Female Death Eater at the Graveyard

Elsa Goyle was the mother of Gregory Goyle. She was a Death Eater who was summoned to the graveyard in Little Hangleton on the night of June 24, 1995, after the newly-resurrected Lord Voldemort summoned his followers to his side.

First Wizarding War
In order to have answered Voldemort's call on the night of his return, Elsa must have been a Death Eater during the First Wizarding War, and had to have somehow avoided imprisonment.

Voldemort's return
Elsa arrived at the graveyard in Little Hangleton after Lord Voldemort summoned his Death Eaters there on the night of June 24, 1995. She Apparated into the area, but, unlike the other Death Eaters, was not wearing a Death Eater mask and hood.

Walking around his circled followers, Voldemort viciously greeted Crabbe, Walden Macnair and Goyle. When he came to the woman, instead of attacking her like the others, he simply looked at her as she bowed down to him, showing this, Elsa must have been a faithful Death Eater. He then moved on to greet Lucius Malfoy.

She witnessed Harry Potter being put under the Cruciatus Curse by Voldemort. When Harry made to escape, she stood by, as Voldemort had ordered the Death Eaters not to do anything.

Behind the scenes

 * Elsa Goyle was portrayed by Olivia Higginbottom in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.


 * There has been some speculation that Elsa Goyle is Narcissa Malfoy. However, as Rowling stated that Narcissa was not formally a Death Eater, this is unlikely.
