Daisy Dodderidge (1467–1555)[1][2] was the witch who built the Leaky Cauldron in a successful attempt to create a gateway between the Muggle and wizarding worlds.[3] She was the original landlady of the pub[1], and the Leaky Cauldron soon became the primary entrance into Diagon Alley.[3]
She was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card after her death in 1555.[2][3]
Etymology[]
The name "Daisy" is simply from the English word for the white flower, ultimately derived from Old English dægeseage meaning "day eye". It was first used as a given name in the 19th century, at the same time many other plant and flower names were coined.
Behind the scenes[]
- Daisy Dodderidge's Wizard of the Month entry and Chocolate Frog Card from the video games gives her dates as 1467-1555, but the Wizard of the Coast Chocolate Frog Cards lists them as 1457-1555.[1][2][3]
- In Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, her name on her Chocolate Frog Card is incorrectly labelled "Damara Dodderidge".
