History Characters / PuffsThePlay

* DeadGuyJunior: [[Megan and Oliver named him after Wayne, who died in the Battle of Hogwarts. To distinguish between the two, the sequels call him "Little Wayne." In some productions where the narrator is played by a woman, she is named "Wayna."]]

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Much of the narrator's dialogue is delivered this way - even more so when he hands things to the audience, like Rolo candies or [[JustForPun Puffs brand tissues.]]

[[folder:Sally Perks]]
!!Sally Perks
->'''Played by:''' Jessie Cannizzaro

One of the '98 Puffs, who is slightly ditzy and very blind (without glasses).

* BlindWithoutEm: She can barely see without her glasses. Unfortunately, the boys don't give her any attention unless she takes off her glasses.
* CovertPervert: She goes from PrecociousCrush on Wayne to basically jumping his bones in ten seconds flat.
* FlatCharacter: Played with. She's presented as just one in the crowd with little personality or development; her introduction is "I'm Sally Perks and I go to this school!", and when Leanne gives the Puffs the pep talk in Year Seven, Sally is just asked to "remember when you did that thing!" However, she goes through a very clear character arc during the play because her character is also a parody of the BeautifulAllAlong teenage girl who becomes hot just by taking off her glasses. She catches on to the fact that she gets more attention when not wearing her glasses and stops wearing them (even though she is BlindWithoutEm ands keeps having to feel her way everywhere), but then at the final battle in Year Seven she accepts that she ''needs'' glasses and puts them back on in order to fight the Death Buddies. [[spoiler:[[ShaggyDogStory And then she's immediately killed.]]]]
* GirlOfTheWeek: She and Wayne date for a bit in sixth year.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: The sequels reveal that he's done a lot of this thanks to time travel. Surprisingly many crucial plot points were kicked off or inspired by Zach Smith doing one of hie trademark monologues.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: He's never ''intentionally'' mean or callous, and he's usually perfectly friendly to Wayne; he's just totally oblivious as to how he keeps showing others aside and hogging the spotlight..

* TheSmartGuy: Parodied, {{Deconstructed}} and then {{Reconstructed}}. Oliver is a confirmed genius and a ChildProdigy -- when it comes to advanced maths, which wizards don't use much. When it comes to ''magic,'' he's terrible. Throughout the play he's one of the worst students, and to his frustration and despair the teachers treat him like a dunce and he has to take remedial classes in pretty much all the subjects (except Mug Studies, which he naturally aces). Then at the final battle, his math skills finally become useful, and he's acknowledged as the genius he is. In "Nineteen-ish Years After" he's become the official "Math Magician Rocket Scientist" at the Magic Ministry... and spends most of his time trying to hide that he has absolutely no idea what that actually means.

* CompositeCharacter: Combined with AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul in ''[=Puf3s=]''; [[the Headmaster's father, who in canon was Percival Dumbledore, is here revealed to be a time-traveling Zach Smith.]]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:''In Nineteen-ish Years Later.'' in the timeline where Harry was killed in the Battle of Hogwarts, Wayne survived and went on to become a rebel, a leader and a hero who tirelessly fought against the oppressors. When Little Wayne meets up with him and learns his story, and Wayne even comes close to name-dropping the trope.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: A curious version. Wayne thinks that he's the main character of a ChosenOne story about an orphaned destined to become a great hero. While there ''is'' such a story going on around him, Wayne isn't the main character of it. [[Spoiler:He is, in fact, the CannonFodder.]]

One of Wayne's best friends, a nerdy math geek, who is disappointed to learn that there are no math classes. Later, [[spoiler:Megan's love interest and boyfriend]].

* SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler: Kind of, to Wayne, after his death. Wayne accidentally appears in Harry's afterlife scene before Harry does, and though the Headmaster is still expecting Harry, he does take the time to give Wayne some words of comfort and advice about ThePowerOfLove before sending him... on.]

* AscendedExtra: He's only in two scenes in the original play, but in the sequels he gets more to do, ending up playing a crucial role in ''Puf3s: Eventfulness Maximus.''

The captain of the Sports team, a rough leader who likes to occasionally bully those who try out for the team.

* GirlOfTheWeek: Wayne has feelings for her in early years, but after she and Longbottom go to the Yule Ball together, they're never brought up again.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: More JerkWithAHeartOfGold than the [[Jerkass}} of the books.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Says "I'm boyish and sassy!" on a few occasions.

* FieryRedhead: [[spoiler: When Leanne gets pissed, she gets ''pissed.'']]
