Muggle world

The **Muggle world** is a society in which Muggles live and interact separate from wizarding society. The two communities are kept separate through the wizard's use of charms, spells, and secrecy. Muggles are forbidden by wizards to know anything about magic due to the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in the wizarding world which is governed by the Ministry of Magic, sparing some relatives of wizards such as parents and spouses.

## Government

The Muggle government is very different from that of the wizarding world. The British Muggle world is nominally headed by the King or Queen, but he or she holds little power in practise. The reigning Queen in the 1990s was Elizabeth II. The Prime Minister is the central authority of the Muggle government, and there are other ministers heading different departments. The Muggle government maintains numerous departments and offices and is highly organised and efficient.

The **International Magical Office of Law** is a division of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, although its exact function are uncertain.
Hogwarts boats

> "*The little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy which hid a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of under-ground harbour, where they clambered out onto the rocks.*"
> ― The first year students' boat journey to Hogwarts[source]
>
>

The **Hogwarts boats** are traditionally used to transport the first year students, accompanied by Hogwarts gamekeeper Hagrid across the Black Lake from Hogsmeade station to the castle at the start of the school year. At the end of the school year, first years take the boats back across the lake to Hogsmeade Station.

During the Hogwarts graduation ceremony, the seventh-years ride the boats back across the lake as they leave the school for the last time.

## History

During the start of term journey across the lake in 1994, Dennis Creevey fell out of his boat, but was rescued by the Giant Squid.

At the start of the 1995–1996 school year, the first years were accompanied across the lake by Professor Grubbly-Plank, as Hagrid had gone on a mission for Professor Dumbledore.

During the same school year, Fred and George Weasley and their friend Lee Jordan asked Harry Potter to assist them in hiding some packages of fireworks in the boats.

## Overview

The boats disembark at a boat dock under the castle, but stairs lead to the lawn, while entry to the castle proper is made through the front doors. Each boat can hold up to four students, while Hagrid gets a boat to himself. The boats only transport first years to the school, as second to seventh years travel in carriages. The boats move without the aid of paddles, seemingly at Hagrid's command.
Hector Podmore

**Hector Podmore** was a British wizard who worked as a Minister in the British Ministry of Magic.

## Biography

On 6 December 1926, he attended an emergency meeting of the International Confederation of Wizards to discuss the magical disturbances happening in New York. He questioned Newt Scamander about his reasons for being in New York and was sceptical of the reply that he was there to buy an Appaloosa Puffskein.
Murtlap

The **Murtlap** was a magical marine beast resembling a rat with a growth on its back resembling a sea anemone, found on the coastal areas of Britain.

## Nature

The favoured prey of the Murtlap were crustaceans, though they also went for the feet of any human foolish enough to step on them.

### Uses

The growth on the Murtlap's back may be pickled and eaten to improve one's resistance to jinxes, although eating an excess of pickled murtlap may cause one to grow unsightly purple ear hair. Murtlap Essence was a home remedy for cuts and abrasions. Murtlap tentacles were included in Murtlap Essence which Hermione let Harry dip his hand in to heal the cuts after his detention with Dolores Umbridge. Getting bit by a Murltlap was usually not serious, but some serious reactions to it can cause sweating, twitching and flames out of the anus.

## History

A Murtlap escaped from Newton Scamander's suitcase during his visit to New York in 1926 and attacked No-Maj Jacob Kowalski. Newton Scamander and Porpentina Goldstein found Jacob unconscious after the attack and when the responsible Murtlap burst from hiding, Newt quickly grabbed it and put it back in his case.

Fwooper

he **Fwooper** was a magical African bird with brightly-coloured feathers, which could include orange, pink, lime green and yellow.

## Description

Listening to the Fwooper's high pitched, twittering song would drive the listener insane, so each bird must be sold with a Silencing Charm placed on it. The Charm had to be reinforced monthly, and a licence was required to own one of the birds.

Fwooper feathers were used as quills, and they laid patterned eggs.

A Fwooper was featured on the front window of Magical Menagerie at Diagon Alley.

The four colour varieties of the Fwooper were used to represent the number four, in the runic alphabet.

## History

Uric the Oddball once tried to convince the Wizards' Council that the Fwooper song was actually beneficial to a Wizard's health, and listened to it continuously for three months. His presentation did not go well, when he turned up wearing nothing but a toupee that, on closer examination, was revealed to be a dead badger.

Newton Scamander had a Fwooper in his suitcase during his visit to New York in 1926.

The handling of Fwoopers was covered in sixth year Care of Magical Creatures classes during the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, by Professor Silvanus Kettleburn.

Maximilian Crowdy

**Minister Maximilian Crowdy** was Minister for Magic from 1770 to 1781, elected by the British and Irish Wizarding population at least twice. A father of nine, Crowdy was a charismatic leader who routed out several extremist pure-blood groups planning Muggle attacks. His mysterious death in office has been the subject of numerous books and conspiracy theories.

Maximilian Crowdy was the sitting Minister for Magic in 1777, when American wizards argued for and against interventionism in the Revolutionary War. When President Elizabeth McGilliguddy sought the advice of the Ministry of Magic to find out whether they intended to intervene on their side, Minister Crowdy replied with only a four-word message — "*Sitting this one out*". McGilliguddy replied back with an even shorter message — "*Mind you do*". Neither MACUSA or the Ministry of Magic intervened in the war.
Mather family

**Mather** is the surname of a wizarding family, they are possibly extinct. It is known they have both Muggle and magical heritage.

## Known members

* Emily Mather — a witch reported missing in 1997
* Gabriella Mather — a witch reported missing in 1997

## Etymology

The surname "Mather" derives from the Old English word *moethere*, meaning "one who mows," an occupation which was important in medieval times when hay was used to feed livestock, thatch roofs, and make bedding.
Mudblood-lover

> "*Well, you know his opinion of Dumbledore — the man’s such a Mudblood-lover...*"
> ― Draco Malfoy on his father's low opinion of Albus Dumbledore[source]
>
>

***"Mudblood-lover"*** was a disparaging term for a pure-blood or half-blood wizard or witch who was tolerant towards Muggle-born wizards and witches. The more commonly used term for such an individual was "blood traitor." Prejudiced pure-bloods despise Muggles and Muggle-borns, referring to the latter by the extremely offensive slur "Mudblood."

## History

Draco Malfoy once referred to Albus Dumbledore as a "Mudblood-lover," citing it as the reason that his father originally wanted him to attend Durmstrang Institute instead of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Durmstrang was run by former Death Eater Igor Karkaroff and did not admit Muggle-borns as students, unlike Hogwarts.

Jelly-Legs Curse

> "*Jelly-Legs Curse: Point your wand directly at your enemy and shout* Locomotor Wibbly!'**"**
> ― Vindictus Viridian, *Curses and Counter-Curses*[source]
>
>

The **Jelly-Legs Curse**, also known as the **Jelly-Legs Jinx** (*Locomotor Wibbly*) was a dark charm that caused the victim's legs to collapse as if they were turned to jelly. This spell was covered in *Curses and Counter-Curses* by Professor Vindictus Viridian.

This spell would have unpleasant side effects if used in conjunction with the Pimple Jinx, namely causing little tentacles to sprout all over the victim's face.

## Known users

 Neville Longbottom | September 1996 | Neville used this spell during their first sixth year Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson on Hermione Granger, but she used a nonverbal Shield Charm to block it.

Nimbus 2000

> "*One of the Nimbus Racing Broom Company's most successful models. Highly reliable with good speed and exceptional handling — not for beginners!*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

The **Nimbus 2000** is a broom produced by the Nimbus Racing Broom Company as part of their successful line of racing brooms. At the time of it's release in 1991, it was the fastest broomstick in production. The Nimbus 2000 easily outperformed its competitors on the Quidditch pitch until it was replaced as the top broomstick by the Nimbus 2001.

## History

> "*Sleek and shiny, with “Nimbus Two Thousand” inscribed in gold at the top of its mahogany handle, it has a tail of neat, straight twigs.*"
> ― Design[source]
>
>

The broom was released in or before August 1991 and became the best broom on offer at the time. It was very popular but expensive to purchase. The broom handle was made of mahogany, and appeared sleek and shiny. It had a long tail of neat twigs with the words "Nimbus Two Thousand" written in gold near the top of the handle. It was also light and speedy.

### Harry's broomstick

*Main article: Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 broomstick*
Harry Potter received one from Minerva McGonagall, when he joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team as the new Seeker. He owned it for two years until the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Quidditch match in November 1993.
Harry fell off the broom when dementors appeared on the pitch, and it struck the Whomping Willow. Later, when Harry asked about his broomstick, Ron uncovered the damaged remains in the Hospital Wing, the broom having been reduced to splinters.

Head Boy or Girl

A **Head Boy** or **Head Girl** is a seventh year student who has authority over Prefects at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each year, both a Head Boy and a Head Girl are selected by the current Headmaster of Hogwarts. The pair of students are instructed to do duties to assist the school. They lead both the prefects and (in many cases) the entire student body.

## Appointment

At the beginning of the school year the Headmaster appoints one Head Boy and one Head Girl from all of the seventh year students. These students are chosen because of their academic achievement, outstanding reputation as a student, and an honest, good, and hard-working personality.

Prefects may have a greater chance of being appointed to this position, as both have similar expectations on the student, however this is not a prerequisite. If a prefect is elected, they may not be replaced and would then serve in both capacities.

## Duties

One of the duties known of the Head Boy and Head Girl is to instruct the Prefects of their duties on the Hogwarts Express in the Prefects' carriage. On the train, the Head Boy and Girl can be seen telling the prefects when they will need to patrol the train.

Head Boys and Girls also have special responsibilities whenever required. In 1993, when Sirius Black had broken into Hogwarts, Dumbledore asked the Head Boy and Head Girl to watch over the students in the Great Hall while he and the rest of the staff searched for Black in the castle.

Other duties of the Head Boy and Head Girl are unknown.

## Recognition

The trophy room contains a list of Head Boys and Head Girls. The Head Boy and Head Girl are in charge of the Prefects and should be an example to the other students. Head Boys and Girls also have the special privilege of being able to use the Prefects' bathroom in the case that they are not Prefects. The Head Boy and Head Girl, also have their only Heads Common Room.

Spirit

A **Spirit** was one of of the three classifications used by the Ministry of Magic to catalogue the various magical creatures that inhabited the wizarding world (the others being Beast and Being). The classification was created in 1811 by Minister for Magic Grogan Stump, who formed the Spirit Division as part of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

## History

The Spirit Division was formed when Ghosts complained that it was insensitive to classify them as "beings" when they were so clearly "has-beens". Banned from Burdock Muldoon's first definition of Beings since they glided instead of walked, they were classified as Beings under Elfrida Clagg's revision of the definition. However, they left Clagg's summit in disgust at the way the meeting focused more on the matters of the living than on the matters of the dead.

## Related creatures

Several creatures appear to fall within the Spirit definition but have never been directly classified as such.

Hogwarts Quidditch pitch

> "*Hundreds of seats were raised in stands around the pitch so the spectators were high enough to see what was going on. At either end of the pitch were golden poles with hoops on the end.*"

>

Hogwarts has its own **Quidditch pitch** where Quidditch teams could practise, hold try-outs and play matches against each other. Each year will see a total of six inter-house matches (each house competing for the Quidditch Cup), along with numerous training sessions by each house team.

## Description

The stands surrounding the pitch are decorated differently for each Quidditch match at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Every second stand would be decorated with the colours of one team, and every other stand with the colours of the opposing team. Spectators would sit in between these stands.

## History

Licensing Wizengamot of Great Britain

*Licensing Wizengamot of Great Britain'* was apparently a regulatory authority which licenced wizarding alcoholic beverages produced and/or sold within the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic. Bungbarrel Spiced Mead, made by the Mina Meadery of Aynha, was registered with this agency. It is possible that LWGB has something to do with the Wizengamot found inside the Ministry of Magic.

Grogan Stump

> "[A being is] *any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws.*"
> ― Grogan Stump.[source]
>
>

**Minister Grogan Stump** (1770-1884) was Minister for Magic from 1811 to 1819 and was very popular in the job. His legacy includes the creation of the Being, Beast and Spirit Divisions of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and the establishment of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. He was elected Minister by the Wizarding population in Great Britain and Ireland at least twice.

## Biography

### Early life

Stump was born in 1770, somewhere in Great Britainto at least one magical parent. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from c. 1781 to 1788, where he was Sorted into Hufflepuff.

### As Minister for Magic

In 1811, at age 41, Stump began his duties as a Minister for Magic. Stump particularly addressed the nomenclature of beings and beasts. He decreed that a being was "*any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws*", and by doing so, he settled a debate that had been going on in the wizarding world since the fourteenth century. Stump created the three divisions of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures: Being, Beast, as well as later Spirit Divisions.

It is likely that during Stump's tenure in office there were ghost demonstrations at the Ministry of Magic (or "protest floats"), which caused Stump to create the aforementioned Spirit Division.

A passionate Quidditch fan, supporting the Tutshill Tornados, Minister Stump also was responsible for establishing the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

Stump's term eventually ended in 1819, and he was succeeded by Josephina Flint.
Hogwarts Railways

**Hogwarts Railways** was the presumable owner/operator of the trains that stopped at Hogsmeade Station. The only known train to do so is the Hogwarts Express, which carries Hogwarts students from London (King's Cross Station) to Hogsmeade (Hogsmeade Station). The Hogwarts Express Railway Authorities issue regulations to the Hogwarts Railways.

Mooncalf

The **Mooncalf** is a shy magical beast that only comes out of its burrow during a full moon.

## Description

The Mooncalf has smooth, pale grey skin, and four spindly legs that end in large flat webbed feet. The Mooncalf also has a very long neck and bulging blue eyes that sit on the top of its head.

Once the Mooncalf is in the moonlight, it performs complicated dance moves while standing on its hind legs. It is believed that this is part of the Mooncalf mating ritual, but also has the side effect of creating geometric patterns in wheat fields that confuse Muggles.

Mooncalf dung, if harvested before the sun rises, will make magical plants grow fast and strong.

Hodags feed largely on Mooncalves.

## History

Newt Scamander had a herd of Mooncalves in his suitcase during his visit to New York in 1926.

## Etymology

In modern terminology, a "mooncalf" is a foolish person. The term originally meant a deformed calf born under the malign influence of the full moon. In the 17th century, it came to mean a deformed baby, and later, a hideously deformed individual; as in Shakespeare's Tempest, when Stephano calls Caliban a "mooncalf."

Prince family

**Prince** is the surname of a wizarding family that was pure-blood. The family is still extant, but is now half-blood . The only known member of the family is Eileen Prince, a witch who married into the muggle Snape family.

Eileen had no siblings, but male cousins who married and continued the family name. But if she did not and she was the last Prince, then the Prince family died out with her, and the female line of the family became extinct upon the death of her son Severus Snape, who never had children.

## Etymology

*Prince* is a general term for a monarch or a member of a monarch's family, and is a hereditary title of some European royalty, likely alluding to the aristocratic status of pure-blood families in the wizarding world. The word is derived from the Latin *princeps*, meaning "first", which was one of the titles of the Roman Emperor (as *princeps civitatis*, which means "first citizen"). *The Prince* is also the title of a famous political treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli; an interesting point considering that the adjective derived from the author's surname, *Machiavellian*, is defined as "attempting to achieve goals by cunning, scheming and unscrupulous methods", which may allude to the ideal traits of Slytherin house.

Pepperup Potion

> "*Pepper-Up Potion can be used to cure colds and to warm the recipient up. Drinking it can cause steam to come out of the drinker's ears. The potion was invented by Glover Hipworth.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

The **Pepperup Potion** (or **Pepper-Up Potion**) is a potion which cures the common cold andwarms up the recipient. It has the side-effect of causing steam to emit from the drinker's ears for hours on end afterward.

## History

In the 12th century, potioneer Linfred of Stinchcombe developed a rudimentary treatment for the common cold that would later serve as the basis for the Pepperup Potion. Centuries later, sometime between the mid-18th to early 19th century, Glover Hipworth built on Linfred's previous work, and perfected the Pepperup Potion.

During the winter of the 1992–1993 school year, a spate of colds ran through the student body of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Madam Pomfrey used Pepperup Potion to relieve their symptoms. Ginny Weasley was bullied into taking some by Percy Weasley during this time, although her illness was more to do with her possession by Tom Riddle's Diary than a cold.

On 24 February 1995, it was also used after the second task of the Triwizard Tournament on the hostages and champions after they emerged from the Great Lake.

On 24 June of that same year, Bartemius Crouch Junior, posing as "Mad-Eye Moody," gave Harry Potter a potion described as having a peppery taste following the third task of the Triwizard Tournament and the return of Lord Voldemort. After doing so, the fake Moody's office came into sharper focus for Harry. and his head cleared.
Werewolf Register

The **Werewolf Register** was created by Newt Scamander in 1947. The Register is a list of all known werewolves in Great Britain, and is controlled and maintained by the Werewolf Registry sub-department of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It is unknown what happens to those who refuse to register and are discovered later. However, the register is poorly kept, as Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf, managed to hide his status at first when he was brought up to the Ministry by pretending to be a Muggle tramp.
Sirius Black I

**Sirius Black I** (1845 – 1853) was a pure-blood wizard, the eldest son of Cygnus Black and Ella Max, and the elder brother of Phineas Nigellus, Elladora and Iola. Sirius died when he was only eight years old, for unknown reasons.

## Etymology

Sirius is a name of the brightest star in the night sky. In the Black family there were also Sirius Black II (a nephew of Sirius I, son of Phineas Nigellus) and Sirius III, Walburga's and Orion's son. If Cygnus was his father, Arcturus Black I was his uncle.
Rubeus Hagrid's pumpkin patch

This **pumpkin patch** was owned and cared for by Rubeus Hagrid, gamekeeper at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was located behind Hagrid's Hut on the Hogwarts Grounds.

## History

In 1993, Hagrid used his pumpkin patch to tether the hippogriff Buckbeak in 1993 while awaiting its sentence of death. With help from the Time-Turner, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were able to successfully remove Buckbeak out of the pumpkin patch before his execution by pulling him with rope into the forest, take him back inside Hagrid's hut after everyone had else had left it, and let Sirius take him to be free.

In 1996, the pumpkin patch was where Aragog's funeral took place. With the aid of Harry and Horace Slughorn, Hagrid dug a grave for the acromantula and laid the enormous spider to rest with Slughorn saying a eulogy celebrating his memory

## Usage

The pumpkin patch was where Hagrid grew enormous pumpkins for the school's Hallowe'en feast every year on 31 October. These pumpkins are usually carved into Jack-o-Lanterns and enchanted to hang from the ceiling in the Great Hall or in the corridors.

Rogue bludger

> "*Harry put on a burst of speed and zoomed toward the other end of the field. He could hear the Bludger whistling along behind him. What was going on? Bludgers never concentrated on one player like this; it was their job to try and unseat as many people as possible....*"
> ― Harry Potter trying to evade the rogue bludger[source]
>
>

The **rogue bludger** was a Bludger that Dobby had magically tampered with in early November 1992. Dobby had hoped that Harry Potter would be injured and sent home from Hogwarts, thereby avoiding the opening of the Chamber of Secrets and the unleashing of the serpent of Slytherin.

## History

**Dobby**: "*Harry Potter must go home! Dobby thought his Bludger would be enough to make —*"
**Harry Potter**: "*Your Bludger? What d’you mean, your Bludger? You made that Bludger try and kill me?*"
**Dobby**: "*Not kill you, sir, never kill you! Dobby wants to save Harry Potter’s life! Better sent home, grievously injured, than remain here, sir! Dobby only wanted Harry Potter hurt enough to be sent home!*"
**Harry Potter**: "*Oh, is that all? I don’t suppose you’re going to tell me why you wanted me sent home in pieces?*"
— Dobby revealing that he tampered with the Bludger to Harry Potter[src]

The Bludger nearly made Gryffindor lose the game when the Beaters, Fred and George Weasley had to protect Harry instead of watching out for the rest of the team. Harry then demanded that they leave him alone to deal with the Bludger himself. The Bludger succeeded in breaking Harry's arm, but Harry still succeeded in catching the Golden Snitch, thus winning the Gryffindor vs Slytherin Quidditch match, but resulting in him letting go of his Nimbus 2000 and falling on the sandy ground in the middle area due to his broken arm.

After the game was over, Fred and George struggled to stuff the Bludger back into its crate, as it was still putting up a 'terrific fight.' Gilderoy Lockhart later attempted to fix Harry's broken arm but instead made his bones disappear. Dobby later revealed to Harry in the Hospital Wing that he was the one who tampered with the Bludger, and apologised for setting it on Harry, which contradicted Harry's earlier theory of Draco Malfoy being the culprit.
Shooting Star

> "*Ron's old Shooting Star was often outstripped by passing butterflies.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

The **Shooting Star** was a broomstick produced by Universal Brooms Ltd in 1955. At the time of its release, it was the cheapest racing broom on the market. However, after initial good sales and popularity, the broom was found to lose height and speed as they aged.

## Known owners

* Ronald Weasley had a Shooting Star before acquiring a Cleansweep Eleven.
* Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry maintained a supply of them for flying lessons. Fred and George Weasley always complained that the school brooms would always fly slightly to the left or that they would start to vibrate if one flew too high. After the destruction of his Nimbus 2000, Harry Potter was forced to temporarily use one of these during Quidditch practices, but was urged to quickly find a replacement, as the broomstick's lack of speed and performance was unacceptable for actual Quidditch matches.

**Puddlemere United** is a Quidditch team that plays in the British and Irish Quidditch League. They were founded in 1163, making them the oldest team in the league.

Their robes are navy-blue robes emblazoned with two crossed golden bulrushes. The team has won the League Cup at least twenty-two times and the European Cup twice.

Puddlemere United's team anthem, *Beat Back Those Bludgers, Boys, and Chuck That Quaffle Here*, was recorded by singing sorceress Celestina Warbeck to raise money for St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries shortly before the publication of the edition of *Quidditch Through the Ages* that could be purchased by Muggles for Comic Relief.

## History

### 1931

During a match against the Ballycastle Bats, Chaser Joscelind Wadcock achieves the record for most goals scored in the British and Irish Quidditch League in the 20th century.

### 1994

During the early summer of this year, after graduating Hogwarts, Oliver Wood started playing for Puddlemere's reserve team.

The next year, Harry Potter jokingly suggested that they should check with Puddlemere to make sure that Wood hadn't been killed in training, because the new Gryffindor team captain, Angelina Johnson, seemed to be channelling Wood's fierce competitive spirit.

### 1998-1999

Puddlemere United changed their robe colour from mud-brown to blue.

Puddlemere United poached Chaser Wilda Griffiths from the Holyhead Harpies for a thousand Galleons. She helped her new team achieve a win against Wigtown Wanderers. Manager Philbert Deverill commended Griffiths for ignoring the death threats from her former captain Gwenog Jones.

Puddlemere United played the Holyhead Harpies at Ilkley Moor. Jones's threats led to security restrictions, and wands were confiscated at the gates. Many fans handed over dummy wands, however. Griffiths disappeared midway through the match, and a riot broke out. Benjy Williams captured the Snitch while the fans were rioting and won the game for Puddlemere. Puddlemere rose to the second in the League after the game while Jones was taken into custody and a Puddlemere fan called Timothy Blenkinsop was caught in the riot and acquired a rat's tail.

### Late 1990s

Bodmin Moor Millenium Stadium was the site of a league final between Montrose Magpies and Puddlemere United sometime in the late 1990s.
Oppugno Jinx

> "*Harry spun around to see Hermione pointing her wand at Ron, her expression wild: The little flock of birds was speeding like a hail of fat golden bullets toward Ron, who yelped and covered his face with his hands, but the birds attacked, pecking and clawing at every bit of flesh they could reach.*"

The **Oppugno Jinx** (*Oppugno*) is a spell that directs an object or individual to attack the victim. This jinx will cause conjured creatures or other moveable objects under the control of the caster to attack the target.

## Known uses

 Hermione Granger | Autumn 1996 | Hermione used this to set a flock of conjured canaries on Ron Weasley in 1996.
Whomping Willow

> "*People used to play a game, trying to get near enough to touch the trunk. In the end, a boy called Davey Gudgeon nearly lost an eye, and we were forbidden to go near it.*"
> ― Remus Lupin[source]
>
>

A **Whomping Willow** was located on grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was planted in 1971 to disguise the opening of a secret passage leading from the Hogwarts grounds to the Shrieking Shack, a building located in the village of Hogsmeade. A very violent plant, it was known to attack anyone who disturbed its branches.

## Description

Whomping Willows were a very valuable, very violent species of magical plant. As was eloquently put by Ron Weasley, it was the only tree in the world that will hit back. A deciduous plant, its limbs functioned as arms and any damage to them was treated in much the same way.

## History

### Early history

{{Quote|I told you, months ago, that the Whomping Willow was planted the year I came to Hogwarts. The truth is that it was planted because I came to Hogwarts.|How the Willow came to be at Hogwarts|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban }

The Whomping Willow was a very valuable, very violent tree planted alone in the middle of the school grounds. It was planted the same year that Remus Lupin arrived at Hogwarts (c. 1971) to disguise the opening to a secret passage from Hogwarts to the Shrieking Shack. Lupin would go through a hole in the Willow’s roots every month and through a tunnel to transform into a werewolf in the Shack where he couldn’t hurt anyone. The Willow was so dangerous that it kept other people from entering the passage and encountering the werewolf.

Sirius Black told Slytherin classmate Severus Snape how to stop the tree from whomping him, and somehow convinced him to do it on the night of a full moon. Snape was curious and it almost got him killed by Lupin transformed into a "fully-grown werewolf" at the end of the tunnel. James Potter managed to pull him out in time to save his life.

Students used to play a game, trying to get near enough to touch the trunk of the tree. A boy called Davey Gudgeon nearly lost an eye, and they were forbidden to go near it.

### 1992-1998

Hogwarts GroundsThe Whomping Willow was injured when Harry Potter and Ron Weasley crashed Mr Weasley's flying Ford Anglia into it at the beginning of their second year. The following day, the Herbology Professor Pomona Sprout had to bandage some of the tree's limbs to try and repair the damage, possibly assisted (or hindered) by then-Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor Gilderoy Lockhart.

In 1993, Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 broomstick was destroyed when it fell from the air into the Whomping Willow's branches.

In 1994, Sirius Black, in his animagus form of a large black dog, dragged Ron Weasley into the secret passage beneath the Willow leading to Hogsmeade's Shrieking Shack. They were quickly followed by Harry and Hermione, then later by Lupin and Snape.

In 1998, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneaked through the passage under the Willow to the Shrieking Shack during the Battle of Hogwarts. There, they witnessed Snape's murder by Lord Voldemort and his serpent, Nagini.
Stoatshead Hill

**Harry**: "*Ron, where are we going?*"
**Ron**: "*No idea. Dad, where are we going?*"
**Arthur**: "*Haven't the foggiest. Keep up!*"
— Harry Potter, Ron and Arthur Weasley conversing as they head to Stoatshead Hill[src]

**Stoatshead Hill** was a steep hill located outside the village of Ottery St Catchpole. It was one of two hundred sites throughout Britain selected to house Portkeys that would transport people to the Quidditch World Cup in 1994. The Weasley family, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Amos and Cedric Diggory used the Portkey placed at the top of Stoatshead Hill — an old boot — because it was the nearest to them. They had to set off from The Burrow extremely early so that they would reach the hill in time, and the ascent was hard work, as they kept falling in rabbit holes or slipping on tufts of grass.

## Etymology

The stoat is a member of the weasel family, a likely connection to the Weasleys.
