Harper

"Thinks he's something special, doesn't he...Your blood traitor pal..."

- Harper's words to Harry Potter

Harper was a Wizard who began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1992, and was Sorted into Slytherin. He was described by Ginny Weasley as "an idiot". During the 1996–1997 school year, he was the reserve Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team, and played against Gryffindor when Draco Malfoy pulled out of the squad.

1996-1997 school year
Harper appears to share the beliefs of fellow Slytherins, deliberately ramming Harry Potter during the first Quidditch match of 1996, and making snide comments about Ron Weasley, calling him a blood traitor. He also appears to have a keen eyesight, spotting the snitch before even Harry. However, when it seemed that he was about to catch it, he was put off by Harry's desperate taunt, implying that Malfoy paid Harper to play instead. Harper fumbled the Snitch in distraction, costing his team the game.

1998
It is likely that he was evacuated from Hogwarts along with the rest of his house before the Battle of Hogwarts, it is unknown if he returned with the reinforcements led by Horace Slughorn, as some Slytherins did.
