McGonagall is the surname of a wizarding family[1] that was closely tied with Hogwarts School. It is unknown whether they are pure-blood or have both magical and Muggle heritage and ancestry[2].
Known Members
Minerva, Headmistress of Hogwarts School.
Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1937 and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. She graduated in 1944, 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 sacking of Severus Snape, Minerva became the full time Headmistress of the school.

M. G. McGonagall
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.
Behind the Scenes
- In early drafts of the first book, the family's name was McGonagle.[3]
Notes and references
- ↑ As the only known two McGonagalls are wizards, it is unlikely that it is a Muggle family
- ↑ They cannot be a Muggle family, as Minerva McGonagall would've been incarcerated in Azkaban by the Death Eaters in 1997 otherwise
