Something I don't understand.....

http://www.ficwad.com is the new site I have started posting to. So far "Lost In Middle Earth" is the main story, along with Gemini Software (http://www.ficwad.com/story/100403) and The Archive (http://www.ficwad.com/story/100467), but there is something that confuses me.

The character list has a character named Malcolm Baddock (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Malcolm_Baddock), who, as far as I can tell, appears in one book. One, single book. In one chapter of one book. In fact, he gets sorted, and I think that is the last we hear of him.

But the character list doesn't have Cedric Diggory. Who, if you remember, does play rather an important part in the series. And who appears not only in one more book, but more than one chapter of more than one book.

So on the one hand we have a character who no one seems to know, but who you can include in the story as a "major character" (they limit you to six characters, so you have to pick the major ones), and on the other hand we have one of the single most important characters in the whole series, who doesn't apparently exist according to them.

It's a tad confusing :)
