We have put together the Harry Potter alphabet but only using the names of characters from the series. Learn the alphabet using some of the names from the series. We tried to use the biggest name from the series for each one. We only had one rule, it had to be their first name (not their last name) to count. So Harry Potter counts as as ‘H’ but not as ‘P’, if that makes more sense.
