“‘Out of order, am I?’ shouted Seamus, who in contrast with Ron was turning paler. ‘You believe all the rubbish he’s come out with about You-Know-Who, do you, you reckon he’s telling the truth?’

“‘Yeah, I do!’ said Ron angrily.

“‘Then you’re mad too,’ said Seamus in disgust.

“‘Yeah? Well unfortunately for you, pal, I’m also a prefect!’ said Ron, jabbing himself in the chest with a finger. ‘So unless you want detention, watch your mouth!’

“Seamus looked for a few seconds as though detention would be a reasonable price to pay to say what was going through his mind; but with a noise of contempt he turned on his heel, vaulted into bed, and pulled the hangings shut with such violence that they were ripped from the bed and fell in a dusty pile to the floor.”

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

And now for the final student block in the Harry Potter Gryffindors C2C Crochet Afghan—Seamus Finnigan. Seamus is a half-blood wizard who is proud of his Irish heritage. His father was a Muggle and his mother a witch. He is quick to support Ireland in the Quidditch World Cup and urges others to do likewise. During Defense Against the Dark Arts, the boggart turns into a banshee, a female spirit in Irish folklore whose keening and wailing foretells of a family member’s death.

Seamus seems to have been a good friend to Harry Potter in their first few years at Hogwarts. He partnered with Harry in Charms from time to time, cheered him on in Quidditch, and lent him his Wizard Chess set. However, when Harry’s name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, Seamus is disgruntled thinking that Harry tricked the Goblet of Fire somehow. He also stands up for his mother who believes the Daily Prophet’s version of events showing Harry to be a lying, attention-seeker. It isn’t until Harry grants an interview with Rita Skeeter which is published in the Quibbler that Seamus recognizes the truth of Harry’s story. He apologizes and supports Harry in Dumbledore’s Army.

Seamus Finnigan is the ninth block in the Harry Potter Gryffindors C2C Crochet Afghan.
