Product Information

Ruby opened her mouth to proclaim that she was more than capable of raising Norbert all on her own when she heard a yipe as the newly hatched dragon was chasing Fang around the table. "Alright," she finally gave in because she'd be missing a dog by the end of the week with how fast Norbert grew. "But what do I do? Can't rightly go telling the professors about this." Remus Lupin: " Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by her surname only." Nymphadora Tonks: " So would you if your fool of a mother had called you Nymphadora." — Nymphadora's dislike of her own name [src] Mafalda Hopkirk · Honoria's fiancé · Mafalda Hopkirk's Ministerial Superior · Rufus Fudge · Orabella Nuttley · Chester Davies · Linderina Crane Harry ignored her as he turned and stormed from the room, slamming the door shut behind him hard enough to shake the wall. He marched angrily past his friends who had moved closer to the door to listen. Hermione tried to reach out to him, a look of worry on her face, but Ron stopped her and shook his head.

When Tonks went to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, she left her infant son in the care of his grandmother. It's unknown how she took the news of her daughter's death at the hands of her older sister, Bellatrix. One can assume that the loss of her only child was devastating. Nymphadora literally means "Gift of the Nymphs." Nymphs are nature spirits and minor deities in Greek mythology who rule trees, sacred groves, streams and the ocean, and are capable of changing their form, just like Tonks. During the Renaissance, northern Europeans equated the classical nymphs with their own legends of elves. If we therefore read "gift of the nymphs" as "gift of the elves", this echoes the ancient myth of babies stolen by elves and replaced by hideous monsters called "changelings". 'Nymph' is also the name of the "immature stage of a dragonfly or damselfly before it moults, before metamorphosing into a winged adult". All three meanings reference Tonks's metamorphosing skills. For weeks Tonks was stressed, exams were coming and she hadn't heard a single word from either McGonagall or Dumbledore, Hagrid looked cowed when she sat down at the faculty table but that she was still here boded well, right?

During Natalia's audition for the role of Tonks, she tripped over a table and chair giving the impression that she's clumsy (like Tonks). Wherein the director found her energy and humour as the very thing he's looking for, for the role of the young witch. I understand you’re upset, and you’re right. I should have listened to you.” Dumbledore admitted. “However, you’re far too important to be putting yourself at risk like that.” Tonks and Remus were married in the summer of 1997. She formed part of the Advance Guard and bravely participated in the Battle of the Seven Potters. Tonks became pregnant by this time and Remus began to worry that he had passed on his werewolf condition to their son, though this proved not to be the case as the child had inherited only Tonks's metamorphic abilities.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 5 ( An Excess of Phlegm) - "A young witch with a pale, heart-shaped face and mousy brown hair was sitting at the table clutching a large mug between her hands." It’s different,’ said Lupin, barely moving his lips and looking suddenly tense. ‘Bill will not be a full werewolf. The cases are completely –’ As Liz mentions the runaway Chimaera in the side quest "The Trouble with Tonks", it must take place in Year Four.

If this wand was her first, Nymphadora obtained it before beginning her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1984, likely from Ollivanders in Diagon Alley. Using her wand, she secured good enough marks in her O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams to become an Auror, starting her training when she left Hogwarts in 1991. [1] Putting her hands on their shoulders, she started pushing them out of the room, made difficult by the number of people still coming in. Before they could reach the door to the kitchen, Sirius stormed in, his face a mask of worry. He let out a sigh of relief when she responded to him. Clearly, she was in bad shape, and he had worried he might be too late.
