Goshawk family

**Goshawk** is the surname of a wizarding family that lived in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Members of this family are typically half-blood or pure-blood, and sorted into Slytherin or Ravenclaw House. Recent members that have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry include Miranda Goshawk, author of *The Standard Book of Spells*, who attended from 1932 to 1939.

By the early 20th century, the Goshawks were relatively impoverished, and youngsters, like Miranda Goshawk, had to resort to "embarrassing" hand-me-down robes. The Goshawk family is known for being one of the largest wizarding families, consisting of many descendants, just like the Gamps and the Weasleys.

## History

### Early history

The family likely originated in the middle ages. It is believed that John Goshawk, a wizard who lived in the 14th century, was the founder of this family, and the surname stuck possibly due to his bird Patronus, which took the form of a medium sized raptor.

### Recent history

The Goshawks, similar to the Gamps and the Weasleys, soon gained a reputation for having lots of children, beginning in the mid-19th century. Because they never had a favourable reputation, the Goshawks were excluded from *The Pureblood Directory,* which was published in the 1930s. By the early 20th century, the Goshawks were relatively impoverished, and youngsters, like Miranda Goshawk, had to resort to "embarrassing" hand-me-down robes.
