This individual was a British wizard who, in 1544, held the post of Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.[1]

On 16 July, 1544, the Chief Warlock was invited by Jarieth Hobart to witness his "maiden flight" — a public demonstration of his own revolutionary Hover Charm on himself. Hobart climbed onto the roof of his local church and, after several speeches and a rousing performance of the national anthem he leapt and, having cast the spell, was left hovering in mid-air. At first, he seemed to have succeeded[1] but, after having spent nearly three minutes watching him hanging in mid-air, the crowd grew impatient to see him move somewhere, and either booed him or threw rotten food at him.[2]
