Pansy Parkinson is a major antagonist in the Harry Potter book series. She was Draco's ex-girlfriend and Hermione Granger's arch-enemy.
Background[]
Pansy Parkinson (b. 1979/1980) was a witch in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was born into the Parkinson family, members of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Pansy was sorted into Slytherin House and in her fifth year became a prefect. In the same year she became a member of the short-lived Inquisitorial Squad.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[]
When the final battle of the Second Wizarding War broke out at Hogwarts on 2 May, 1998 Pansy spoke up in favour of turning Harry Potter over to Lord Voldemort. This reaction caused the majority of her schoolmates to draw their wands upon her in Harry's defence.
Post-Wizarding War[]
It can be assumed that Pansy survived the Second Wizarding War, as she left the Great Hall with the other Slytherins before the Battle of Hogwarts broke out and most likely did not return to the castle to fight. Also sometime after the war, Pansy apparently fell out with her former friend Draco Malfoy, who abandoned his blood supremacy ways, married Astoria Greengrass and had a son with her.
Personality[]
Pants has often been described as the 'Anti-Hermione' of the franchise. She is against Hermione and does whatever she can to mock her rival. Pansy was also the first student to suggest turning Harry Potter over to Lord Voldemort and he immediately evacuated from Hogwarts castle. Also, unlike Draco, Pansy apparently never abandons her racist views towards non-Pure blood witches and wizards and practically represents all of the bad qualities Hermione Granger herself possesses.
However the films portray her as less antagonistic to Hermione due to her reduced role.
