Benjy Fenwick was a member of the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War. He was presumably killed and mutilated by Death Eaters before the end of the war.
Biography
Early Life
Though nothing is known about his early life, it is likely that as a British wizard, he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he turned eleven and that he had graduated by 1981 as the First Wizarding War ended that year.
First Wizarding War
During the First Wizarding War, Benjy became member of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation led and found by Albus Dumbledore, in order to oppose the evil Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Benjy probably fought in several battles of the First Wizarding War.
Death
Benjy was brutally killed by Death Eaters during the war, who fired a curse that blasted Benjy to pieces, and then disposed of his remains. According to fellow Order member Alastor Moody, the Order, in their search for Benjy's body, only ever found "bits of him."

Notes and references
- ↑ Benjy appeared in a photograph with Marlene McKinnon that was taken two weeks before Marlene's death in July 1981. This indicates Benjy was alive in the summer of 1981 and must have been killed sometime between then and Voldemort's fall (31 October, 1981).
