Laverne de Montmorency (1823—1893) was a nineteenth-century potioneer, who invented a number of love potions. She appears on a Chocolate Frog Card.[2]
Biography
Early life
- "Ravenclaw house has an illustrious history. Most of the greatest wizarding inventors and innovators were in our house, including […] Laverne de Montmorency, a great pioneer of love potions […]."
- — Robert Hilliard.[src]
Laverne de Montmorency was born in 1823, somewhere in the British Isles.[2]
In her youth, she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from around 1834 to 1841, and was Sorted into Ravenclaw.[1]
Adulthood
After her graduation from Hogwarts School, Laverne de Montmorency presumably studied further into Potion-making, becoming an accomplished potioneer and an expert in Love Potions. She became famous for her invention of many such potions.[2]
Death and post-mortem
Ms. de Montmorency died in 1893, aged around 70. In her honour, her invention of many Love Potions was recorded on a Chocolate Frog Card.
On 1 September, 1991, Prefect Robert Hilliard welcomed the Ravenclaw first years to Ravenclaw Tower with a short speech, in which he mentioned potioneer Laverne de Montmorency as one of the many notable Hogwarts students, who had been Sorted, like them, into Ravenclaw.[1]
Etymology
The House of Montmorency was one of the oldest and most distinguished noble families in France. Montmorency was also the name of the family's fiefdom.
