Discovered in chapter 6, Talons and Tea Leaves[]

Dean is a Gryffindor student, who attends the Divination class. Like many of his classmates, Dean becomes increasingly interested in the class after Professor Trelawney starts to read Harry's tea leaves, although he is initially unaware of the significance of seeing the Grim.

Discovered in chapter 7, The Boggart in the Wardrobe[]

Dean attends the Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson with his fellow Gryffindors. When he is called forward to face the Boggart, it takes the shape of a severed hand, creeping along the floor like a crab.

Dean is indignant when Professor McGonagall tells the students they need to start preparing for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels, which they don't take until fifth year. He hasn't yet mastered certain Transfiguration practises - the pincushion he Transfigures from a hedgehog still curls up in fright if anyone approaches it with a pin.
