The **Trio**, sometimes known as the **Golden Trio**, was the popular name given to the gang of three best friends and former Gryffindor students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Trio was made up of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The trio was allied with the Order of the Phoenix, ***Dumbledore's Army***, and Albus Dumbledore in the Second Wizarding War. In their adult lives they helped revolutionise and reform the ***British Ministry of Magic***. They each had a ***Chocolate Frog Card*** in their Honours.Template:Organisation

## Behind the scenes

* Interestingly, the members of the Golden Trio have all three of the blood statuses of the wizarding world as Harry is a half-blood, Ron is a pure-blood, and Hermione is a Muggle-born.
	+ Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter, were pure-blood and Muggle-born respectively, meaning that he is half-blood. Meanwhile, both of Ron's parents, Arthur and Molly Weasley, are pure-blood, leading him to be pure-blood. Lastly, both of Hermione's parents, ***Mr*** and ***Mrs Granger***, are ***Muggle***s, so she is Muggle-born.
* The Trio also differ from each other in appearance. They each have different ***eye*** colours. Harry has green eyes (although portrayed as blue in the films), Ron has blue eyes (although often portrayed as green or brown), and Hermione has brown eyes.
	+ Harry and Ron flipping eye colours in the films can be attributed to a bad reaction Daniel Radcliffe (Harry's actor in the films) had to coloured contacts.
* They not only have differing eye colours, but also various hair colours. Harry has black hair (although portrayed as dark brown in the films), Ron has red hair, and Hermione has brown hair (although portrayed as light brown in the films).
* All three members are related or blood related to the Weasleys, as Ron is a Weasley, Hermione married Ron making her a Weasley by marriage, and Harry married into the Weasley family through Ginny making him an in-law to the Weasley family, as well.
* Each of their wand cores is a core of the wands made in Ollivanders: Hermione's wand's core is dragon heartstring, Ron's first and second wand cores are unicorn hair, and Harry's is phoenix tail feather.
