Chocolate Cauldrons

> "*Chocolate Cauldrons, they've got Firewhisky in them.*"
> ― Description[source]
>
>

**Chocolate Cauldrons** were boxed chocolates that were filled with Firewhisky and were presumably shaped like cauldrons. They could be given as gifts. These could be bought at Honeydukes sweet shop.

## History

Romilda Vane gave Harry Potter a box that she had spiked with Love Potion in 1996. On 1 March, they were eaten by Ron Weasley, who mistook them for a birthday present. He offered Harry one, but he refused it.

There are most likely eight in a package, since when Ron Weasley ate four Cauldrons with Romilda's love potion in them, Harry said, *"You just ate half a box of Chocolate Cauldrons."*

Black Forest

The **Black Forest** is a heavily forested area in Germany home to many magical creatures such as bowtruckles and Erklings. It is also home to a broomstick manufacturing company Ellerby and Spudmore.

## History

It was believed that Quirinus Quirrell met vampires in the Black Forest while travelling. In 1994, shortly after Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys travelled via Portkey to the Quidditch World Cup, Basil told them that they needed to move out of the way because a big party would arrive from the Black Forest shortly.
Ambrosius Flume

**Ambrosius Flume** was a wizard who, by the 1990s, ran Honeydukes Sweetshop in Hogsmeade, a very popular shop among Hogwarts students during the school's weekend trips to the village, with his wife.

## Biography

### Early life

Ambrosius Flume attended Hogwarts School in his youth and was taught Potions by Horace Slughorn. Ambrosius became a member of the Slug Club.

### Employment

As he was a member of the Slug Club, Horace Slughorn introduced Ambrosius to Ciceron Harkiss and thus had him employed. As repayment for Horace's kindness, Flume sent a hamper of Slughorn's favourite sweets (Crystallised pineapple) to him annually on his birthday.

### Marriage and Honeydukes

At some point in his life, Ambrosius married Mrs Flume. By 1993, the couple lived in a flat above Honeydukes Sweetshop and together ran said shop. In 1993, during one of the weekend trips to Hogsmeade, Mrs Flume asked Ambrosius to get some Jelly Slugs, as the shop was filled with Hogwarts students.

### Battle of Hogwarts

It is most likely that as a former Hogwarts student Ambrosius participated in the Battle of Hogwarts alongside his wife, and fellow Hogsmeade residents Aberforth Dumbledore, Madam Rosmerta and Madam Puddifoot.

## Etymology

*Ambrosius* comes from the Greek word "ambrosia" meaning food or drink of the deities. It is also referred as nectar, which is sweet and bestows immortality. A flume is an artificial channel for the flow of water.

Banchory Bangers

### Most Glorious Hour

When they allowed their Bludgers to zoom off into the night, and set out to capture a Hebridean Black to be their mascot

### Known players

Mascot: Hebridean Black Dragon

The **Banchory Bangers** were a Scottish Quidditch team noted for their poor skills and post-match parties. After a match against the Appleby Arrows in 1814, the Bangers allowed their Bludgers to zoom off into the night, and set out to capture a Hebridean Black to be their mascot. They were intercepted over Inverness by Ministry of Magic officials and forced to disband for flouting the regulations of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy
Blishwick family

**Blishwick** was the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family.
They were related to the House of Black. Jimbo Blishwick was shown on the Black family tree tapestry at 12 Grimmauld Place.

The Blishwicks were not included in the Sacred Twenty-Eight, possibly indicating that, by the 1930s, they were either extinct or no longer "truly pure-blood" (as judged by the author of the *Pure-Blood Directory*).

## Known family members

* Jimbo Blishwick
* Misapinoa Blishwick (née Black)
Department of International Magical Cooperation

The **Department of International Magical Cooperation** is a division of the Ministry of Magic which, as its name suggests, tries to get wizards from different countries to work together. It is closest to the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office in the Muggle World.

Beedle the Bard

> "*If his stories accurately reflect his opinions, he rather liked Muggles, whom he regarded as ignorant rather than malevolent; he mistrusted Dark Magic, and he believed that the worst excesses of wizardkind sprang from the all-too-human traits of cruelty, apathy or arrogant misapplication of their own talents. The heroes and heroines who triumph in his stories are not those with the most powerful magic, but rather those who demonstrate the most kindness, common sense, and ingenuity.*"
> ― J. K. Rowling regarding Beedle[source]
>
>

**Beedle the Bard** (fl. 15th century) was an English wizard and author of wizarding fairytales. Beedle was born in Yorkshire, England. At some point in his life he wrote *The Tales of Beedle the Bard* . The only known image of Beedle is a woodcut that shows him with a "luxuriant" beard. Beedle wrote in ancient runes, which were later translated to English.

Taking his stories as an indicator of his opinions, he seems to have held Muggles in higher esteem than most of his contemporaries. He also valued traits such as: kindness, common sense, and ingenuity.

## Works

*The Tales of Beedle the Bard* consist of at least the following tales:

* *The Wizard and the Hopping Pot*
* *The Fountain of Fair Fortune*
* *The Warlock's Hairy Heart*
* *Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump*
* *The Tale of the Three Brothers*

## Etymology

* His name may refer to the medieval Anglo-Saxon historian Bede. His epithet could refer to English playwright William Shakespeare, who is known as "The Bard".
Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau

The **Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau** is a part of the Beast Division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. The Bureau is presumably responsible for all dragon-related services provided by the Ministry of Magic. Newt Scamander spent some time working with the Bureau, using the research trips abroad to further his knowledge of magical creatures.

Department of Intoxicating Substances

The **Department of Intoxicating Substances** was a department of the Ministry of Magic. It was probably a sub-division of another department, such as the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. It was responsible for making regulations on the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

 The department seemed to be rather strict when it came to underage alcohol sales, putting up notices that warned against it. It is unknown what the punishment was for serving alcohol to underage wizards. Bilius Finbok was a worker at the Department of Intoxicating Substances.
Deer

> "*And out of the end of his wand burst, not a shapeless cloud of mist, but a blinding, dazzling, silver animal. He screwed up his eyes, trying to see what it was. It looked like a horse.*"
> ― Harry Potter's corporeal stag Patronus[source]
>
>

**Deer** is the common name for a family of ruminant animals grouped by the fact that the males grow antlers in adulthood. Male deer are called *stags*, whereas females are called *does*. One particular species of deer is the Scottish stag. Deer is the preferred food of the Hebridean Black breed of dragon.

It is a possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm. Deer have become synonymous with the Potter family, as Harry Potter's stag Patronus is widely known.

## History

The deer was a reoccurring Patronus within the Potter family: James Potter, his wife Lily, and his son Harry all had deer for Patronuses. James Potter was also an Animagus who could take the form of a large stag. Professor Severus Snape, as a sign of his undying affection for Lily, also had a doe for a Patronus, which persisted long after her death.

In 1998, Snape cast this Patronus as a guide to lead Harry Potter to the Sword of Gryffindor hidden within a frozen lake of the Forest of Dean. Harry felt an instinctual familiarity with the doe Patronus.

Deer live in the Forbidden Forest — in May of 1996, when Rubeus Hagrid was discussing Grawp with Harry and Hermione, he said that he was able to get his own food; "*birds an' deer an' stuff.*"

Chimaera

> "*He kept saying nobody in their right mind would rather study Knarls than Chimaeras.*"
> ― Hermione Granger on Rubeus Hagrid's love of these beasts[source]
>
>

A **Chimaera** was a type of hybrid animal and a violent magical beast native to Greece.

## Description

The Chimaera was a vicious, bloodthirsty beast with a lion's head, a goat's body and a dragon's tail.

## History

Because of their ferocity, Chimaeras were classified by the Ministry of Magic as XXXXX (extremely dangerous and lethal), and their eggs were classified as Class A Non-Tradeable Materials.There have been few recorded instance of a wizard killing a Chimaera, although the victor have been known to died from the exhaustion after killing it.

Dai Llewellyn, the famous Caerphilly Catapults player, was killed by a Chimaera while on holiday in Mykonos, Greece.

In 1995, Rubeus Hagrid stated to Hermione Granger that it was difficult to get a Chimaera egg, causing Hermione to speculate that he had tried to get one, and wanted to use it as part of a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, while Hermione advised Hagrid better not to bring dangerous beasts to teach to the Hogwarts students, due to Dolores Umbridge's inspections.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, when Vincent Crabbe cast Fiendfyre (cursed fire), flaming Chimaeras appeared out of it.

Doxy

> "*The Doxy is often mistaken for a fairy though it is a quite separate species. Like the fairy, it has a minute human form, though in the Doxy’s case this is covered in thick black hair and has an extra pair of arms and legs. The Doxy’s wings are thick, curved and shiny, much like a beetle’s. Doxys are found throughout northern Europe and America, preferring cold climates.*"
> ― Newt Scamander, Template:FB[source]
>
>

The **Doxy**, sometimes referred to as the **Biting Fairy**, was a small Fairy-like magical beast, sometimes mistaken for a Fairy.

## Nature

### Physiology & Life cycle

The Doxy was covered in coarse black hair, and had an additional set of arms and legs. Doxies had shiny beetle-like wings, and a double row of sharp teeth. If bitten, a wizard or witch should take an antidote immediately, as their venom was highly poisonous. Doxies buried their eggs underground, and Doxy Queens can lay up to five-hundred at once. The eggs generally hatched in two to three weeks.

### Distribution

Preferring cold climates, the Doxy was found throughout Northern Europe and North America.

### Interaction with humans

Doxies were considered pests. They can infest houses, taking up residence in the draperies. Removing them required a good supply of Doxycide. Alternatively, they can be dispatched with a simple Knockback Jinx, as doxies were particularly vulnerable to it, excluding the queens, which were more resistant.

Cormac McLaggen was known to have eaten a pound of Doxy eggs for a bet, making him unable to try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in his 6th year at Hogwarts.

## Uses

Fred and George Weasley used Doxy venom for their Skiving Snackboxes, sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Harold Dingle used Doxy droppings to pretend it was powdered Dragon claw to sell to fifth years, but was confiscated by Hermione Granger.

## Etymology

*Doxy* is an archaic English term, meaning "prostitute". It derives from the German word *Docke*, meaning "doll".
Fortescue family

**Professor Dexter Fortescue** was a Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not much is known about his time at Hogwarts.

## Biography

### As Headmaster of Hogwarts

Dexter Fortescue was made Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in an unknown time period, certainly sometime after the early 18th century. After his death, his portrait was hung at the Headmaster's office, in order to offer advice to the current Head.

### Post-mortem

In his lifetime, Professor Fortescue had at least one child. His surname lived on to the 1990s, in the person of Florean Fortescue, his direct descendant, who ran Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour in Diagon Alley.

#### 1995

> "*Insubordination, sir! Dereliction of duty!*"
> ― Fortescue to Phineas Nigellus[source]
>
>

Shortly after Arthur Weasley was attacked by Nagini at the Department of Mysteries, in 1995, Professor Albus Dumbledore attempted to wake up the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black, to tell Sirius Black that Harry Potter and the Weasley children were going to 12 Grimmauld Place. As Phineas expressed unwillingness to help, the portrait of Dexter Fortescue was particularly vocal, as was Armando Dippet and a portrait of an unidentified female Head.

> "*Blatant corruption! The Ministry did not cut deals with petty criminals in my day, no sir, they did not!*"
> ― Fortescue to Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge[source]
>
>

In 1995, he roared his disapproval at Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge when the latter explained to the former how she had learned of the first meeting of Dumbledore's Army in the Hog's Head Inn. She explained that Willy Widdershins had been there and had reported back. Minerva McGonagall, also present, commented that she had wondered how Willy had gotten off so lightly after all those regurgitating toilets, and Fortescue erupted, saying that they did not cut deals with petty criminals in his day.

#### 1998

When Harry Potter went to the Headmaster's office, shortly after Lord Voldemort's defeat and the end of the Second Wizarding War, Fortescue joined the ovation made by the previous Hogwarts Headmaster, waving him his ear trumpet.

## Etymology

The name "Dexter" comes from an occupational surname meaning "one who dyes" in Old English. It also coincides with the Latin word *dexter* meaning "right-handed, skilled".
C. Roemmele

**C. Roemmele** was a Muggle woman who was headmistress of St. Grogory's Primary School in the early 1990s.

## Biography

She once sent a letter to Vernon and Petunia Dursley informing them that their nephew and ward, Harry Potter, had been "climbing school buildings," when he had in fact unintentionally flown onto the school roof while trying to hide from his cousin Dudley and his gang.

On 22 June, 1991, Roemmele presented Dudley with an award for "always eating up his lunch."

Beater

> "*...you have two Beaters on each team — it's their job to protect their side from the Bludgers and try and knock them towards the other team.*"
> ― Description of the position[source]
>
>

**Beater** is a position in the Wizarding sport of Quidditch. There are two Beaters on every Quidditch team, and they are the only players on the pitch who have bats. Their job is to keep the Bludgers away from their team and at the same time try and aim the Bludgers towards the opposite team.

## History

Beaters have probably existed in the game of Quidditch since the introduction of the Bludger. Beaters are not meant to be goal scorers, and there is no indication that any Beater has ever handled the Quaffle during gameplay.

## Traits

Beaters need to be well built, having considerable physical strength in their arms since they are charged with hitting the Bludgers throughout the whole match. Because of this, most of the beaters throughout history have been wizards rather than witches playing in this position. However, there have been exceptions, such as the famous Captain of the Holyhead Harpies, Gwenog Jones, among others.
Beaters also need to have good balance, as they are, at times, required to take both hands off their broomstick.

Hiccoughing Solution

> "*Malfoy was already packing up, sour-faced; Slughorn had pronounced his Hiccoughing Solution merely 'passable'.*"
> ― Description[source]

The **Hiccoughing Solution** is a potion that presumably causes hiccoughs.

## History

Draco Malfoy brewed some when Horace Slughorn asked his sixth year Potions students to make something "amusing," but Slughorn was unimpressed with Draco's work, declaring it only "passable". Draco's lack of enthusiasm for the class most likely contributed to the lack of effort.

The Hogwarts Apothecary Department carries the Hiccoughing Solution in its stores.

Goyle Snr

> "*And here, we have Crabbe . . . you will do better this time, will you not, Crabbe? And you, Goyle?*"
> ― Voldemort greeting his Death Eaters in the Little Hangleton graveyard[source]

>

**Mr Goyle** was a Dark Wizard, Death Eater, husband of Mrs Goyle and the father of Gregory. Goyle fought during the First Wizarding War. He didn't search for Lord Voldemort after his first downfall, but this was forgiven in 1995, after Voldemort's return at the Little Hangleton graveyard, in which Goyle was present. Goyle possibly fought at several battles of the Second Wizarding War, including the Battle of Hogwarts. After the battle and Voldemort's final defeat, Goyle was presumably killed or imprisoned in Azkaban.

## Biography

### First Wizarding War

Goyle was a Death Eater during the First Wizarding War and was loyal to his master up until his downfall, when Goyle managed to avoid Azkaban. Around the downfall of Voldemort, Goyle and his wife had a baby boy, Gregory Goyle, who would be educated at Hogwarts from 1991 to 1998, and be friends with Vincent Crabbe and Draco Malfoy.

### Second Wizarding War

> "*My father reckons your aunt's a troublemaker, someone will teach her a lesson!*"
> ― Gregory Goyle mentioning his father to Susan Bones[source]
>
>

Goyle was one of the few Death Eaters who returned to Lord Voldemort when he rose to power again in 1995. Voldemort was displeased when he learned that Goyle did not attempt to find him, but Goyle was forgiven.

During the 1995-1996 school year, Goyle's son, Gregory, and Crabbe's son, Vincent, both cornered Susan Bones, and Gregory told her that his father thought that her aunt Amelia Bones was a trouble-maker.

His actions following his master's return are unknown. It is likely that he participated in many battles during the Second Wizarding War, including the Battle of Hogwarts. He was presumably killed or imprisoned in Azkaban following Voldemort's defeat.

## Physical description

Much like his son he was described as a large man, about as large as Crabbe and significantly more so than Nott. He was also known to have a dull sounding voice.
Beast Division

The **Beast Division** is one of three divisions under the control of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

Kneazle

### Distinction

* Cat-like, flecked, speckled or spotted fur, out-sized ears and a tail like that of a lion's

* Independent
* Sometimes aggressive
* Capable of guarding homes

### Affiliation

* Wizardkind

A **Kneazle** is a magical beast related to, and similar in appearance to, a cat.

## Description

They have spotted, speckled or flecked fur, large ears and a lightly plumed tail, akin to that of a lion's. They are thought to have separate breeds, like cats, and therefore vary in appearance. They make excellent pets if they like a witch or wizard. Kneazles can interbreed with normal cats, and generally have up to eight kittens in every litter. Kneazle owners are required to have a licence to own the animals. Some wizards and witches make a living by breeding Kneazles or part-Kneazles. Arabella Figg, a Squib, made her living in this manner, which would explain why she has so many cats. One notable Kneazle hybrid is Hermione Granger's half-Kneazle, Crookshanks, who was purchased by her from the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley in 1993, which is known to sell Kneazles.

Kneazle whiskers can be used in wand cores although they are said to make inferior wands when compared with Unicorn hair, Phoenix feather and Dragon heartstring.

### Nature

They have a very high level of intelligence, are independent and occasionally aggressive, and have an uncanny ability to detect suspicious and distrustful people. They can also safely guard their owners home. Because of their aggression towards certain individuals, Kneazles have an XXX classification by the Ministry of Magic, *if* they are not interbred with another species.

## History

In 1832, wizard Abel Treetops of Cincinnati claimed to have patented a method of taming Wampus cats for use as guards over wizarding houses. Treetops was exposed as a fraud when MACUSA raided his home and found him putting Engorgement Charms on Kneazles.

During the Calamity in the 2010s, several Kneazle Foundables were guarded by Fire-breathing chicken Confoundables, which appeared throughout the Wizarding world. Volunteer members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force had to liberate these Kneazles being provoked by these Fire-breathing chickens by using the Ebublio Jinx to trap the chickens and allow the Kneazle Foundables to return to their rightful place of origin.

Nimbus Racing Broom Company

The **Nimbus Racing Broom Company** is a broomstick company formed in 1967 by Devlin Whitehorn. Its arrival galvanised the racing broom market, and its first product, the Nimbus 1000, was a revolutionary design. The Nimbus immediately became the broom of choice for professional Quidditch teams across Europe, and subsequent models have kept Nimbus at the top of the field until the Firebolt came along.

## Products

* Fambus Station Wagon
* Nimbus 1000 - The first broomstick of the Nimbus series, this model was revolutionary in its day for reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour and being capable of turning 360 degrees at a fixed point in mid-air. This broom put the Nimbus Racing Broom Company at the top of the broom manufacturing field, a title it boasted for some time.
* Nimbus 1001
* Nimbus 1500
* Nimbus 1700 - Brooms which followed the release of the Nimbus 1000 between 1967 and 1990 and ensured the Nimbus Racing Broom Company stayed atop the field of sport brooms.
* Nimbus 2000 - Harry Potter's first broom, ordered for him by Professor McGonagall in his first year.  At the time he received it, it was the best broom available; he used it until it blew into the Whomping Willow during his third year.
* Nimbus 2001 - Released just before the start of Harry's second year in 1992, a year after the Nimbus 2000. Lucius Malfoy bought seven of these to outfit the Slytherin Quidditch team; there's some evidence that this was why his son Draco was made the team's Seeker.
Moke

The **Moke** is a magical lizard with silver-green skin that is native to the Great Britain and Ireland.

## Description

It can reach up to ten inches in length. The Moke has never been noticed by Muggles since it has the ability to shrink at will.

Mokeskin is highly prized in the making of purses and money-bags. A Mokeskin purse will shrink at the approach of a stranger, making it virtually impossible for a stranger to find. Once the owner puts something inside the bag, no one but the owner can get it out. Rubeus Hagrid gave Harry Potter a Mokeskin bag as a gift on his seventeenth birthday.

## History

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

**Minister Nobby Leach** was the British Minister for Magic between 1962 and 1968. He was the first Muggle-born Minister for Magic to ever hold office.

## Biography

### Early life

Leach was born into a Muggle family in Great Britain, sometime in or prior to 1945. He was somehow trained in the magical arts and eventually managed to become the Minister for Magic for Britain and Ireland, being elected at least once.

### Minister for Magic

In 1962, Leach was the first Muggle-born to be appointed to the post of Minister for Magic. Several of the oldest members of the Wizengamot resigned government posts in protest of his appointment. Though Leach was believed to have played a part in England's 1966 World Cup Win, he denied these claims, stating that he had no part whatsoever. He left his post in 1968 due to a shady plot, of which Abraxas Malfoy was believed part, that resulted in his contracting a mysterious illness.

## Etymology

* *Nobby* is a diminutive form of the name *Norbert*, meaning both "north" and "bright".
* *Leach* could refer to a sub-class of worm and an ingredient in Polyjuice Potion, the leech. Surname from a mediæval doctor (reference to use of leeches in bloodletting).
Broom Regulatory Control

> "*Level Six, Department of Magical Transportation, incorporating the Floo Network Authority, Broom Regulatory Control, Portkey Office and Apparition Test Centre.*"
> ― Voice of lift at the Ministry of Magic[source]
>
>

The **Broom Regulatory Control** is part of the Department of Magical Transportation in the Ministry of Magic. This particular branch is in charge of managing the usage and maintenance of magic Brooms and is located on the sixth level of the Ministry of Magic Headquarters.

There has never been any mention of licencing requirements in order to use broomsticks, even racing brooms like Harry Potter's Firebolt. The Broom Regulatory Control may be responsible for regulating the manufacturers of magical broomsticks, rather than policing their users.
Emmeline Vance

> "*And anyway, life’s too short... look at Madam Bones, look at Emmeline Vance... it could be me next, couldn’t it?*"
> ― Emmeline's death[source]
>
>

**Emmeline Vance** (d. early July, 1996) was a witch and a member of the first and second Order of the Phoenix. She most likely fought in several battles in both the First and Second Wizarding Wars with the Order, and was also a member of the Advance Guard. Emmeline was murdered by Death Eaters in mid-1996. She was considered a highly talented and prodigious witch and her death was a significant and devastating loss to the Order.

## Biography

Emmeline served as a member of the original Order of the Phoenix, an organisation constructed by Albus Dumbledore in order to oppose Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. She fought in the First Wizarding War and unlike many others ultimately survived, living well past Voldemort's first fall.

When Lord Voldemort returned to power in 1995, Vance became a member of the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix. One of Vance's more important duties was to serve as a member of the Advance Guard that acted as protectors of Harry Potter after they extracted him from 4 Privet Drive and took him to the safety of the Order's headquarters at 12 Grimmauld Place. During the flight, Vance and the other Order members constantly changed their positions and Harry glimpsed Vance with her wand out, alert and waiting for signs of danger.

Emmeline's long distinguished service to the Order ended however, when she was attacked and murdered by Death Eaters near the residence of the Muggle Prime Minister in the second week of July, 1996. Her death was considered a significant and devastating loss for the Order, and her murder was publicised in Muggle newspapers, most likely because of the place of her murder being so close to the Prime Minister. Severus Snape claimed to have given information to Voldemort that led to Vance's death, but considering he was in fact a double agent ultimately loyal to the Order, it is unknown if he actually did so.

## Etymology

The name "Emmeline" comes from an Old French form of the Germanic name Amelina, originally a diminutive of Germanic names beginning with the element amal meaning "work". It was introduced to England by the Normans.

Gryffindor Common Room

> "*Once you’ve arrived inside Gryffindor Tower, come inside and be welcomed by the roaring fire, stuffed armchairs, and the great view we have from our windows. Our dormitories are reached by climbing the winding mahogany staircase, decorated with crimson and gold. As I said, there's plenty of gold around the tower. Our four-posters are covered with thick scarlet blankets (we have quite windy nights up in the towers) and are embroidered with gold. Gold chandeliers cast warm glows all around.*"

**Gryffindor Common Room** serves as a Common room for Gryffindor House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In general, it sports several shades of red and gold. The fireplace mantle is adorned with a portrait of a lion (associated with the house) and the room is described as being 'cosy'.

## Entrance

 File:Fat Lady portrait.jpg
The entrance to the Gryffindor common room is concealed under the portrait of the Fat Lady, on the lavish Gryffindor Landing.

To enter one must present the Fat Lady with the correct password of the week. However, getting the password wrong means the student will have to wait the day for another student to come by and pass them the code.

## Description

> "*...the portrait swung forward to reveal a round hole in the wall. They all scrambled through it — and found themselves in the Gryffindor common room, a cosy, round room full of squashy armchairs.*"

 File:GryffindorCommonRoom PM.jpg
The common room is a circular room where Gryffindor students can relax after a long day of studying. It is full of squashy armchairs, tables, and a bulletin board where school notices, ads, lost posters, etc. can be posted. The common room is decorated in several shades of red, which is associated with the house. The common room is comfortable, but not more comfortable than the Hufflepuff basement.

There are many windows that look out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace dominates one wall. The mantle of the fireplace is adorned with a portrait of a lion. The fireplace is also connected to the Floo Network, but as it is extremely public except in the dead of night. The walls are decorated with scarlet tapestries that depict witches and wizards, but also various animals. There are also bookcases located in the room, filled with various novels.

 File:GryffindorCommonRoom1 PM.jpg
The common room is usually where celebration parties are held after Gryffindor Quidditch victories, or when Harry Potter completed a task for the Triwizard Tournament. It was also the location for Harry and Ginny Weasley's first kiss following Gryffindor's Quidditch Cup victory in 1997. The common room fireplace was used on several occasions by Sirius Black to contact Harry while he was on the run from the Ministry of Magic.
Galleon

A **Galleon** or **Gold-Galleon** is the most valued coin of the wizarding currency. One Galleon is equal to 17 Sickles or 493 Knuts. Galleons are made of gold.

## History

### Early history

By the mid-thirteenth century, Galleons were already in circulation in wizarding Britain.

In the 1260s, the Galleon had much more value than today: one Galleon at the time was equivalent to more than 6677ʛ today.

### Recent history

By the 20th century, the Galleon was worth far less than in the thirteenth century. In 2001, one Galleon was equivalent to five Muggle pounds

## Fake Galleons

Galleons made of Leprechaun gold were common at Quidditch games where Leprechauns are the mascots for the Irish team. These Galleons are occasionally in temporary circulation (they vanish a few hours after appearing), but goblin experts at Gringotts can differentiate them from real ones.

Rubeus Hagrid used Leprechaun gold fake Galleons at a 1995 Care of Magical Creatures class, while teaching students about Nifflers' ability to hunt for shiny objects like coins.

Hermione Granger fabricated fake Galleons for members of Dumbledore's Army as a means of conveying clandestine communication about the time of future meetings.

Ludo Bagman used Leprechaun gold to pay Fred and George Weasley after their bet resulting in them blackmailing Ludo with no luck. Bagman also paid several goblins with the same type of gold, but they caught on and made him suffer dearly.

Ronald Weasley paid Harry Potter back for a pair of omnioculars with Leprechaun gold, without realising that it wasn't real.
Caterwauling Charm

> "*The air was rent by a scream... It tore at every nerve in Harry's body, and he knew immediately that their appearance had caused it.*"
> ― The trio setting off the Caterwauling Charm at Hogsmeade[source]
>
>

The **Caterwauling Charm** (*incantation unknown*) caused any unauthorised person entering the perimeter of a certain area to set off an "alarm" which made a high-pitched scream.

## History

> "*They were ready for us. They set up that spell to tell them we'd come. I reckon they've done something to keep us here, trap us —*"
> ― Harry Potter on the Death Eaters' use of the charm[source]
>
>

During the height of the Second Wizarding War, a Caterwauling Charm was placed on the grounds of Hogsmeade, which would be activated if anyone went on the village streets after a certain time. This curfew was put in place so that the Death Eaters could be instantly aware if an intruder (they were particularly interested in Harry Potter) entered the village past the curfew, immediately setting off the high pitched wail of the charm.

As it happened, Harry and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley did indeed accidentally set off a Caterwauling Charm when they Apparated into Hogsmeade on 1 May, 1998. This alerted the Death Eaters in the village to their presence, although the trio managed to avoid being captured with the help of Aberforth Dumbledore, who convinced the Death Eaters he had set off the charm by putting his cat out of his house, and was able to pass off his goat-shaped Patronus for the stag-shaped one that Harry was forced to conjure (under his Invisibility Cloak) in order to ward off the Dementors that the Death Eaters summoned to find him and his friends.
Administrative Registration Department

The **Administrative Registration Department** was a department of the Ministry of Magic. It was probably a sub-division of another department, such as the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and was responsible for the registration of the wizarding population. After the Fall of the Ministry of Magic the Muggle-Born Registration Commission was created under this department.

It is possible that once a witch or wizard had a child, they had to register the baby as a member of the magical community of Great Britain through this department.
Manticore

> "*The Manticore is a highly dangerous Greek beast with the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. As dangerous as the Chimaera, and as rare, the Manticore is reputed to croon softly as it devours its prey. Manticore skin repels almost all known charms and the sting causes instant death.*"
> ― Newt Scamander, Template:FB[source]
>
>

The **Manticore** was a magical beast and one of the wizarding world's most dangerous creatures.

## Description

A Manticore had a the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion that will kill anyone instantly. A Manticore's skin repelled all known charms, so it was extremely difficult to subdue a Manticore with magic. It was known to be capable of human speech, and was considered a sentient beast. The Manticore sang softly as it ate its prey.

## History

The Manticore originated in Greece, and is as rare as the Chimaera. The sting of the Manticore causes instant death, and it is reputed to croon softly to its victims as it devours them.

In 1296, a Manticore savaged a person. It managed to escape execution because it was too ferocious to be captured.

Manticores were not offered the status of Being by the British Ministry of Magic because of their violent and extremely dangerous tendencies.

In 1957, Norvel Twonk died while saving a Muggle child from a runaway Manticore. He was posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class.

Rubeus Hagrid somehow managed to get Manticores to breed with fire crabs, creating the hybrid Blast-Ended Skrewts.

At one point in the late 2010s, a British witch named Theresa Stadt was found to have somehow raised a Manticore called "Mr Whiskers" from infancy. When the Ministry of Magic was notified of this Manticore, they sent a Magizoologist member of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force to retrieve it, which proved a "remarkably ghastly affair".
