Known MembersEdit

Robert McGonagallEdit

The father of Minerva McGonagall, Reverend Robert McGonagall was a Muggle Presbyterian minister who lived in the highlands of Scotland during the early 20th century. He married Isobel Ross, a Hogwarts-educated witch and had several children: Minerva, their oldest child and only daughter, and two younger sons, Malcolm and Robert Jr.

Minerva McGonagallEdit

Minerva McGonagall attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1946 and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. She graduated in 1954, after which she proceeded to replace Albus Dumbledore as Transfiguration Professor, as well as Head of Gryffindor House. She taught hundreds of students during her time there, while she also assisted the Order of the Phoenix in the war against Lord Voldemort. After the ousting of Severus Snape, Minerva became the full time Headmistress of the school.

M. G. McGonagallEdit

M. G. McGonagall attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven in the late 1960s. McGonagall was Sorted into Gryffindor House, the House which was Headed at the time by Minerva McGonagall herself. As such, McGonagall was taught Transfiguration by Minerva as well. McGonagall also joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was awarded a plaque for it in 1971.
