"...Wilkes - killed by Aurors a year before Voldemort's downfall..."
Sirius Black on Wilkes[src]

Wilkes was a Death Eater who fought in the First Wizarding War until their death a year before Voldemort's fall.[3]

Biography[]

Wilkes attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1970s and was sorted into Slytherin house.[3]

According to Sirius Black, Wilkes was a member of a gang of Slytherins and aspiring Death Eaters that included Severus Snape, Avery II, Mulciber II, and Evan Rosier. They all entered the service of Lord Voldemort during the height of the First Wizarding War.[3]

Wilkes fought in several battles of the war. In 1980, a year before Lord Voldemort's downfall, Wilkes was caught by Aurors and was killed, while attempting to avoid being imprisoned in Azkaban.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Wilkes is only mentioned once in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Sirius Black does not specify their gender.
  • Wilkes shares its name with Annie Wilkes, the main antagonist of Stephen King's 1987 novel Misery, characterised mainly by her cruelty, which may have been the inspiration for the character's name and possible personality, given its nature as a Death Eater, although this is unconfirmed.
