Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall is a fictional character in J.K.
Rowling's Harry Potter series—the stern but fair Transfiguration professor and head of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Her name has become shorthand for a particular type of teacher: strict, intimidating, but ultimately protective of her students.
She gave me a real McGonagall look when I tried to make excuses.
