Description
All we knew of him was his name and house, but eight years and five books later (before he appears once again in Deathly Hallows), Blaise Zabini has spawned a small but intense cult-like following, numerous fics, even an identity crisis and a fandom debate that was the minor-character equivalent of the shipping wars. He was not the only minor character Sorted that evening, and he was not the only Slytherin we knew of; but it was he whose identity was formed primarily on the way fandom saw him. The release of DH only added fuel to the fire. With the new canon that we have for Blaise, what more can fandom look forward to?
