Natalie McDonald was born in 1983 and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was sorted into Gryffindor house in 1994.
In real life, Natalie McDonald was a young Canadian fan of the novels with a terminal illness, who wrote to J.K. Rowling asking to know what the future books---which Natalie most likely would never read---were about. J.K. Rowling did not receive the letter until after a vacation, and though she admits to fearing it was "too late," wrote back, only to find out from Natalie's mother that she had passed away. The two women began a friendship, and Natalie was thus added to the books (into Gryffindor, the house of bravery), as a tribute.[1]
