well there’s the (only) asian character whose name is literally “Cho Chang”
or the one black person (of two!) named “Kingsly Shacklebolt”
oh and just for fun i’m pretty sure the one coded-irish character is constantly causing explosions? but we’re getting into p fuzzy recall territory tbh, and i’m sure there’s plenty more.
technically there’s four Black folk in the Harry Potter books, but Rowling goes out of her way to not mention Lee Jordan despite Lee being a quidditch shoutcaster and allegedly the best friend of the Weasley twins, or Angelina Johnson, despite Angelina being Gryffindor’s Chaser (god what an awful name for a sports role in this day and age) (and didn’t she date one of the Weasley twins, too?) and she made Blaise Zabini a straight-up Death Eater-aligned Slytherin, so… Yeah, I’m gonna drill a couple more screws into the ‘racist’ sign she’s wearing
I’d say there’s five but I don’t have the spoons to have the “Hermione is a black girl, there’s no such thing as a tea cracker who needs a perm put in her hair for a school dance” argument with burger cracker liberals

He’s not just coded Irish, his name is literally Seamus Finnegan, and yeah he’s most associated with blowing shit up
