Terry Boot

From the Encyclopedia of Speculative Fiction - http://encyclopedia.wizards.pro

Terry Boot is in Harry PotterLink title's year, and is friends with Michael Corner and Anthony Goldstein. Terry was introduced in the first book as the first student to be sorted into Ravenclaw. He was present at the Dueling Club with Lockhart in his second year and ended up with a bloody nose.

In his fifth year, Terry became a member of Dumbledore's Army. At the initial meeting he revealed that he was in Dumbledore's office the previous year, and that a portrait had told him that Harry had slain a Basilisk with the sword in the office. He was also rather impressed by Hermione's ability to do the N.E.W.T.-level Protean Charm, and questioned why she had been sorted into Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw. Aboard the Hogwarts Express at the end of the school year, Terry was one of the students who assisted Harry when Draco Malfoy and his friends attempted to ambush him.

In book six Terry appears in Professor Slughorn's first lesson, being one of four Ravenclaws in Harry's year to take N.E.W.T.-level Potions.

Terry may be the "T. Boot" listed in Quidditch Through the Ages as a student who has borrowed the book from the Hogwarts Library. The list of students in Harry's year shown in J. K. Rowling's interview special "Harry Potter and Me" includes a Ravenclaw named "Trevor Boot"; this may have been a name previously considered for the character before she ultimately christened Neville Longbottom's toad with that moniker.

Terry's parentage is tentatively known from the interview special "Harry Potter and Me".
