Seamus Finnigan (b. c. 1980) was an Irish half-blood wizard, son of Muggle Mr Finnigan and Irish witch Mrs Finnigan. Mr Finnigan did not learn this until after they were married, and it gave him a "nasty shock" when he first learned it.
Seamus was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was also the best friend of Dean Thomas. Seamus originally doubted Harry Potter's claim that Lord Voldemort had returned in 1995 (as his mother doubted it). However, late in 1995, he eventually joined Dumbledore's Army, the organisation taught and led by Harry Potter. Seamus joined after apologising to Harry.
In 1997, he continued his seventh year of education at Hogwarts, although the school was under the control of Voldemort. Seamus remained in the D.A. and fought bravely in the Battle of Hogwarts. It is currently unknown what he did after the Second Wizarding War.
Seventh year
Professor McGonagall: "Why don't you confer with Mr Finnigan? As I recall, he has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics."
Seamus: "I can bring it down!"

While Harry, Ron, and Hermione were gone searching for Voldemort's Horcruxes, Seamus returned to the Death Eater-controlled Hogwarts for his seventh year. He greatly missed his best friend Dean Thomas, who was forced to go on the run because of his presumed Muggle-born status. Seamus was part of the restored Dumbledore's Army, who ended up staying in the Room of Requirement to escape the Carrows.
Battle of Hogwarts
"Harry cast more Shield Charms, and Voldemort's would-be victims, Seamus Finnigan and Hannah Abbott, darted past him into the Great Hall, where they joined the fight already flourishing inside it."

When Voldemort's army attacked the castle, Seamus was among many of those who stayed to fight. He was charged with blowing up the Wooden Bridge to prevent Snatchers from entering the school.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Seamus, Luna Lovegood, and Ernie Macmillan saved Harry, Ron, Tom, and Hermione from hundreds of Dementors by casting the Patronus to hold them back, before Harry drove them away with his own. His Patronus was in the form of a fox.
Seamus, Leanne, Katie Bell, and others were also seen being led into battle by Aberforth Dumbledore sometime during the opening stages of the battle.
Seamus was among the students to witness Hagrid carry Harry's "dead" body back to the school grounds, when Neville shouted, "Dumbledore's Army." Seamus was among those in the crowd who roared with cheers, provoking Voldemort.
Afterward, when the second stage of the fighting began, and Lord Voldemort himself had stepped in, Harry saved Seamus and Hannah Abbott's lives when Voldemort had sent a curse their way. Seamus also witnessed Harry Potter's final defeat of Lord Voldemort and the end of the Second Wizarding War.
Later life (1998–)
He survived the Second Wizarding War and was seen sitting with Dean Thomas and Aberforth Dumbledore once the battle had ended.
In the year 2010 or 2011, he purchased a Bloom For You plant from Bewildering Blooms, causing him to be affected by the Mysterious Malady. He was later awoken from the malady after the Bewildering Blooms owner, Yubert Thorne, was imprisoned in Azkaban.
It can be assumed that he attended the 2014 reunion of Dumbledore's Army. After the battle, he most likely kept his D.A. coin as a badge of honour, as did other D.A. members.
During the Calamity that affected the Wizarding World in the 2010s, Seamus appeared as a Foundable, clad in robes for the Gryffindor Quidditch team tryouts. He was pursued by a Fire-breathing chicken, Confoundable, necessitating the usage of the Ebublio Jinx by volunteer members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force to repel the fowl and return his foundable back to its original place.
