There could be a love interest for Harry who is attracted to his long hair. This character could be someone new, perhaps a transfer student from another wizarding school. She could encourage Harry to keep growing his hair and help him style it in different ways. And Dumbledore, as always, could be a significant character. He might see Harry's hair - growing as a sign of his maturing in a different way and give him some wise words about self - expression and the power of change.
Obviously, Harry would be the main character. But Hermione could also play an important role. She might be initially against Harry growing his hair out, thinking it's unhygienic or against school rules, but then she comes around and helps him take care of it with some magic hair products she invents.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Harry grows his hair out because he's on a long journey away from the wizarding world. He doesn't have access to hair - cutting magic or tools, and as his hair grows, it becomes a symbol of his growth and the challenges he's facing. He might also discover new magical abilities related to his long hair, like using it as a sensory extension to detect danger.
Hermione could be a main character. She would be the one trying to figure out the magical theory behind Harry's cocoon - building and wing - growing. She might be researching in the library, looking for any mentions of similar phenomena in ancient magical texts.
The main characters are Harry and Tom. Harry, the boy who lived, and Tom, who could be a complex character in this fanfiction. He might not be the evil Voldemort we know from the original story. Instead, he could be a young wizard with potential for good or bad, and Harry's influence on him is a major part of the story.
Well, clearly Harry and Hermione are the main characters. Harry, the boy who lived, with his courage and natural talent for facing dark magic. And Hermione, the brilliant witch, with her vast knowledge of magic and her logical thinking.
Obviously, Percy would be the main character. But there could also be his best friend, let's say Jack, who helps him through the whole ordeal of growing a tail. Maybe there's a wise old mentor figure, like an old wizard named Merlin, who has some knowledge about such strange transformations.
Hermione could be another main character. Maybe she discovers what's happening to Harry and the author and tries to find a way to reverse it or at least understand it better. She could use her vast knowledge of magic to research the phenomenon.
Hermione could be a main supporting character. She might help Harry and Daphne with their studies and magical research. Ron could also be there, providing some comical relief and loyalty to Harry.
Maybe Draco Malfoy. He could make fun of Harry for trying to fix his hair and try to jinx his attempts, thinking it's a silly thing for Harry to focus on.
The hospital staff would surely be important. For example, a kind - hearted nurse who always takes care of Harry and becomes like a mother figure to him. There could also be an old doctor who has seen many strange cases and is intrigued by Harry's situation. Another character could be a fellow patient, a young girl who is also a wizard but has been hidden away in the hospital for a different reason. They could become friends and help each other through their difficult times in the hospital.
The main characters would be Harry and Lily. But it's possible that we could also see some appearances from the Marauders in flashbacks. Since Lily was friends with them, they could be part of the backstory. Also, Dumbledore might be involved in some way, perhaps as a guiding figure from afar, still looking out for Harry's well - being and the safety of the wizarding world.
