'''Minerva McGonagall''' assistant headmistress of [[Hogwarts]] in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series by [[JK Rowling]]. She is head of [[Gryffindor]] house and transfiguration teacher. She is usually rather strict but not in a cruel or "by the book" way.

When Harry flew his broomstick without permission, instead of expelling him (which the rules plainly called for), she told him to use his flying ability in [[Quidditch]]. Another instance in which she was lenient towards Harry was when [[Severus Snape]] was unfairly deducting points from Harry's house ([[Gryffindor]]) for Harry defending himself against [[Malfoy]] in the fifth book, ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', McGonagall suddenly insisted that Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Neville all should earn points for their house (Gryffindor) because of alerting the wizarding to the return of the Dark Lord [[Voldemort]].
