Epithalamium Characters

The Epithalamium Series has a cast of thousands.

Some are canon characters, some are original, and many are canon characters that are only mentioned or loosely fleshed out in the books.

In the case of the major and important supporting characters, I have invented full biographies, which I am (slowly!) posting on my blog. I’ll link them to each character here as they are published.

For canon characters, I’ve tried to keep to book canon from the original seven novels as much as possible, ignoring other sources (like the films, Wizarding World info, and JKR interviews.)

If you see a canon character in one of the lists below, keep in mind that for many of them, I’ve invented first and middle names, dates of birth, and other biographical details.

I’ve also created family trees on FamilyEcho.
