Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II, or Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor (née Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) (b. 21 April, 1926), was the reigning queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms during the 1990s.

In 1991, one of the Queen's corgwn was turned into a hamster under unclear circumstances, an event that made Daily Prophet headlines.

Behind the scenes

 * In The Queen's Handbag, Queen Elizabeth II lost her handbag and the Prime Minister sent the task of finding it to Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom. The events surrounding this short skit cannot, however, be considered canon, it contradicts canon in several points.
 * It is unknown if, as Queen of the United Kingdom in the second half of the 20th century, Elizabeth II was ever made aware of the existance of the wizarding world or the wizarding goings-on like the First or Second Wizarding War, like her Prime Minister was.

Etymology
The name "Elizabeth" comes from Ελισαβετ (Elisabet), the Greek form of the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע ('Elisheva') meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance".
