The Harry Potter franchise has produced some of the most defining media of its generation. Loved for its detailed universe and unique sense of whimsy, a huge part of the series' appeal lies with its characters. Even minor characters are dynamic and three-dimensional, growing and changing over the seven-year saga.

With the dozens of personalities that populate Hogwarts, which one is most like you? There are plenty of ways to answer that question, but only one is a course at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself: Astrology. Here's a guide to each Hogwarts student that most embodies each of the zodiac signs.

12 Aries: Oliver Wood

With their boldness and bravado, several Gryffindors exhibit Aries traits. The captain of the Quidditch team, Oliver Wood is no exception. His enthusiasm for his sport knows no bounds. His quick temper often shows itself during games, but he flames out quickly and reverts to his good-natured charm.

The sign of the ram loves sports and physical challenges, and as a star athlete, Oliver Wood embodies this spirit. He's confident, optimistic, and loves to win glory for his House by leading his team to victory.

11 Taurus: Neville Longbottom

The sign of the bull has close ties to nature. With his love of plants and eventual career as Hogwarts Herbology professor, Neville clearly has an affinity for the natural world. Like many Tauruses, he's shy and quiet, but loyal and reliable when it most counts.

With their slow and patient natures, Tauruses are often late bloomers—like Neville, who really begins to shine in the later books. This sign is protective of loved ones, and Neville's bravery comes through when he must rise to defend his friends.

10 Gemini: Fred and George Weasley

The sign of the twin is perfectly encapsulated by the antics of literal twins Fred and George. Not content with books and lessons, they spend their days at Hogwarts finding fun and mischief. Yet, like any Gemini, they still love to learn. They're remarkably clever, constantly inventing new magical pranks.

The Weasley twins have explored the castle and know its secrets better than most teachers, demonstrating trademark Gemini curiosity. A Gemini loves to entertain and make others laugh—and this is Fred and George's passion in life.

9 Cancer: Ron Weasley

Kind, compassionate, and loyal, Ron shares several traits with the sign of the crab. More sensitive than he lets on, he's always willing to help when someone is in a bad situation, or simply down in the dumps. A pep talk, a game of chess, or a daring escape in a flying car—he'll do anything to help a friend.

Occasionally he grows moody or resentful; for example, he's sometimes jealous of Harry's fame. However, his love for his friends and family eventually overrides any grudge he holds.

8 Leo: Draco Malfoy

A stereotypical rich kid, Malfoy's used to being the center of attention and getting what he wants. Like the sign of the lion, he basks in the spotlight and tends to pout when it shines on someone else.

Yet, like any Leo, Malfoy does have a certain charismatic quality. A well-loved character despite his role as a rival and villain, he's also popular with classmates in Slytherin house. His big personality makes him hard to resist, despite the arrogant nature that comes from his upbringing.

7 Virgo: Hermione Granger

Conscientious and meticulous, Hermione holds herself and her friends to high standards. Her academic success is due to smarts and analytical thinking, but even more so to hard work. Like any Virgo, Hermione's thirst for knowledge knows no bounds.

Her desire to do everything perfectly can lead her to stretch herself too thin. Sometimes Harry and Ron find her overbearing since she feels a need to take care of them. But when times get tough, her hallmark Virgo loyalty, diligence, and smarts pull her and her friends through.

6 Libra: Cedric Diggory

As social butterflies, Libras love to get along with everyone and bring people together. It's hard to find someone at Hogwarts who doesn't like Cedric Diggory. He's popular with everyone, considerate, and easygoing—all classic Libra traits.

Represented by the scales, Libras are fair-minded and seek balance. After Harry's heads-up about dragons in Goblet of Fire, Cedric repays in kind, giving him a clue about the second task. He values fairness in all things and wants all members of the Tournament to compete on equal footing.

5 Scorpio: Harry Potter

Scorpios are powerful and passionate, just like Harry Potter himself. He throws his heart and soul into everything and does not do or feel anything by halves. Whether it's a Quidditch match or a battle against evil, Harry acts bravely and doesn't hold back.

Like a Scorpio, Harry can be secretive and reluctant to open up, sometimes to his detriment. Yet, he's extremely loyal to his circle of close friends. One of the most complex on the Zodiac, this sign encapsulates the series' hero with his intensity, steadfastness, and strength.

4 Sagittarius: Ginny Weasley

Sagittarians are lively and fierce, sociable and self-ruled, just like the youngest Weasley child. Ginny isn't afraid to chase what she wants or carve her own path. Quick-witted and feisty, Ginny isn't afraid to try new things and is good at connecting with all sorts of people.

She's free-spirited and occasionally rebellious, determined not to be discounted or ignored just because she's the little sister. Ginny's honesty and fierce independence, classic Sagittarius characteristics, define her character throughout the books.

3 Capricorn: Percy Weasley

The sign of the goat is driven and ambitious, just like the third Weasley child. Because status is important to them, they can come across as proud or haughty, just as Percy sometimes flaunts his status as Prefect or Head Boy.

Like a Capricorn, Percy's ambition sometimes causes him to have tunnel vision or to act selfishly. However, when it matters most, he puts his family and friends first. Percy never lets go of his goals and eventually learns the balance that's hard for Capricorns to achieve.

2 Aquarius: Luna Lovegood

Quirky and strange, Luna never seems to care what people think of her. Sometimes she can seem detached from reality; however, her ability to see the big picture actually makes her incredibly insightful. Like an Aquarius, she's an original thinker, not constrained by what's considered normal or standard.

Despite being a loner, she loves having people to talk to and share her big ideas with. Though they like their alone time, Aquarians are the sign most linked with friendship, and Luna values her friends more than anything else.

1 Pisces: Cho Chang

Like the sign of the fish, Cho is empathetic; she carries her friends' burdens along with her own. Her sensitivity can make her weepy and overly emotional, but it also means she's attuned to those around her.

Pisceans are complex and can get bogged down in the weight of their own souls. Cho often shows this quality in Order of the Phoenix, while she's struggling with Cedric's loss and the troubles plaguing Hogwarts. However, she's also kindhearted and encouraging, supporting Harry in his efforts with Dumbledore's Army.
