Professor Swoopstikes was a wizard and a former Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[3]

Biography[]

Professor Swoopstikes became the Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at an unknown point in the school's history. He was also an entomologist, with a vast knowledge of magical insects. Professor Swoopstikes was also a fan of the Tutshill Tornados Quidditch team.[3]

A portrait of Professor Swoopstikes was hung in the Tracery Hall at Hogwarts Castle, depicting him among his vast insect collection, holding a magnifying glass in one hand and a Billywig in the other.

Magical abilities and skills[]

Etymology[]

  • To "swoop" is to "move rapidly downward through the air", perhaps an indication towards entomology.[4]
  • A "stike" is a stanza, and therefore the plural form of stike, "stikes", refers to multiple stanzas.[5]
