=== [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban|Prisoner of Azkaban]] ===
 
Lavender, along with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Parvati Patil|Parvati Patil]], is particularly intrigued by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination class]], and almost starts worshiping [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sybill Trelawney|Professor Trelawney]] when she correctly predicts that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]] will break some of her teacups. At the first [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination]] class, Professor Trelawney tells Lavender, "That thing you are dreading? It will happen on October 16th." On October 16, Lavender receives word that her pet bunny had been killed, and we see that Lavender has reshaped the prediction retroactively in her own mind so that it refers to this event: while she admits that she had not been dreading Binky's death, and that it had not actually happened on the 16th, she still resents [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]]'s questioning of whether the prediction that Trelawney had made had actually come to pass.
 
Another thing that Trelawney had predicted was that "near Easter time, one of our number will leave us forever." Immediately after Easter break, as they are starting crystal balls, Trelawney claims to see the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Grim|Grim]] in Harry's crystal ball. This getsangers Hermione angry, and she and Trelawney exchange words, as a result of which Hermione drops Divination. Lavender and Parvati immediately accept this as fulfillment of Trelawney's earlier prediction.
 
It is mentioned that Lavender and Parvati seem to spend almost all of their free time up in Trelawney's tower after that.

Lavender and Parvati Patil are seen hugging each other and crying quietly as Professor Trelawney is sacked by a cheerfully sarcastic Umbridge.
 
The following day, Lavender and Parvati suggest that Hermione should now be sorry that she had given up Divination, as the new teacher is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Firenze|Firenze]]. Hermione says that she was nonot terribly fond of horses, and Lavender, indignant, says that he isn't a horse, he's a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Centaur|Centaur]]. Hermione dismisses this, saying he still has four legs. Lavender says also that she and Parvati had gone to see Professor Trelawney and had found that she was distraught, still, and was saying that she would prefer to leave the school.
 
Lavender tells Ron that Firenze will be teaching in Classroom Eleven, on the ground floor, as he cannot manage the ladders that lead up to the tower. Reaching the classroom, everyone is surprised to see that it has been turned into a replica of a clearing in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Forbidden Forest|Forbidden Forest]]. Although Lavender is likely as upset by Firenze's abrupt dismissal of all Trelawney's teachings as Parvati, she says nothing.
Dòng 74:
At breakfast, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] is handing out timetables. Lavender asks who is teaching Divination; told that Professor Trelawney is teaching the sixth-year students, Lavender and Parvati seem somewhat discouraged.
 
After a particularly terrible Quidditch match, Ron and his sister [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] have a row after he and Harry accidentally walk in on her snogging [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dean Thomas|Dean Thomas]] in a Hogwarts hallway. They have a screaming match in which Ginny accuses Ron of having absolutely no experience with girls. Since Ron is still smarting from watching [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] being singled out by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Viktor Krum|Viktor Krum]] in ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'', and their ongoing pen-pal relationship, he respondsstarts responding to Lavender's advances. Their relationship is publicly and intensely physical – Harry at one point compares it to a vertical wrestling match, and at another point wonders which of several hands he can see belongs to whom. This causes a huge rift between Hermione and Ron that lasts several months during their 6th year.
 
Lavender Brown is something of a scatterbrain, however, and has absolutely no idea what Ron is thinking when they are apart. For example, at Christmas, Lavender sends Ron a gold necklace with letters spelling out "My Sweetheart"; Ron is repulsed by it. Ron eventually realizes that he needs more from a relationship than just snogging.

As Lavender Brown returns to Hogwarts to finish her seventh year there, we see very little of her in this book. She is one of the members of Dumbledore's Army who are found to be living in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Room of Requirement|Room of Requirement]] when Harry gets back to Hogwarts.
 
As Harry, Ron, and Hermione escape the castle on their way to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Shrieking Shack|the Shrieking Shack]], they see Lavender, who has just fallen from a balcony in the Entry Hall, attacked by a grey blur that Harry at first takes for an animal. Hermione jinxes the blur, which Harry now recognizes as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fenrir Greyback|Fenrir Greyback]]. Fenrir is then knocked unconscious by a flying crystal ball, sent his way by Sybill Trelawney.<!-- To the editor who keeps adding that Lavender later dies: whether or not that is mentioned elsewhere, it is not in the book, and therefore not part of our work here. -->
Dòng 102:
Throughout the series, Lavender is best friends with Parvati Patil.
 
Taken in by Professor Trelawney's "Divination," Lavender is seen to be almost hero-worshiping Trelawney starting from the first few Divination classes. She seems to transfer some of her affections to Firenze when he takes over teaching Divination.
 
In her relationship with Ron, she seems to be more attached to an image of him than to him; she has no idea what he would actually like for Christmas, for instance. This relationship, which is intensely physical, is also marked by jealousy on Lavender's part. It seems that she is in love with the idea of having a boyfriend who is a prefect, rather than with Ron himself.
 
== Analysis ==
 
Lavender is very much a minor character, playing at best a supporting role in the story; it is to the author's credit that she is so well written as a character. There is little need, if any, in the story line, to have her express so much interest in Divination, or to so clearly have become best friends with Parvati Patil. In the overall scheme of things, the entire affair between Ron and Lavender is unnecessary to the main plot line of the story. The author, however, has chosen to write the story against a fully believable backdrop of what happens to teenagers as they mature, and of course the sort of romantic entanglements we see with Ron and Lavender are a large part of that maturation. The additional details allow the reader to mentally flesh out the character, so that while Lavender may be dismissed to some extent as important to the story, the reader still cares about her as a person, and is concerned about her survival and possible injuries in the final battle.
 
Hermione comments at one point that Ron has "the emotional depth of a teaspoon." It is perhaps for this reason that Lavender is portrayed, at least in her relationship with Ron, to be almost equally shallow. Perhaps this is a necessary stage in Ron's maturation, as it causes him to recognize the value of Hermione's more mature outlook. It is possible that, just as the author felt there had to be a major event, such as a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Troll|mountain troll]], to knock Hermione out of her "grind" character [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 10|in the first book]], equally Lavender is the major relationship event that awakens some emotional awareness in Ron.

It is interesting that in a clever twist by the author, it is Hermione who saves Lavender from being mauled by Greyback, in spite of Lavender being in direct competition with Hermione for Ron's affections throughout the course of ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince''.
 
There is significant debate as to whether Greyback was in his Werewolf shape or not when Lavender was attacked; much of the debate appears on the [[Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 32|talk page]] for that chapter. One major factor arguing against his being Transformed is the author's habit of never naming characters Harry has not been introduced to, and he has never seen Greyback transformed. TheHe has seen Greyback in his human form, and had him named, in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 27|previous book]], so the immediate identification of Greyback would imply strongly that Greyback is in his human shape. Against this, there is the description of Greyback as a "grey blur", and the fact that nothinglittle in the text rules out Fenrir (and Lupin) being transformed. While it is true that that the given date for the battle of Hogwarts, May 2nd, 1998, according to the lunar calendar is not a full moon, we must discount this as evidence due to earlier lack of correlation between the Hogwarts lunar cycle and ours, as mentioned in ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban''. Finally, however, it is mentioned elsewhere that Lupin met his death while dueling with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Antonin Dolohov|Dolohov]], which would not be a description of what he was doing were he transformed. As we see in ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'', however, Lupin does not transform until the light of the full moon actually hits him; despite the moon being fully up, he does not transform in the Shrieking Shack, only when he emerges from the tunnel, so it is just possible that he has somehow managed to battle the Death Eaters without ever being exposed to moonlight.
