	Movies - Minor Slytherins

The following are minor characters from the Harry Potter series in Slytherin House. The characters Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, also in Slytherin, all have their own article.

Malcolm Baddock

Malcolm Baddock is a student three years younger than Harry. He was Sorted into Slytherin in the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, between Stewart Ackerley and Eleanor Branstone. His arrival at the Slytherin table was met with applause, although Fred and George Weasley hissed at him, and Harry privately wondered if the first-year was aware of his new house's sinister reputation. Malcolm has not been mentioned since and nothing else is known about his character.

Miles Bletchley

Miles Bletchley is the Keeper of the Slytherin Quidditch team. He once hit Alicia Spinnet with a jinx from behind in the library just before the Gryffindor-Slytherin match in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Since Bletchley was at least a second-year when Harry started at Hogwarts (he is mentioned in The Philosopher's Stone as a member of the Quidditch team), and is still at Hogwarts in Order of the Phoenix, it is safe to assume he is no more than two years older than Harry.

The Slytherin Keeper in the Philosopher's Stone film was identified as "Bletchley", though that character was a girl.

Millicent Bulstrode

Millicent Bulstrode is in Harry's year and reminds him of a picture he saw in Holidays with Hags. She was a member of the Inquisitorial Squad during Harry's fifth year.

In her second year, Hermione attempts to assume Millicent's appearance using the Polyjuice Potion. However, she accidentally takes the appearance of Millicent's cat and spends time in the hospital wing, as the potion is not meant to be used for animal transformations.

Hermione also dueled Millicent in the Dueling Club earlier in the year during which Millicent attacked Hermione physically rather than using magic. It was during this duel that Hermione accidentally took a cat's hair rather than Millicent's off of her robes.

Millicent's tentative blood lineage is given in the interview special "Harry Potter and Me". Like most magic families, her family has a connection to the Black clan. A possible relative named Violetta Bulstrode was wife to Cygnus Black, one of the sons of Phineas Nigellus,making her a very distant relative of Draco Malfoy.

In fandom, she is often thought of as Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle's female counterpart as Pansy Parkinson is to Draco Malfoy, but not half as dense.

The Billy Bunter stories feature a character named Bulstrode - this may be the source of her surname.

Marcus Flint

Marcus Flint is Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team during Harry Potter's first three years at Hogwarts. He is described as looking like he has some troll blood in him. Flint and Gryffindor Captain Oliver Wood seem to share a mutual dislike, as their "handshakes" before matches often turn into attempts to break each other's fingers. Flint blocked Harry's broom in book 1, which stopped him from caching the Snitch.

Marcus Flint is a sixth year student in Harry's first year and is still in school two years later when he should have already finished school. Author J.K. Rowling explained this away by saying that he failed his exams. Explanation notwithstanding, Harry Potter fans have taken to calling minor textual errors in the series "flints," after this particular mistake.
