Behind the scenes

• Anthony was initially a Hufflepuff on the student list shown by J. K. Rowling on Harry Potter and Me. He is also listed as a half-blood there.
• He attended Hogwarts in the 1997-98 school year, meaning that he was either a half-blood or a pureblood. Given that he was said to be a half-blood on the classlist in Harry Potter and Me, it is likely that it is the former.
• Anthony is voiced by Tom Wheatley in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
• J.K. Rowling has stated that Anthony is Jewish.
