Whitlock family

**Whitlock** is the surname of a wizarding family that lived in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England. Members of this family are typically half-blood and sorted into Ravenclaw. Recent members that have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry include Nancy Whitlock, who attended from 1976 until her death in 1981, as a result of the First Wizarding War.

## History

The Whitlock family can trace their lineage to the year 1895, when a muggle-born boy named Malcolm Whitlock was born in the city of Glasgow, Lanarkshire. Malcolm attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from September 1906 to June of 1913. He married Magdalene Marchbanks in 1929 and they had four children together.

Malcolm and Magdalene's descendants have gotten caught up in the First Wizarding War. Their grandson, Arthur Brown, was killed in battle in Hadleigh, Suffolk, England, in November 1980, while trying to save a muggle family from Death Eaters. Nancy Whitlock, their granddaughter, was killed on 14 February, 1981, in a skirmish in Hogsmeade, and was the only student casualty of that battle. She reportedly saved the lives of two third-years.
