[[caption-width-right:350:Hogwarts Headmaster]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SimonPegg
The headmaster of Hogwarts during the late 19th century, a former member of Slytherin, and ancestor to Sirius Black.

* AscendedExtra: In the books and films, he was a background character, and even then characters only really interacted with a painting of the man in the Headmaster's office. Here, his character is fleshed out on account of him being alive and well during the 19th century.
* FamedInStory: Albeit not for any real flattering reasons. In Harry's time, Phineas is well-known as one of Hogwarts' worst Headmasters.
* HatedByAll: Or at the very least heavily disliked. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who seems to like Phineas as Hogwarts' Headmaster, including Slytherins. Their dislike stems from Phineas' dismissive nature toward the students and having an ItsAllAboutMe attitude.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted. Promotional materials and even the books make it clear that Phineas doesn't care for the students or even the position of headmaster, save for the benefits the position itself gives him. Then again, he ''is'' remembered as one of the worst Headmasters in Hogwarts' history.

[[caption-width-right:350:Hogwarts Professor]]
->'''Voiced by'''
The professor of Potions

* NewTransferStudent: Of a sort; unlike most students, they start late into the curriculum as a fifth-year. This causes some initial problems as since they start so late they're missing a lot of material. The Ministry and the Headmaster help rectify this problem with the Field Guild.

A student at Hogwarts who is part of Ravenclaw House.

* TheGift: One of the very, very, ''very'' few people who can not only see traces of magic, but also use ancient, long-lost magic. That very same magic is said to have helped create Hogwarts, by the way.

* BigBad: Promotional materials and State of Play trailer paint him as the game's main villain.

* SchrödingersPlayerCharacter: Heavily downplayed. Regardless of which house the protagonist is sorted into at the start of the game, the story remains mostly the same, with the only difference being how soon they interact with the other companion characters.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Or ''prequel'' main character in this case as the game's set over a hundred years before the events of the books. Harry was the prophecized [[TheChosenOne Chosen One]] said to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort, though he virtually knew absolutely nothing about magic until he started Hogwarts as a first year. The protagonist is already a member of the wizarding world and is otherwise unremarkable save for their apparent talent for using "long-lost forgotten magic". Their unusual circumstances also lead them to join Hogwarts late as a fifth-year student.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Because they start so late at Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic and the professors at Hogwarts loans them a magical Field Guild to help them catch up. In-game, the Field Guild not only helps keep track of any ongoing quests and organizes your equipment and spell loadout, but also has pages and documents on historical events, locations, etc.
* MultipleChoicePast: They can join any of the four houses.

* RandomlyGifted: Despite not being a ChosenOne or anything, they're incredibly talented for someone their age.

* NewTransferStudent: Of a sort; the State of Play trailer states they join Hogwarts as a ''fifth-year'' student, which is noted to be highly unusual.

* AnimalLover: Albeit of the mystical variety. Described in prerelease materials as having an affinity for magical beasts. In the State of Play trailer, all her scenes involve her interacting with them, and at one point, she's seen with the protagonist meeting a bunch of centaurs.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Described as such in the prerelease materials. Poppy would rather prefer the company of magical beasts and other such critters over interacting with her classmates, the protagonist being the only seeming exception.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Trailers portray him as this, being amicable and friendly with the protagonist despite his interest in the Dark Arts and being part of Slytherin, a house known to comprise schemers and backstabbers on top of churning out many dark wizards and witches. His reasons for pursuing the Dark Arts are also quite sympathetic compared to other known users.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: According to prerelease materials, this is his reason for pursuing the Dark Arts. His sister was afflicted with a mysterious disease and his family's attempts to cure it have all failed. Sebastian pursues the secrets of the Dark Arts, seeing them as a possible, if not the only cure at this point.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Or ''prequel'' main character in this case as the game's set over a hundred years before the events of the books. Unlike Harry, who started Hogwarts as a first-year while having little knowledge in the way of magic as well as TheChosenOne, the protagonist starts Hogwarts late as a fifth-year but is otherwise average save for the ability to seemingly use "long-lost forgotten magic" as described in the trailers.

* RandomlyGifted: Despite not being a ChosenOne or anything, he is incredibly talented for someone his age.
