Minerva McGonagall is someone we all have learned to amor and respect throughout the HP series.Also in the wizarding world she commands almost unanimous respect.

Here are some words o actions por other characters that describe how they feel about her.


Oliver Wood
Bad news, Harry. I've just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She - er - got a bit shirty with me. Told me I'd got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared más about winning the Cup than I do about tu staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw tu off, as long as tu caught the Snitch on it first. Honestly, the way she was yelling at me ... you'd think I'd dicho something terrible.

Poppy Pomfrey
'She's not here, Potter,' dicho Madam Pomfrey sadly. 'She was transferred to St. Mungo's this morning. Four Stunning Spells straight to the chest at her age? It's a wonder they didn't kill her.'(OOTP)

'I don't wonder you're shocked, Potter,' dicho Madam Pomfrey, with a kind of fierce approval in her face. 'As if one of them could have Stunned Minerva McGonagall face-on por daylight! Cowardice, that's what it was ... despicable cowardice ... if I wasn't worried what would happen to tu students without me, I'd resign in protest.'(OOTP)


Dolores Umbridge
'Aha! shrieked Professor Umbridge, pointing a stubby linger at McGonagall. 'Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Of course! That's what tu want, isn't it, Minerva McGonagall? tu want Cornelius dulce de azúcar, fudge replaced por Albus Dumbledore! tu think you'll be where I am, don't you: Senior Undersecretary to the Minister and Headmistress to boot!'

Rubeus Hagrid
(after 4 stunners hit her)'COWARDS!' bellowed Hagrid; his voice carried clearly to the parte superior, arriba of the tower, and several lights flickered back on inside the castle. 'RUDDY COWARDS! HAVE SOME O' THAT-- AN' THAT--'
'Oh my--' gasped Hermione.
Hagrid took two massive swipes at his closest attackers; judging por their immediate collapse, they had been knocked cold.(OOTP)

Albus Dumbledore
'My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him por his name.'(PS)

'What happened?' dicho Dumbledore sharply, looking from dulce de azúcar, fudge to Professor McGonagall. 'Why are tu disturbing these people? Minerva, I'm surprised at tu – I asked tu to stand guard over Barty Crouch –'(GOF)

(refusing her help to fight the aurors) 'Oh yes he will, Minerva!' dicho Dumbledore sharply. 'Hogwarts needs you!'(OOTP)

Hermione Granger
(facing a boggart in DADA exam) 'P-P-Professor McGonagall! Hermione gasped, pointing into the trunk.Sh-she dicho I'd failed everything!'(POA)

(after Umbridge and aurors stun her)... but poor Professor McGonagall ... four Stunners straight in the chest and she's not exactly young, is she?'


Ronald Weasley
'Oh, I can't wait to see McGonagall inspected,' dicho Ron happily. 'Umbridge won't know what's hit her.'(OOTP)


Harry Potter
She had a very stern face and Harry's first thought was that she was not someone to cross.(PS)

Professor McGonagall had a way of making him [Harry] feel he must have done something wrong.(POA)

'I need to see Professor McGonagall,' gasped Harry, the breath tearing his lungs. 'Now ... it's urgent!'...'She's ... gone?' dicho Harry, shocked...The campana rang just outside the dormitory and he heard the usual distant rumbling of students starting to flood out into the corridors above and below him. He remained quite still, looking at Madam Pomfrey. Terror was rising inside him.

There was nobody left to tell. Dumbledore had gone, Hagrid had gone, but he had always expected Professor McGonagall to be there, irascible and inflexible, perhaps, but always dependably, solidly present ...(OOTP)

('Clearly, it was very important for tu to talk to somebody. Was it Albus Dumbledore? o the half-breed, Hagrid? I doubt it was Minerva McGonagall, I hear she is still too ill to talk to anyone.'Malfoy and a few of the other members of the Inquisitorial Squad laughed some más at that.) Harry found he was so full of rage and hatred he was shaking.(OOTP)

Beneath the disbelief and anger, Harry head a little strain of pride in her voice, and affection for Minerva McGonagall gushed up inside him.(DH)

(after Amycus spat at her) Harry pulled the capa off himself, raised his wand, and said, "You shouldn't have done that.

As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, "Crucio!"

(simply stating the reason why Harry Crucioed Amycus) "He spat at you"(DH)


Professor McGonagall moved faster than Harry could have believed.(DH)

The scream was the más terrible because he had never expected o dreamed that Professor McGonagall could make such a sound.(DH)
