Other students mentioned in J. K. Rowling's character notes

During a 2001 TV special called Harry Potter and Me, J.K. Rowling showed the camera an early notebook page listing some of the students in Harry's year. Each student's name was given, along with her/his gender, house, and "blood status". These notes are not considered canon, as many of the characters have undergone significant changes from the notes to the books. For instance, Michael Corner and Anthony Goldstein are listed as Hufflepuffs in the notebook, but when they are introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, both of them are Ravenclaws; indeed, Anthony Goldstein is one of the Ravenclaw prefects.

There are several students from Harry's year who are mentioned in the notebook, but have not yet been introduced in the actual books. They are listed below for the sake of completeness, but some of their names and houses may change if/when they appear in the series properly.
