"Mens sana in corpore sano."
— Aragon's motto, as inscribed on the portrait depicting him and Professor Gagwilde playing chess[src]

Professor Walter Aragon[3] was a wizard. Professor Aragon worked in the capacity of Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at some point during his life.[4]

Biography[]

At some point in his life, Professor Aragon became the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[4] He also seemed to have an interest in Care of Magical Creatures, as he authored at least one title on the subject, Newts of Bognor.[5] Aragon was also a fervent Wizard's Chess competitor, and used to play with his contemporary Brian Gagwilde.[2]

Professor Aragon died sometime before 1943.[1] There were portraits of the professor hung at the Grand Staircase[6] and one at the Headmaster's office[4] in order to give advice to the current headmaster.

Aragon had a Wizard's Chess competition named after him called the Walter Aragon Wizard Chess Competition.[2]

Thus, Aragon must have died sometime in or before 1995, given his portrait's appearance in the Headmaster's office in the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
