Justin Finch-Fletchley Character Analysis

A second-year Hufflepuff student at Hogwarts. Justin is Muggle-born, and so when rumors begin to spread that Harry is the heir of Slytherin, he starts to avoid Harry. This fear is only made worse when, during a meeting of the dueling club, it seems like Harry sets a snake on Justin when really Harry is trying to prevent the snake from attacking Justin. Justin is later petrified by the basilisk along with Nearly Headless Nick, but he is revived at the end of the book.

Harry didn’t know what to say. He thought of Malfoy shouting, “You’ll be next, Mudbloods!” and of the Polyjuice Potion simmering away in Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom. Then he thought of the disembodied voice he had heard twice and remembered what Ron had said: “Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the Wizarding world.” He thought, too, about what everyone was saying about him, and his growing dread that he was somehow connected with Salazar Slytherin. . . .
