Mafalda Hopkirk

Mafalda Hopkirk is a diminutive witch who works in the Improper Use of Magic Office at the Ministry of Magic. She is described as being a short witch with flyaway grey hair.

It was Mafalda Hopkirk who sent notice to Harry Potter regarding his alleged illegal use of a Hover Charm at 4 Privet Drive, in 1992. Again, in 1995, she sent notices to Harry expelling and reinstating him from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after his use of the Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle, Dudley Dursley.

In 1997, Hopkirk still worked for the Ministry under the new Death Eater regime. She assisted Dolores Umbridge with the registration and persecution of Muggle-borns, apparently assigned to record-keep for Umbridge by Travers. Hermione Granger disguised herself as Hopkirk through the use of Polyjuice Potion in order to infiltrate the Ministry with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley during this time.
