Patil Sisters

Parvati and Padma Patil

Harry Potter characters that are of East Indian heritage and who appear in both book and film. Since they are twins I placed them together on this lens.

BEWARE, there may be some spoilers on this page if you haven't read the books but nothing that gives away what ultimately happens to Harry Potter in The Deathly Hallows. If you have any triva to add, please contact the lensmaster.
