Susan Bones

Susan Bones
Susan Bones is a Hufflepuff student in Harry's year who wears her hair in a long plait down her back. She is sorted in Philosopher's Stone, but is not mentioned again in the series until Order of the Phoenix, in which she attends the initial D.A. meeting in the Hog's Head, expresses curiosity over whether Harry could produce a corporeal Patronus, and reveals to Harry that her aunt was Amelia Bones, a high-ranking member of the Wizengamot who had presided at Harry's trial before the term. Following the breakout of several Death Eaters from Azkaban prison, including those who murdered her uncle Edgar and his family, Susan becomes a subject of unwanted notoriety among her fellow students, and she tells Harry that she understood how he felt. She is also part of the group of D.A. members who prevent Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle from ambushing Harry aboard the Hogwarts Express at the end of the year. Susan's last appearance in the series is in Half-Blood Prince, when she accidentally splinches herself during an Apparition lesson. Though her leg is successfully reattached, the incident leaves her somewhat shaken.
Eleanor Columbus (daughter of director Chris Columbus) portrayed Susan in a non-speaking role in the first two films
