Abbott is the surname of a wizarding family. They were, at one time, a pure-blood family, but recent generations of Abbotts must have married Muggles and/or Muggle-borns, as Hannah Abbott is a half-blood witch[1]. The family's traditional residence was in Godric's Hollow[2]. They are related to the Longbottom family[3].
