The subject of this article is a real-life person, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was a Muggle author who wrote David Copperfield and A Tale of Two Cities.

EtymologyEdit

The name "Charles" comes from the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from a Germanic word which meant "man". However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic element hari meaning "army, warrior".
