Daniel Cohen

**Daniel Cohen** (b. 29 March, 2004) was a Muggle-born wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft in Wizardry from 2015 to 2022. He was in the same year as Eukhilda "Hilda" Granger-Weasley and James Potter II, likewise a Gryffindor. He was good friends with James as the two shared dormitories. Daniel could often be seen cheering on James during Quidditch matches, and was a frequent visitor when James was placed in the hospital wing.

Daniel had a huge interest for music that he earned from his father who played in a muggle indie band in the 80s. Daniel played both guitar and sang many songs, usually those made by Taylor Swift who was one of his favourite songwriters, even naming his pet ferret after her.

During the summer of 2019, Daniel and his family moved to Winchester after the tragic death of the children's father. Unbeknownst to Daniel, his family moved right next to the Granger-Weasley family. He finally became acquainted with Hilda, who had been his crush since their first year.

Hilda and Daniel ended up writing a song together called "New Neighbourhood Kid", throughout a few weeks of their summer break. The two later began dating during their fifth year, and created a band together that they called The Winchester Rats, their pet ferrets being the main attraction.
