As a fellow Gryffindor, Lavender Brown often shared scenes with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. However, her character was often pushed to the side, until Harry Potter’s sixth installment. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Lavender Brown’s character was suddenly shoved under the spotlight when she became the girlfriend of Ron Weasley. The pair’s short-lived romance was the cause of jealousy for Hermione Granger, and ultimately made her realize that she had feelings for Ron. However, once Ron and Lavender’s whirlwind romance came to a close, Lavender’s character is rarely mentioned again.
