Padma Patil is a minor character in the Harry Potter series.

Canon

Padma is a Ravenclaw student, the identical twin of Gryffindor Parvati Patil. Her most significant appearance in the series comes when she attends the Yule Ball with Ron Weasley in the fourth book. In the fifth book, she is a member of Dumbledore's Army.

Padma is portrayed with somewhat more prominence in the films than in the books. In the movies, she is a Gryffindor rather than a Ravenclaw and seems to have replaced Lavender Brown as Parvati's best friend. For the sixth film, Lavender resurfaces as herself but only for the romance arc with Ron.

Fandom

Pavarti/Padma twincest is popular. Other pairings include Harry/Padma, Ron/Padma, Hermione/Padma, and Pansy/Padma.
