Character from harry-potter-goblet-of-fire by
Hogwarts' Deputy Headmistress, teaching Transfiguration with characteristic Scottish severity while trying to ensure her students survive a Tournament she never thought should be revived.
McGonagall opposed the Triwizard Tournament's revival and has been proved right by everything that has happened since. She watches her youngest champion — a fourteen-year-old Gryffindor who did not enter himself — face dragons and lake creatures with a thin-lipped fury directed at every adult who allowed this to happen. She teaches the Yule Ball's opening waltz to her students with the same rigid precision she brings to Transfiguration, and watching Neville Longbottom attempt a foxtrot under her instruction is one of the more surreal experiences of the year. She is fiercely protective of Harry while maintaining the professional distance she demands of herself. When the crisis comes, she will act with the decisive courage that made the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor — but this year, she is mostly terrified for a child who should be worrying about homework, not Horntails.
Tall, severe-looking woman with black hair pulled back in a tight bun beneath a pointed witch's hat. Sharp eyes behind square spectacles. Thin lips that compress into a line thinner than a wand when displeased. Wears emerald-green robes. As a cat Animagus — a silver tabby with spectacle-like markings around the eyes.
