Changes: Stoddard Withers

Revision as of 01:38, 22 February 2015

Lord Stoddard Withers (1642–1769) was a magizoologist who bred winged horses. He created a sport that combined elements of polo and Quidditch. It was played on winged horses instead of brooms. The sport never became popular though.

Etymology

The English word "withers" refers to the back of a horse, specifically between the shoulder-blades (at which place winged horses' wings can be expected to be found).

-==Behind the scenes==
-Lord Williams' title may be indication that he was either a [[Muggle-born]] or [[half-blood]] [[wizard]]. According to [[Remus Lupin]], there are no princes in the wizarding world, and this presumably means that there is also no other nobility.<ref>''Half-Blood Prince'', Chapter 16</ref>
