Here are the 10 playable students. Left to right, top row first;
Tom Riddle, 4th year Slytherin, who goes on to be Lord Voldemort, the big bad guy in Harry's day.
Caddock Diggory, 4th year Hufflepuff, father of Amos and grandfather of Cedric Diggory, who gets killed by Wormtail and a deformed baby Voldemort thing in The Goblet of Fire.
Myrtle Beelicus, 2nd year Ravenclaw, who ends up as the ghost Moaning Myrtle. She's killed by a monster under Tom Riddle's control during the next school year.
Rubeus Hagrid, 2nd year Griffindor, who gets blamed for Myrtle's death and expelled. He'll eventually be Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts, and a good friend of Harry Potter's.
Eileen Snape, 5th year Slytherin, mother of Severus Snape, the anti-hero of the series.
Minerva McGonagall, 5th year Griffindor, eventually Professor McGonagall, the Transfiguration teacher.
Antonin Dolohov, 4th year Slytherin, a friend of Tom's and the first in his little army, The Death Eaters.
Kanton Shacklebolt, 6th year Griffindor, father of Kingsley, who is a hero and Minister of Magic at the end of The Deathly Hallows.
Olive Hornby, 2nd year Ravenclaw, who will discover Myrtle's body in the next year. She's haunted by Moaning Myrtle for a long time.
Pamona Sprout, 3rd year Hufflepuff, eventually Professor Sprout, the Herbology teacher.

Technically its Wormtail that kills Cedric since Voldy was just a deformed baby thing during that part in the book.
Will there be any secret characters or stuff like Dumbledore as well?

Galatea Merrythought, Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor
Armando Dippet, Headmaster
Albus Dumbledore, Transfiguration Professor
These are the bosses, non-selectable.
-
Dippet looks absolutely fantastic in that suit.
-
I completely support you in this project. You seem to have put a lot of thought into the development.
-
I think Hagrid should be a little bigger, seeing as he's half-giant and all...
-
You should put bigger beard on Dumbledore, in the Harry Potter series in the 2nd part you can see how long was his beard in Tom Riddle's flashback scene
-
In the character's coding, I use the scale attribute to make Hagrid bigger, even though his sprites are the same size. You're right, though; His portrait on the select screen should be bigger, too. I'll do that.
Dumbledore's beard reaches his waist, but it's difficult to see against his suit. I'll see if I can change it...
Thanks for the input!
-
looking forward to the release!
-
Speaking of which I'm surprised that Voldemort's not been considered as a secret, Akuma-style character.

Voldemort is well known in the wizard world, so why would he be secret? In the Harry Potter series you always expect him to jump out somewhere
-
Good point that. :P
-
What does "Akuma-style" mean? Tom Riddle's in his fourth year, and by the book he's probably already calling himself Lord Voldemort, but he'd look pretty much the same.
Maybe a hidden palette with red eyes or something? I've made MK characters with hold-the-start-button pallettes and like a zillion palno triggers in the code, giving them unique moves. Something like that?
-
Something like that, yeah.
-
I dig the hidden Voldemort idea, I may pursue that. Thanks.
I have, in some capacity, been working on this game for a year, but the HP universe is already fleshed out in pretty intense detail and so I can't really claim credit for it's development.
Thanks for the feedback, though...
-
Double-posting, so there.
Here's the full cast, including the Voldemort palette and the house elves, unless anyone has any suggestions to the contrary.

Looks like a great cast! might i suggest you change "Voldemort"s eyes to red, to add to the effect?
-
Thanks, but it's a poor screenshot; His eyes are red.

Behold, the Tom palettes. Hold start and press Curse to be Voldemort, who has different spells available to him and his bars charge faster, but he takes greater damage than Tom...

Ah! Great job with the sprites!

If any of you are Potter fans, you're probably aware of Rowling's new website, Pottermore.com. It's essentially like a bunch of expanded universe stuff, fleshing out the world these characters live in. It's still in beta, so you can't just go and poke around.
This is all important, though, because it affects the canon of this game. It was assumed, but never claimed in the books, that McGonagall was in school with Tom Riddle. The Harry Potter wiki and Mugglenet.com both claimed this, and even had elaborate equations to back it up. Pottermore has a more complete history of Minerva, though, and it's now clear that she's much older, and was not a student in 1942. Neither was Pamona Sprout.
Should I replace these characters to match what is now the actual history? And if so, with who?
Any suggestions?

I doubt anyone will really care. Just go with what you found in the books.
-
I like this answer.
Thanks!
-
honestly, go with what you planned. its based of your interpretation, plus i doubt unless youve got an extremely butthurt fan of the series that anyone would complain
if you try to change it, its possible things could get screwed up story wise (in terms of the game)

Every character intro...

The last three are bosses, not selectable, but the Mugen community knows how semi-colons and select screens work, so they've got intros and endings, too. These are animated; The portraits move, the candle burns, the text prints.
More to come...

Me again.
This is already a fairly old image, but I'm not sure if I've shown it off here before. It's a win screen. The portrait fades in from a blank background, and astute viewers might catch my shout to Cyanide.
