Dean Thomas is one of the many fictional supporting characters from the Harry Potter series, a book series created by J.K. Rowling. He is a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and House Gryffindor student, and member of Dumbledore's Army under the leadership of his classmate, Harry Potter.

Dean Thomas attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor, a house known to hold courageous and determined wizards. He was best friends with Seamus Finnigan, and good friends of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, and Ginevra Weasley. He joined Dumbledore's Army, led by Harry Potter. He fought and survived in the battle of Hogwarts, and witnessed the death of Lord Voldemort. His life after the war is unknown.

He was portrayed by Alfred Enoch.

Trivia

• Rowling included information on Dean's background in an early draft of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but ultimately cut it out, as she felt it was an "unnecessary digression." She stated that she had to a certain extent traded Dean's "voyage of discovery" for Neville Longbottom's because the latter character's discoveries about his past were more relevant to the main story.
• His name was "Gary" in early drafts of the first book.
