Harvey O'Brien was a Hufflepuff[3] student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s. He competed in the school Wizard Skittles tournament during the 1996–1997 school year.

Etymology[]

The name "Harvey" comes from the Breton given name Haerviu, which meant "battle worthy", from haer "battle" and viu "worthy". This was the name of a 6th-century Breton hermit who is the patron saint of the blind. It was introduced to England by settlers from Brittany after the Norman conquest.
