...and Hannah Abbott, who seems to be nice enough, even if we don't know much 
about her.

And I must object to the description of Fleur as "stupid".  I hardly think 
that she would be a Triwizard Champion if she were stupid.  She may be a bit 
haughty, but it's clear that she loves her sister and she was nice enough by 
the end.

Also, for some reason, the picture in my head of Justin Finch-Fletchley is 
blond.  I haven't been able to find anything in the canon to corroborate this, 
so I'm not sure how it got there, but there you go.
