Line 199:
* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'':
** In the books and movies, Ginny Weasley in ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (novel)|Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Goblet of Fire]]''. Gradually reverted in the later books, though.
** Colin Creevey had a moderate supporting role in the fourth and fifth books and then vanished entirely until ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', when in only one or two lines it is explained that he {{spoiler|was killed by Death Eaters when Hogwarts was attacked. As a muggle-born (much less a sixth year), he wasn't even supposed to be there, but the author [[Hand Wave|Handwaved]] this by saying that he broke into the school to fight.}}
* Happened to most of the characters from the first series of ''[[Warrior Cats]]''. Characters like Sandstorm, Mistyfoot, Cloudtail and Graystripe (who was also [[Put on a Bus]] for ''three books'') don't make many appearances from the second series onward. Firestar still has a noteworthy presence as Clan leader, but he still isn't as important as the main characters. The second series characters were a bit better about this (except for Tawnypelt, whose purpose in the plot seems to be one of the few cats in ShadowClan who isn't a jerk, and to give birth to relatively important characters, and Stormfur, who has been [[Put on a Bus]] ''twice''), especially with Leafpool, who is still an important character after the end of the second series.
* In ''[[Avalon: Web of Magic]]'', [[The One Guy]] Zach appeared as a major character in the third book, at the end of which he seemed to be an important addition to the team. In books four to eleven, he's lucky if he gets a scene or two, or even a few lines of dialogue. However, the author says that he'll have a bigger role in the sequel trilogy, ''Shadow Warrior'', so he may just be [[Out of Focus]].
