- "Julie Parkes. Gone, but not forgotten."
- — Parkes's epitaph.[src]
Julie Parkes (between 1978 and 1980—1997) was a witch. She began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1990 or 1991[1] and was Sorted into Gryffindor House.[1] Her untimely death came in the second half of 1997, possibly as a result of the Second Wizarding War, which was at its height.
Biography
Early life
Julie Parkes was born between 1978 and 1980.[1] She might have been born, lived, or had family in Godric's Hollow, as the village's cemetery was where she was buried after her untimely death.[2]
Schooling
Julie began her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the 1st of September in either 1990 or 1991,[1] and was Sorted into Gryffindor.[3]
In the 1996-1997 school year she asked Harry Potter to use a Summoning Charm to bring a jar of mandrake down from a shelf she could not reach in the Herbology Store. Later that same term, she traded eight chess pieces for sprigs of peppermint, another potion ingredient.[3]
Death
Sometime between Summer and Christmas Eve in 1997, Parkes either died or was murdered (the latter being more likely given her young age — something between twelve and eighteen — and because of the war). She was buried in the local cemetery of Godric's Hollow, next to the Parish Church of St. Clementine.[2]
