Minerva McGonagall

Minerva McGonagall is a character from the Harry Potter series.
== Charactah Account ==
Professor of Transfiguration, Deputy Headmistress, and Head of Gryffindor House. Minerva is the third professor Harry encounters (after Hagrid and Quirrell), and he promptly and wisely decides that she is someone "not to be crossed." McGonagall is protective of her students and really dislikes it when Snape wins the Quidditch Cup from under her nose. Though she is stern, she is fair and does have a sense of humour.
Minerva is Dumbledore's right hand, deputy leader of the Order, and a powerful witch in her own right, and she is probably the teacher Harry trusts the most. Her Animagus form is that of a tabby cat with spectacle markings around her eyes, reminiscent of her glasses. She has a fondness for tartan and Ginger Newts. If she walks into a scene and is startled, expect her to drop the stack of books she is always carrying.

== Trivia ==
* The name Minerva means "wise". Minerva is the Roman name of Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom, strategy, war, courage, and justice (among other things), which is a name suitable for Minerva's personality. Also, Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, schools, art and commerce, which could connect to her being one of the heads of Hogwarts.
* McGonagall comes from the Scotsman William Topaz McGonagall, who is considered to be one of the worst poets in the English language, although Rowling stated that this has nothing to do with Minerva, she only liked the surname. The Scottish name McGonagall (or McGonigle, McGonegal) is from the Celtic name Conegal, meaning "the bravest", plus Mc, or "son of".
