Professor McGonagall is described as being tall, severe-looking, and has dark hair usually tied up in a bun. It is never mentioned in the series if McGonagall ever married or had children. She was raised in Scotland, the eldest of three children born to a witch mother and a Muggle father, a Presbyterian minister. Being Scottish, she often wears tartan.
 
McGonagall attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor House. She was an exceptional student, particularly in Transfiguration, studying under [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Albus Dumbledore]]. After graduation, she worked for the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] for several years, then declined a big promotion to instead teach at Hogwarts, staying there for the remainder of her career. According to the author, Minerva McGonagall's birthday is 4 October, and she is about seventy- years- old when the series begins.

As they discuss the recent events that have brought Harry there, McGonagall unsuccessfully argues against Dumbledore leaving the infant with his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Petunia Dursley|aunt]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vernon Dursley|uncle]], calling them, "the very worst sort of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle|Muggles]]." McGonagall also suggests that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] might not have been the best choice to carry the infant Harry from his now-destroyed home in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Godric's Hollow|Godric's Hollow]].
 
Ten years later, McGonagall greets the first-years at the school's entrance and escorts them into the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony. Harry quickly realizes she is the wrong person to ever cross. However, he nearly does just that when he is almost late to his first Transfiguration lesson.
 
At breakfast in the Great Hall some days later, McGonagall stops a confrontation that would have pitted [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] and his cronies against Harry, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville Longbottom]].

In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gilderoy Lockhart|Professor Lockhart's]] office, Professor Dumbledore examines Mrs. Norris and determines she is only petrified, not dead. When Filch demands that someone be punished, Snape says that he believes Harry knows more than he is telling and suggests suspending him from Quidditch. McGonagall refuses to accept such severe punishment, and Dumbledore reminds Snape that Harry is innocent until proven guilty.
 
When [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Justin Finch-Fletchley|Justin Finch-Fletchley]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nearly Headless Nick|Nearly Headless Nick]] are found petrified, Professor McGonagall escorts Harry to Professor Dumbledore's office, then leaves, allowing Harry and Dumbledore to speak privately.

Professor McGonagall cancels a Quidditch match after Hermione and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Penelope Clearwater|Penelope Clearwater]] are found petrified. She takes Harry and Ron to see Hermione in the hospital wing, and asks if they know anything about what has been happening; they are unable to answer. She informs the Gryffindors that security restrictions have been enacted.
 
Ignoring the restrictions, Harry and Ron sneak off to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Moaning Myrtle|Moaning Myrtle's]] bathroom where they suspect the Chamber of Secret's entrance is hidden. When they encounter McGonagall along the way, Harry claims they were going to visit Hermione in the infirmary. Touched by this apparent concern for their friend, McGonagall allows them to continue, only now they must actually visit Hermione. In her petrified hand, they discover a clue revealing the Chamber's secret. While waiting in the staff room to tell McGonagall what they have found, an announcement orders all students to their Common room. As the teachers enter the staff room, Harry and Ron hide in a closet.

Following Harry's unpleasant encounter with a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementor]] on the Hogwarts Express, Professor McGonagall takes him and Hermione into her office.

Professor McGonagall suggests he rest, but Harry insists he is fine and requests permission to attend the Welcome Feast. McGonagall consents but asks to speak privately with Hermione. Harry does not discover why until later.
 
During Transfiguration class, McGonagall lectures about [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|Animagi]] and is surprised that students fail to react when she transforms herself into a cat. When told that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sybill Trelawney|Professor Trelawney]] had predicted a student will die soon, she seems to have to restrain herself from criticizing another teacher or subject, but she reassures them by saying that Trelawney predicts a student's death every year and none have yet died.
 
When Harry asks McGonagall if he can go to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogsmeade|Hogsmeade]] for the weekend outing, despite lacking written permission from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vernon Dursley|Uncle Vernon]], McGonagall refuses.

He also learns the circumstances surrounding Black's arrest and later conviction.
 
When Hermione informs McGonagall that Harry received an expensive [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Brooms|Firebolt]] broom from an unknown person for Christmas, McGonagall confiscates it, saying that Professor Flitwick and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rolanda Hooch|Madam Hooch]] will inspect it for any concealed Dark Magic.
 
After several months, and much nagging by Gryffindor Quidditch captain [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Oliver Wood|Oliver Wood]], Professor McGonagall returns the Firebolt, saying it is believed to be clean. Harry flies a marvelous match on it,. The match is marred only by apparent Dementors arriving on the pitch, though theyHarry is able to defend himself from them by use of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expecto Patronum|Patronus charm]] that he has learned.

As the returning students enter the entrance hall, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peeves|Peeves]] welcomes them with water balloons. Professor McGonagall orders him out. At the Arrival Feast, when Dumbledore announces that the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Triwizard Tournament|Triwizard Tournament]] is being revived, Fred Weasley is heard to exclaim, "You're joking!"

When [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] attempts to Curse Harry, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Professor Moody]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Transfiguration|Transfigures]] him into a white ferret, bouncing him in the air a few times, much to Harry's and Ron's amusement. Professor McGonagall, arriving on the scene, forcefully warns Moody that transfiguration is never used as punishment, and transforms Draco back. McGonagall then tells Moody that he must instead talk to [[Muggles'Professor Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Snape]], head of Slytherin. Moody heads off to the dungeons with Draco.

When the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Goblet of Fire|Goblet of Fire]] unexpectedly chooses Harry as a fourth Triwizard Champion, he and the other three Champions meet with the competition judges: Professor Dumbledore, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Igor Karkaroff|Professor Karkaroff]] of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Durmstrang Institute|Durmstrang]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Olympe Maxime|Madame Maxime]] of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Beauxbatons Academy of Magic|Beauxbatons]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Mr. Crouch]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ludovic Bagman|Ludo Bagman]] from the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]]. Professor McGonagall is present, as are Professor Snape and Professor Moody. McGonagall's contribution is limited; when it is suggested that Professor Dumbledore had drawn the age line incorrectly, allowing an underage Harry to enter his own name, McGonagall declares loyally that Dumbledore could not have made a mistake.
 
McGonagall, appearing tense and somewhat on edge, escorts Harry to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dragon|dragon]] enclosure for the first task, leaving him there with the other Champions.
 
During Transfiguration class shortly after the First Task, Professor McGonagall announces that a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Yule Ball|Yule Ball]] is part of the Triwizard Tournament. Fourth-year and above will be allowed to attend, as will younger students as their guests. McGonagall privately tells Harry that the Champions and their partners traditionally lead the way into the Ball and to have the first dance. Harry is shocked: he has only a month to find a date, learn to dance, and prepare to lead the schools into the ball.
 
At the Ball, McGonagall takes the four Champions aside to say they will be entering in procession after the other students are seated.

McGonagall wants to send Harry to the Hospital Wing, but Dumbledore overrules her, saying that Harry needs to know what has happened and why. Dumbledore sends McGonagall to fetch a large black dog waiting in Hagrid's pumpkin patch and take it to his office.

While we never see her in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Tower Battle (Hogwarts)|battle with the Death Eaters]], she is in the Hospital Wing after Dumbledore's death while they figure out what had happened. She is so shocked upon hearing that Dumbledore was killed by Snape, that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Poppy Pomfrey|Madam Pomfrey]] conjures her a chair. She said that Dumbledore had always said he trusted Snape, for good reason.

Harry demurs, saying that he had been instructed to keep their activities secret, and Dumbledore had not said he should stop following his orders if he died. McGonagall and the other teachers decide the school should remain open, but McGonagall asks if the students should be sent home early.

It seems surprising that McGonagall, acting Headmistress following Dumbledore's demise in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], and Deputy Headmistress since the series' beginning, was not made Headmistress; however, given Voldemort's interest in Hogwarts, it was probable that only a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eater]] would receive the post, thus making Severus Snape's appointment as Headmaster logical.
 
Professor McGonagall remains unseen until the book's conclusion. McGonagall is called upon to unlock the Ravenclaw common room for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Amycus Carrow|Amycus Carrow]], as the way to open the common room door is to answer a philosophical question posed by the eagle-head door knocker, and Amycus is unable to answer it.

Snape breaks and runs when Flitwick and Sprout, followed by Slughorn, approach, and Snape crashes through a window, soaring away.
 
McGonagall orders the castle to prepare for battle as. Harry, returning to the Room of Requirement, is unable to find Ron and Hermione. He heads to the Great Hall, hoping they will be among the other students gathering there. McGonagall informs the school that Professor Snape has "resigned," resulting in cheers from all but Slytherin. Underage students are to be evacuated, along with any older students wishing to leave. Voldemort's booming voice interrupts her, stating that if Harry is turned over, no one will be harmed, otherwise, at midnight, he will be forcefully taken.

McGonagall is a highly intelligent and powerful witch, particularly adept at Transfiguration. Although a strict teacher, she has her students' respect. Despite her discipline often being severe, it is always fair and even-handed, nor does she show favoritism to her own House, several times deleting points from any misbehaving Gryffindor student. Professor McGonagall possesses a tender side, but she takes pains to conceal it, and always considers the students' welfare to be her most important vocation, but she takes pains to conceal it.

== Relationships with Other Characters ==
 
It is hard to imagine the stern and staid Professor McGonagall "letting her hair down" to any great extent, which makes it difficult to imagine that she has many close relationships. However, she enjoys a warm friendship with Albus Dumbledore, and seems on friendly terms with the other Hogwarts teachers, including Severus Snape (up until Dumbledore's death) and Professor Slughorn, who becomes head of Slytherin. Also, her concern for Harry's well-being seems to merit more than would be the result of his merely being a student in her House, or even his potential to cause Voldemort's final downfall.
 
The author has revealed on Pottermore.com, that the young McGonagall fell in love with a handsome Muggle, Dougal McGregor.

This factored into McGonagall's decision to end the relationship with McGregor. McGonagall later had another suitor, her former Ministry boss, Elphinstone Urqhuart, whose many marriage proposals she continually declined throughout the years until much later in life, and then only after her first love, Dougal, had died. Their marriage was happy but short-lived, ending just three years later when Elphinstone was fatally bitten by a venomous tentacula plant. McGonagall had kept her maiden name when she married.
