Keeper

> "*I have to fly around our hoops and stop the other team from scoring.*"
> ― Description of the position[source]
>
>

**Keeper** is a position in the Wizarding sport of Quidditch. There is one Keeper per team, and it is their job to guard the three goal posts attempting to stop the other team's Chasers from scoring. The keeper also wears the most protection than any other position, which includes a helmet, shoulder/chest pads and knee pads. This effectively makes them heavier than most of their other team-mates.

## History

The position of the Keeper has existed since around the 13th century, although the role has changed somewhat over time. The Keeper was essentially a Chaser, with the added responsibilities of guarding the posts. However, with the addition of the scoring zone in 1620, Keepers generally kept inside this area in order to prevent the opposition from scoring. Keepers are only allowed out of this area to head off incoming Chasers.

## Traits

Keepers are typically well-built and athletic players who usually stick close to the goal posts where they can deploy their defensive skills to their fullest capacity.
Golpalott's Third Law

> "*The antidote for a blended poison will be equal to more than the sum of the antidotes for each of the separate components.*"
> ― Golpalott's Third Law[source]
>
>

**Golpalott's Third Law** was a law for making antidotes, which appeared to say that the antidote for a blended poison — that is, a poison created by mixing several other poisons together — could not simply be created by finding the antidotes to each separate poison in the blended whole and mixing them together. Instead, as Professor Slughorn explained, the potion maker had to find that single ingredient which, when added to the blended antidotes, transformed them near-alchemically into a combined whole which will counteract the entire blended poison. Simply put, according to this law, a true antidote to a blended poison was more than the sum of its parts. The book *Advanced Potion-Making* contained this law, but did not explain it. It is likely that this law is correct for just some poisons, as Professor

Slughorn once asked his class to consider the law's validity.

## Antidote creation

This law dictates the protocol for making antidotes for all poisons. Creating an antidote following this law may be quite difficult--in the Potions class during which Professor Slughorn asked the class to make antidotes according to Golpalott's Third Law, Hermione Granger made an only half-finished antidote that included fifty-two ingredients, one of them being a chunk of her own hair.

## Classroom work

At Hogwarts, sixth year students studying N.E.W.T.-level Potions class learn to produce antidotes referring to this law, under the instructions of their Potions Master. In the 1996–1997 school year, Hermione Granger "recited **this law** at top speed," upon being asked about it by Professor Slughorn. While the entire class had trouble with concocting the antidote for the practical portion, Harry Potter daringly used a bezoar as his work, gaining praise from Slughorn.

Jobberknoll

The **Jobberknoll** is a small, magical, blue speckled bird.

## Description

The Jobberknoll never makes any noise until the moment before it dies. It then releases a long scream, which consist of every sound it ever heard backwards. It lives in northern Europe and North America and feeds mainly on small insects. Jobberknoll feathers are used as potion ingredients in Truth Serums and Memory Potions.
Hortensia Milliphutt

**Minister Hortensia Milliphutt** was a witch who, from 1841 to 1849, served as Minister for Magic of Britain and Ireland, being elected at least twice but defeated for re election in 1849.

She had the distinction of being the Minister who introduced the most legislation during her term in office. Much of this new legislation was useful, but her political downfall came when she started passing regulations on hat pointiness and other wearisome laws.
Glumbumble

The **Glumbumble** was a magical grey, furry, flying insect which was native to Northern Europe.

## Description

The Glumbumble produced a treacle that induced melancholy in those who consume it. The treacle was used as an antidote to the hysteria caused by eating Alihotsy leaves. Glumbumbles nested in dark and secluded places and fed on nettles. They had been known to infest beehives, which had a disastrous effect on the honey produced.

## History

Glumbumbles were covered in sixth year Care of Magical Creatures class by Professor Silvanus Kettleburn, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1989–1990 school year.
Invisibility cloak

> "*If that's what I think it is — they're really rare, and really valuable.*"
> ― Ron Weasley, commenting on Harry's Christmas present[source]
>
>

An **invisibility cloak** is a magical garment which renders whomever or whatever it covers invisible. Invisibility cloaks are exceptionally rare and valuable within the wizarding world.

## Manufacture

Invisibility cloaks may be woven from the hair of a Demiguise, a magical creature whose coat allows it to become invisible. Invisibility cloaks can also be produced by enchanting an ordinary travelling cloak with an exceptionally strong Disillusionment Charm or Bedazzling Hex.

## Limitations

> "*It's never occurred to me before, but I've heard stuff about charms wearing off cloaks when they get old, or them being ripped apart by spells so they've got holes in. Harry's was owned by his dad, so it's not exactly new, is it, but it's just... perfect!*"
> ― Ron Weasley on the Cloak of Invisibility[source]
>
>

Most invisibility cloaks wear out over time, eventually becoming visible. In addition, cloaks are vulnerable to damage from spells. A notable exception to these unwritten rules was the fabled Cloak of Invisibility, a Deathly Hallow that never seemed to waver in its ability and resisted spells, despite its immense age.

## History

The Tale of the Three Brothers, a wizarding legend, speaks of a Cloak of Invisibility which Xenophilius Lovegood characterised as one which "endures eternally, giving constant and impenetrable concealment, no matter what spells are cast at it." According to the legend, Ignotus Peverell was given the cloak by Death in the 13th century as a reward for having bested him. Whether the legend is true or not, the cloak became a family heirloom and was inherited by Ignotus' descendents, including James Potter and eventually his son, Harry Potter who given it as a gift on Christmas day 1991.

Ron Weasley was the first to speculate that Harry's cloak was one of the Deathly Hallows, since it was at least two generations old. Other invisibility cloaks wear out after similar durations of time, or at the very least become less effective, yet Harry's remained as good as new. Ordinary cloaks would have, over time, become visible, ripped, had their enchantments worn off, or had been countered with other spells.

Invisibility cloaks have existed since the 13th century, with typical invisibility cloaks having been available since at least the 20th century. Alastor Moody owned two invisibility cloaks, lending ones to Mundungus Fletcher and Sturgis Podmore. Barty Crouch Snr owned a cloak as well, hiding Barty Crouch Jr under one when helping him escape Azkaban. He was then forced to wear the cloak in the house when he was controlled by Barty Crouch Snr under the Imperius Curse. Barty Jr would make use of this cloak when he returned to Lord Voldemort's services, keeping himself hidden to intercept and assassinate his father. It is also known that Arthur Weasley hid under one while on guard duty at the Ministry of Magic.
Gryffindor pasteboard

This **board** was in the Gryffindor common room. This noticeboard is where Gryffindor students can post notices and ads.

Sometimes Gryffindors post papers on the board about items that they lost, like a lost-and-found, or they can use it to see if people want to trade Chocolate Frog Cards. At the beginning of the season, the house's Quidditch captain might post a notice for when try-outs are being held, and then on upcoming games and practises. Also students could posts items they wish to sell or trade, teachers could post club information, events or other general information. Occasionally, although rarely, the Head of House might post warnings. In the 1995–1996 school year, High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge posted many Educational Decrees on the board. Everyday the latest copy of *The Daily Prophet* and *The Quibbler* will be pinned to the board if any student wishes to read them.

Ogden's Old Firewhisky

Template:Food and Beverage infobox

> "*I clearly state in chapter twelve that my ideal birthday gift would be harmony between all magic and non-magic peoples — though I wouldn't say no to a large bottle of Ogdens Old Firewhisky!*"
> ― Lockhart mentions Ogden's Old[source]
>
>

**Ogden's Old Firewhisky** was a brand of firewhisky, a wizarding kind of whisky produced by Ogden.

## History

This drink was a favourite of Gilderoy Lockhart, and he told his second year Defence Against the Dark Arts class in 1992 that he would not say no to a bottle for his birthday.

Arthur Weasley also insisted on pouring a bit into a cup of tea made for Molly Weasley after the Riot at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.

Neville and Hannah Longbottom also enjoyed this — according to Rita Skeeter, much more than any teacher or landlady should.

Gouging Spell

> "*The Gouging Spell enables a witch or wizard to carve through earth and stone with ease. From budding Herbologists digging for Snargaluff seedlings to treasure-hunting curse breakers uncovering ancient wizard tombs, the Gouging Spell makes all manner of heavy labour a matter of pointing a wand.*"
> ― Miranda Goshawk, *Book of Spells*[source]
>
>

The **Gouging Spell** (*Defodio*) is a charm used to gouge out specific areas of material, such as earth or stone.

## Effects

It has practical applications, both in digging and in making passageways through solid rock. Careful use of this spell can dig out the required object and leave the environment relatively untouched.

## History

The spell was covered in sixth year Charms classes by Professor Filius Flitwick, at least in the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After Hogwarts, George was a Chaser for Puddlemere United, winning two League Cups. George when on to play Chaser for the English National Quidditch team. After his playing career, George became a Quidditch referee and then  Quidditch commentator before retiring.

George went on to marry his neighbour and childhood friend, Madeleine Bagshot, they had two sons Benjamin Potter and Anthony Potter.
Mudbloods and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society

> "*Beneath the title was a picture of a red rose, with a simpering face in the middle of its petals, being strangled by a green weed with fangs and a scowl. There was no author’s name upon the pamphlet, but again, the scars on the back of his right hand seemed to tingle as he examined it.*"
> ― Harry Potter studying the pamphlet (and assuming its author)[source]
>
>

***Mudbloods and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society*** was a pamphlet that was printed and distributed enmasse by the Ministry of Magic while it was under Lord Voldemort's control during the height of the Second Wizarding War. It was presumably written by Dolores Umbridge, head of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, and contained propaganda against Muggle-borns, disparagingly referred to as "Mudbloods".

## Content and purpose

The pamphlets were pink, with the title in orange letters. Beneath the title was a picture of "a red rose with a simpering face in the middle of its petals, being strangled by a green weed with fangs and a scowl". Evidently, this was the metaphor the Death Eater-controlled Ministry wanted to make regarding Muggle-borns being allowed into the wizarding world, which they believed should be reserved for pure-bloods. Presumably, the pamphlet also perpetrated the bigoted belief that Muggle-borns are inferior to those with wizarding heritage.

Known contents included: "*Mudbloods & the Dangers They Post to the Wizarding World*", "*How to Recognise a Mudblood*", "*What to Do When Faced with Mudbloods*", "*The Importance of a Pure-Blood Society*", details on the Mudbloods Relocation Program, and copies of Ministerial Decree Number 184 and Number 188.

## Production and dissemination

Harry Potter came across a dozen wizards and witches creating hundreds of the pamphlets when he, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger infiltrated the Ministry in September of 1997. Harry suspected that Umbridge was the author. This was partly because one of the manufacturers asked a fellow employee if "*the old hag*" would be "*interrogating Mudbloods all day*", and partly because the scars on the back of his hand, caused by his many punishments by Umbridge in his fifth year, "*seemed to tingle*" as he read the front of the pamphlet.

Its dissemination was part of a larger effort to discriminate against Muggle-borns, which included requiring them to register with the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, stripping them of their wands and jobs, imprisoning them in Azkaban for supposedly stealing magic, and teaching anti-Muggles and Muggle-born propaganda at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which also did not allow any Muggle-born students.

Presumably, this propaganda was no longer produced after Lord Voldemort's defeat and the reform of the Ministry of Magic in 1998.
Magical Maintenance Department

> "*Those are enchanted windows. Magical Maintenance decide what weather we'll get every day. We had two months of hurricanes last time they were angling for a pay rise.*"
> ― Arthur Weasley to Harry on the way to his trial for underage magic[source]
>
>

**Magical Maintenance** was a division of the Ministry of Magic. Members of this Department were the custodians of the Ministry. They were responsible for maintaining the upkeep of the Ministry, including deciding what weather to display through the Ministry's enchanted windows and repairing magic gone wrong within the premises of the Ministry, such as rain inside an office.

Magical Maintenance was presumably in charge of maintaining the lifts and ensuring that the Atrium fireplaces were supplied with Floo Powder, in addition to less magical forms of maintenance such as tidying up. The personnel working in the Magical Maintenance Department wore navy blue robes.

## Known members

* Orford Umbridge
* Reginald Cattermole

Muggle Liaison Office

> "*Less than a year later a harassed-looking Fudge had appeared out of thin air in the cabinet room to inform the Prime Minister that there had been a spot of bother at the Kwidditch (or that was what it had sounded like) World Cup and that several Muggles had been "involved", but that the Prime Minister was not to worry, the fact that You-Know-Who's Mark had been seen again meant nothing; Fudge was sure it was an isolated incident, and the Muggle Liaison Office was dealing with all memory modifications as they spoke.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

The **Muggle Liaison Office** is a division of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes presumably responsible for wizard-Muggle relations. Given the lack of Muggle awareness of the wizarding world, in accordance with the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy of 1692, it can be presumed that the Muggle Liaison Office fulfils its duties in a very one-sided manner. Those who work in Muggle Relations presumably work with this office.

## History

Celestina Warbeck's father was a "minor functionary" in the Muggle Liaison Office in around the 1910s.

In the summer of 1994, after the Death Eater incident at Roberts's campsite, the Muggle Liaison was tasked with memory modifications.

Myra Curio worked in the Muggle Liason Office, providing expert analysis to Mathilda Grimblehawk and her partner, of the Beast Division, during their investigation of magical beasts attacks.

Homonculous Charm

### Effect

When cast onto a map, it enables to track the movements of every person in the mapped area

> "*But the truly remarkable thing were the tiny ink dots moving around it, each labelled with a name in minuscule writing. Astounded, Harry bent over it. A labelled dot in the top left corner showed that Professor Dumbledore was pacing in his study; the caretaker’s cat, Mrs Norris, was prowling the second floor; and Peeves the Poltergeist was currently bouncing around the Trophy Room.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

The **Homonculous Charm** (*incantation unknown*) was a charm that, when cast onto a map, would enable its possessor to track the movements of every person in the mapped area, through labelled dots that moved around the parchment.

## History

> "*The magic used in the map's creation is advanced and impressive; it includes the Homonculous Charm, enabling the possessor of the map to track the movements of every person in the castle, and it was also enchanted to forever repel (as insultingly as possible) the curiosity of their nemesis, Severus Snape.*"
> ― Description of the magic involved in the map's creation[source]
>
>

After charting the grounds and halls of Hogwarts Castle in the 1970s, on a piece of parchment that would go by the name of Marauder's Map, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew cast this spell on it, along with a charm to insult Severus Snape. This artefact proved quite useful to the foursome (commonly termed "the Marauders") through the years, until it was confiscated by Argus Filch in their final year at Hogwarts.

## Effect

The charm had a powerful effect in that it was not fooled by various methods of concealment and disguise, such as invisibility cloaks (including the fabled Cloak of Invisibility), the Polyjuice Potion and Animagus transformations.

## Etymology

"Homonculous" is a variant spelling of "Homunculus," which is a term used to refer to any representation of a human being.
Stubby Boardman

> "*What people don’t realise is that Sirius Black is a false name. The man people believe to be Sirius Black is actually Stubby Boardman, lead singer of the popular singing group The Hobgoblins, who retired from public life after being struck in the ear by a turnip at a concert in Little Norton Church Hall nearly fifteen years ago. I recognised him the moment I saw his picture in the paper. Now, Stubby couldn’t possibly have committed those crimes, because on the day in question he happened to be enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner with me. I have written to the Minister of Magic and am expecting him to give Stubby, alias Sirius, a full pardon any day now.*"
> ― Doris Purkiss, *The Quibbler*[source]
>
>

**Stubby Boardman** was the lead singer of a musical group called The Hobgoblins.

## Biography

It was said by *The Quibbler* in 1980 that he retired after having a turnip thrown at his ear during a concert at the Little Norton Church Hall. He and Doris Purkiss were also said to be in a relationship.

It was said by *The Quibbler* in 1995 that he was in fact Sirius Black in disguise, based on the word of Purkiss, who claimed that she was having a romantic dinner with him on the night he supposedly murdered Peter Pettigrew and twelve Muggles. In 1996, *The Quibbler* claimed this person was Mina Lima in disguise. Both claims were false.

## Etymology

A *boardman* is a man who perambulates the streets carrying an advertising-board; a sandwich-man.

the
Invisibility Task Force

The **Invisibility Task Force** was an office of the Ministry of Magic that was presumably a part of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Its job was to keep magical creatures and places in the wizarding world out of sight of Muggles.

## Job

### Known work

Whenever a Muggle was caught looking for the Loch Ness Monster, the Invisibility Task Force took immediate action, in order to prevent the Muggle from finding the creature.

### Possible work

It is likely that it was this office that cast the spell which made Muggles suddenly remember urgent appointments when they get too near the site of the Quidditch World Cup Stadium.

It is also likely that it was this office that cast the spell which made Muggles see an old ruin of a castle when they were really looking at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is likely that the office also made Hogwarts Castle Unplottable.

Azkaban, the wizarding prison, is also Unplottable, and has certain concealment charms placed on it, hiding it from Muggle view. It is presumed that it was this office that made it so.
Mackled Malaclaw

The **Mackled Malaclaw** is a magical land beast which closely resembles the Template:Wplink in appearance. The Malaclaw has light grey skin with green spots, and can reach a length of twelve inches. Although it resembles a lobster, it is unfit to eat, and anyone who eats flesh of a Malaclaw will come down with a nasty fever and develop a green rash.

## Description

The Malaclaw is found along the rocky coastline of Europe and dines mainly on crustaceans. A bite from a Malaclaw has the unusual side effect of making the victim unlucky for up to a week. Any witch or wizard bitten by a Malaclaw should call off all bets, wagers and ventures since they will definitely go against him.

The tail of the Malaclaw can be used in potions. At the age of fourteen, the Potioneer Zygmunt Budge was capable of correcting his Potions Professor on the use of Mackled Malaclaw tails in potion-making. This, among other signs, made Budge feel he was prepared to enter the Wizarding Schools Potions Championship despite being underage.
Official Gobstones Club

The **Official Gobstones Club** is a division of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. It is presumed that it is the official club of Gobstones, a game that wizards and witches play. It is also assumed that it has its own tournament, and the employees of this office prepare and plan tournaments.

It is also known that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had a Gobstones club, which might have been run by the official one. Eileen Prince is the only known Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones club.

Lethifold

> "*It resembled nothing so much as a rippling black cape, the edges fluttering slightly as it slithered up the bed towards me.*"
> ― Flavius Belby's account of a Lethifold attack[source]
>
>

The **Lethifold** (also known as the **Living Shroud**) is a carnivorous and highly dangerous magical beast. It is also considered a Dark creature because of its highly aggressive and violent nature.

## Physical description

The Lethifold resembles a black cloak roughly half an inch thick, and appears slightly thicker if the creature has recently digested a victim. It glides along surfaces in an unknown form of locomotion in search of its prey, humans. It attacks at night, when the target is asleep, by suffocating and then digesting it.

## Protection from a Lethifold

The only known effective method of protection against a Lethifold is by using the Patronus Charm, similar to that of a Dementor, as discovered by Flavius Belby, the only known survivor of a Lethifold attack. Other spells, such as the Stunning Spell, or the Impediment Jinx will not work.

## History

The Lethifold is a very rare species and has been found only in tropical climates. The only known survivor of a Lethifold attack was a wizard named Flavius Belby. In 1782, Belby was on holiday in Papua New Guinea, and he managed to repel the attack because he was not fully asleep at the time. After unsuccessful repelling attempts with various spells, Belby managed to conjure a Patronus at the last second, causing the Lethifold to release him and slink away. Previous victims had apparently been unable to do this because they were either asleep, were Muggles, or unable or did not think to cast a Patronus Charm.

It is virtually impossible to determine the number of Lethifold victims, as the creatures leave no clues to their presence. Much easier to calculate is how many people have faked a Lethifold attack, for their own reasons. One known case of an individual attempting to fake a Lethifold attack was Janus Thickey, who disappeared in 1973, leaving behind a note reading *"Oh no, a Lethifold's got me, I'm suffocating"*. Because of this and his empty bed, Thickey's wife and children began mourning him. However, he was soon discovered living five miles away with the landlady of the Green Dragon pub.

Celestina Warbeck's parents met when the man who would become her father saved his future wife from a Lethifold that had disguised itself as a stage curtain during one of her performances.

"Lethifold" comes from two roots: *lethum*, variation of *letum*, which is Latin for "death", "annihilation", "ruin", and *fold*, which possibly pertains to the creature's cloak-like appearance. *Lethi-* is also similar to *Levi-*, which is reminiscent of levitation (an ability of the Lethifold) and *levis,* a Latin adjective, meaning "light" (a quality that Lethifold also possess). It can also be related to "lethal", which means "causing death". It is possible that the Ancient Greek *lethe*, the name of one of the rivers of Hades and meaning "forgetfulness", is also a point of origin, since mortals touched by its waters forgot their lives, ceased to struggle, and (generally) drowned.

The **Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects** was an office located within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. It was created in 1996 by then-Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour.

## History

Following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the official declaration that Lord Voldemort had returned, this office was one of several new divisions set up by Scrimgeour in response to the crisis plaguing the country. Its primary task was to confiscate fake protective spells and charmed objects (such as cursed sneakoscopes, or in one particular case, a medal that turned the user orange).

While many such objects surfaced in the panic after Voldemort's return, the purpose of their creation was not always clear- creators may have simply been profiteering, or it may have been something darker, as some of the confiscated articles were highly dangerous. Most of the perpetrators were described by Molly Weasley as people such as Mundungus Fletcher who had not worked an honest day in their lives. However, occasionally something exceedingly dangerous did turn up.

The head of the office upon it's creation was Arthur Weasley, who was promoted from the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office in 1996. Arthur had ten people working under him in the department at that time.

Goalpost

A **Goal Post** is a hoop on either end of a Quidditch pitch. There are three hoops at each end of a pitch, about thirty feet high. Chasers will shoot the Quaffle through the hoop to score 10 points for their team. The Keeper will defend the post.

## History

According to *Quidditch Through the Ages*, the early Quidditch goals were barrels, then replaced by baskets on stilts. The lack of regulation on the baskets made cheating easier (setting fire to them, putting tiny baskets for the visiting team and enormous ones for the home team), leading to the induction of fixed-size hoops in 1883.

Upon first seeing these, Harry Potter compared them to Muggles bubble wands.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Giants used goal posts as weapons.
Hogwarts laundry

The **laundry** was a location at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where students' clothes are washed. It was presumably run by house-elves.

## History

In December 1992, Hermione Granger sneaked three large sized robes from the laundry, for Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley to wear while disguised as Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe, in order to sneak undetected into the Slytherin Dungeon.

Knarl

> "*The Knarl (northern Europe and America) is usually mistaken for a hedgehog by Muggles. The two species are indeed indistinguishable except for one important behavioural difference: if food is left out in the garden for a hedgehog, it will accept and enjoy the gift; if food is offered to a Knarl, on the other hand, it will assume that the householder is attempting to lure it into a trap and will savage that householder’s garden plants or garden ornaments.*"
> ― Newt Scamander, Template:FB[source]
>
>

The **Knarl** is a magical beast that greatly resembles a hedgehog in its physical appearance.

## Description

It resembles the hedgehog so much so that there is only one known (behavioural) difference between them: when food is left out for a hedgehog it will appreciate and enjoy the gift; a knarl will see it as an attempt to lure it into a trap and hence savage the garden of the householder who left the food. Muggle children have often been blamed for damage committed by a Knarl.

## Diet

Knarls eat wild daisies. A potioneer will often have to remove Knarls from a daisy patch in order to pick the flowers. Casting a well-aimed Stunning Spell at the Knarl will work well and will not do any permanent harm to the animal.

## Uses

Knarl quills have magical uses. Fred and George Weasley once paid Mundungus Fletcher six Sickles for a bag of knarl quills, to experiment with for possible use in their Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products.

## History

They were featured in the Care of Magical Creatures O.W.L. during the 1995–1996 school year, where students had to locate it amongst a group of hedgehogs. The trick was to offer each creature some milk. Given how Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant and milk is thus poisonous to them, the Knarl being more intelligent, may be actually be aware of this fact.
Lorcan McLaird

> "*There was also Minister Lorcan McLaird, who was a quite brilliant wizard, but preferred to communicate by puffing smoke out of the end of his wand.*"
> ― Robert Hilliard.[source]
>
>

**Minister Lorcan McLaird** was a wizard, a former Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as well as, later in his life, British Minister for Magic from 1923 to 1925.

## Biography

### Early life

Lorcan McLaird was born no later than 1906, somewhere in the British Isles. His surname suggests he was Scottish, or had Scottish ancestry. In his youth, he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was Sorted into Ravenclaw.

### As Minister for Magic

McLaird rose to the office of Minister for Magic of Great Britain and Ireland in 1923. He was quite a talented wizard, but was considered something of an eccentric, as he liked to communicate by puffing smoke from the tip of his wand. Eventually, he was forced out of office in 1925 due to irritation at his eccentricities.

The *Daily Prophet* reported in its 29 November 1926 issue that Ravenclaw students were planning to honour McLaird.

## Behind the scenes

* Luna Lovegood may have named her son — Lorcan — after this man, probably in admiration for his eccentricity.
* Calvin Coolidge, the thirtieth President of the United States, was also known for being incredibly taciturn. He, too, came into office in 1923.
Hesphaestus Gore

**Minister Hesphaestus Gore** was one of the earliest Aurors as well as Minister for Magic from 1752 to 1770.

## Biography

Hesphaestus Gore was born in or before 1735. He worked at the Ministry of Magic, where he became one of the earliest Aurors there, after Minister Eldritch Diggory (in office 1733-1747) first established an Auror recruitment programme.

He became a temporary acting Minister for Magic in 1752, and later was elected a regular Minister several times after his predecessor Basil Flack was forced to resign after two months, during the height of the Goblin Rebellions (the goblins had just joined forces with the werewolves). Gore successfully put down a number of revolts by the magical beings, although historians feel his refusal to contemplate rehabilitation programmes for werewolves ultimately led to more attacks. One such revolt took place in 1762, in which goblin rebel Vargot was killed in battle — a popular historical theory that may have not been proved is that Vargot was really a renegade house-elf.

In 1754, Minister Gore and the Italian Minister for Magic officiated the infamous broom race from Aberdeen to Rome between the two most famous fliers in Europe, Torquil McTavish and Silvio Astolfi. The race took place overnight, to avoid the attention of Muggles. The Minister representatives and the supporters were gathered at the Coliseum to await for the racers' arrival. However, just as the pair were seen flying toward the ancient amphitheatre, a clash broke out between rival factions of fans. During the fight, an explosion was somehow set off, leaving the Coliseum in ruins. Orabella Nuttley, a clerk of the Improper Use of Magic Office, who had been assigned to handle luggage and arrange Portkeys, stepped forward and repaired a few columns with the Mending Charm she had invented. Amazed, Gore and the other assembled Ministers asked her to teach them how to perform it, and the damage to the Coliseum was undone by the time the Muggles that woke up to the sound of the explosion arrived at the scene. Gore later awarded Madam Nuttley the Order of Merlin, First Class, for preventing a major breach of the Statute of Secrecy.

Minister Gore was also responsible for renovating and reinforcing the prison of Azkaban.
Gore left office after eighteen years, in 1770, to be succeeded by Maximilian Crowdy. He either retired or was voted out of office.

## Etymology

Hesphaestus may be a derivative of Template:Wplink, a Greek god of blacksmiths, metallurgy, and fire. *Gore* is an English term for blood, and is particularly used in reference to Template:Wplink depicted in visual media.

Noxious Potion

The **Noxious Potion** is a potion that releases green clouds of smoke when completed. Its exact usage and effects are unknown, but it is possible that it is used as a poison.

## Etymology

In Latin, "Noxious" means unpleasant and harmful, generally referring to odourous fumes, hence the green clouds that emit from it. Noxious is a descendant of another Latin word, nocere, meaning to hurt or injure. "Noxa" means hurtful or injurious. This means that the potion probably injures the drinker.
Moody family

The **Moody family** was a British pure-blood wizarding family now Half-blood. Many members of the family, including Alastor Moody, were famous Aurors.

The family name in Britain died out with Alastor's death in 1997, as he had no known living relatives at the time, and fathered no children. But survived through relatives in Australia.

## Family members

* Alastor Moody — an Auror and member of the Order of the Phoenix
* Mr Moody — an Auror; father of Alastor
* Mrs Moody — an Auror; mother of Alastor
* Australian branch — (also Aurors)
* Grace Potter née Moody — Wife of Herny S Potter, mother to Daniel Potter, James M Potter and Katherine Potter.
Rosier family

**Rosier** is the surname of an pure-blood wizarding family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, which likely originated from France. They are related to the Black, Lestrange and Malfoy families.

Given these relations, as well as the participation of one Rosier in the Global Wizarding War as a Grindelwald acolyte, and later two Rosiers in the First Wizarding War as Death Eaters, it is likely that the Rosiers place great importance on their pure-blood heritage. They most likely felt disdain for Muggles and Muggle-borns, and practised the Dark Arts.

## History

It is likely that members of the Rosier family have thick eyelids, as two of the daughters of Druella Rosier and Cygnus Black were described as having "heavily-lidded eyes" by Harry Potter. It is unlikely that this is a characteristic inherited from their father's side as no mention of this physical feature is ever made in relation to any member of the Black family.

By the 20th century the he family had branched out of France, and at into Great Britain.

## Known family members

* Minette Lestrange née Rosier — wife of Corvus Lestrange II and mother of M. Lestrange, Josette Lestrange, and Corvus Lestrange III
* Vinda Rosier — a witch who lived in the early 20th century and was one of Gellert Grindelwald's most loyal acolytes
* Rosier —a wizard who was one of the earliest Death Eaters
* Druella Black née Rosier — wife of Cygnus Black III, mother of Bellatrix Lestrange, Andromeda Tonks, and Narcissa Malfoy
* Evan Rosier — a Death Eater who died in the First Wizarding War
* Felix Rosier — a Slytherin student made Prefect in the 1980s
Jarvey

The **Jarvey** is magical beast which resembles an overgrown ferret in appearance, and is commonly found in Great Britain, Ireland, and North America.

## Description

The Jarvey is capable of Human speech, although true conversation with a Jarvey is impossible. The creature uses short, usually rude, statements and phrases in an almost constant stream.

Jarveys live below ground, and their diet consists of moles, voles, rats, and Gnomes. Jarvey are particularly good at hunting Gnomes, and are sometimes employed to de-gnome a garden, although their methods are usually brutal.

## History

A Franciscan monk, Brother Benedict, once had a run-in with a Jarvey in the grounds of his monastery. The Jarvey called him a "baldy", then bit him on the nose so hard that the Monk was excused from Vespers. However, the incident did call Brother Benedict's testimony into question when he relayed it, and the Friar wondered if he'd been drinking Brother Boniface's Turnip Wine.

Newton Scamander was involved in an incident at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1913 due to the illegal possession of a magical beast causing endangerment of human life and violation of Animal Welfare Laws 101/304. The beast in question was a Jarvey. It was witnessed by multiple people, and caused endangerment of human life. Albus Dumbledore defended Newt, although the ultimate consequences are unclear. The British Ministry of Magic Animal Welfare Department were also informed of the violation and required to rehouse the Jarvey.
Gamp's Old Gregarious

> "*To honour Gamp’s protection of the pub, the landlord created a new brand of beer, Gamp’s Old Gregarious, which tasted so disgusting that nobody has ever been known to finish a pint (there is a one-hundred-Galleon prize to anyone prepared to do so, but nobody has yet succeeded in claiming the gold).*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

**Gamp's Old Gregarious** was a wizarding brand of beer, created by the landlord of the Leaky Cauldron between 1707 and 1718. The beer is named after Ulick Gamp, first Minister for Magic, who decreed that the Leaky Cauldron could remain in operation after the recent passing of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, provided it conceal its existence from Muggles and its patrons maintain good behaviour.

Despite the attempt to honour the Minister, Gamp's Old Gregarious is exceptionally disgusting. There is a one-hundred Galleon prize at the Leaky Cauldron for anyone who manages to finish a pint of it, a feat that had yet to be accomplised by 2014, about three-hundred years after its creation.
