Padma Patil is a character from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, known for being a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and a member of Ravenclaw House. She is the twin sister of Parvati Patil, who is in Gryffindor, and while Padma has a relatively minor role in the series, she is still a notable figure. Padma is described as having long, dark hair and a more reserved, intelligent demeanor compared to her lively twin. During Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Padma attends the Yule Ball with Ron Weasley, though their awkwardness at the event highlights her quiet nature. Padma is also part of Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, standing against Voldemort's forces. Though not at the forefront of the battle, she shows her loyalty and bravery by joining the DA and fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts. Padma’s quiet intelligence and loyalty to her friends, especially her twin, stand out in the books.
