• Book 2, Pg 78-79 - Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas, who were sitting in front (of Lockhart's first class), were shaking with silent laughter (at Lockhart).
  Lockhart lifts up the covered cage... Dean and Seamus had stopped laughing now...
• Book 2, Pg 113 - Dean Thomas, who had been sitting with his mouth hanging open, gazing out of the window (in History of Magic), jerked out of his trance (as Hermione asked about the Chamber)...
• Book 2, Pg 115 - "But maybe you've got to be related to Slytherin, so Dumbledore -" began Dean Thomas, but Prof Binns had had enough.
• Book 2, Pg 141 - Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas beckoned them over (to the notice-board with the notice about the Duelling Club), looking excited.
• Book 2, Pg 187 - Dean Thomas, who, like Harry, had grown up with Muggles, ended up closing his eyes and jabbing his wand at the list, then picking the subjects it landed on.
• Book 2, Pg 188 - Harry's stuff has been trashed... As (Harry) and Neville pulled the blankets back onto his bed, Ron, Dean and Seamus came in. Dean swore loudly. "What happened, Harry?"
• Book 2, Pg 198 - Harry and Dean hung onto (Ron's) arms (to stop him attacking Malfoy).
• Book 2, Pg 200 - Lockhart claims the danger has past as the culprit as been taken away... "Says who?" said Dean Thomas loudly.

  ---

• Book 3, Pg 46 - Harry met Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas... in Quality Quidditch Supplies, where they, too, were ogling the Firebolt.
• Book 3, Pg 82 - "What is it, Professor?" said Dean Thomas at once (to Trelawny in Divination after she ssays not to ask)... she says she saw the Grim... Dean Thomas shrugged at (Harry)
  
• Book 3, Pg 91 - "It was Malfoy's fault!" snapped Dean Thomas (to Pansy).
• Book 3, Pg 100 - Lupin gets rid of Peeves by shooting gum up his nose.
  "Cool, sir!" said Dean Thomas in amazement.
• Book 3, Pgs 104-105 - Dean hurried forward. Crack! The eyeball became a severed hand, which flipped over, and began to creep along the floor like a crab. "Riddikulus!" yelled Dean. There was a snap, and the hand was trapped in a mousetrap...
  "Did you see me take on that banshee?" shouted Seamus.
  "And the hand!" said Dean, waving his own around.
• Book 3, Pg 111 - Lavender Brown seemed to be crying, Parvati had her arm around her, and was explaining something to Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas, who were looking very serious.
• Book 3, Pg 114 - Dean Thomas, who was good with a quill, had offered to forge Uncle Vernon's signature on the form...

• Book 3, Pg 128 - "He's (Lupin) the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher we've ever had," said Dean Thomas boldly (to Snape)...

• Book 3, Pg 196 - Dean Thomas lit his lamp.
  "Sirius Black! ... Here! ..." said Ron
  "You sure you weren't dreaming, Ron?" said Dean.
  They all scrambled out of bed.

• Book 3, Pg 313 - The whole of Harry's Defence Against the Dark Arts class were miserable about (Lupin's) resignation. "Wonder what they'll give us next year?" said Seamus Finnegan gloomily.
  "Maybe a vampire," suggested Dean Thomas hopefully.

• Book 4, Ch7 - It was Seamus Finnigan, their fellow Gryffindor fourth year. He was sitting in front of his own shamrock-covered tent, with a sandy-haired woman who had to be his mother, and his best friend, Dean Thomas, also of Gryffindor.
• Book 4, Ch11 - Several of their friends looked in on them as the afternoon progressed, including Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and Neville Longbottom...
• Book 4, Ch11 - Draco Malfoy had appeared in the doorway. Behind him stood Crabbe and Goyle ... Evidently they had overheard the conversation through the compartment door, which Dean and Seamus had left ajar.
• Book 4, Ch12 - Harry, Ron, and Neville climbed up the last, spiral staircase until they reached their own dormitory, which was situated at the top of the tower. Five four-poster beds with deep crimson hangings stood against the walls, each with its owner's trunk at the foot. Dean and Seamus were already getting into bed; Seamus had pinned his Ireland rosette to his headboard, and Dean had tacked up a poster of Viktor Krum over his bedside table. His old poster of the West Ham football team was pinned right next to it. "Mental," Ron sighed, shaking his head at the completely stationary soccer players.
• Book 4, Ch13 - Harry couldn't suppress the suspicion that the whole thing was entirely pointless, because the skrewts didn't seem to have mouths.
  "Ouch!" yelled Dean Thomas after about ten minutes. "It got me."
  Hagrid hurried over to him, looking anxious.
  "Its end exploded!" said Dean angrily, showing Hagrid a burn on his hand.
  "Ah, yeah, that can happen when they blast off," said Hagrid, nodding.
• Book 4, Ch13 - "Aaaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical whisper, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry. . . ."
  Seamus and Dean, who were working nearby, sniggered loudly, though not loudly enough to mask the excited squeals from Lavender Brown -
• Book 4, Ch15 - Moody began to beckon students forward in turn and put the Imperius Curse upon them. Harry watched as, one by one, his classmates did the most extraordinary things under its influence. Dean Thomas hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem.... Not one of them seemed to be able to fight off the curse, and each of them recovered only when Moody had removed it.
• Book 4, Ch15 - "You are now entering a most important phase of your magical education!" she told them, her eyes glinting dangerously behind her square spectacles. "Your Ordinary Wizarding Levels are drawing closer --"
  "We don't take O.W.L.s till fifth year!" s aid Dean Thomas indignantly.
  "Maybe not, Thomas, but believe me, you need all the preparation you can get! Miss Granger remains the only person in this class who has managed to turn a hedgehog into a satisfactory pincushion. I might remind you that your pincushion, Thomas, still curls up in fright if anyone approaches it with a pin!"
• Book 4, Ch16 - Harry led the way over to Dean and Seamus, who were discussing those Hogwarts students of seventeen or over who might be entering. "There's a rumor going around that Warrington got up early and put his name in," Dean told Harry. "That big bloke from Slytherin who looks like a sloth."
• Book 4, Ch18 - "Oh very funny," Hermione said sarcastically to Pansy Parkinson and her gang of Slytherin girls, who were laughing harder than anyone, "really witty."
  Ron was standing against the wall with Dean and Seamus. He wasn't laughing, but he wasn't sticking up for Harry either.
• Book 4, Ch18 - Harry's ears were ringing. The injustice of it made him want to curse Snape into a thousand slimy pieces. He passed Snape, walked with Ron to the back of the dungeon, and slammed his bag down onto the table. Ron was shaking with anger too - for a moment, it felt as though everything was back to normal between them, but then Ron turned and sat down with Dean and Seamus instead, leaving Harry alone at his table.
• Book 4, Ch21 - Lee Jordan had let off some Filibuster's Fireworks, so that the air was thick with stars and sparks; and Dean Thomas, who was very good at drawing, had put up some impressive new banners, most of which depicted Harry zooming around the Horntail's head on his Firebolt, though a couple showed Cedric with his head on fire.
• Book 4, Ch21 - It was nearly one in the morning when Harry finally went up to the dormitory with Ron, Neville, Seamus, and Dean.
• Book 4, Ch21 - "Lovely," said Rita. "Really lovely. Been teaching long?" she added to Hagrid. Harry noticed her eyes travel over Dean (who had a nasty cut across one cheek).
• Book 4, Ch22 - A curly-haired third-year Hufflepuff girl to whom Harry had never spoken in his life asked him to go to the ball with her the very next day. Harry was so taken aback he said no before he'd even stopped to consider the matter. The girl walked off looking rather hurt, and Harry had to endure Dean's, Seamus's, and Ron's taunts about her all through History of Magic.
• Book 4, Ch23 - Harry pulled back the curtains around his four-poster, took his glasses from his bedside table, and put them on. His yell had awoken Ron, Seamus, Dean, and Neville. All of them were peering through the gaps in their own hangings, heavy-eyed and tousle-haired.
  "Someone attacking you, Harry?" Seamus asked sleepily.
  "No, it's just Dobby," Harry muttered. "Go back to sleep."
  "Nah . . . presents!" said Seamus, spotting the large pile at the foot of his bed. Ron, Dean, and Neville decided that now they were awake they might as well get down to some present-opening too.
• Book 4, Ch23 - "Lairy fights, that's the one!" she giggled when they gave the password, and she swung forward to let them inside. Harry, Ron, Seamus, Dean, and Neville changed into their dress robes up in their dormitory, all of them looking very self-conscious, but none as much as Ron, who surveyed himself in the long mirror in the corner with an appalled look on his face. There was just no getting around the fact that his robes looked more like a dress than anything else. In a desperate attempt to make them look more manly, he used a Severing Charm on the ruff and cuffs. It worked fairly well; at least he was now lace-free, although he hadn't done a very neat job, and the edges still looked depressingly frayed as the boys set off downstairs.
  "I still can't work out how you two got the best-looking girls in the year," muttered Dean.
  "Animal magnetism," said Ron gloomily, pulling stray threads out of his cuffs.
• Book 4, Ch23 - Harry tripped over his dress robes as he stood up. The Weird Sisters struck up a slow, mournful tune; Harry walked onto the brightly lit dance floor, carefully avoiding catching anyone's eye (he could see Seamus and Dean waving at him and sniggering), and next moment, Parvati had seized his hands, placed one around her waist, and was holding the other tightly in hers.
• Book 4, Ch24 - Malfoy put his hand inside the pocket of his robes and pulled out a folded page of newsprint. "There you go," he said. "Hate to break it to you. Potter. ..." He smirked as Harry snatched the page, unfolded it, and read it, with Ron, Seamus, Dean, and Neville looking over his shoulder. It was an article topped with a picture of Hagrid looking extremely shifty.
