J.K. Rowling responds: Dumbledore is a hundred and fifty, and Professor McGonagall is a sprightly seventy. Wizards have a much longer life expectancy than Muggles.
This means Professor McGonagall, whom we initially thought was 56 during Harry's first year at Hogwarts (1991), was actually closer to 101.
This would possibly the character of McGonagall over 100 years old around the time of the Harry Potter books. The official online resource for Harry Potter, WizardingWorld.com, confirms this discrepancy, listing McGonagall's date of birth as 4 October 1935.
According to the book, Professor Minerva McGonagall is only 56, but why in the movie, does she look over 70 years old?
Riddle is 9 years OLDER than McGonagall.
Later in the year, McGonagall duelled with Death Eater Alecto Carrow during the Battle in the Astronomy Tower and later learned of Snape's murder of Dumbledore. McGonagall was initially appointed as Headmistress, but was demoted after Voldemort took control of the school and placed Snape as Headmaster.
She Screams When Harry 'Dies'
And this tips Minerva over the edge, with the Transfiguration teacher letting out a horrendous scream that pierces the air. Harry is actually alive, of course, but he's shocked that McGonagall could make such a noise.
Rowling said in an interview that Dumbledore was about 150 years old. However, on her website, she states that Dumbledore was born in 1881, making him either 115 or 116 at the time of his death.
No, McGonagall wasn't Filch's mom. She never had a child. Filch belonged to a completely different wizarding family and was a squib. Why did McGonagall drag Draco around by the ear?
J.K. Rowling has revealed on Pottermore.com, that the young McGonagall fell in love with a handsome Muggle, Dougal McGregor. She never revealed to him that she was a witch, and, unwilling to continually hide this from other Muggles, broke off their engagement after one day to fully pursue a Wizarding life.
Harry watched Hagrid getting redder and redder in the face as he called for more wine, finally kissing Professor McGonagall on the cheek, who, to Harry's amazement, giggled and blushed, her top hat lop-sided.
And, naturally, J.K. Rowling herself is a Gryffindor.
Rowling revealed her house during a livestream in 2012.
Professor McGonagall is a Death Eater
According to the theory, McGonagall's seeming disregard for Harry Potter's safety, her talent for transfiguration, and and her stoic nature all point to the fact that she was a Death Eater.
Minerva McGonagall was the first child, and only daughter, of a Scottish Presbyterian minister and a Hogwarts-educated witch.
Sirius Black (born November 3, 1959 - died June 18, 1996, aged 36), also known by his nickname Padfoot, is a major character from the Harry Potter series.
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Minerva was exceptionally experienced and accomplished in defensive magic as she fought in the two wizarding wars and survived, having defeated powerful dark wizards and witches in process and even surviving a duel with Voldemort himself.
Death Eaters killed Professor McGonagall's first love.
During Lord Voldemort's first attempt to take over the world, Death Eaters went on random anti-Muggle killing sprees. During one of these sprees, they killed McGonagall's first love, Dougal McGregor.
She accuses them of concocting the whole dragon story to lure Malfoy out of bed and get him into trouble. As punishment, McGonagall deducts fifty points from Gryffindor for each of the three wrongdoers.
And Filch talks to her like she's a human and calls her "my sweet." It's clear she's a maledictus, married Filch when she was still able to take human form, and then she succumbed to the blood curse and became permanently a cat, but Filch still loves her as his wife. It is the only.
Barry Winkel far surpasses any other known Harry Potter character who is not some sort of creature, and as noted in The Philosopher's Stone, lived to be 755 at least.
So in Chamber of secrets Harry was twelve, meaning that if Dobby would have already been of working age he'd have been something like sixteen? Idk when houseelves start working, probably younger, but this would put Dobby at twenty-eight years old at least, more likely thirty- something.
In fact, Snape fought off McGonagall and directed her attacks against the Deatheaters behind him. Her desire to protect her students and her love of Hogwarts was on full display here. If at full capacity, defending everything she held dear, the new Headmistress McGonagall was unable to defeat Snape.
McGonagall followed up Harry's action by using the Imperius Curse on Amycus before tying him up with a net, rendering him useless during the Battle of Hogwarts.
None of the pupils had the power to cast Avada Kedavra. Not even McGonagall could cast it, and she was duelling to kill - she said so herself.
