Gamp was the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family. They were related to the Black family, and more distantly to the Macmillan and Prewett families. It is unknown if this family is still extant or pure-blood.
The only known member of this family was Hesper Black née Gamp, who married Sirius Black II, the heir of the prejudiced Black family. She was the great-grandmother of Sirius and Regulus Black.[2] Another possible family member is the witch or wizard who discovered Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Gamps were not part of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, indicating that, by the 1930s, they were either extinct in the male line or no longer pure-blood.
Etymology
Gamp is a colloquial, primarily British, term for an umbrella, believed to be derived from a character in Charles Dickens' Martin Chuzzlewit, nursemaid Sarah Gamp.
