The loud snap was heard by the neighbourhood, including Harry. Figg had stationed Tibbles to watch Mundungus in case he left. When she heard that he had, she was very upset. She left her house to track down Harry, who had left the house to hang out in the local park.

In his absence, Harry was attacked by dementors with his cousin Dudley Dursley. He survived by using a Patronus Charm which drew the attention of the Ministry of Magic, who would put Harry on trial for breaking the International Statute of Secrecy. When he returned, he was surprised to find Figg had revealed the truth to Harry. She shouted at him for leaving, informing him about the dementors to his shock. He tried to defend his decision, telling her it was a good business opportunity causing her to hit him with cat food. He looked awkward, knowing he had to tell Dumbledore what had happened. He left by Disapparating, with Figg hoping Dumbledore would murder him for it.

The **Hut-on-the-Rock** is a perched hut in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*. Vernon, Petunia, Dudley Dursley and Harry Potter stay a night at the hut in order to stop Harry getting an acceptance letter for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## History

For his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter received his acceptance letter. When his guardians tried to stop him reading it, he kept receiving letterd over six days. Vernon Dursley started taking Petunia, Dudley and Harry from place to place to avoid being found.

He eventually found the Hut-on-the-Rock. He thought witches and wizards couldn't cross water so he purchased the hut to stay until the sender gave up. Vernon took rations but he only had a packet of crisps and a banana each for the four of them. He rowed over to the broken house, and Petunia set up a nice bed for Dudley.

The evening of the 30 July, a huge storm hit the hut. However, at midnight on 31 July which is Harry's birthday, Rubeus Hagrid knocked down the door. He had an acceptance letter and birthday cake for Harry but Vernon was angry and held a gun to Hagrid. Hagrid broke it, and informed Harry that he was a wizard and he found out what actually happened to James and Lily Potter. Hagrid made a hearty meal for Harry to eat, and then he stayed the night. Harry and Hagrid then left the hut together the next day, and Vernon, Petunia and Dudley went home to Privet Drive.

## Appearance

The hut is perched on a rock and has the look of being broken. It only has two rooms, one being the main bedroom and the other being a living room. It has dark windows and cracks in the wall from which the wind breaks in. The door is later knocked down.

Mr Longbottom

**Mr Longbottom** was a character in *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*.

He was a pure-blood wizard. He was the husband of Augusta Longbottom, father of Frank Longbottom and grandfather of Neville Longbottom. He was born into an ancient pure-blood family. He probably died before September 1991, because Neville only speaks of Augusta and their other family at home. Neville saw him die and understood it, because he could see thestrals.

## Behind the scenes

* He could have had a brother, Algie, who was Neville's great-uncle. However Algie could be a brother of Augusta, or related to Neville through Alice instead.

## Notes and sources

1. ↑ In *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, Neville only speaks of Augusta being at home, and never a grandfather so he had probably died by then. In *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*, Chapter 21 which takes place in 1996, Neville says he saw him die and that's how he can see thestrals, so he had to be at an age in which he could understand it.

## Book information

### First appearance

*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*

### Last appearance

*Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*

**Mr and Mrs Granger** are the Muggle parents of Hermione Granger. They are both dentists and very proud of their daughter. They first appear in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*.

Toward the end of the Second Wizarding War, Hermione changes their memories to protect them and they forget they even have a daughter. During that time, they are called Wendall and Monica Wilkins and live in Australia.

## Biography

Mr and Mrs Granger both worked in dentistry. They had their only child, Hermione Granger in September 1979. During her childhood, Mr and Mrs Granger took her camping to the Forest of Dean. Around the time of Hermione's eleventh birthday, they found out that she was a witch and that she was accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was a surprise to the family, but they were very proud.

In the summer of 1992, they had to purchase new books for her second-year at Hogwarts. They were introduced to the Weasley family at Gringotts, and Arthur Weasley was fascinated by the currency they were exchanging for wizarding currency. He then invited them to go the Leaky Cauldron for a chat and an hour later, they headed to Flourish and Blotts. During Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing, Lucius Malfoy and Arthur argued, and Lucius glanced at them in contempt and scorned Arthur for being in their company. Mr and Mrs Granger watched their fight apprehensively, and were shocked and frightened by what they saw. They parted ways at the pub later that day.

In the summer of 1993, they took Hermione to holiday in France. They agreed to let her stay at the Leaky Cauldron for the evening of 31 August, because Harry and Ron were staying there.

## Behind the scenes

* Mr or Mrs Granger had to have had a Squib ancestor in order for Hermione to be a witch.

International Statute of Secrecy

The **International Statute of Secrecy** is a wizarding law designed to safeguard and conceal the wizarding world from the Muggle world. It was passed into law in the 17th century.

## Foundation

Centuries ago, the wizarding world lived openly and peacefully with the Muggle world. However, Muggles later began to fear their magic and persecuted witches and wizards. Younger witches and wizards were prone to being killed by witch hunters because they had less control of their magic, while other Muggles wanted witches and wizards to use magic for their own personal gain.

Wizardkind stopped feeling safe like they used to. They stopped offering to help their Muggle neighbours, and eventually decided to separate their world and live in secret. The International Confederation of Wizards proposed an International Statute of Secrecy in 1689. It was passed and enforced in 1692.

When it was signed, witches and wizards began putting "their own small communities within a community" like a small Muggle village or hamlet, near tolerant Muggles who could be confunded if they saw anything. Places they created are Tinworth in Cornwall, Godric's Hollow in the West Country, Ottery St Catchpole in Devon and Upper Flagley by York.

## History

In 1692, the International Statute of Secrecy was passed. It had lots of support in the wizarding world but there were people who tried to refuse it for a number of reasons. For example, the Malfoy family had powerful connections in the Muggle world. Carlotta Pinkstone campaigned in against the law by breaking it on purpose.

In 1932, a Common Welsh Green appeared on a beach in Devon. It was known as the Ilfracombe Incident. Gellert Grindelwald opposed the law and started a war in order to seize control of the wizarding world and overturn it. He planned to put the Muggles back in their supposed place for their "own good". He was stopped when he was defeated by Albus Dumbledore.

Before starting their second year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley broke the law when they flew a flying car to school. It was noticed by several Muggles when the Invisibility Booster malfunctioned. They were fortunate to get detention rather than get expelled.

Three years later, Harry was suspected of breaking the Statute of Secrecy when he used the Patronus Charm in the presence of his cousin, Dudley Dursley.

In the cellar is a trapdoor which leads to hundreds of stone steps going down to a secret passageway. The passageway leads to Hogwarts Castle.

## History

During his third-year, Ron Weasley was looking forward to going to Hogsmeade so he could visit Honeydukes. He told Harry Potter and Hermione Granger about the shop and their products even though Hermione was trying to talk about Hogsmeade's history.

In October, Ron and Hermione purchased a foray of bright-coloured sweets including black Pepper Imps for Harry, who couldn't go to Hogsmeade. The shop had a new kind of fudge and were giving free samples to customers.

In December, Hermione wanted to go and purchase Toothflossing Stringmints for her parents. Harry was given the Marauder's Map and snuck into Hogsmeade using the secret passageway which led to Honeydukes' cellar. He found Ron and Hermione at the "Unusual Tastes" wall. The shop had a sign pinned to the door warning villagers to do their shopping before nightfall because Dementors would be patrolling.

In February, Fred and George Weasley snuck into Hogsmeade and got products including Peppermint Toads for a party their school house was holding at Hogwarts.

Gladys Gudgeon

**Gladys Gudgeon** is a character in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* and *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*. She is a witch and a fan of Gilderoy Lockhart who sends lots of fanmail to him.

During his second year, Harry Potter helped Lockhart respond to one of her letters. She had sent enough letters by then that he knew who she was, telling Harry Potter that she is huge fan. She continued to support Lockhart after he suffered memory loss and sent letters when he was at St. Mungo's Hospital. Lockhart had no idea why and thought it could be because he was very good-looking.

Inner Eye

"*The Inner Eye does not See upon command!*"
— Sybill Trelawney

The **Inner Eye** (or the Sight) is a natural born skill a Seer uses to see into the future. It is first introduced in *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*.

## About

The Inner Eye is a natural skill which can't be taught. Studying Divination will only take a person so far. If they don't possess the Inner Eye, they will never truly be able to see into the future. Being a Seer involves piecing together what Signs they have seen to interpret what is going to happen. A Sight doesn't happen upon command. Clearing their Inner Eye so that they can See by relaxing their conscious mind and physical eyes is key to getting into their superconscious.

Learned Seers are highly skilled at using their Inner Eye in comparison to those who haven't studied their gift. Sybill Trelawney was awful at using her Inner Eye and her insights were considered "wooly" and "fraudulent" but she did give accurate insights. She told her students having an Inner Eye could be a burden and had once hoped she was wrong about the Signs she had saw.

## History

Cassandra Trelawney and her great-great granddaughter, Professor Sybill Trelawney were known Seers.

In September 1993, Sybill told her new third-year students in Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, how she doesn't go down into the crowds of the school because it clouded her Inner Eye. Ron later joked Harry's Inner Eye needed tested when he gave a bad interpretation of Ron's tea leaves. Trelawney later told Professor McGonagall how she doesn't speak of her Inner Eye every time she knows things, because she doesn't want to be nervous of her.

Hinkypunk

A **Hinkypunk** is a creature in *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban* and *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*.

## About

Hinkypunks are one-legged and have a wispy, frail appearance. They lure travellers into bogs by hopping ahead of them holding a lantern. When the traveller follows the light into the bog, it pounces. They deliberately try to guide people the wrong way.

## History

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the creature is taught in third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts. In December 1993, Professor Lupin captured a Hinkypunk and explained to the class what it could do. It then pounced at the glass and did a loud squelching noise. Harry Potter had thought it looked rather frail and harmless.

In June 1994, Lupin's third-year class had to try and ignore a Hinkypunk in their examination. It tried to encourage every student to go the wrong way on an obstacle course. Ron failed and ended up getting trapped in boggy land.

They tortured them with the Cruciatus Curse until they went insane. The four were eventually captured and put on trial where they were sentenced to Azkaban for life.

In June 1996, the Lestranges' were broken out of Azkaban to participate in the Second Wizarding War. By then, they had a vault in Gringotts which had a lot of money and valuable objects in it. Bellatrix was killed two years later at the Battle of Hogwarts. It's unknown what happened to Rabastan and Rodolphus but they were likely sentenced to Azkaban if they survived. Rodolphus and Bellatrix never had children. It's unknown if Rabastan did.

Magizoology

**Magizoology** is the study of magical animals in the wizarding world, with the term **magizoologists** given to witches and wizards who work in this field. Many of them will work in a sub-speciality focusing on the study of one animal in particular. Newton Scamander was a very famous magizoologist who wrote *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*. It first appeared in *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*.

## Overview

### Magizoologist

The witches and wizards who work in the field of magizoology were given the term magizoologist (or in fewer cases, wizarding naturalist). The subject Care of Magical Creatures was given at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for people who wanted to learn about magical creatures and it was an important O.W.L. grade for anyone who wanted to pursue a profession in magizoology.

#### Known magizoologists

Newton ScamanderCharlie Weasley
 (worked with dragons)Luna Lovegood
* Rolf Scamander

### Ministry of Magic classifications

The Ministry of Magic awarded a classification for each magical animal in order to determine the dangerousness of each beast, spirit and being, which may be higher than others:

* XXXXX - known witch or wizard killer that will be impossible to train or domesticate
* XXXX - dangerous, only a skilled wizard with specialist knowledge should approach
* XXX - a competent wizard should cope
* XX - harmless and may be domesticated
* X - boring

### Books on magizoology

* Dragon-Breeding for Pleasure and Profit
* Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland
* From Egg to Inferno: a Dragon-Keeper's Guide
* The Monster Book of Monsters
* Why I Didn't Die When the Augurey Cried

## Behind the scenes

* The Muggle variant of magizoology is zoology. If a person studies an animal that many consider to be extinct and yet people claim to have seen them, they study a field called cryptozoology.
* The word "magizoology" is the combination of the words "magic" and "zoology".

Justin Finch Fletchley's mother

The name of this article is based upon canon terminology because the topic does not have a given name. If it does receive one, please update the article.

## Book information

### First appearance

*Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* (only appearance)

This **woman** is a character in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*. She is a Muggle who has at least one child, Justin Finch-Fletchley, who is a Muggle-born wizard.

Having hoped for Justin to attend Eton, she was upset when he wasn't upon finding out he was a wizard. She was cheered up when he gave her Gilderoy Lockhart's books and she saw how useful having a wizard in the family would be.

Keeper

"*I have to fly around our hoops and stop the other team from scoring.*"
— Oliver Wood[src]

The **Keeper** is a player in wizarding sport of Quidditch in the *Harry Potter book series* and *Quidditch Through the Ages*. They defend their team's goalposts from Chasers scoring goals using the Quaffle, worth ten points each. Each team has one Keeper.

## About

The Keeper flies goalpost to goalpost defending it by stopping the Chasers throwing the Quaffle through it.

Until 1620, the Keeper could fly anywhere on the pitch and score goals of their own. However, when the scoring area was introduced, they had to stay in that area of the pitch. In 1884, a new rule banning Stooging was passed. Stooging is when two Chasers hold the Keeper back so that the third Chaser could score a goal. Doing so now is going to grant the opposing side a "Stooging penalty".

Keeper tactics included the Double-Eight Loop and Starfish with Stick. At the first Quidditch World Cup in 1473, a team attempted the decapitation of the opposing side's Keeper. In a 15th century play, "Hélas, Je me suis Transfiguré Les Pieds", a character chooses to be a Keeper instead of taking a cow to market.

Professor McGonagall sent Harry a Nimbus 2000 and he and Ron head out to open it.

Draco bumped into them and berates Harry for having a broomstick because first-years don't have permission to bring one. He tells Professor Flitwick who informed Draco that Harry had special permission. That evening, he and Oliver Wood practice together and tells Harry about the sport of Quidditch. Harry found out he will be a Seeker who had to catch a Golden Snitch to win.

In a Charms lesson, Professor Flitwick teaches "Wingardium Leviosa". Hermione was condescending towards Ron because he was pronouncing it wrong and he later says a mean comment to Harry about her.

Fluffy

**Fluffy** is a character in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*. He is a three-headed dog that belongs to Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid loans Fluffy to Albus Dumbledore to protect the Philosopher's Stone.

## Biography

Fluffy was purchased by Rubeus Hagrid from a Greek chap in a pub, prior to September 1991. Dumbledore wanted to hide the Philosopher's Stone from any would-be thief, suspecting Voldemort of attempting to procure it. Hagrid loaned Fluffy to Dumbledore for the purpose of guarding it.

Fluffy was kept in a section of the third-floor corridor, guarding a trapdoor that led to the underground chambers. The door to that section of the corridor could only be opened using advanced charms, e.g. the Unlocking Charm. In September, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom were running away from Argus Filch when they hid in the corridor. They were shocked to find a vicious-looking dog growling at them, and run out of the room immediately. Harry, Ron and Hermione spent ages wondering what Fluffy was guarding.

Later, Professor Quirrell hatched a plan to get past Fluffy and let a troll into the school. He was trying to sneak away to the third-floor corridor when no-one was looking but Professor Snape saw him and suspected he was heading towards Fluffy. Snape intercepted him and Quirrell gave up, but in the process, Snape was bitten on the leg by the dog.

In April 1992, Hagrid was manipulated and told Quirrell and Voldemort that the dog could only be put to sleep by playing the flute. Then in June, Quirrell and Voldemort enchanted a flute to play a song and once Fluffy was sleeping, they went through the trapdoor. Before the enchanted flute stopped playing the tune, Harry, Ron and Hermione went through the door because they had deduced that the Philosopher's Stone was going to be stolen that evening.

Fluffy had fulfilled the purpose he was needed when the school year was over, and Hagrid let him be free in the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore was not very happy about that and sent Fluffy to Greece.

## Appearance

Fluffy is a huge dog with three heads with two pairs of rolling mad yellow eyes and fangs.
