Template:HP character Pansy Parkinson (born c. 1980) is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling.

She is a Slytherin in Harry's school year at Hogwarts. Pansy is described as having a hard, pug-like face and she is often seen as Draco Malfoy's female counterpart and apparent love interest. Her first appearance was during the flying lessons in her first year, when Parvati Patil stood up for Neville Longbottom. She was Draco's date at the Yule Ball, during which she wore frilly, pale pink dress robes, and fawned all over him after he injured his arm in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. On the train ride to Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco's head lay in Pansy's lap as she stroked his hair with an expression of smugness. It is stated that she seems to be fond of unicorns. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, she is appointed a Slytherin prefect along with Draco, and later joined the Inquisitorial Squad. She made sure to make the lives of the members of Dumbledore's Army miserable. She was the one who grabbed the list of members of Dumbledore's Army from the Room of Requirement. In one chapter, she gets jinxed, causing antlers to grow out of her head for a day. She is often seen with Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, and, on one occasion, Blaise Zabini. She also can be found taunting and giggling with her gang of Slytherin girls. She enjoys making fun of Hermione Granger, but was stunned when she appeared at the Yule Ball, looking very pretty and accompanied by internationally renowned and celebrated Quidditch player Viktor Krum. Pansy also fed Rita Skeeter false information on Harry, Hermione and Hagrid. Pansy teased her and she shrieked crude remarks about Cedric Diggory, Cho Chang's dead boyfriend, to Cho and Harry when they were dating.

Pansy's bigotry, attitude, and friendships all indicate that she is a Pure-blood; this has not, however, been specifically confirmed in canon. However, if Rowling's classlist, canonical fact, and statements from her that 25% of each Hogwarts year-group are pure-blooded, all hold true, then she cannot be — since the ten pure-bloods in the year are Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Daphne Greengrass, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Lavender Brown, Ernie Macmillan, Stephen Cornfoot and Isabel (Morag) MacDougal. However, since some of these characters have seen their names change, they may well have seen their blood status change also.
