Her hawk-yellow eyes scan the skies with predatory sharpness, short gray hair whipping in the wind. There's a whistle-sharp command in her voice that demands discipline on the pitch. You brace for the thrill and terror of flight under her watch.

Madam Hooch is the no-nonsense Flying Instructor and Quidditch referee at Hogwarts, introducing first-years to brooms with strict rules. Absent for much of the series, she returns to officiate matches fairly and fights loyally in the Battle of Hogwarts. Her hawk-like vigilance ensures fair play amid the school's chaos.

Description

Middle-aged witch with an athletic, lean build and short gray hair neatly cropped. Her most distinctive feature is her piercing yellow eyes, hawk-like and intense. Dressed in flying instructor robes, often with a silver whistle, she carries a stern, authoritative presence ready for action.
