- "This is Amos Diggory, everyone. Works for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."
- — Arthur Weasley introducing Amos to his kids[src]
Amos Diggory[3][4][7] was a wizard who worked in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in the British Ministry of Magic.[4] He and his wife lost their son Cedric in June of 1995, when he was murdered by Peter Pettigrew on Lord Voldemort's orders.[8]
Biography
Early life
Amos most likely attended Hogwarts. He started working in the Ministry of Magic sometime after leaving school.
1994
Amos in 1994
The Diggory family lived either in or near to the village of Ottery St Catchpole, near the Weasley and Fawcett families.[4] In 1994, Amos and his family attended the Quidditch World Cup.[4] After a Death Eater riot broke out, a team of witches and wizards, including Amos, found the house-elf Winky lying beneath the Dark Mark and questioned her about what happened.[7]
He performed Prior Incantato on the wand of Harry Potter to deduce who had used the Morsmordre spell.[7] Later, he asked Arthur Weasley to help Alastor Moody out of trouble;[9] unbeknownst to him, this was the day Moody was kidnapped by Barty Crouch Jr.[10] Amos simply thought it was another false alarm from the paranoid Moody and wanted to ensure that the former Auror's new job at Hogwarts would not be jeopardised.[9]
Amos travelling to the 1994 Quidditch World Cup
That same year, Amos's son Cedric was selected as Hogwarts' champion in the Triwizard Tournament, something for which Amos was extremely proud.[11] However, Harry Potter's name also came out of the Goblet of Fire.[11] Many people erroneously believed that Harry intentionally tried to cheat Cedric and Hufflepuff house out of their deserved glory, as he was too young to be selected and received the most publicity.[11] Amos was openly rude to Harry before the tournament's Third Task.[3] This infuriated Molly Weasley, with whom Amos almost had a public confrontation, but his wife restrained him.[3]
Amos wishing his son good luck in the third task
Harry and Cedric considered themselves to be equally winners at the end of the tournament, thus they both touched the Triwizard Cup, unwittingly taking a Portkey as part of the trap Lord Voldemort set for Harry. Voldemort ordered his servant Peter Pettigrew to kill Cedric.[8] Harry managed to escape the graveyard with Cedric's body, returning him to his devastated parents (Amos openly sobbed later while Harry explained what happened).[12] Amos thanked Harry for returning Cedric's body, and assured him that they did not blame Harry for his death.[12] Harry tried to give them the prize money that came with winning the tournament, but they refused it. Amos subsequently had little to do in the war against Voldemort; his son was ultimately avenged when Voldemort was defeated. [12]
Physical appearance
Amos was described as being "tall"; he had a ruddy face and a "scrubby" brown beard, and wore oval-shaped glasses.[4]
Personality and traits
- "Always modest, our Ced, always the gentleman... but the best man won, I'm sure Harry'd say the same, wouldn't you, eh? One falls off his broom, one stays on, it doesn't take a genius to tell which one's the better flier!"
- — Amos on his son's flying skills[src]
Amos was extremely proud of his son, Cedric, to the point of boasting about his accomplishments at every given opportunity.[4] He became quite angry and disrespectful when Cedric was not even given a mention in the Daily Prophet story about the Triwizard Tournament, whereas Harry got a whole page to himself, though this was understandable, given that Cedric was meant to be the only Hogwarts champion.[3]
Amos was quite genial and friendly when walking through the woods with the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione Granger.[4] He was rather paternal, but came off as somewhat standoffish and rude due to his loud voice and boastfulness of his son's accomplishments.[4]
He was also quite emotional, roaring with joy when discussing Cedric winning a Quidditch game[4] and roaring with anger at Winky the house-elf when interrogating her.[7] He sobbed openly when he saw his Cedric had died and when he was interviewed about his son's death, but at least didn't blame Harry for it, and contrary, believed Harry's claim of Voldemort's return and thanked him for returning Cedric's body.[12]
Magical abilities and skills
- Magizoology: As a member of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Amos Diggory has a high level of knowledge on magical creatures, how to classify them and the various laws regulating the ownership of such creatures, such as Ban on Experimental Breeding.
Etymology
"Amos" is one of the twelve minor prophets of the Old Testament; it means "carried" in Hebrew.[13]
Behind the scenes

- — Amos Diggory's farewell to Arthur Weasley at the Quidditch World Cup[src]
- Amos' life during and after the Second Wizarding War is unknown.
- He is portrayed by Jeff Rawle in the fourth film.[14]

- In the fourth film, Amos is depicted as being quieter and more amicable than his book counterpart is shown to be.

Appearances

- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
Notes and references
- ↑ As Amos was at least seventeen years old to be working in the Ministry, and was most likely at least 17 when he became a father.
- ↑ As he couldn't pronounce "policemen" correctly, it is unlikely he grew up among Muggles. As well as this, the Diggory family are not included in the "Sacred Twenty Eight", which means that by 1930, they were no longer pure-blood; Amos, most likely born after 1930, would not be a pure-blood because of this. He cannot be Muggle-born due to a "Diggory" being Minister and Nobby Leech being the first Muggle-born Minister. The Diggory Minister preceded Nobby.
