Professor Tofty was an old, bald wizard who worked for the Wizarding Examinations Authority in the capacity of Examiner. He had a quavery old voice and wore pince-nez glasses. He was good friends with Tiberius Ogden, who told him that Harry Potter was able of conjuring a corporeal Patronus. Tofty examined Harry Potter in his O.W.L. practical examination on Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Astronomy, as well as his History of Magic theory essay. At the close of the Dark Arts examination, Professor Tofty asked Harry Potter to cast a Patronus for an extra point.
When Dolores Umbridge attempted a sneak attack on Rubeus Hagrid during the Astronomy exam, Professor Tofty tried to persuade the observing students to focus on their examination instead of the attack. However, when the Aurors launched four Stunning Spells at Professor McGonagall causing her to collapse, Tofty also forgot the examination and shouted in anger and shock at such a disgraceful assault.
After Harry's vision during the History of Magic exam, Tofty escorted Harry out of the hall and told him to either return to finish what he could of the examination or visit Madam Pomfrey to get a glass of water.
