Lavender Brown is a Gryffindor student and is Ron's first girlfriend. She is a close friend of housemate Parvati Patil; they seem to enjoy the same classes, especially Divination, and share many common interests. The two also seem to have a reasonably close relationship with Professor Trelawney, comforting and supporting her in her various crises. Lavender is one of the few students who help round up the Blast-Ended Skrewts after a disastrous Care of Magical Creatures class, and she attends the Yule Ball with Seamus Finnigan in their fourth year. She initially believes the Ministry's smear campaign against Harry, but is among the original members of Dumbledore's Army.
In Half-Blood Prince, Lavender and Ron begin dating, and she gives him the nickname of "Won-Won". Ron is not particularly amorous of Lavender himself, but he maintains the relationship solely to instil jealousy in Hermione and to prove that he can "snog" people whenever he wants. However, Lavender becomes jealous of Ron's friendship with Hermione, and finally splits up with him when she sees them leaving Harry's dormitory together, as she is under the impression that they had been alone together in there, but Harry was actually present under his Invisibility Cloak. In Deathly Hallows, Lavender is gravely injured in the Battle of Hogwarts after being attacked by Fenrir Greyback and is seen moving feebly, though it is unknown if she ultimately survives the battle.
Jennifer Smith plays Lavender in a brief, non-speaking role in Prisoner of Azkaban. Jessie Cave played the character in a larger role in Half-Blood Prince, and will return for the second part of Deathly Hallows.[
