Ramora

he **Ramora** was a silver fish native to the Indian Ocean that had strong magical power to anchor ships in place. The Ramora was an immensely powerful magical fish in the world of magic, and was a guardian of the seafarers. The International Confederation of Wizards enforced anti-poaching laws to protect this creature from illegal capture from wizards.

## Etymology

"Ramora" is another version of Remora, which in latin means 'delay', hence its ability to anchor ships in place. A real fish family, Echeneidae, contains several species collectively known as remora's. The most distinct feature of these fish is their modified first dorsal fin, which forms a suction disc. The disc is used by the fish to latch onto — and hitch a ride with — larger aquatic animals (including sharks, rays, whales, and even occasionally swimming humans) or seagoing vessels. An old superstition held that a remora attached to a ship had the ability to slow or halt the ship's progress, which is the source of the fantastical version of the Ramora. This belief is also referred to in mythology, as in ancient Greek times, the Remora were blamed for the death of (Mark Antony) at the (Battle of Actium) and indirectly for the death of (Caligula).
Priscilla Dupont

**Minister Priscilla Dupont** was Minister for Magic from 1855 to 17 February, 1858. She was elected Minister likely only once.

Upon her accession to the office, she developed an irrational loathing of the Muggle Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston. This attained such proportions that it ended up in her being forced to step down on 17 February, 1858, after such incidents as coins turning to frogspawn in Lord Palmerston's coat pockets. Ironically, Palmerston was forced to resign by the Muggles two days later on 19 February.

## Affiliates of the Order

### AlliesEdit

During the First Wizarding War, the Order was allied with the Ministry of Magic. During the Second Wizarding War, however, the Ministry was at times sceptical of Lord Voldemort's return and later taken over by Voldemort's followers. The Order was allied with Dumbledore's Army, as well as various individuals, during that conflict.
Omnioculars

### Usage

Slow down and replay action, or obtain a play-by-play breakdown, in Quidditch matches

> "*You can replay action ... slow everything down ... and they flash up a play-by-play breakdown if you need it. Bargain - ten Galleons each.*"
> ― Saleswizard to Harry, Ron and Hermione at the Quidditch World Cup[source]
>
>

**Omnioculars** were the wizarding equivalent of Muggle binoculars, but with the additional features of being able to magically slow down and replay action.

## Description

Used extensively for viewing Quidditch matches, they provided the user with a play-by-play breakdown if desired, showing the names of the manoeuvres performed by players caught within their perspective through the Omnioculars. Omnioculars were made from brass and were covered in knobs and dials.

## History

On 25 August, 1994, Harry Potter purchased three sets of Omnioculars at ten Galleons each for himself, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. Ron had wanted a pair but could not afford them. Harry then joked after he bought them Ron wasn't getting a Christmas present for about ten years. Ron thought he paid Harry with gold soon after, but it turned out to be Leprechaun gold and disappeared. At the Quidditch World Cup, Ron made an old Wizard pick his nose repeatedly using his Omnioculars.

During the final match of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, when Brazilian Beater Rafael Santos hit Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum hard over the head with his bat, referee Herman Junker paused the game for eighteen minutes to examine **Omniocular** footage in order to determine whether a foul was committed.

## Etymology

"Omnioculars" is derived from the prefix "omni-" meaning all, and "ocular," meaning vision, indicating its ability to let the user see "everything" with its zooming and replaying abilities. It is also a pun on "binoculars," indicating their similarities.

Silver Arrow

he **Silver Arrow** was a broomstick produced by broom-maker Leonard Jewkes, and was the true forerunner of the racing broom. It was capable of speeds greater than the Oakshaft 79 or the Moontrimmer, its maximum speed of seventy miles per hour with a decent tailwind was very good for its time, but Leonard worked alone and demand outstripped supply. It was eventually replaced by the Cleansweep series.

## Known owners

* Madam Hooch, flying instructor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learned to fly on a Silver Arrow. She reminisced on her days when Silver Arrows were good and compared Harry's Firebolt to her old Silver Arrow.
Ross family

**Ross** was the surname of a Scottish wizarding family. It is likely that they were a pure-blood family, as they were furious over the marriage between witch Isobel Ross and Muggle Robert McGonagall.

## Etymology

The surname Ross has several possible derivations. The first is as a habitational name taken from Rots, a town in Normandy, France, which was likely named based on the Germanic element *rod*, meaning "clearing." The second is as a habitational name based on places called Ross or Roose, from the Welsh *rhós*, "upland" or "moors." The third is from the Germanic personal name *Rozzo*, a pet form of names beginning with the element *hrod*, "renown." The fourth is as an occupational name for a person who bred or cared for horses, from Middle High German *ros*, "horse."
Werewolf Support Services

**Werewolf Support Services** was a part of the Being Division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Despite werewolves being classed as Beasts, they are acknowledged to be Beings during their untransformed state. Werewolf Support Services offered aid to those afflicted with the condition.

However, due to the stigma werewolves have in wizarding society, no werewolf ever used the service and Werewolf Support Services was eventually closed down in 1991

In 1998 Kingsley Shacklebolt had the Werewolf Support Services reopened in order to help witches and wizards who struggled in the same manner as his own deceased friend from the days of the Order of the Phoenix, Remus Lupin.
Roberts

## Mr Roberts

**Mr Roberts** was a Muggle man who managed the campsite near where the Quidditch World Cup was held in 1994.

## Biography

He lived with his wife and two children in a stone cottage at the front of the campground. His youngest child was a boy.

Mr Roberts believed that his wizarding guests were confused with Muggle money because they were all from out of the country; one even tried to pay him with a galleon. Ministry of Magic employees were required to perform Memory Charms on him several times a day.

The night after the Quidditch match, Mr Roberts, his wife, and their two children were all abducted by Death Eaters, who proceeded to levitate them through the air, and, like puppeteers controlling four marionettes with invisible strings, contorted the defenceless family into grotesque shapes and span them around mid-air as means to humiliate and frighten them. When Arthur Weasley and his party were leaving the campsite the following morning, Mr Roberts wished them a Merry Christmas, although it was the middle of summer. Mr Weasley explained that Mr Roberts had been left temporarily disoriented by the Memory Charm that had been used to erase his memories of the Death Eater attack.
Radolphus Lestrange

**Minister Radolphus Lestrange** was a wizard who, from 1835 to 1841, served as Minister for Magic of Britain and Ireland, being elected at least once.

## Biography

He unsuccessfully attempted to close down the Department of Mysteries, and eventually resigned due to ill health, which was rumoured to be an inability to cope with stress of the office.

## Etymology

* The name Radolphus seems to be a variation of "Radulf", which is itself derived from the Norse elements ráð meaning "counsel" and úlfr meaning "wolf".
Werewolf Registry

The **Werewolf Registry** is part of the Beast Division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. The Registry maintains the Werewolf Register.

## History

At around 1965, the Registry was inadequate and ill-maintained, as the council did not recognise Fenrir Greyback as a werewolf, and he managed to evade prosecution for the deaths of two Muggle children by pretending to be a Muggle tramp. When Lyall Lupin thought it would be prudent to keep Greyback until the next full moon to prove he is a werewolf, the other committee members were ignorant enough to belay that, furthering their improper protocols of maintaining the Registry.

Sleekeazy's Hair Potion

> "*Sleekeazy's Hair Potion is a potion used to tame and style hair, most particularly bushy or unruly hair.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

**Sleekeazy's Hair Potion and Scalp Treatment** was a hair care potion and scalp treatment that was invented by Fleamont Potter. It was originally sold with the slogan "*Two drops tames even the most bothersome barnet*".

Noted as being suitable for all hair types on its label, it was particularly effective at taming bushy, unruly hair, allowing it to be styled "sleek." However, the label apparently cautioned against use of the product by redheads, stating it would have "unique results" for them.

The potion was manufactured in China. Its listed ingredients were Gomas Barbadensis, Asian Dragon Hair, and Petroleum Jelly.

## History

> "*Hermione's hair was bushy again; she confessed to Harry that she had used liberal amounts of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion on it for the ball,*"
> ― Hermione Granger's use of the potion[source]
>
>

Fleamont Potter was said to have quadrupled the family's wealth by inventing Sleekeazy’s Hair Potion and selling the company at a vast profit when he retired.

Hermione Granger apparently used fairly large amounts of this potion when she went to the Yule Ball with Viktor Krum, the Durmstrang champion for the Triwizard Tournament, although she later said that it was too much trouble to use every day.

Ron Weasley also owned and apparently used this product.
Porlock

The **Porlock** was a magical beast that tended to guard horses, native to England and southern Ireland.

## Description

They were small, reaching a height of two feet on average when they were fully grown, and covered in a large amount of rough, shaggy hair. It had a large nose, small arms ending in four stubby fingers, and it walked on two cloven hooves.

The Porlock guarded horses, and lived on grass. It can either be found nesting in the straw of a stable, or in the middle of the herd it was protecting. Porlocks were mistrustful of Humans, and hid at their approach.

## History

In the fourteenth century, Porlocks were classified as beings by the Wizards' Council based on the fact that they were able to walk on two legs. They were later reclassified as beasts.

During the 1980s, Amos Diggory, working for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, brought a porlock, along with a Fire Crab and Murtlap, as a potential new magical creature for Rubeus Hagrid as part of his Rubeus Hagrid's birthday celebration.

Porlocks were studied by fifth year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Care of Magical Creatures class during the 1995-1996 school year.
Secret-Keeper

The **Secret Keeper** is the witch or wizard designated to hide a secret by means of the Fidelius Charm; the secret is embedded in their very soul. Once a Secret Keeper is selected, the person who told them the secret will find themselves unable to pass the information on again, as the Secret Keeper is the only one capable of revealing the secret, whether orally or written. The Secret Keeper can tell as many people as they like, but they must do so voluntarily and the secret cannot be blackmailed, bewitched or tortured out of them.

Being a Secret Keeper is a very dangerous position to be in; although it is impossible to bewitch or torture the information out of the Secret Keeper, many have in the past been subjected to the Imperius and Cruciatus Curses in attempts to find the secret. It is such a serious and binding enchantment that few would undertake it lightly.

If a Secret Keeper dies, all the people already aware of the secret information become Secret Keepers. This would, unfortunately, dilute the effect greatly as more people can pass the information at will.

## Known Secret Keepers

 Albus Dumbledore | The Secret Keeper for 12 Grimmauld Place, the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, until he died in 1997, thus making all the members of the Order, along with the trio the succeeding Secret Keepers. This forced the Order to abandon it, as they erroneously believed Severus Snape to be a traitor and he knew the location. Later, the trio returned to the house (accepting the risk of a visit from Snape) until they infiltrated the Ministry of Magic, where afterward Yaxley grabbed Hermione as the trio Apparated to 12 Grimmauld Place to escape. They then considered the location permanently compromised.
 Arthur Weasley (Aunt Muriel's House)
Travers family

**Travers** was the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family. The author of the *Pure-Blood Directory* considered the family to be among the "Sacred Twenty-Eight".

## Known family members

* Torquil Travers - a wizard who lived & served as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic in the early 20th century.
* Travers - One of Voldemort's Death Eaters active during the Second Wizarding War.

## Etymology

* Travers is an English and Irish surname that means "toll or tolltaker" (as on bridges), "traverser" (Norman: "to cross"), "skilful", or (in French) "from the crossroads."
Outstanding

> "*CONGRATULATIONS! Your exemplary powers of deduction and a formidable knowledge of the inner workings of the magical world reveal you to be a witch or wizard of genuine skill and learning. This first examination has barely tested you.*"
> ― 'Outstanding'-graded W.O.M.B.A.T.[source]
>
>

**Outstanding** is one of the three passing grades, out of six grades overall, in the Ordinary Wizarding Levels, Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests, and Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Tests. It is the highest mark possible, immediately above 'Exceeds Expectations'.

## Advancement

While most professors at Hogwarts set their N.E.W.T. classes entrance standards at 'Exceeds Expectations', meaning that the students must acquire such a grade in their O.W.L. in order to continue, Professor Severus Snape had set his Potion standards to 'Outstanding', meaning only the very best can continue.
Smeltings Academy

> "Caveat Smeltonia*. Proudest moment of my life.*"
> ― Vernon Dursley on Smeltings[source]
>
>

**Smeltings Academy**, sometimes referred to as **Smeltings**, was a Muggle public school that Dudley Dursley and Piers Polkiss attended in the 1990s. It was also the *alma mater* of Dudley's father, Vernon Dursley, who once remarked that he found the portions of food served at the school to be very filling, but his wife Petunia disagreed.

Its school motto seems to be *Caveat Smeltonia*, which is Latin for "let Smeltonia beware".

During the summer before Harry Potter began to attend Hogwarts, Dudley was set to begin at Smeltings, while the Dursleys intended to send Harry to Stonewall High - the local state school.

## Uniform

The school's uniform consisted of a maroon tailcoat, orange knickerbockers, a straw boater, and a gnarled cane that students used to hit each other with when teachers had their eyes elsewhere. All this whacking with sticks was supposed to be greatly helpful in preparing students for the future.

## Location

In 1995, Dudley Dursley was described as the "Junior Heavyweight Inter-School Boxing Champion of the Southeast." Accordingly, it is likely that Smeltings is located somewhere in the region of South East England.

## Known students

* Vernon Dursley
* Dudley Dursley
* Piers Polkiss

## Known staff

* Nurse
* Joyce Haddock (swimming examiner)

## Etymology

Smelting is the process used to produce a metal from its ore. The name may be intended to suggest that its curriculum was centred on industrial skills.

Sea Lavender

**Sea Lavender** is a plant native to coastal areas in England and Wales. The plant grows near Shell Cottage in Tinworth. It is a grey-green plant.

## Etymology

The name comes from its similarity in appearance to Lavender, though the plants are not related.

## Uses

When Dobby the House-elf died in 1998 at Shell Cottage, Luna Lovegood used some Sea Lavender to decorate his grave.
Red Cap

> "*These dwarf–like creatures live in holes on old battlegrounds or wherever human blood has been spilled. Although easily repelled by charms and hexes, they are very dangerous to solitary Muggles, whom they will attempt to bludgeon to death on dark nights. Red Caps are most prevalent in northern Europe.*"
> ― Newt Scamander, Template:FB[source]
>
>

The **Red Cap** is a small, dwarf-like magical beast that inhabits wherever human blood had been shed, such as in the dungeons of castles, the potholes of old battlefields, or holes underground.

## Description

They attack those who are lost, and though they are extremely dangerous to lone Muggles, a wizard or witch can easily repel them with charms and hexes. They can also be repelled by dousing them in Beautification Potion, as their temporary "beautiful" appearance is repulsive to them. Red Caps are normally around three or four feet tall, with red eyes and long, sharp nails. Red Caps are most often found in northern Europe. Red Caps are less dangerous during their mating season, as they become more interested in attacking each other than any invaders of their territory.

## History

The enchanted garden that the Wizarding Schools Potions Championship took place in housed an ancient battlefield infested with Red Caps, which competitors must have evaded or defeated in order to pass through.

Remus Lupin taught his third year Defence Against the Dark Arts class about these creatures during the second lesson of the 1993-1994 school year, and later used them as part of his obstacle course during the final exam of that year. Among the subjects covered in *The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection* are Red Caps.
Parchment

**Parchment** is a thin material made from calfskin, sheepskin or goatskin, often split. Its most common use was as a material for writing on, for documents, notes, or the pages of a book, codex or manuscript. It is distinct from leather in that parchment is limed but not tanned, therefore it is very reactive with changes in relative humidity and is not waterproof. The finer qualities of parchment are called vellum.

Even in modern times, parchment has been called the "finest writing material ever devised". Modern products do not reach the quality of medieval manufactured parchment.

In the wizarding world, parchments take the role of normal paper, and most wizards and witches use them as writing material, along with quills and ink. Dolores Umbridge used pink-coloured parchments. Hermione Granger enchanted a piece of parchment bearing the signatures of Dumbledore's Army with a jinx that would punish anyone within the organisation who dared to betray their secrecy. Students wishing to enter the Triwizard Tournament placed pieces of parchment with their names into the Goblet of Fire.

The Hanged Man

**The Hanged Man** was a pub in the Muggle part of Little Hangleton, a village in England. Town residents flocked there to gossip with each other on the night that the entire Riddle family was murdered. Later on, the Riddles' cook arrived at the pub, and announced to everyone present that Frank Bryce had been arrested. The landlord of the pub announced that he thought the war had turned Bryce "funny," perhaps indicating his belief in the gardener's guilt.

## Etymology

The Hanged Man is a Tarot card, also known as "the Traitor," which depicts a man hanging upside-down by one foot from a wooden beam or a tree. It is generally considered to have profound but ambiguous significance, often associated with the destruction of the self, letting go of worldly attachments, and viewing things from a different perspective.
Streeler

> "*The Streeler is a giant snail that changes colour on an hourly basis and deposits behind it a trail so venomous that it shrivels and burns all vegetation over which it passes. The Streeler is native to several African countries, though it has been successfully raised by wizards in Europe, Asia and the Americas.*"
> ― Newt Scamander, Template:FB[source]
>
>

The **Streeler** was a giant magical snail that changed colour every hour, and produced a poisonous slime.

## Description

Native to Africa, the Streeler had been spread and been bred by wizards in Europe, Asia and North America.

The Streeler changed colour hourly, and left behind a trail of venom so toxic that it burned all vegetation that it touched. Streelers had sharp spikes on their shells, which also injected venom. This defence was most likely to scare off or kill its attackers, such as birds and small to medium sized rodents.

It was kept as a pet by those who enjoy its kaleidoscopic colour changes. Streeler venom was one of the few known substances that can kill Horklumps.

Wearing thick protective gloves was a way to avoid getting stung by a Streeler's extremely toxic shell.

## History

During the 1987–1988 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Silvanus Kettleburn taught his fourth year Care of Magical Creatures students how to handle Streelers.

In 1992 and 1993, The Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley housed and sold orange Streelers for purchase. Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger saw some of these creatures for sale when they entered the shop in August 1995, amongst others.
Trio

## The Trio

> "*But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.*"
> ― How the trio became friends in their first year on Hallowe'en[source]
>
>

The **Trio**, sometimes known as the **Golden Trio**, was the popular name given to the gang of three best friends and former Gryffindor students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, being Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The trio was allied with the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's Army, and Albus Dumbledore, and in their adult lives and careers, the British Ministry of Magic.

## Members

Harry Potter was one of the most famous wizards of modern time, also known as the 'Boy Who Lived' and the 'Chosen One'. He is known for being the cause of Voldemort's first downfall and is responsible for the Dark Lord's final defeat. Harry was also the teacher/leader of Dumbledore's Army and was the best in his year at Defence Against the Dark Arts. After the Second Wizarding War he became an Auror and rose to the position of Head Auror at the age of 26. By the summer of 2020 Harry was promoted to the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Ron Weasley assisted Harry and Hermione in the hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Ron was a member of Dumbledore's Army and demonstrated a talent for Wizard's Chess. After the Second Wizarding War he became an Auror, alongside Harry. Ron was an Auror for two years before retiring and joining his brother George and ("semi-Goast Fred Weasley) at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

Hermione Granger assisted Harry and Ron in the hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Hermione was the founder of Dumbledore's army and was top of her year, while attending Hogwarts. After graduating Hogwarts she went to work for the Ministry of Magic, working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Hermione eventually became the Minister for Magic.

Summoning Charm

The **Summoning Charm** (*Accio*) was a charm that summoned an object toward the caster. It was able to summon objects in direct line of sight of the caster, as well as things out of view, by calling the object aloud after the incantation (unless the spell is cast nonverbally). This spell needs thought behind it, and the object must be clear in the caster's mind before trying to summon it. The opposite charm of the Summoning Charm was the Banishing Charm.

## History

The Summoning Charm is one of the oldest known to wizarding society. This spell's most famous use was, according to Miranda Goshawk, by the Accionites and their leader, Gideon Flatworthy.

In the traditional wizarding tale "*The Wizard and the Hopping Pot*" from *The Tales of Beedle the Bard* , the son of the titular pot's original owner summoned a lost donkey belonging to one of his fellow villagers.

This charm is taught to fourth years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Charms class and is revised again in a students fifth in preparation for O.W.L.s. This spell is located in *The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 4* by Miranda Goshawk.

## Casting and effects

The Summoning Charm can not be used on buildings. In addition, it will not work on living things, although they may be moved indirectly by summoning things they are wearing or holding. It is risky to summon them in this manner, because they travel at close to the speed of light and may be injured in the process. The only known exception to this rule are Flobberworms, which are generally not considered worth summoning.

The further the desired object is from the caster, the harder it is to summon. Hermione Granger, however, stated that it did not matter how far away the object was — so long as the caster had it clearly in mind, they should be able to summon it with ease. In addition, the object's general location must be known, otherwise it cannot be summoned.

There exist counter-spells that could be placed on objects to keep them from being summoned. Most wizarding goods sold as of the 20th century and early 21st century came pre-enchanted with an Anti-theft charm to keep them from being summoned by anyone but their rightful owners.

## Etymology

The Latin word *accio* can mean "I call", "I summon", or "action". In the Hungarian translation, the spell is called "Invito", possibly from the word "to invite".
Percival Dumbledore

> "[...] *my father went after the bastards that did it, and attacked them. And they locked him up in Azkaban for it. He never said why he'd done it, because if the Ministry had known what Ariana had become, she'd have been locked up in St Mungo's for good* [...]"
> ― Aberforth Dumbledore[source]

**Percival Dumbledore** (fl. 1881) was a British wizard, the husband of Kendra Dumbledore and the father of Albus, Aberforth, and Ariana Dumbledore. After attacking three male Muggles who assaulted Ariana, he was sentenced to imprisonment in Azkaban. Percival died there sometime later after 1890. Many years later, his eldest son became the longest and most noted Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was considered by some as the greatest wizard of all time.

## Biography

Percival was born into a pure-blood or half-blood family. In his later life, he married a Muggle-born witch named Kendra with whom he had three children: Albus (who bore the same as his second name), Aberforth, and Ariana.

At the age of six, Percival's daughter Ariana was assaulted by three Muggle boys. The incident left her permanently traumatised and unable to control her magic powers. Percival, in a fit of vengeful rage, attacked her assailants. This resulted in his arrest and conviction by the Ministry of Magic. He was sentenced to Azkaban, where he later died. Percival never admitted the reasons for his attack on the Muggles. This was largely due to his fear that if the Ministry found out about his daughter's delicate condition, they would send her to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for the rest of her life, effectively locking her away permanently as a hazard to the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.

Percival's attack on the Muggle children led many to believe that he was a supporter of the notion of blood purity. However, this was almost certainly untrue as Percival's own wife was a Muggle-born witch. However, the Dumbledore family kept its secrets well, and Percival's reputation would remain tarnished even after the death of his 115-year-old son, Albus.

When Albus Dumbledore put on the Peverell Ring, with hopes that using the Resurrection Stone would allow him to see his loved ones once more, one of the people he hoped to see — and apologise to — was his father.

## Physical appearance

As a relatively young wizard, Percival was described as "*a good-looking man with eyes that seemed to twinkle*," like his son, Albus, who, in his own time at Hogwarts, exhibited many of the same traits as his father.

## Etymology

Percival was a knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend. The name is believed to be derived from the Old French *percer val*, meaning "to pierce the valley".
Terence Higgs

**Terence Higgs** (b. 1970s) was a wizard and a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Biography

He was the Slytherin Quidditch team Seeker during the 1991–1992 season and in the first game of the year, raced Harry Potter for the Golden Snitch. Like Adrian Pucey, he appeared to be one of the more decent Slytherin players, as he seemed to play by the rules of Quidditch and did not resort to cheating.

But in the 1992–1993 school year, he was replaced by Draco Malfoy. However, it is unknown if he was still attending Hogwarts at that time, or if he had already graduated.

## Etymology

Terentius was a Roman family name. It may mean "tender" or "gracious". Higgs is variation of Hicks, from old English Hicke, a nickname for the Norman French name Richard. The early English substituted an "H" because they had trouble saying the letter "R".
Triwizard Maze

On 24 June, 1995, the **Triwizard Maze** was grown on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch for the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament for the four champions to navigate.

The maze was populated by various obstacles and dangers that each Champion had to overcome. Bartemius Crouch Jr, as Professor Moody, was entrusted with placing the Triwizard Cup at the centre of the maze. While doing this, he enchanted the Cup to become a Portkey that would be activated by touching the object.

## History

### Obstacles

 File:Tumblr lw61m3dKCf1qgt0vro7 r1 250.gif  Harry and Cedric, tying for first place after two tasks, were to enter the maze first, followed by Viktor, and then Fleur. The first Champion to successfully navigate the maze and reach the Cup would be declared the winner. During the task, Cedric encountered a Blast-Ended Skrewt, which he barely escaped from. Harry had to deal with a Boggart in the form of a Dementor, and overcame an odd golden mist which turned things upside-down. Crouch Jr, however, was leaving nothing to chance. Using Moody's magical eye, he watched events unfold in the maze, keeping the more dangerous obstacles out of Harry's path. He also Stunned Fleur, and placed the Imperius Curse on Viktor. He used Viktor to attack Cedric with the Cruciatus Curse in order to clear Harry's path to the Cup.

### The Blast-Ended Skrewt and the Sphinx

Harry encountered the Blast-Ended Skrewt that had attacked Cedric, then heard Cedric being tortured, and rescued him by Stunning Viktor. Cedric and Harry parted company, and Harry had to answer a riddle from a Sphinx to continue on into the maze.

### Conclusion of the Third Task

Cedric and Harry joined forces to defeat an Acromantula, before they both arrived at the Cup together. After an argument over who deserved to win more, they decided to take the Cup together, since it would still be a Hogwarts victory. Touching the Cup at the same moment, they activated it as a Portkey, and were transported out of the maze. This led them to Little Hangleton where they witnessed the Return of the Dark Lord and participated in the Duel in Little Hangleton. Cedric was killed by Peter Pettigrew, but Harry was able to escape by touching the cup again, and taking Cedric's body back. He appeared again at the start of the maze.

Portkey Office

> ― Voice of lift at the Ministry of Magic[source]
>
>

The **Portkey Office** is a division of the Department of Magical Transportation in charge of managing the usage and maintenance of Portkeys. Consequently, it seems like a reasonable deduction that the Portkey Office is responsible for authorising the creation of Portkeys (and possibly may regulate their use once they have been created, as well).

Since Portkeys, according to Arthur Weasley, are often made from items that look like rubbish, and since there are restrictions on enchanting Muggle objects for fear of their falling back into Muggle hands at some future date, it seems reasonable that objects enchanted to function as Portkeys should be kept track of.
Wandmaker

A **wandmaker** is a person who constructs and sells wands for witches and wizards and is thus an important occupation in wizarding society. The practise of making a wand is known as **wandcraft**.

A related occupation is the **wandkeeper**, though it is unclear whether this is merely another term for wandmaker or a separate occupation. Regardless, one such example was an associate of Garrick Ollivander's working at the shop's Hogsmeade branch.

## Description

A wandmaker use wood and cores found in the wizarding world to construct a magical instrument to conduct magic through. Wandmakers use a variety of wood and cores based upon their personal research and preference, and use wood and core found in their land. For example, wandmakers in the United States of America used Thunderbird feather and Rougarou hair, but wandmakers in Britain used Phoenix feather and Unicorn hair.

It was considered a "complex and mysterious branch of magic".

## History

The earliest known wandmakers were druids, who thought any plant that had a woody stem could be used in wandmaking. In Britain at least, it was normal for the purchaser of a wand to provide their own core or request something specific, generally a traditional or well-liked substance.

Wandmaking shops are known to date back to the establishment of Ollivanders in 382 B.C. The family had travelled from a Mediterranean country in Roman times and set up a stall in what would eventually be Diagon Alley. A descendant, Garrick Ollivander became a renowed wandmaker and he forsook the concept of witches and wizards procuring their own wand core, because he thought their wands were usually unrefined.

He claimed to have found more success in doing so. He researched the best wand cores and found the best wand wood to complement it, and rather have a purchaser select their wand, he let the wand choose the purchaser. From the 13th century, there was a story that Death had created the Elder Wand for Antioch Peverell. It was told in *The Tales of Beedle the Bard* .

In the United States of America, there were four renowned wandmakers using cores and wood native to their country. Isolt Sayre was the earliest known wandmaker in America. Shikoba Wolfe used Thunderbird tail feather, Johannes Jonker used Wampus cat hair, Thiago Quintana used White River Monster spine but this went out of fashion, and Violetta Beauvais used Rougarou hair.

Petrification

> "*Dark Magic of the most advanced kind.*"
> ― Albus Dumbledore regarding petrification[source]
>
>

**Petrification** was a malign magical state in which a living creature was rendered immobile and unresponsive, as if they had been turned to stone. It was a phenomenon of the most advanced Dark Magic, affecting beasts, beings and even spirits such as ghosts. Petrification could be inflicted by the Statue curse, along with the gazes of the Gorgon and the Basilisk. In the case of the Basilisk, its gaze ordinarily killed living creatures, but when seen indirectly, or by a ghost (who is already dead and cannot die again), it caused petrification instead.

## History

During the history of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Chamber of Secrets was opened twice, and in both cases the Serpent of Slytherin was released and attacked the Muggle-born student body. The first opening in 1943 resulted in the petrification of three Muggle-born students, and the death of one, Myrtle Warren. The second opening in 1992 led to the petrification of students Colin Creevey, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Hermione Granger and Penelope Clearwater, along with the cat Mrs Norris and ghost Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington.

## Effects

Victims of petrification were completely paralysed and unresponsive. It may have taken careful examination to discern if a victim was petrified. A petrified ghost would turn a dark smoky grey and could only be moved using air currents. The antidote to petrification was the Mandrake Restorative Draught, a highly potent healing potion made from Stewed Mandrakes.

Petrification should not be confused with the Full Body-Bind Curse or the Hardening Charm. The Full Body-Bind Curse was only temporary and can be lifted easily, while the Hardening Charm turns an object to literal stone. Gilderoy Lockhart once confused the effects of petrification with those of the Transmogrifian Torture; however, the truth of his claims were extremely dubious.

## Known victims

### Basilisk attacks

> "*The basilisk kills people by looking at them. But no one’s died — because no one looked it straight in the eye. Colin saw it through his camera. The basilisk burned up all the film inside it, but Colin just got Petrified. Justin... Justin must’ve seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick! Nick got the full blast of it, but he couldn’t die again... and Hermione and that Ravenclaw prefect were found with a mirror next to them. Hermione had just realised the monster was a basilisk.*"

## Etymology

The Latin verb *petrificare* means "to make into stone", from the Latin word for "rock", *petra*.
Character (arts)

A **character** (sometimes known as a **fictional character**) is a person or other being in a narrative (such as a novel, play, television series, film, or video game). The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person, in which case the distinction of a "fictional" versus "real" character may be made.

**Corduroy Allen** is the leading character in the Back's Against the Wall album and one of the personalities of Gilligan Finch. He was born in Blackpool, England in the early 60s.

## Personal life

### Family

Corduroy is the son of Fitzgerald Allen and an unknown mother. As a child, Corduroy grew up in one-room apartment in the slums of Blackpool with his drunkard father.

### Schooling

During his school years, Corduroy didn't have any friends and was often bullied about his looks and quiet personality. Kids often asked Corduroy about the black eyes and swelling of his face. Lying about being maltreated, Corduroy often told stories about all the wacky things he did in his spare time which led him to a life of injuries.

### Adult life

Segregated from society, Corduroy lived most of his life in Lonely Beach, an island not far from his hometown, Blackpool. Contrasting to his adolescent years, he befriended an optimistic eight year old named Lauren whom in his later years, he eventually married.

### Corduroy's domestic relationship with his father

After his mother's passing in 1963, his father's alcohol dependence grew beyond him and lead to the chronic abuse of Corduroy and sparked several mental issues such as anxiety, depression and misanthropy. Until his mid 30s, his father constantly fed him the lie that his mother died giving birth to him and constantly reminded it to him. After going through his father's attic, Corduroy stumbled upon an old photograph of his mother holding him as a baby. Feeling infuriated and betrayed, he approached his father and eventually murdered him in cold blood.

### Death

As a senior, Corduroy lived in a suburban neighborhood with his wife, unnamed son and Yorkshire terrier Max. Shortly after his son was born, his wife passed away from breast cancer. As a teenager, his soon moved out and left him and Max alone. With age, Corduroy eventually fell sick and with no one to look after him, was sent to hospital and Max was sent to live with his son. One day, after visiting the hospital, Max crawled behind his son's car and was ran over and killed. Upon hearing the news of his pet and best friend, Corduroy died of a heart attack that same day.
