Happy Birthday, Professor McGonagall! One of the best, if strictest, teachers at Hogwarts! We love you!

We don’t have canon as to whether she’s still Headmistress this year (2007) or if she reverted back to being transfiguration teacher/Head of Gryffindor House. The “19 Years Later” (date 2017) chapter also doesn’t mention her, so it’s good to know that she at least made it to age 82! I actually thought of her as older than mid-60s or early 70s during Harry’s years.

As a teacher with also an October birthday (mine’s on the 11th) I am thrilled that Minerva’s is today. Do you realize that the Russians launched Sputnik I on her 32nd birthday?

Happy birthday to my favorite professor. That animagus transformation is still “wicked” in my book!

I read in a JKR interview post-DH that Minerva was not the Headmistress of Hogwarts after 19 years; someone unnamed but unknown to us was given the post.

I think Minerva’s had a rough couple of years, and I’m sure she was seriously considering retirement, to spend the rest of years with her remaining limbs. I imagine her taking a quiet beach vacation in Spain, perhaps.

Dear Professor!
I wish you less schoolchildren who can raze Hogwarts to the ground! I think you understand me!
And of course I wish you new books where you play the leading parts!!!
