The three sisters of the up-to-then Muggle family didn't always see eye to eye. One took her newfound magic to do something meaningful, the other used it to fetch her slippers. The third one tried to be the mediator, but never really managed to accomplish a truce.

The Hobdays has always trotted on the light side of magic. Aurors, Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, and Healers have all carried the name with proud and grace. Down to earth, and not in pompous in the least, the Hobdays are some of the most likable witches and wizards in Britain.

The surname Phelps have come to be associated with witches and wizards who do things a little bit differently than the rest. Jokers, oddballs and down-right strange is some of the words that people have used to describe this family.

The Smethwyck family is full of excellent fliers, Ministry personnel, and skilled potioneers. But not even though some of the family's members rose to fame within the wizarding community, not all fared so well.

The Whisp family has always been a whimsy one. The name has all sorts of wizards and witches under its flag, from Quidditch historians, to Azkaban prisoners. And it all started with an orphaned Muggle-born wizard from Scotland.
