A loyal stooge to Voldemort, the cowering man named Peter Pettigrew ended up being a very significant character as we delved further into the story. He faked his own death by evolving into a rat (which turned out to be Ron’s pet for 12 years). Upon Voldemort’s official regeneration, Pettigrew morphed back into the slimy, creepy, cunning man many knew him to be. “Wormtail” — as he was known by his former friends — ultimately double-crossed Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin. While not a beloved character by any stretch, he was fascinating nonetheless.
