This is the place to find in-depth analysis of the individual characters from the Harry Potter series and some speculations as to what may lie in their (pre-Deathly Hallows) futures.

- The Phoenix Files #14: Draco Malfoy (August 24, 2005) - Draco Malfoy: love him, hate him, love to hate him, or hate to love him, he is one of the most interesting characters in the HP series.

- The Phoenix Files #12: Peter Pettigrew (July 10, 2005) - We know that Peter Pettigrew hung out with Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter at Hogwarts.

- The Phoenix Files #11: Luna Lovegood (June 29, 2005) - But Luna has a great mind--she's not in Ravenclaw for nothing! She even puts that mind to practical use toward the end of Book Five. "Well, we'll have to fly, won't we?" "I thought we'd settled that? We're flying!" Luna recalls that thestrals are good at finding places their riders are looking for. Notice Hermione didn't come up with the plan (probably because she can't see them); is it possible Luna could be another practical thinker in the new Harry group?
- The Phoenix Files: Folder #10: Severus Snape (Part Two) (June 27, 2005) - By Christopher Stephen Hello again, everyone, and welcome back to the File of Severus Snape. Part Two will discuss the ultimate disposition of the Potions master. Whose side is he really on? We shall...
