Colin and Dennis Creevey
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:HP Character Colin and Dennis Creevey are fictional characters in the Harry Potter series of books. Fellow students of the protagonist, Harry Potter, Colin Creevey was introduced in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Dennis in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Colin and Dennis are Muggle-born: their father is a milkman. Colin is portrayed as an excitable character, delighted at the discovery that he is a wizard and retaining the Muggle habit of taking photographs of memorable people, objects and events. He indulges this habit throughout his first year at Hogwarts, often pursuing Harry for pictures to send home to his family. Harry found Colin's constant attention irksome. Colin is in the same year as Ginny Weasley, and in Harry's second year at Hogwarts he fell victim to the Basilisk released from the Chamber of Secrets by the unwitting Ginny. Fortunately, however, he was saved by his camera: in attempting to take a photograph of the beast, he avoided direct exposure to the Basilisk's fatal stare and suffered only medium-term, curable paralysis.
Dennis is Colin's younger brother by two years, and, like Colin, is in Gryffindor house. Both Creeveys joined Harry's Defence Against the Dark Arts movement christened Dumbledore's Army ('DA'), but neither were involved in the battle at the Department of Mysteries which took place in Colin's fourth year and Dennis's second year at Hogwarts.
The actor Hugh Mitchell portrayed Colin in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002).
One point of trivia relating to the Creevey brothers is that in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dennis attends the first DA meeting in the Hog's Head Inn at Hogsmeade, although second years aren't allowed in Hogsmeade. Unless the rules had altered since Harry's third year, this may represent a minor continuity error on the part of author JK Rowling, although given the predilection of Hogwarts students for mischief, it is entirely plausible that Dennis had somehow been smuggled into Hogsmeade without the sanction of the teachers.es:Colin y Dennis Creevey ja:コリン・クリービー no:Frodrik og Dilton Fromm zh:科林·克里维
