The esteemed Seer Cassandra Vablatsky

"True Seers are very rare, and Professor Trelawney..."
— Minerva McGonagall being dubious on Sybill Trelawney's ingenuity as a Seer[src]

A Seer was a gifted wizard or witch who had the ability to see into the future with their Inner Eye.[1]

Description

Seers predicted prophecies, which were then recorded and stored in the Hall of Prophecy in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries.[2][3]

According to Minerva McGonagall, true Seers were extremely rare, and she had doubt that Sybill Trelawney could be considered as one despite her sporadically accurate predictions.[1][4]

Albus Dumbledore once told Harry Potter that seeing into the future was incredibly difficult because of the complexity of every single action and their consequences.[5]

Centaurs were Seers with their own brand of Divination, which differs from that of humans.[6]
