Gervaise Ollivander

> "*You will never fool the cedar carrier.*"
> ― Gervaise Ollivander[source]
>
>

**Gervaise Ollivander** was a pure-blood wizard who came from a long line of wandmakers who had operated in Diagon Alley since his earliest ancestors arrived in England with the Romans, and set up stall (subsequently shop) to sell to ancient British wizards. He was the son of Gerbold Octavius Ollivander, and the father of Garrick Ollivander.

## Biography

### Early life

Gervaise Ollivander was born before 1890 likely, somewhere in Great Britain. He was born into the wizarding Ollivander family, who had been in the wand-making business since 382 B.C.

### Career as a wandmaker

> "*Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair, I conceived the ambition to discover the finest cores and to work only with those when my time came to take over the family business. This I have done.*"
> ― Garrick Ollivander.[source]
>
>

Gervaise took up the family business in London, studying further into wandlore and becoming an accomplished wandmaker.

He and his wife, a Muggle-born witch, had at least one child, Garrick sometime in, or prior to, 1919.

According to Gervaise, it was impossible to fool a wizard or witch who carried a wand of cedar wood, an opinion that his son shared.

As it was practise at the time, a customer would often present the wandmaker with a magical substance to which they were attached, or had inherited, or by which their family swore. As such, Gervaise used a wide variety of wand cores. Early in his career, his son Garrick saw his father working with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair, kneazle whisker and Troll whisker. It was then that he conceived the ambition to work with only the finest cores, and thus discover the ideal wand.
Nimbus 2001

The **Nimbus 2001** is a broom produced by the Nimbus Racing Broom Company as part of their successful line of racing brooms. Released in August, 1992, it was faster than its predecessor, the Nimbus 2000. It officially became the fastest broom in existence, until the launch of the Firebolt in 1993. The broom itself is black and silver with revolving stirrups. Despite the Firebolt being faster, the Nimbus 2001 is still used by the majority of Quidditch teams across the globe.[

## Known owners

The Slytherin Quidditch team was outfitted with a Nimbus 2001 each by Lucius Malfoy, with the suggestion being that the gift was in exchange for his son, Draco Malfoy being made Seeker. It is unknown whether the students who joined the team in later years, such as C. Warrington, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle, were given this model of broomstick when they joined the team or if they had to use the broomstick that they already had (if they had one). If the new players were not given Nimbus 2001s when they joined the team and did not have brooms of their own, they probably had to use one of the old school brooms.
House points

> "*While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rule-breaking will lose House points. At the end of the year, the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour.*"
> ― Minerva McGonagall to first years in 1991[source]
>
>

**House points** were awarded to students at Hogwarts and Ilvermorny that did good deeds, correctly answered a question in class, or won an inter-house Quidditch match. They could also be taken away for rule-breaking. The points were stored in House point hourglasses that showed the point totals at the bottom with stones the main colour of their house (rubies for Gryffindor, sapphires for Ravenclaw, emeralds for Slytherin, and yellow diamonds for Hufflepuff). Each student earned points for his or her House, and at the end of the year, the House with the most points would be awarded the House Cup. Teachers, as well as librarians, matrons, caretakers, the Head Boy, and the Head Girl could award or deduct points from students.

Prefects, could deduct points from student from their own house. During the 1995–1996 school year however, members of the rather short-lived Inquisitorial Squad were permitted to do so. The squad was disbanded after Dolores Umbridge's departure from Hogwarts.
Horace Slughorn's office

> "*Whether it had been built that way, or because he had used magical trickery to make it so, Slughorn's office was much larger than the usual teacher's study.*"
> ― Harry Potter's description[source]
>
>

**Horace Slughorn****'s** **office** was located on Hogwarts Castle's Sixth floor.

## Description

Fairly roomy, this office included a fireplace with two large sofas surrounding it, a round dinner table big enough to sit ten people and access to a private balcony. It had enough space to hold a Christmas party.

## History

### Under Horace Slughorn

During his second tenure as Potions Master, Horace Slughorn demanded the use of this office, not wanting the same office he occupied during his first tenure, calling it a "water closet". It was in this office Slughorn held dinner parties with his newly reinstated Slug Club. More notably, this office held a Christmas party on 20 December, 1996.

On 1 March, 1997, Harry brought Ron, who had accidently consumed several of Romilda Vane's Love Potion spiked Chocolate Cauldrons thinking they had been given to him as a gift for his seventeenth birthday to the office so that Professor Slughorn could provide them with a Love Potion Antidote. After asking if the potion had had time to strengthen, Slughorn was able to brew a proper antidote.

After taking the antidote, Slughorn shared a glass of oak-matured mead, with them as a pick-up for Ron as the effects of the love potion wore off. However, the mead had been poisoned by Madam Rosmerta who had been under the influence of the Imperius Curse by Draco Malfoy as part of his plan to assassinate Dumbledore. Harry was able to save Ron's life by the use of a Bezoar to counteract the poison as he had read in the Half-Blood Prince's copy of Advanced Potion-Making.
Miles Bletchley

**Miles Bletchley** was a wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the early 1990s. He was a member of the Slytherin Quidditch team, serving as their Keeper.

## History

### 1991–1992 school year

Bletchley played in Slytherin's match against Gryffindor this year. He was unable to block Gryffindor's only goal attempt during that match, from Angelina Johnson.

### 1992-1993 school year

Bletchley, along with the rest of the team, received a new Nimbus 2001 this year from Lucius Malfoy as an incentive to allow his son Draco onto the team as Seeker. He and the rest of the team flaunted these new broomsticks to the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He laughed along with the other members of the team at Ronald Weasley when his broken wand redirected an attempted Slug-Vomiting Charm back at him.

### 1995–1996 school year

During this year, Bletchley took part in a small plot by the Slytherin Quidditch team to jinx various members of the Gryffindor team prior to their first match. He hit Alicia Spinnet with a jinx that made her eyebrows grow excessively large. Despite doing this in front of fourteen witnesses, Severus Snape, who seemed to support this action, merely chose to assume she had used a poorly applied Hair-Thickening Charm on herself, and Bletchley was not punished.

Later, during the match itself, Bletchley managed to save at least one attempted goal by Angelina Johnson. He, along with the rest of his team and the Slytherin supporters, sang "Weasley is Our King" throughout the match in a successful attempt to unnerve Ron Weasley, Gryffindor's new Keeper.

## Etymology

"Miles" is from the Germanic name *Milo*, introduced by the Normans to England in the form *Miles*. The meaning is not known for certain. It is possibly connected to the Slavic name element *mil* meaning "gracious". From an early date it was associated with Latin *miles* "soldier".
Keeper of Keys and Grounds

The **Keeper of Keys and Grounds** (also known as the **gamekeeper** or **groundskeeper**) is a wizard employed by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to tend to and look after the grounds of the school, as well as the security of Hogwarts Castle.

## Duties

Hector Lamont

Scottish International Quidditch team

**Hector Lamont** was a Scottish wizard, and the Seeker for the Scottish International Quidditch team.

He played in the final of the 1990 Quidditch World Cup where he missed the Snitch by millimetres, leading to his team's defeat. After the game, Lamont famously lambasted his father ("Stubby" Lamont) for not giving him longer fingers.
Mulled Mead

**Madam Rosmerta**: "*Four pints of mulled mead —*"
**Rubeus Hagrid**: "*Ta, Rosmerta.*"
— Madam Rosmerta serves Rubeus Hagrid[src]

**Mulled Mead** is a kind of mead, served warm, produced by brewing a solution of honey and water, then flavouring it with spices and various fruits. Mulled Mead can be bought at the Three Broomsticks Inn, in Hogsmeade or at the Leaky Cauldron, in London.

In the winter of 1993, Rubeus Hagrid went to the Three Broomsticks Inn with Professors McGonagall and Flitwick and Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, and ordered four pints of mulled mead to himself.
Grindylow

> "*A sickly green creature with sharp little horns had its face pressed against the glass, pulling faces and flexing its long, spindly fingers.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

A **Grindylow** is a small, horned, pale-green skinned water demon native to Great Britain and Ireland.

## Life cycle

The first stage of a Grindylow's life cycle is the larval stage, where it is referred to as a Grypt. It is also known by several local names, such as a "*Pollywiggle*" in Ilkley, a "*Candypole*" in Kettlewell, and a "*Jarvis*" in Sheffield.

## Behaviour

Aggressive towards witches, wizards and muggles alike, the Grindylow has only ever been tamed by merpeople; the half-fish water dwellers who sometimes keep them as pets.

## Diet

Grindylows survive, for the most part, on fish, algae, and small sea creatures; however, occasionally they will eat humans (it is for this reason that they are classified as dark creatures).

## Habitat

These creatures are found in the weed beds at the bottom of lakes in Great Britain and Ireland.

The Grindylow is particularly prevalent in Yorkshire, where it displays a large amount of physical variation. It is generally found in still or stagnant water. In more recent years, Grindylows have taken to urban environments such as Porter Beach in the heart of Sheffield, where they shelter in submerged shopping trolleys and traffic cones.

## Physical appearance

The Grindylow is a sickly green colour, with green teeth and small pointy horns on its head. It has long, strong (albeit brittle) fingers which it uses to strangle its prey, and is a rather good swimmer, since it is adapted to live in water.

## Defence

The Grindylow has long, brittle fingers which despite their fragility are rather strong. The trick to escaping a Grindylow is to break their grip on a person; it can also be noted that the Revulsion Jinx may help with this task, as underwater it shoots jets of boiling hot water. The Ebublio Jinx is also highly useful when dealing with them underwater.

## History

Newton Scamander had several Grindylows in his suitcase during his travels to New York in 1926.

In the 1989–1990 school year, the Grindylows or the Black Lake attacked the Merpeople in the lake.

Professor Remus Lupin ordered a Grindylow in 1993 for his third year class to study for Defence Against the Dark Arts. After his resignation, he left behind the tank in which the Grindylow was kept. After the Battle of the Seven Potters, at the Burrow. Remus Lupin verified Harry's identity by asking "What **creature sat** in the **corner** the first time that **Harry Potter visited my office** at **Hogwarts**?" Harry thought if Remus is angry and he answered Grindylow.

One year later, the Grindylows of the Black Lake at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry attacked the students competing in the 1994-1995 Triwizard Tournament. They caused the early retirement from the task of Fleur Delacour, and harassed Harry Potter. Harry however managed to repel a swarm of Grindylows by using the Revulsion Jinx underwater, blasting them with hot water and releasing himself from their tight grip, allowing him to continue swimming.
Hogwarts Gobstones Team

> "*The picture showed a skinny girl of around fifteen. She was not pretty; she looked simultaneously cross and sullen, with heavy brows and a long, pallid face. Underneath the photograph was the caption: Eileen Prince, Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

The **Hogwarts Gobstones Team** was the school Gobstones team at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

During her time at Hogwarts, Eileen Prince served as Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team, and had her photo published in the *Daily Prophet* with the caption "*Eileen Prince, Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team*." Eileen was also President of the Hogwarts Gobstone Club, which, apparently, was distinct from the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.

## List of British Ministers of Magic

###

By 2019, Hermione Granger had succeeded Kingsley as Minister for Magic.
Head of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission

The **Head of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission** was a position of power within the Ministry of Magic for a short amount of time. It was created along with the Muggle-Born Registration Commission when Lord Voldemort was indirectly in control of the Ministry during the height of the Second Wizarding War, and is the leading power within this organisation. The only head of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission was Dolores Umbridge, the founder of the commission. It was never intended to be a permanent committee; however, former members were recognised for being part of the Commission.

## History

On 1 August, 1997, Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters took over the Ministry of Magic. Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour was tortured and then killed, the Imperius Cursed Pius Thicknesse was installed as a puppet in his place, and the Death Eaters began a campaign against their enemies, notably Muggle-borns. They were ordered to register with the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, which convicted them of stealing magic from "real" wizards and witches (pure-bloods) and imprisoned them in Azkaban, though the entire trial was unfair and Muggle-borns were punished whether the evidence proved them guilty or not. Some were threatened with the Dementor's Kiss, some were imprisoned, and some were stripped of their wands and jobs, and reduced to being street beggars. Those who refused to register, such as Ted Tonks, were pursued by Snatchers, sometimes fatally. Dolores Umbridge, in her position as the Head of this department, enjoyed her newfound authority and sadistically tormented the many Muggle-borns; she assigned many of her subordinates to produce anti-Muggle pamphlets in an autonomous manner, and seemed rather unpopular due to her tyrannical and sadistic manner.

The position was eliminated after Voldemort was killed by Harry Potter and the Commission was disbanded in May of 1998, its Head arrested, trialled and jailed in Azkaban for crimes against Muggle-borns, some of whom did not survive the ordeals of the prison themselves.

## Duties

*Main article: Muggle-Born Registration Commission*
* The head of the Commission conducted the trials and directed the efforts to round up Muggle-borns, which was performed by Snatchers.
* Oversaw the creation of pamphlets and similar propaganda to alert the magical community to the dangers of Muggle-borns. One such pamphlet showed a rose with a frown on its face, representing pure-bloods and a weed choking the flower, representing the Muggle-borns. The title of this particular pamphlet was *Mudbloods and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society*.

Hogsmeade station

**Hogsmeade station** is a “tiny, dark platform” where the Hogwarts Express ends its journey north from Platform Nine-And-Three-Quarters. The railway station that serves both the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Location

The station is located near the Black Lake, and from there a road extends around the lake to Hogwarts Castle. It is actually quite the distance from the village itself, being on the opposite side of the Hogwarts grounds.

The Hogwarts Express stops here after travelling from King's Cross Station's Platform Nine and Three-Quarters which like Diagon Alley, Muggles cannot penetrate. At the station is a small group of buildings, the large being a resting place for the conductor of the train. Not far down from these buildings are entrance gates to Hogwarts that are located in a clearing of the Forbidden Forest that leads up to the school grounds. Also at the end of the platform, boats are docked awaiting the arrival of Groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid and the First years.

## History

Built in the early 1800s when the Ministry of Magic began using the Hogwarts Express, a steam engine train acquired by Minister for Magic Ottaline Gambol (1827-1835) for the safe transport of Hogwarts students. Overnight the villagers of Hogsmeade realised they suddenly had a train station, while confused Muggle railway workers in Crewe suddenly felt as if they had misplaced a train thanks to Memory Modifying Charms and the "*largest mass Concealment Charm [ever] performed in Britain*".

First Years reach the station and immediately get into the small boats for the ride across the Lake. Harry could smell the pine trees near the lake from the platform.

"Horseless" carriages pulled line up along a "mud track" near the Station for the students of Year Two - Year Seven. In his Fifth Year, Harry Potter realised the carriages were pulled by Thestrals, creatures he could see because he suddenly understood the reality of Cedric Diggory's death the year before.

Murtlap Essence

> "*Here. Soak your hand in that, it's a solution of strained and pickled Murtlap tentacles, it should help.*"
> ― Hermione Granger giving Murtlap Essence to Harry Potter, after he wrote lines with the Black Quill.[source]
>
>

**Murtlap Essence** is a solution of strained and pickled tentacles of Murtlaps. It soothes painful cuts and abrasions, and helps them to heal.

## Known uses

* Hermione Granger offered Harry Potter to soak his hand in a bowl of Murtlap Essence after he was forced to use a Black Quill that cut into the back of his hand in detention with Dolores Umbridge.
* Harry later recommended the same treatment to Lee Jordan after he suffered a similar detention with Umbridge.
* Lee later suggested that Fred and George Weasley use Murtlap Essence on the boils they got testing their Fever Fudge product. As Murtlap Essence proved to be a successful remedy for the boils, they were able to finally complete their Skiving Snackboxes.
Heads Common Room

**Heads Common Room** served as a Common room for The Head Boy and Head Girl at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In general, the room is coloured with shades of red, blue, green and yellow. To represent every Hogwarts House. The room was described as being 'cosy', smaller version off the Gryffindor Common Room or Ravenclaw Common Rooms

## Entrance

The entrance to the *Heads common room'* was concealed under the portrait of a Helena Ravenclaw, on small landing just of the Seventh-floor corridor.

To enter one had to present the Helena Ravenclaw with the correct password of the week. The Head Boy and Head Girl can change their password anytime they like.

## Description

The **Heads Common Room** was a circular room where Head Boy and Girl could relax after a long day of studying. It had a few armchairs, tables, and large fireplace. The common room had many windows that looked out onto the grounds, and the Quidditch pitch. The walls were decorated with scarlet, Blue, and Green tapestries that depicted witches and wizards, but also various animals. There were also bookcases located in the room, filled with various books.

>
>

A **Headmaster** or **Headmistress** is the chief administrator of a school, be it Muggle or Magical. They make all major decisions regarding the safety and the day-to-day functioning of the school, and have the power to override any decision made by any other authoritative facilitator at the school; though in Hogwarts, with the possible exception of the Board of Governors, and during a brief period in 1996, the "High Inquisitor". A Headmaster also controls the protective enchantments surrounding the school and the ability for certain individuals to enter or exit the grounds at will.

Hit Wizard

> "*We are looking for talented young witches and wizards with a liking for danger.*"
> ― A recruitment advertisement[source]
>
>

A **Hit Wizard** or **Hit Witch** was a member of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad that were trained to deal with highly dangerous combat situations, such as high-risk arrests, riot controls and presumably, hostage situations. As such they were the Wizarding Britain's equivalent of specialist firearms officers.

## History

A team of Hit Wizards arrested Sirius Black in 1981 when he was thought to have murdered Peter Pettigrew and twelve Muggles with a single curse.

Arnold Peasegood suffered a minor attack of boils while arresting goblins during the riot in Chipping Clodbury in 1992/1993.

Hit Wizards were also needed to escort the Quidditch team members to safety during the riots that occurred at the Puddlemere United v Holyhead Harpies grudge match.

Alastor Gumboil handled applications for Hit Witches and Hit Wizards from room 919 at the Ministry.

## The job

> "*The Aurors call in the Hit Wizards when we need extra support.*"
> ― Alastor Moody[source]
>
>

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement maintained squads of trained Hit Wizards and Witches whose job it was to move out at a moment's notice in dire and dangerous situations, be it to disperse the crowd during riots or apprehend dangerous wizarding criminals once they had been located.

While Hit Wizards were trained to fight Dark Wizards, just like the Aurors, the latter appeared to differ in that unlike Hit Wizards, Aurors were more of an elite force whose abilities went far beyond simply arresting suspects such as investigation, concealment and disguise, stealth and tracking, poisons and antidotes, etc., whereas Hit Wizards appeared to be primarily a fighting and controlling force, and not trained to investigate crime.

Hoggy Warty Hogwarts

"**Hoggy Warty Hogwarts**" was the school song of Hogwarts. It was typically performed by students at the Welcoming Feast at the start of a new school year.

## History

The song apparently had no set tune, tempo, or duration. In 1991, Albus Dumbledore instructed students to simply "pick their favourite tune", conjuring an animated ribbon from the tip of his wand to write the lyrics in the air. This led to everyone finishing at different times. Fred and George Weasley, who chose to sing the song as a "a slow funeral march", were the very last to finish.

Dumbledore called for the school song when he was "feeling particularly buoyant". It was not performed after Harry Potter's first year due to times becoming darker.

## Lyrics

*Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,*

*Teach us something please,*

*Whether we be old and bald,*

*Or young with scabby knees,*

*Our heads could do with filling,*

*With some interesting stuff,*

*For now they're bare and full of air,*

*Dead flies and bits of fluff,*

*So teach us things worth knowing,*

*Bring back what we've forgot,*

*Just do your best, we'll do the rest,*

*And learn until our brains all rot.*

**Granger** was the surname of a muggle family that must have had some distant magical blood. Member Hermione Granger was a Muggle-born witch, and her children, Rose and Hugo Granger-Weasley were half-bloods.

## Family history

On September 19th, 1979, Mr and Mrs Granger had their first and only child, Hermione Jean Granger. Hermione's parents were both dentists and were accepting of the wizarding world and proud of her accomplishments. In 1997, Hermione modified their memories so that they believed they were Wendell and Monica Wilkins and moved to Australia in order to protect them from Death Eaters. After the Second Wizarding War ended, she found them and restored their memories.

The Grangers were related by marriage to the wizarding Weasley, Prewett, Potter, Black, Delacour, and Johnson families.

## Family members

### Granger relatives

 Ginevra Molly Potter | Only daughter, and the youngest in the family; played Quidditch for the Holyhead Harpies before becoming a Quidditch correspondent for the *Daily Prophet*; wife of Harry Potter.

## Etymology

The surname Granger is derived from *grange*, a term for a barn or farm with buildings that store grain, thus 'granger' is a term for a farm bailiff. Also, "Granger" is a term for a member of the Grange Movement of the United States, which involved agricultural activism in the nineteenth century, possibly alluding to Hermione Granger's activism on behalf of house-elves.

Moontrimmer

The **Moontrimmer** was a broomstick created by Gladys Boothby in 1901. Designed with a slim ash handle and the ability to fly higher than other brooms (and remain controllable) at the time, the brooms were a revolution in broomstick design, and were in great demand by Quidditch players. However, working on her own, Gladys was never able to keep up with the demand for them.

The **Magical Law Enforcement Patrol**, also known as the **Magical Law Enforcement Squad**, was a subdivision of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic, comprised of a team of wizards and witches tasked with general law enforcement. Trained Hit Wizards were a part of the Squad and were dispatched to deal with high-profile arrests.

## History

> "*Nobody but trained Hit Wizards from the Magical Law Enforcement Squad would have stood a chance against Black once he was cornered.*"
> ― The Squad is mentioned[source]

The Magical Law Enforcement Squad was headed by Bob Ogden in the 1920s. Ogden ventured to Little Hangleton to arrest Morfin Gaunt, who had been using magic against local Muggles. Morfin and his father Marvolo resisted arrest, however; thus Ogden later returned with support and arrested both Gaunts.

The *Daily Prophet* reported in its 29 November 1926 issue that the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol was currently recruiting.

In November, 1981 Hit Wizards from the Magical Law Enforcement Squad were dispatched to deal with the cornered Sirius Black, who was suspected of killing 12 muggles and Peter Pettigrew. It was believed that Black was deranged and only these trained Hit Wizards were able to deal with him.

During a conversation in the Three Broomsticks, the then Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge mentioned the Squad when talking of Sirius Black and his capture.

Arthur Weasley mentioned to Harry Potter, after the latter's disciplinary hearing in 1995, that the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol would deal with the culprit behind the Regurgitating Toilets in Bethnal Green, a prediction in which Arthur was sadly mistaken, as Willy Widdershins cut a deal with the Minister to spy on Harry and the members of Dumbledore's Army in order to escape punishment for his own activities.

The Squad made arrests after rioting in Chipping Clodbury broke out during a meeting between the Brotherhood of Goblins (B.O.G.) and the Ministry to discuss goblin rights.

They also handled security at the Holyhead Harpies vs. Puddlemere United Quidditch match on Ilkley Moor hoping to avoid the trouble that had occurred at previous matches — even taking the extraordinary step of confiscating wands from fans — but trouble ensued anyway.
Nogtail

he **Nogtail** was a demon resembling a stunted piglet, but with narrow black eyes, a thick stubby tail, and long legs.

## Description

It was mainly found across rural areas in Europe, the Americas, and Russia. Nogtails sneaked into pigsties and suckle on an ordinary pig, which cursed the farm. The longer the Nogtail went undetected, the longer the blight would stay on the farm.

Fast and hard to catch, the only way to make sure the Nogtail would not come back was to chase it away with a pure white dog. The Pest Sub-Division of the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures maintained a pack of a dozen albino bloodhounds specifically for this purpose.

Some people also hunted Nogtails for recreation. For example, Tiberius took his nephew Cormac McLaggen and colleagues Bertie Higgs and Rufus Scrimgeour hunting for Nogtails in Norfolk. Horace Slughorn owned a book on this subject, which he offered to loan to McLaggen at the start of the 1996–1997 school year.

Horklump

The **Horklump** is a magical beast which resembles a fleshy pink mushroom covered in sparse, coarse black bristles. Despite its appearance, it is not a plant or fungus, but an animal.

## Nature

### Physiology and ecology

Horklumps originated in Scandinavia, but eventually spread throughout northern Europe, and could be found in Scotland by 1991. They resemble fleshy pink mushrooms covered in a sparse scattering of coarse black bristles. Despite their fungi-like appearance, Horklumps are animals. Their preferred prey is the earthworm, which they hunt using the thin, muscular tentacles that they spread underground (similar to how fungi spread mycelia). Horklumps are very fast breeders and could cover an average-sized garden in only a few days.

Horklumps are the favourite food of the gnome. Streeler venom is a known substances that can kill Horklumps.

### Use by and interaction with humans

Horklumps had no discernible use to wizards and witches, according to the famous magizoologist Newt Scamander, and were given the classification "XX" ("harmless / may be domesticated") by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. However, their juice was used in a range of potions, including the Wiggenweld Potion. and Herbicide Potion.

It is rumoured that Honoria, the aunt of Albus Dumbledore, called off her engagement to a wizard because she was shocked to catch him in the act of fondling some Horklumps (although she insisted it was because he was cold-hearted).

In his book *Marauding with Monsters*, Gilderoy Lockhart wrote of how he once supposedly visited some fans in rural Essex, and helped clear a path through their Horklump-infested yard. Afterward, the fans allegedly offered him some of their homemade Celery and Beetroot Wine in gratitude, which he graciously declined. However, like most of Lockhart's accounts, this story may have been greatly exaggerated or completely fabricated.

Lockhart recommended the following method for removing a Horklump in his book *Marauding with Monsters*: hitting it with a Knockback Jinx, taking a firm hold of it, and then twisting and yanking it out of the ground.
List of oldest wizards

This is a list of wizards and witches who had reached the oldest ages known. It includes only those who had lived to age 100 or beyond. Individuals of other long-living species, such as vampires, are excluded.

Wizardkind could live much longer lives than Muggles, with the Ministry of Divine Health announcing in the Daily Prophet in 1995 that the life expectancy of wizards and witches had reached 137¾ years. Some were known to have greatly exceeded this expectation, with a few of the eldest known having lived for several hundred years.

However, it was notable that two of the longest lived, Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel, were dependent on the alchemical potion known as the Elixir of Life to achieve their long lives and passed away soon after their supply was depleted, indicating that such ages were not the norm.

Lovegood family

**Lovegood** was the surname of a wizarding family. They lived in a house near Ottery St Catchpole in Devon, England, and thus close to the Weasley, Fawcett, and Diggory families. They were Half-blood having Muggle as well as wizarding heritage.

The Lovegoods were generally regarded as unusual by mainstream wizarding society, as they tended to hold and espouse belief in things most others do not believe in, often published in the family magazine, *The Quibbler*. The Lovegoods are related by marriage to the Scamander family, as Luna Lovegood married Rolf Scamander and had two children, Lorcan and Lysander, with him.

## Family history

The Lovegood family did not become well known until the late 20th century. They were still considered to be Half-blood. They became very well known through their eccentric beliefs and by their role in the Second Wizarding War.

Xenophilius Lovegood married Pandora Lovegood sometime before 1981, when their daughter and only child, Luna Lovegood, was born. They lived in a house which looked like a rook chess piece by Ottery St Catchpole in Devon. In about 1990, Pandora died when she was hit with one of her own spells. Xenophilius then looked after Luna alone, and she began attending Hogwarts in 1992 where she was placed in Ravenclaw house.

 File:The Quibbler - 1996.jpg
Xenophilius was the editor of The Quibbler, which was considered strange even by wizarding standards. Luna became friends with Harry Potter in 1995, and she helped him get an interview to be published in The Quibbler entitled "HARRY POTTER SPEAKS OUT AT LAST: THE TRUTH ABOUT HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED AND THE NIGHT I SAW HIM RETURN". It was brave considering at the time, no one believed him including the Daily Prophet.

Luna went on to help at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996. By 1997, when the Ministry of Magic fell to the Death Eaters, The Quibbler continued to show support for Harry Potter. Eventually, the Death Eaters decided to put a stop to it, and took Luna to Malfoy Manor where she stayed for several months. When Xenophilius was visited by Harry, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley, he told the Death Eaters in the hope of getting Luna back. When they got away, Xenophilius was sent to Azkaban by the Death Eaters. Luna was later saved by the trio, and went on to survive the Battle of Hogwarts. Xenophilius left Azkaban soon after. Luna became a Magizoologist and married Rolf Scamander, with who she had two children, Lorcan and Lysander.

McLaggen family

**McLaggen** is the surname of a wizarding family. It was historically Pure-blood, but now Half-blood.

## Family Members

* Harriet Potter (née McLaggen) — Wife of  Thomas Potter,mother of

George Potter, William A Potter, Penelope Potter

* Cormac McLaggen — a Gryffindor student who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s.
* Mr McLaggen — father of Cormac.

## Possible Relations

* Tiberius, a friend of Bertie Higgs and Rufus Scrimgeour, was an uncle of Cormac McLaggen, but it is unknown on what side of the family and whether through blood or marriage.

## Etymology

McLaggen is a Scottish surname, an anglicised form of the Gaelic *Mac Gille Adhagain*, meaning "son of the servant of Adocan."

J. K. Rowling revealed that she discovered the surname while writing (HBP) and felt compelled to use it for a character because she thought it was "too good to waste".
Hogwarts Gobstone Club

**Second-year**: "*Does this mean they're going to shut down the Gobstones Club?*"
**Ronald Weasley**: "*I reckon you'll be okay with Gobstones.*"
— A group of anxious second-years learn of Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four[src]

The **Hogwarts Gobstone Club**(also called the **Gobstones Club**) was a recreational club at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for students interested in playing Gobstones. It was distinct from the Hogwarts Gobstones Team, which presumably played the game on a competitive level.

## History

Circa the early 1940s, Eileen Prince was the President of the Hogwarts Gobstone Club, in addition to being the Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.

In the 1990s, the club was apparently headed by Marcus Fenwick, and met up at lunchtime in Classroom 22b on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle. A sign-up sheet for the club was posted on the Gryffindor bulletin board during this period. Students who signed up included Andrew Snowy Owl, Toad Toazer, Curt Hanger, Winky Crockett, Ruth Winikus, Miraphora Mina, and Jo King.

Following the enactment of Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four by High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge in 1995, which forcibly disbanded all student organisations, a second-year student was overheard wondering if this included the Gobstones Club by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Ron sarcastically told the student "*I reckon you'll be okay with Gobstones*.
Highlands

The **Highlands** is a historic region of Scotland, to the north-west of the Highland Boundary Fault, which crosses mainland Scotland in a near-straight line. The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis.

Hogwarts Castle, located "not far" from Dufftown, was located in the Scottish Highlands, as was located the only all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade. Minerva McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts School, was raised in the Scottish Highlands, in Caithness.

The Highlands are also the site of many lakes and other bodies of water, such as Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, and the Black Lake. Herbologist Hadrian Whittle wrote a book on the magical flora of the lochs in the Highlands, titled *Magical Water Plants of the Highland Lochs*. The Vale of McGowan was also the site of a spring.
