Biography

Born in England or Ireland, sometime prior to 1993, Sapworthy attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into the Gryffindor House^[1]. She presumably excelled in the studies of divination^[2] and herbology^[3], as she later wrote books on both subjects. Once she graduated from Hogwarts, Sapworthy became an aide to the International Quidditch Team, and a portrait of her was hung at Hogwarts.
