Top 20 Harry Potter Characters | Lavender Brown - (played by Jessie Cave)  I have a lot of both respect and love for Lavender. The hat for her confuses me so, so much. I don't understand why people hate on her. The hate for her just makes me love her either more. Lavender Brown is a brave, loyal, determined and realistic character! Lavender, especially in HBP, is a lot like thousands or girls, and boys, across the world. She's clingy and obsessed and a little annoying, but she changes! She matures. Between Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, Lavender grew up a lot. She was suddenly in a world where muggle borns were being hunted and killed and fear was injected into every part of her life. She could have easily just given up and just let everything go on as it was, but she didn't. She joined Dumbledore's Army and restarted the rebellion. She helped, albeit in a small way, in the rebellion at Hogwarts and fought for what she believed was right and the good thing to do. When Harry arrived back at the school, she decided to fight with him, and Ron and Hermione. She wasn't bitter that Ron dumped her, she just got on with it and fought. This shows how much she grew up! She died, in the movies, fighting for the right side and cause that she believed in. Lavender died a hero's death and she still receives hate for it?! It's ridiculous. Plus, Jessie Cave is perfect in the role and she delivers Lavender spot on!
