Gryffindor students

**Gryffindor students** can be found on the following pages:

* Category:Gryffindor contain characters known to have been sorted into Gryffindor house, regardless of their age or canonicity.
* The School year categories have subcategories listing canonical and non-canonical Gryffindor students known to have attended that year, but do not separate them into first-years, second-years etc. (If a subcategory is missing, no such student has yet been added to the wiki.)
* For students attending school during the same years as Harry Potter, lists specifying house, year and canonicity are available: 1991/92, 1992/93, 1993/94, 14/95, 1995/96, 1996/97, 1997/98. Note that these lists are updated manually and may therefore be incomplete with regards to non-canonical characters.

Former Potions classroom

A non-canonical **former Potions classroom** is mentioned in *The Code*; around the latter half of the 1940s a dark wraith took up residence in it, and rather than driving it out the room was sealed off and replaced by the current Potions classroom. It is located in the dungeons, not far from the Slytherin dormitory, and is covered with protective wards and an alarm to alert the professors to anyone trying to tamper with it. (The alarm sounds like bells ringing in the hallways, but is not heard at all in the dormitories since the students do not need to be alerted.) While it was still in use, it was home to the Brewer's Club, led in 1943/44 and 1944/45 by Tom Riddle.
Apolline Delacour

***Harry Potter: Neko's Mate***

* Pierre Delacour (husband)

***The Power of Seven***

* Harry Potter (son-in-law)
* Victoire (granddaughter)

**Apolline Delacour** is a canonical French half-veela and the mother of Fleur and Gabrielle Delacour; her husband is not named beyond "Monsieur Delacour" or "Papa".

## Canonical information

Main article: **Apolline Delacour** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
## Non-canonical information

### *The Power of Seven*

In this story, it is said that Apolline due to her veela heritage has a considerably higher sex drive than her husband, and that she therefore takes many lovers; while her husband has accepted it and lets her do as she wishes, Fleur doesn't like it and has sworn never to do the same. She is also described as not being very close to either daughter, perhaps because neither acts in line with her views on what is normal veela behaviour (Fleur repressing her libido almost completely, and Gabrielle focusing hers exclusively on Harry). When Fleur suddenly returns from Britain with Harry, having dumped Bill, she tries to "put her rebellious daughter in her place" by (temporarily) seducing Harry, but he unexpectedly resists her allure and retires to spend a night of passion with Fleur; Apolline, whose sense of identity seems entirely tied to her ability to have any man she wants, resorts to haggling, demanding a night with Harry in return for the previously offered use of the Fidelius-charmed Delacour family beach house. Whether she is allowed any contact with her granddaughter Victoire is not known.

### Minor appearances

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, it is said that Fleur's maternal line has lived in Marseille more or less since it was founded around 600 BCE, and although her father "comes from a different tradition" the family has stayed there.

Fire-suppression charm

A non-canonical **fire-suppression charm** is mentioned – but not described – in *The Code*; it does not affect fae-flame, but does work on clothes that have caught fire from being engulfed by said flames. (It is said to be the one "favored" by Severus Snape, implying that the term as such may refer to a *type of spell* rather than just a specific one.)
Flourish and Blotts

**Flourish and Blotts** is a canonical book store in North Side Diagon Alley, about half-way down the street on the left side when coming from The Leaky Cauldron; it lies between Pettichaps and Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, with Belcher's Bottled Beers in the basement.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Flourish and Blotts** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
According to the sign, it was established in 1654 (or possibly 1454, the picture is not quite clear).

## Non-canonical information

* In The Family Clock (set in 1996, but this has presumably been the case for quite a while), Abigail Flourish is a partner in the firm, and has three apprentices named Emma.

## Staff

The shop has a manager, an assistant manager and at least one assistant.

### Canonical

Madam Villanelle (at least 1980s and early 1990s)

Carpe retractum

**Carpe retractum**, also known as the **Seize and pull charm**, is a canonical spell taught in third year that produces a cord of light with which the caster can pull things to themselves, or themselves toward an unmovable object. The target must be in line of sight, and fairly close, but does not have to be an object; living things are affected as well.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Seize and pull charm** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
This charm only appears in video games, not the books or the movies.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Power of Seven*, Demelza Robins uses it to anchor herself to the ground as Voldemort tries to pull her into the air.

## Etymology

*carpe*, Latin for "pick!, pluck!" (2sg imperative)

*retractum*, Latin for "withdrawn, distant, remote"

This is probably modeled on that famous quote, *Carpe diem!* "Seize the day!", with an intended meaning along the lines of "Hold on at a distance". Unfortunately, while "Seize the day" is the underlying message of the quote, the actual meaning of the verb is not so much "grasp, hold fast (the day)" as "pick (cherries, flowers etc)", with *diem* being an adverbial of time "this day" – that is, "have fun today (because you never know what the future brings)".
Connection amplifier

A **connection amplifier** is a non-canonical magical object mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; it allows the user to ignore "the noise of daily life" and focus on the people they care about. It consists of a large stone bowl similar to a pensieve, but with the runes used in the Soul bond ritual; when in use, it is filled with water and activated by placing one's hand in it.

Gautier family

The **Gautier family** is a non-canonical wizarding family mentioned in The Family Clock; they lived in Lousiana around the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th. It is not known if the male line has survived, but the Lyon family traces its magical heritage to Daphne Gautier. The name *Gautier*, also spelled *Gauthier* and *Gaultier*, is of French origin, so there may be related families in France and/or Canada.

## Family members

* Daphne Gautier Lyon (born late 18th century)
1975 Quidditch World Cup

The **1975 Quidditch World Cup** is a contra-canonical event mentioned in *The Family Clock*, although this may be a typo; canonically, the world cup was rather held in 1974 (it is held every fourth year). Since Bob Redfern was going there by motorcycle, it is likely that it was held near Britain (when Britain hosted the 1994 Cup, it was the first time in about thirty years).

See also: Quidditch World Cup and 1974 Quidditch World Cup, both at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
Ernie Macmillan

**Ernest "Ernie" Macmillan** is a canonical pure-blood wizard and Hogwarts student in the same year as Harry; he was sorted into Hufflepuff, became a prefect in his fifth year, was a member of Dumbledore's Army and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Ernest Macmillan** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Ernie states that he is the descendant of "nine generations of witches and warlocks". He is likely related (but how is not known) to both Sirius Black's paternal grandmother Melania Black, née Macmillan, and Pippa Macmillan who was sorted into Gryffindor in 1983. He is described as looking "stout" (i e somewhat chubby) and said to have blonde hair; his face can also take on shades of pink, implying that his skin pigmentation is light, and in the films he is depicted as having blue eyes.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Code*, it is said that Ernie is "known to arrive late to class because he’d wasted time chasing down his latest crush", and to not be discreet in matters of romance.

Exui vestes

**Exui vestes** is a spell used by Harry in *The Power of Seven*; it slowly removes the target's clothes, one at a time, unknotting ties and undoing buttons, and puts them in a nicely folded stack nearby. While not explicitly mentioned, it would probably be classified as a charm. It is clearly meant to be used on a willing target, since the slow speed would make it very easy to cancel. It is not clear what would happen if it was used on a person who was tied up, or otherwise put in a position where their clothes couldn't be removed while kept intact.

## Etymology

*exui* is 1 sg perfect of *exuo*, Latin for "remove"

*vestes* is Latin for "clothes"
Crusaders For Justice

**Crusaders For Justice** is a non-canonical organization mentioned in Breath Mints / Battle Scars. Founded in October 1998 – i e after the war – by former auror John Dawlish, it advocated a "zero-tolerance policy for accused Death Eaters and their allies", who should be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law" (namely, a Dementor's Kiss). This included reopening closed and even sentenced cases for a new trial, something the Wizarding World allowed if there was a threat to secrecy vis-a-vi the muggle world. According to the Daily Prophet, after just a few months it had garnered major support and was growing quickly – and indeed, in early 1999 a large number of students were arrested in an auror raid on the Slytherin dorms led by Dawlish, including Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Adrian Pucey and Millicent Bulstrode.

Compulsion draught

**Compulsion draught** is a non-canonical potion mentioned in *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*; its effect is not described in detail, beyond that it makes people do things (or not do things, as the case may be) according to somebody else's instructions. The effect may be removed with a flushing draught.

## References

1. ↑ *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, Chapter 3
Deaden Flame spell

The **Deaden Flame spell** is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *The Code*; it is said to be "the only anti-fire ward that would work in a bog", and can not be broken with a generic counter-spell such as *Finite* – it "needs to be dismantled manually" (possibly indicating that the presence of physical components is necessary for the spell to work).
Bastion

**Bastion** is a non-canonical French magical prison mentioned in *The Code*; in early 1997, Voldemort planned to break out some of his supporters and kidnapped three guards who, after having given up what information they had, were tortured to death by Death Eater recruits. It is also referred to as "the French prison of St. Montville", suggesting that it may be placed in Montville in Normandy (but the *St.* is left unexplained).

## Etymology

A *bastion* is an element of fortification commonly used from the mid 16th to mid 19th centuries. *Le Bastion* is the nickname of the current (since 2017) headquarters of the muggle French police. *La Bastille* (likely etymologically related) was a fortress in Paris used as a prison until the French Revolution.

Diagnostic spell

Non-canonical **spells that allows healers to diagnose medical issues** are mentioned in many stories, and the details vary. While they are not always referred to as such, they are generally classifiable as charms.

### *The Code*

Draco uses an "incredibly complex" one on Snape, which draws an overlay map in orange light of first the bones, then the arteries and veins and finally the skin; it identifies two broken ribs and a punctured lung. No incantation is given. Others are used by Madam Pomfrey and (several varieties) Bill Weasley, but without descriptions of the accompanying visuals (if any).

Curiosities and Collectibles

**Curiosities and Collectibles** is a non-canonical second-hand shop mentioned in *Harry the Hufflepuff*; it is situated in Knockturn Alley near the entrance from Diagon Alley. In the summer of 1992, after Harry had bought new clothes, they bought his old outgrown ones for "considerably more" money than the new ones cost (in particular, they paid a "ridiculous" sum for his old underwear), and the next summer they paid ten galleons per item plus corresponding new gear (which supposedly was a better price).

The owner (or at least the sales-person on duty on both occasions) is described as an "ancient-looking witch".

## Behind the Scenes

The location of this shop corresponds roughly to that of Redferns' Pawn and Secondhand in *The Family Clock* (which may or may not have opened in 1996).

Harry Potter Fanon Reference Wiki

**Welcome to the Harry Potter Fanon Reference Wiki!**
The purpose of this wiki is to collect fan-created world elements – persons, places, objects, spells etc – from Harry Potter fanfiction, and reference the sources where they appear. The last part is what makes it different from most non-canonically oriented Harry Potter wikis – not least the main such, the *Harry Potter Fanon Wiki* – and means, first, that a clear distinction is made between canonical and non-canonical information; second, that distinctions are made within the non-canonical information to show what comes from which story; and third, that links are provided to the stories so that the information can be viewed in its original context. (Since similar sourcing of the canonical material is available at the *Harry Potter Wiki*, it will not be repeated here; any article with a canonical subject should have a link to the corresponding HPW article to allow readers to find it.)

Another difference to the HPFW is that no stories are hosted on this wiki; that is better done at a site dedicated to the purpose. The *Stories* menu instead links to articles about the stories from which the non-canonical information is taken, with data on things like length, rating, status (finished, work-in-progress, unfinished or abandoned) and date of publication. There is a plot summary, sometimes a timeline, trigger warnings if needed, and lists of non-canonical world elements.

The aim of this wiki is twofold: first and foremost, it is intended as inspiration to those *writers* who do not wish to reinvent the wheel every time, giving examples of already invented world elements that can be refashioned or even reused as is (if you do, don't forget to mention the original author and story in an author's note!). Secondarily, although in practice this may well be the more common use, it should also serve as a place for *readers* to find new stories they like (or perhaps come back to old ones) based on their content.

While this was started as a private project, a wiki is by its very nature collaborative and I would be very happy if others joined in my effort to provide references to the world of Harry Potter fandom. Seriously, with my current rate of progress it seems I won't be able to fully report on more than three or four stories a year, meaning it will take ages before the site is reasonably useful. Any additions will be appreciated, even if it's just a few words and a link. (Well, provided they follow Wiki Policy of course!) If you really want to go all in, take a look at this list of stories that visitors have wanted to see articles on and start reporting on one of them – or on your personal favorite, of course.

Gargoyle in Ignore the Dementor

A **gargoyle** in *Ignore the Dementor* is a type of magical creature living among humans through the use of glamour; when they marry (or otherwise have children with) humans, their descendants may seem to be ordinary witches and wizards for several generations, until the right combination of lineages lets the creature genes express themselves again. Ordinary waterspout gargoyles are said to be modeled after them, and they may or may not be related to the canonical Sandstone Gargoyles.

Gargoyles are exceptionally strong, even in human form – Graham Montague could easily lift a couch with two third-years on it – and are noticed for their steadfastness and immovability. The non-human form is large and dragon-like with scaly wings and sharp pointed ears; Graham is said to be "completely black", but since he is also said to be dark-skinned in his human form this may not be universal.

Emma Vane

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the Hogwarts student in Harry's year**. You may be looking for **the muggle fashion designer of the same name, or somebody else named *Emma***.

## Affiliation

### School

Hogwarts

**Emma Vane** is a canonical witch and Hogwarts student in the same year as Harry, although her house is not known; she may or may not be an older sister or other relative of Romilda Vane.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Emma Vane (witch)** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The name *Emma Vane* can be seen on a permission slip for Hogsmeade visits featured in one of the films; her mother's name is visible but hard to read (possibly *Myra*?). If and how she is related to the (presumably muggle) fashion designer bearing the same name is not known.
Herbology for Potion-Making

**Herbology for Potion-Making** is a non-canonical Hogwarts class mentioned in *The Code*; it is an elective class available in sixth year, and presumably has O.W.L. requirements for at least Herbology and likely Potions as well. (At least in 1996, however, these requirements were not set higher than *Exceeds Expectations*, since Draco, with E in all subjects, was allowed to take it.)

Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour

**Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour** is a canonical shop in Diagon Alley North Side; it sits between Quality Quidditch Supplies and an (unnamed) second-hand bookshop, with the Magical Menagerie across the road and Vietch's Leeches in front. The proprietor is Florean Fortescue.

## Canonical information

## Non-canonical information

### The Family Clock

In this story, the parlour was already established in the early 1960s, when Siobhan McArran worked there during her Summer holidays. It was destroyed during the First Wizarding War but was rebuilt thanks to a loan from Jamesina Tickes III (who died before the war was over, so this must have happened relatively early). It often hosts informal political debates, during which as many as forty spectators may cram themselves into the small shop if the weather does not allow them to stay outdoors.

## On the menu

### Ice cream flavours

* Caramel praline
* Chocolate
* Mint chocolate chip
* Raspberry
* Strawberry and peanut butter
* Vanilla

### Toppings

* Chopped nuts
* Colour-and-flavour-changing ice cream sauce
* Diced walnuts
* Moving ice cream toppings

### Specialties

* Apple-pie ice cream cake

Goldstein family

The **Goldstein family** is a canonical wizarding family with branches in both Britain and the USA (although the name has German roots). At least one member is known to be Jewish.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Goldstein family** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The parents of Porpentina and Queenie, likely fairly young themselves, died from dragonpox in the 1900s or 1910s, leaving their children to "raise each other". Anthony is "a distant relative" of theirs, possibly a descendant of an uncle of theirs but more likely of a cousin (of some degree) to their father.

Demi-canonical

**Demi-canonical** is the term used in this wiki for persons who must exist (or have existed) in canon, but who are not actually mentioned there and therefore can be imagined quite differently in different stories. It is typically used in articles covering the parents of canonical people, although it theoretically also could be extended to grandparents, great-grandparents and so on; other possible uses include previous holders of known positions, founders of known institutions and inventors of known objects, spells or potions, although most of these will not be likely to need their own coordinating page the way parents are.

It is similarly used for *places* that must reasonably be expected to exist in canon even though they are not outright mentioned, in particular for rooms in canonical buildings such as Draco's bedroom in Malfoy Manor; we never hear of it, but it can hardly be doubted that he had one.

Delirium antidote

A non-canonical **antidote to delirium** is mentioned in *The Code*; while within the capabilities of sixth-year Potions students, it is "tricky" to brew because it can easily turn caustic, in which case it may give off thick yellow smoke, choking and even gagging the brewer. One cause of this is adding too much powdered unicorn hoof; at this stage, the previously clear blue potion should only turn a pale yellow. A complete list of ingredients or brewing instructions are not given, but fig root is added after the unicorn hoof.

*See also: Delirium Draught*
Emily and George Granger's basement

**Emily and George Granger's basement** is a non-canonical room in the Granger family's house mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; it is a BDSM dungeon were they dominate their live-in caretaker Evanna Quill. To never enter the basement is the only rule that has been strictly enforced throughout Hermione's life, and when she breaks it in the summer of 1995 and learns of her parents' secret lifestyle, she is quite shocked, to the point of feeling betrayed.

## Entrance

At the bottom of the basement stairs is an "imposingly black" hardwood door with many locks, which however yields to the Unlocking Charm without fuss. A switch on the wall inside turns on strong lights in a room, larger than the living room, with red walls and a rich black wooden floor.

## Contents

The room contains at least the following:

* A black table with several seats and a leather couch, at the center
* A king-size four-poster bed with hooks, the foot of which is a built-in stocks
* A giant wooden X to which leather manacles are fastened with metal chains
* A leather-cushioned sawhorse with manacles
* A rubber-padded rack against one wall
* An imposing chair with dozens of straps
* Several cabinets holding objects such as
	+ crops, whips, floggers and paddles
	+ cuffs, shackles, chains and ropes
	+ gags, blindfolds and a head-shaped hood

Connolly family

The **Connolly family** is a canonical Irish wizarding family. The name *Connolly* is an Anglicized form of Irish Gaelic *Ó Conghalaigh* (also spelled *Ó Conghaile*), "son of Conghal"; the same Irish name has also been Anglicised as *Connelly*, *Connally* and *Conley*, so families of these names could be related.

Emeric Switch

**Emeric Switch** is a canonical, likely historical, wizard, Transfiguration professor and text book author; in the 1990s, his book *A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration* was required reading in Hogwarts' first- and second-year Transfiguration classes.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Emeric Switch** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
His portrait can be found in Hogwarts, which may point to him having passed away before the 1990s.

## Non-canonical information

* In The Family Clock, he is said to be a pure-blood, and his sister Jamesina (born 1896) became one of the first female aurors; she married magical watchmaker Ian Tickes, becoming the great-grandmother of the main character Jessie Tickes, but was eventually killed by death eaters in 1980. Emeric is still alive by 1996, working in publishing as "some kind of editor" in New York City, although for some reason his relationship to Jessie is referred to as "great-uncle" (and "grand-niece") rather than the more correct "great-grand-".

Hans Prosser

**Hans Prosser** is a non-canonical wizard and magical watchmaker mentioned in The Family Clock; he works at Universum Zeitmechanische Uhrfabrik and seems to be German, although his mother was Austrian. He is of age with Jessie Tickes ("We've known each other since we were six") and like her was called to Bern to sit his Chronologie Mechanique master in October 1996. Gillian Lyon describes him as an eligible young man from a prominent house, but with nothing more than the prominent house to recommend him. He is the second son of Karl Prosser, but his older brother was disinherited after marrying a muggle-born Canadian; he therefore is under considerable pressure to find a more suitable spouse and his father has decided that Jessie Tickes is the one.

Jessie refers to him as "an old classmate", but he can hardly have gone to Hogwarts (which only takes students from Britain and Ireland); possibly this is a metaphor for the two of them having become journeymen (and possibly also apprentices, at six?) at the same time.

## Physical appearance

Hans has dark brown hair "combed down on his head". He is described as "stoutish" and his voice seems to come from about the height of Charlie Weasley's elbow (who in this story is said to be 6'1").

## Personality

In the one scene he has a major role, he appears rather formal and strict, giving associations to Prussian militarism, but this could be due to the awkwardness of having to propose to a childhood friend whom he actually isn't romantically interested in. Other people describe him as "toadying" towards his seniors and bullying towards apprentices, and it is implied that he is prone to touching women inappropriately ("you'll want to misplace your dance card when he talks to you").

## Trivia

* According to Paul Deroulede, he "can't Seek to save his life".

Emily Granger

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the mother of Hermione Granger**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Emily***.

## Relationship information

### Relatives

* George Granger (husband)
* Hermione Granger (daughter)

### Romances

* George Granger (husband)
* Evanna Quill (live-in sub)

## Affiliation

### Occupation

Dentist

**Emily Granger** is the name used in *A Godfather's Promise* for Hermione's mother; she and her husband George live in a gated community in a suburb to London together with their daughter (when she is not at school) and the live-in housekeeper Evanna Quill, with whom they secretly have a BDSM relationship. In the summer of 1995, Emily and George were invited at the last minute to give a talk at the Mayo Clinic in the US, and therefore are unable to meet Hermione when she comes home from Hogwarts; she takes this opportunity to investigate the locked basement, and finds out abut their relationship with Evanna.

Emily Granger drives an SUV, which sounds fairly unusual for 1995 London.

## Relationships

### Evanna Quill

Sometime around 1983 Emily and George hired Evanna, then a college student of finance, to take care of their three-year-old daughter and the house in exchange for room and board. After graduation – presumably in 1986 or 1987 – she got a high-paying job at a multi-national company and moved out, despite Hermione's pleas that she stay with her, but a year later she quit her job and returned to the Grangers, taking up writing and arts instead of searching for a new job. It is not clear at which point the Grangers involved her in their relationship, nor at what time they got interested in BDSM themselves, but the basement seems to have been off limits to Hermione from the start.

Half-blood

A **half-blood** is a canonical concept related to blood purity; it refers to a wizard or witch who is neither a pure-blood nor a muggle-born, meaning that they have at least one magical parent but also at least one muggle or muggle-born grandparent. This could possibly include the child or grandchild of a (recognized) squib, even if they were raised in the muggle world and thus functionally equivalent to a muggle-born, since what the blood purity paradigm cared about was inheritance lines and the muggle-born "stealing" the power of the pure-bloods.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Half-blood** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
In an early draft of *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire*, there was a character with squib/muggle parentage: Mafalda Weasley. She was supposed to be a Slytherin with a connection to Harry, who could leak some secrets to him, which seems to imply that she would not have been treated as a "mudblood" by her house-mates. According to the text, what made the idea untenable was her age, not her blood status.

## Students

### In Hogwarts

\*\*A surprisingly high number of people with Japanese names could be seen on the Marauders' Map during the 1993/94 school year. While most other categories of foreign names present can be explained by historical movements within the British Empire and/or Commonwealth, these cannot; if perhaps there was an (otherwise unannounced) exchange program with Mahoutokoro, or some other more temporary reason for them to be there, they may not have been present in other years.

### In other schools

**Note:** In the following table, years are given as "Hogwarts equivalent", i e the year they would have been in had they gone to Hogwarts. Other schools may have different matriculation and/or graduation ages, so the actual designations could be different. Also, schools outside of Britain would not necessarily use the same "cut-off date" (1 September) to decide which year a student belongs to.

As there are so very few canonical students in other schools, they are written in **bold** rather than on their own row.
Familociometer

**Familociometer** is a non-canonical term, mentioned in *The Family Clock*, for the kind of "family clock" the Weasley family has, with hands showing where individual family members are.

Great Vampire Bat

The **Great Vampire Bat** is a non-canonical magical creature mentioned in *The Code*; it is twice the size of a full-grown thestral, with an "intimidating" wingspan that makes it quite fast – it can cross a Quidditch pitch in seconds (which is on the order of 40-180 km/h, or 25-120 mph). Its *shockwave scream*, at least partly within human hearing range, is ear-splitting and strong enough to throw people to the ground, send broom riders tumbling through the air and splinter wood; when not using a sonic attack, it gives off a high keening whistle. The skin is leathery and covered with brown fur; with the notable exception of the face, it is impervious to most magic but explosions, wind charms and similar effects will affect its ability to fly. It has a low mass for its size, likely due to hollow bones, and is not native to Britain, needing a much warmer climate to thrive.

## Behind the scenes

"Twice the size" means about 125 % scale; as depicted in the films, the torso of a thestral seems to be about 80-100 cm in diameter and about twice that in length, while the wingspan is about ten times the torso's diameter. Scaling these numbers by 125 % would yield a bat torso of 100-125 cm diameter and 2-2.5 m length, with a wingspan around 10 m, but of course this is a very coarse approximation; in particular, the wings need not follow the same scale at all.

If the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch roughly fits the description of a typical fourteenth-century one (which is the only one we have actual numbers for) it has a longer axis of about 500 feet and a shorter of about 180 feet; crossing this "in seconds" (3? 5?) would give speeds roughly in the range 35-165 feet/s, depending on the direction, or about 25-120 mph (40-180 km/h). (The fact that it seems to moves over the professors' box may suggest that it is the shorter axis that is more relevant, since that box would likely be in the middle of the long side.)

Heckert

**Heckert** (first name not known) is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Code*; he is one year older than Harry and sorted into Slytherin, where he is part of the group surrounding Cassius Warrington. As such, he is a believer in pure-blood supremacy and thus presumably a pure-blood himself. In the spring of 1997, he and Carangi help Theodore Nott ambush Draco Malfoy in the Slytherin common room in an attempt to oust the latter from the unofficial position as leader of Slytherin House; however, Draco defeats the three fairly easily and – if anything – strengthens his position.

Half-werewolf

A **half-werewolf** is a canonical type of part-human, namely the offspring of a human and a werewolf; the term is used by Rita Skeeter in her gossip column on the Dumbledore's Army reunion at the 2014 Quidditch World Cup finals, with reference to Teddy Lupin.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Half-breed** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Remus worried (needlessly, as it turned out) that Teddy would inherit his lycanthropy, which would imply either that such unions are rare enough that even werewolves themselves don't know what to expect, or that it was known that it did happen in some cases but not in others. Of course, one could argue that inheriting the lycanthropy would make the children full werewolves rather than half, and that we don't know enough about Teddy's life to tell if he inherited any less obvious traits.

## Non-canonical information

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, the half-werewolves Aurelius and Aurora Jones state that they have "some of the heightened senses of werewolves, none of the transformations and all of the same discrimination".

Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures

**Hestia Talon** is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student in the year above Harry; she was sorted into Ravenclaw and is a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures because she is secretly a roc masquerading as human. During the spring term of 1996 she and Graham Montague, a similarly hiding gargoyle in the year above her, become a couple, although they manage to keep their relationship hidden from almost everybody; due to the threat from his death eater father once Graham has graduated, she arranges for her own father to hire him and assign him to a project in China. The two eventually have a child, "an extra-large gargoyle that had feathers", who also goes to Hogwarts.

Among witches and wizards, she uses glamour to appear human; this form is said to have dark hair but is otherwise not described. As a roc, she is described as "a falcon-like bird that was the size of a small airplane"; she has no trouble carrying six people on her back while flying (although she grumbles about them "ruffling her feathers"). She has brown wings, amber eyes and a "razor-sharp beak", as well as the ability to locate people at a distance without following tracks, even when they are hidden behind a Fidelius Charm. Regardless of the form she is in, she likes snacking on crickets, earthworms and beetles.

Her father works at a law firm that in 1996 was helping the Chinese Ministry of Magic with a "corporate deal" with Gringotts; he may or may not outright own the firm, but at the very least his position is high enough that he can hire an assistant more or less on a whim.
