ShortStoriesfromHogwartsofHeroism,HardshipandDangerousHobbies

J.K. Rowling writes, "Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors and wisdom. William McGonagall is celebrated as the worst poet in British history. There was something irresistible to me about his name, and the idea that such a brilliant woman might be a distant relative of the buffoonish McGonagall."

Pottermore Presents is a collection of J.K. Rowling's writing from the Pottermore archive.
