.Here’s a handy guide to the characters in Resolving a Misunderstanding. There are probably some missing, but it’s fairly complete.
For a list of significant original characters only, with descriptions, see this entry.
For a list of significant original characters
in Death’s Dominion, including their first appearances, see this entry.
Both original characters and canon characters are listed here. The role listed for specific canon characters may not be strictly canon (e.g., Filius Flitwick is the Charms teacher, but the dates are RaM dates; nothing in the series states when he began teaching).
The asterisks next to some of the OCs indicate that the family name comes from canon.
I have only given the Houses for some, though not all, of the original characters, and not for any canon characters. For most of the Blacks, who are all canon characters, I have tried to identify them by their relationship to Sirius, who is not yet born at the time of RaM.
