Madam Malkin was the owner of Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. She was a squat witch who was very friendly, unless anyone displayed signs of aggression in her shop.
Etymology
The name "Malkin" may be derived from "Malkin Tower" which was a key element in the Pendle Witches trial.[3]
Graymalkin was the name of a cat that belonged to one of the three witches (the Weird Sisters) in Shakespeare's MacBeth. [4]
A malkin is also an old name for a scarecrow, dressed to frighten away birds. Malkin-trash was someone who was poorly or frighteningly dressed. [5]
