Cantankerus Nott (fl. 1930s) was a wizard and a member of the pure-blood Nott family. He was widely believed to have been the one who penned the Pure-Blood Directory. This book listed the "twenty-eight truly pure-blood families", with "the aim of helping such families maintain the purity of their bloodlines". This book was also published anonymously in Britain in the early 1930s.[1]

Etymology

  • "Cantankerous" is a word meaning ill-tempered, surly, argumentative, and uncooperative.

Behind the scenes

  • He was most likely related to Theodore Nott as well as his father. It is also possible that he was Theodore's grandfather.
  • Some of the families presented in his apparent directory weren't as pure-blooded as he claimed, such as the Ollivander family. Also many pure-blooded families such as the Potters, the Crabbes, and the Goyles were not listed, in fact many pure-blood supremacists were angered by their lack of inclusion. Due to this, if he was the one behind the Pure-Blood Directory, Cantankerus Nott seems to have been a highly biased individual.
