here even if he isn't one of my favourite Hogwarts professors. It's pretty clear that his character is all based on being popular and prizing his star students makes him come across unpleasant. He's evidently sorry about what he's done but I still find him a bit unlikeable for how he pretty much caused the whole Voldemort thing and tried to cover it all over in order to keep his reputation. For someone who wasn't properly introduced until the sixth book, Professor Slughorn still makes a pretty big impact as a character, largely down to the fact he was the one to inform a young Tom Riddle all about horcruxes in the first place. It's even more sad when you consider that he was under-aged in the final film/book but ended up sneaking into the castle to fight and ultimately was killed Probably one of the more annoying characters at first, he basically just follows Harry around with a camera for his first year but he does grow on you and in the end you do feel sad when he gets petrified during the Chamber of Secrets. She gets a bit more to do than the rest hence her slightly higher position, she has the scary cursed necklace moment and also a part in the Quidditch team which is always fun. I also like the actress who played her in the later films and I always liked her in the books too so that helps. Another minor character that I just like seeing about when she turns up. She also get's the iconic line 'arm, leg, I'm yours' in response to the boy who asks her for her arm at the Yule Ball after sitting there bored with Harry for most of the night She's also funny because of how much she likes Trelawney which is quite cute although we don't really get to see much of her in the movies. Parvati ranks a bit higher here because she's a Gryffindor so naturally we get to see a bit more of her.

I mainly like her and her sister for how disinterested they are in Harry and Ron at the Yule Ball to the point where they pretty much just ask to dance with other people Padma is also amazing because in the Cursed Child alternate reality, she ends up getting married to Ron and having a child called Panju Another minor character but one that is nice to see when she pops up now and then.
