The Fawcett Family

The Fawcett family is a Wizarding family known in the narrative primarily through one of its members, a female student who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the 1990s. The family's only known representative was sorted into Ravenclaw House. Her presence is noted during key events in the 1994-1995 school year. Their blood status, allegiance, and history remain unknown.

The Fawcett name appears exclusively in records of the 1994-1995 school year at Hogwarts.

• Triwizard Tournament Sign-ups (October 1994): The name S. Fawcett was on a list of Ravenclaw students who were old enough and intended to put their names into the Goblet of Fire for the Triwizard Tournament. This indicates that she was at least seventeen years old at the time.
• The Yule Ball (Christmas 1994): Later that year, a Miss Fawcett attended the Yule Ball. She was discovered by Professor Snape in the prize rose bushes outside the castle with Stebbins, a student from Hufflepuff. Snape accused them of “canoodling” and docked fifty points each from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, ordering them both back to their respective Common Rooms. It is presumed that S. Fawcett and Miss Fawcett are the same individual.

• S. Fawcett: The only known member of the family. She was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts during Harry Potter's fourth year. Based on her eligibility for the Triwizard Tournament, she would have been in her sixth or seventh year. The books provide no information on her physical appearance, personality, or magical skills beyond what would be expected of a student studying for their N.E.W.T.s.

• Stebbins: Miss Fawcett attended the Yule Ball with a Hufflepuff student named Stebbins. Their interaction in the rose bushes suggests a romantic connection.

The surname Fawcett is an English locational surname. It originates from several places, particularly in the historical counties of Westmorland and Yorkshire. The name is derived from the Old English words fāg, meaning 'multi-coloured' or 'dappled', and side, meaning 'hillside'.

The Fawcett family and its sole known member serve as background characters in the series, helping to create a more populated and realistic Hogwarts environment. Their minor appearances add flavour to events like the lead-up to the Triwizard Tournament and the drama of the Yule Ball. No additional information about this family has been provided in films, video games, or by J.K. Rowling.
