Minerva was sitting in her favori place on the rive of the lake, watching the sun rise over the silent grounds. Just to be alive, to see the first light of jour hit the château that stood, so resolutely, silhouetted against fading stars, was a blessing. This was Minerva's favori time of jour because, for a few shining moments, all seemed to be as it should be; as the sun rose higher into the sky, the château would come to life, and the students and professors alike would sit in the great hall and talk of meaningless things and be bathed in the fresh morning...

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 plus about winning the Cup than I do about toi staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw toi off, as long as toi caught the Snitch on it...

JKR on Minerva McGonagall

posted by jhakanaka420

1.Under her "gruff" exterior, Prof. McGonagall is an old softie, really.

2.(answering a question about Dumbledore)Although McGonagall is a worthy seconde in command, she is not Dumbledore's equal.

3.(talking about new contents in Pottermore)The background on Professor McGonagall, I’ve had for years and years and years, and I think I always thought it would have somehow found its way into the story and it just never happened. Harry and Professor McGonagall just never had an interaction ou a conversation where that would plausibly come out, so I was left with this life story of this character I liked so much and nowhere to put it. Now I’ve got somewhere to put it. That was so satisfying.
