Revision as of 18:09, 20 June 2012

M. G. McGonagall was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early 1970s. He or she played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, winning an award for it in 1971, which was displayed at Hogwarts on a plaque that also bore the names of James Potter and R. J. H. King.

McGonagall may have been related to Transfiguration teacher Minerva McGonagall. It is very likely that M.G. McGonagall is one of her nephews or nieces from her two brothers, Robert Jr and Malcolm.
