- "I've got Morgana again and I've got about six of her."
- — Ron Weasley discussing Morgan le Fay's Chocolate Frog Card[src]
Morgan le Fay, more commonly known as Morgana, was a medieval Dark witch, famous for being the enemy of the legendary wizard Merlin and the half-sister of King Arthur.[1]
Biography[]
Lifetime[]
Morgan le Fay was born and lived during the Middle Ages.[1] She was known to have had a half-brother, King Arthur.[1]
During her lifetime, Morgan le Fay played a role in numerous events through her powerful magic and healing skills. She was an Animagus (taking the form of a bird).[3]
Morgan ruled as Queen of the island of Avalon.[3] However, she became a skilful practitioner of the Dark Arts and an enemy of the great wizard Merlin.[1]
Legacy[]
Morgan le Fay on a Chocolate Frog Card
Morgan le Fay was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card centuries after her death.[2] Ron Weasley claimed he owned "about six" of this card on 1 September 1991.[2]
Magical abilities and skills[]
- Dark Arts: Morgana's Famous Wizard Card described her as a powerful Dark witch.[1]
- Duelling: Morgan le Fay was evidently a dangerous duellist, as a she once fought in a duel of historic proportions with Merlin, a duel that would later be featured in the tinted window glass next to Classroom 3C during the 1890–1891 school year.[4]
- Transfiguration: Morgana was revealed to have mastered the art of Human Transfiguration, having become an Animagus; being able to turn herself into a bird at will.[3]
- Potions: Being an Animagus, Morgan would have needed to have successfully brewed an Animagus potion, in order to gain the ability to transform.[5]
- Healing magic: Morgana was noted to be particularly gifted in the art of healing magic, as she was a proficient Healer.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the 1998 television film Merlin, with Sam Neill as the title character, Morgan le Fay was portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter, who later went on to play Dark witch and Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange.
- Before Emma Watson got the part of Hermione Granger, she had acted only in school plays; one was "Arthur's Early Years", in which she played the role of Morgan le Fay.
- Morgan le Fay is based on the legendary figure of the same name, the daughter of King Arthur's mother the Lady Igraine and her first husband Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall (making her Arthur's half-sister in legend too).
- Morgan le Fay's time of existence in the Harry Potter Universe (like Merlin, King Arthur etc) is paradoxical as the Morgan le Fay of the Arthurian legends is said to have lived in the 5th or 6th century. As Merlin attended Hogwarts and she was an enemy of Merlin, then she, like the legendary version of Merlin predates Hogwarts by around 400/500 years.
