Leanne

Leanne was a friend of Katie Bell during Katie's seventh year. While returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after a visit to Hogsmeade, she and Katie got in an argument over a package that Katie had been given to take to the castle. The argument caused Katie to accidentally touch the cursed opal necklace given to her by Madam Rosmerta, who was under the Imperius Curse at the time. Leanne was very distraught when Katie was put under the curse, trying to pull her down and crying. When they got back to the castle she broke down when telling Professor McGonagall what happened and was sent to Madam Pomfrey for calming down.

Behind the scenes


Leanne will be portrayed by Isabella Laughland in the upcoming film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Based on screenshots from the film, she is a Hufflepuff in Harry's year, although neither her house nor age is revealed in the book.
