Montague was the surname of a wizarding family in Great Britain.[1] The family's blood status is unknown, but since Graham Montague was Sorted into Slytherin,[1] it is unlikely, though not impossible,[4] that he came from a completely Muggle background.
Family Members[]
- Graham Montague — a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s.[1]

Etymology[]
The surname Montague means "pointed hill" in Old French, from the elements mont, "hill", and agu, "pointed."[5] In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the Montagues are an Italian family locked in a violent feud with another clan, the Capulets. Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet, with tragic consequences.
