- "There was also Minister Lorcan McLaird, who was a quite brilliant wizard, but preferred to communicate by puffing smoke out of the end of his wand."
- — Robert Hilliard.[src]
Minister Lorcan McLaird was a wizard, a former Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and, later in his life, British Minister for Magic.[1]
Biography
Early life
Lorcan McLaird was born no later than 1963, somewhere in the British Isles. His surname suggests he was Scottish, or had Scottish ancestry.
In his youth, he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was Sorted into Ravenclaw.[1]
As Minister for Magic
McLaird rose to the office of Minister for Magic of Great Britain sometime before 1980. He was quite a talented wizard, but was considered something of an eccentric, as he liked to communicate by puffing smoke from the tip of his wand.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Luna Lovegood may have named her son — Lorcan Scamander — after this man, probably in admiration for his eccentricity.
