Hebridean Black

The **Hebridean Black** was a huge dragon that could grow up to 30 feet in length. It was one of the native dragons of Britain, found in Scotland. It appeared in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* and *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*.

## About

The dragon was very large, growing up to thirty feet in length. They needed a territory up to 100 miles. They had rough-scales, "brilliant" purple eyes and bat-like wings. Short, razor-sharp ridges went down its back, and its tail was tipped by an arrow-shaped spike.

They fed mainly on deer, but it was known for eating large dogs and cattle too. The dragon was one of only two found in Britain and Ireland, but it was far more dangerous than the Common Welsh Green.

## History

The wizarding MacFusty family from Hebridean took to managing the dragons for centuries.

## About

The company produces drills. Vernon Dursley is an executive and he has an office on the ninth floor. They give their employees company cars.

## History

In the autumn of 1981, many of the people who worked at the company noticed the many owls flying the whole day over the building in celebration of Voldemort's defeat. Vernon never noticed because he worked in an office on the ninth floor. He phoned loads of people and shouted at five people that day. The company had their own car park and there was a bakery across the road.

He went to the bakery for lunch and then went back to the office worried about what he heard people in cloaks saying in the bakery about the Potter family. He snapped at the secretary and dialled home in order to ask Petunia what her nephew's name was, but then decided not to. He left work at five and bumped into an old man in a violet cloak outside, who again mentioned the wizarding world.

In the summer of 1993, Vernon was given a new company car.

Molly Weasley's second cousin

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.

## Character information

### Family

Gideon Prewett (second cousin)
Fabian Prewett (second cousin)
Molly Weasley (second cousin)

## Book information

### First appearance

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

**Molly Weasley's second cousin** was a character in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*. He was an accountant in the Muggle world, who the Weasley family don't like to speak of. Ronald Weasley told Harry Potter that Molly Weasley had an accountant for a second cousin when he asked Ron whether everyone in the family were wizards.

## Behind the scenes

* In an early draft of the books, this cousin was married to a Muggle woman and they had a daughter, Mafalda who happened to be a witch. He asked Arthur and Molly for help in introducing Mafalda to the wizarding world (suggesting he was actually a Squib). Even though he was rude to them in the past, they took her in during the summer of 1994 when she was eleven. Arthur and Molly found Mafalda was not very rude and thought her parents only sent her away because of that.

## Notes and sources

1. ↑ In *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, when asked if everyone in the Weasley family were wizards, Ron told Harry that he had a second cousin who was an accountant. Since Molly was a pure-blood, he had to have wizard ancestry so he was very likely a Squib.

— Rubeus Hagrid

**Knockturn Alley** is a shady shopping area near Diagon Alley. It appears throughout the *Harry Potter book series*.

## About

Leaky Cauldron

"*This is it — the Leaky Cauldron. It's a famous place.*"
— Rubeus Hagrid to Harry Potter[src]

The **Leaky Cauldron** is a wizarding pub and inn which hid the entrance to Diagon Alley. It is a very popular place. It appeared throughout the *Harry Potter book series*.

## About

The pub is located on Charing Cross Road. It is a shabby-looking pub with a wall hiding the entrance to Diagon Alley. If the right brick is tapped three times, an archway appears which leads to Diagon Alley.

Inside the pub, down a narrow corridor, is a small parlour. It has chairs and a fireplace which sprung to life when the landlord clicks their fingers. Each lodging room is numbered with brass letterings and luggage could be taken up by a worker. These lodgings are at the top of a handsome, wooden staircase. Each room contains polished oak furniture, comfortable beds, a fireplace, a wardrobe and a bathroom with a talking mirror. It spoke in a wheezy voice. There are at least twelve lodgings.

There is a main hall where food and drink are served at a bar. Breakfast is served every day. Each lodging is tidied in the daytime. It was connected to the Floo Network.

## History

In the summer of 1991, Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid went through the pub to reach Diagon Alley. The landlord, Tom greeted Harry, and many of customers including Doris Crockford and Dedalus Diggle copied. Harry spoke to Quirinus Quirrell for the first time and found out he was teaching at Hogwarts School.

In the summer of 1992, Arthur Weasley took Mr and Mrs Granger to chat for an hour. Their company parted ways at the pub later and the Weasley family and Harry took the Floo Network back to The Burrow.

In August of 1993, Harry and Marge Dursley had an argument and he accidentally inflated her. He thought he was in trouble and run away. He took the Knight Bus and decided to spend an evening at the Leaky Cauldron. He later arrived but found Cornelius Fudge waiting near the entrance. Tom showed up bearing a lantern and took Fudge and Harry to a private parlour. He gave them tea and crumpets while they talked.

Fudge and Tom arranged for Harry to stay in room number eleven until September. He was asked not to wander for due to the escaped convict, Sirius Black. Tom had taken Harry's luggage up and let Hedwig in. Harry thought he was very lucky and looked out the window until going to sleep. Harry had breakfast in the Leaky Cauldron every day. For the final evening of summer, Hermione Granger and the Weasley family stayed for Harry. Ron and Percy Weasley took room number twelve. That evening, they had a five-course dinner, including chocolate cake. Ron left Rat Tonic in the bar when he left to pack his bags for Hogwarts. Harry offered to get it during which he overheard Molly and Arthur talking about Black and learned that he wanted to kill him.

Gadding with Ghouls

**Gadding with Ghouls** is a book written by Gilderoy Lockhart. It appears in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*.

Lockhart was a fraud who claimed the book was about his true encounters with ghouls. However, he had stolen the story from another witch or wizard and used a spell to erase their memory of it. The book talks about slow-acting venoms. He details how he trapped the ghoul in a tea-strainer. He thought it was "possibly my very favourite" book.

In 1992, Lockhart started teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He asked every student regardless of their year to buy and bring a copy for their lessons. It was sold at Flourish and Blotts. Lockhart gave Harry Potter a copy of the book along with his collection of work for free at a book signing. Harry gave it to Ginny Weasley.

In order to trick Lockhart into signing a permission slip for her to enter the Restricted Section of the Hogwarts library, Hermione Granger flattered him by talking about *Gadding with Ghouls* and how she was inspired to research what Lockhart wrote about.

Muggle Protection Act

The **Muggle Protection Act** was a bylaw written by Arthur Weasley of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office at the Ministry of Magic. It was designed to protect Muggles from potentially dangerous magical artefacts.

The law enabled the office to conduct raids at houses and businesses in search of Dark artefacts. However, it was very unpopular with many witches and wizards, especially pure-bloods, who thought it was offensive. They presumably didn't want their possessions to be searched because many including Lucius Malfoy collected and kept such Dark artefacts.

## History

Arthur proposed the law before 4 August 1992. Lucius Malfoy was very opposed to the Protection Act. He was targeted by Arthur Weasley and was worried enough to start selling a lot of the Dark artefacts he had collected to Borgin and Burkes. He then tried to sabotage Arthur's career to delay and get the Act cancelled. He gave Tom Riddle's Diary to Ginevra Weasley which that led to the opening of the Chamber of Secrets. The law was passed but in September, Arthur was found in violation of another law he had created, having enchanted a Ford Anglia. In December, Lucius called for Muggle Protection Act to get scrapped because the wizard who proposed it was no longer trustworthy enough to create and uphold laws.

Headless Hunt

The **Headless Hunt** is an organisation of beheaded ghosts led by Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore. They have a strict rule that they will not accept ghosts whose head is not completely beheaded. It appears in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*.

## About

The Headless Hunt is an organisation that a ghost has to apply to. If they are completely beheaded, they are accepted. They send a transparent letter to the applicant to inform them if they are accepted or not.

## History

In 1992, Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington applied to join the Headless Hunt. However, because he was only nearly headless and it hung to his body by a sinew, his application was declined. Nick was very upset and thought it was absurd that a piece of sinew meant he was not good enough and ranted about it to Harry Potter.

The Headless Hunt attended Nick's 500th Deathday Party. Upon their arrival, Sir Patrick sounded a hunting horn and they waltzed in on horses, galloping to the dance floor. Patrick then held his head high above the crowd for a laugh. They later interrupted Sir Nick's speech with a game of Head Hockey.

High Table

The **High Table** is a long table in the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle. It appears in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* to *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*. The staff of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are seated here during mealtimes and special occasions.

In 1993, the Christmas feast only had thirteen people in attendance so the High Table and house tables were taken out of the Great Hall and a smaller, single table placed in the middle of the Great Hall.

History of Magic

**History of Magic** is a subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first year until at least the fifth year. It is an in-depth study of the history of the wizarding world. The only known Professor is Cuthbert Binns who died while he was in the Staff-room and continued to teach when he was a ghost.

## About

The subject is taught to every student in the first year to at least the fifth year when they take their O.W.L.s. In their sixth year, students have the option of continuing the subject for their N.E.W.Ts if they achieve a high enough O.W.L. grade.

The subject is not a practical one so magic is not used during lessons. The lessons are a series of lectures about various notable events and people in the wizarding world. The classroom is large.

The only known Professor to teach the subject is Professor Cuthbert Binns. He died in a chair in the staff-room, transforming into a ghost who got back up and continued teaching. He is considered a boring teacher who drones on. The students spend hours writing down names and dates until they stopped paying proper attention.

## History

Binns preferred to focus on known facts, even calling the Chamber of Secrets a "legend" he didn't want to teach about. Harry and Ron found it exceptionally boring and passed their O.W.L. exam by borrowing Hermione's notes. Hermione was the only one who could stand Professor Binn's droning voice and pay attention. He was known to call students by the wrong names.

Garrick Ollivander

**Garrick Ollivander** was a character in the *Harry Potter book series*.

Ollivander was a wizard and one of the greatest wandmakers ever known. He was the owner of Ollivanders Wand Shop, selling wands to generations of witches and wizards.

In the summer of 1996, he was kidnapped by Voldemort for information about wands during a search for the Elder Wand. He was saved by Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger and Dobby in spring 1998, and he imparted knowledge about wands and the Deathly Hallows.

## Biography

### Early life

Garrick Ollivander was born into the Ollivander family. He inherited the family's wand shop, Ollivanders.

Garrick proved to have exceptional talent for wandmaking. He was very good at remembering every wand he ever sold, and he was very smart and particularly knowledgable about wandlore. Garrick loved a challenge and took great enthusiasm when a customer was struggling to find the right wand. But he was very eccentric in character, and could appear odd and peculiar. He used only three wand cores, and not one wand he made was the same.

It's unknown when Garrick took over the family business but it was by the summer of 1938 when Tom Riddle purchased a wand from him. He also sold wands to Rubeus Hagrid in 1939, and James Potter and Lily Evans in 1971.

### Philosopher's Stone

In July 1991, Harry Potter purchased a wand at Ollivanders. He had thought that Harry could be popping by any day now. He thought Harry looked like Lily and without blinking, started telling him about the wands that she and James purchased. He explained that he would never have given Tom Riddle a wand if he knew what he was going to do. He asked about Hagrid's wand, and whether they broke it when he was expelled.

Ollivander measured Harry while he explained how the wand selected the wizard, not the other way round. Ollivander gave Harry a few wands but he could not find the right one, which he was very happy about. He gave him a wand of an unusual combination, holly and phoenix feather, and it proved to be the right wand. Ollivander thought it was curious because the phoenix feather was given by a creature who gave only two feathers, the other being in Voldemort's wand. He was fascinated by Voldemort's power.

## Appearance

In the summer of 1991, Garrick was an elderly man with wide, pale eyes which shined silver.
