Mnemone Radford (1562 - 1649) was a witch, who first developed Memory Modifying Charms. She became the first Ministry of Magic Obliviator, due to her skill with the charm.[1]
Behind the scenes
- There are a few issues with this character's chronological timeframe. For one, Pottermore reveals that the Ministry of Magic was only formally established in 1707, 58 years after Mnemone Radford died, so it is uncertain exactly how she could have worked for the Ministry. Even if one considers that the phrase "Ministry of Magic" used on Wizard of the Month is an over-simplification of "Wizards' Council", it is still left unexplained what use would an Obliviator have in the days before the establishment of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692.
Etymology
Mnemone Radford is described as inventing the Memory Modifying Charm. Mnemosyne was an ancient Greek goddess of memory. Her daughter, Mneme was the muse of memory.
