Craig Bowker Junior (c. 2003 - 30 October 2020) was a wizard and a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 2017 to 2020.
Biography[]
Craig Bowker Junior was born sometime around 2003. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted in Slytherin.[4][5] On 1 September 2017, he was present for the year's sorting Ceremony, and expressed his disbelief when Albus Potter was placed in his house.[4]
Upon returning to 2020 from altering the past, Scorpius Malfoy found himself in an alternate reality in which Lord Voldemort won, and went to the Hogwarts Library to research how this could have happened.[6] That universe's Craig encountered Scorpius in the library and, frightened, asked him what he was doing there. He then revealed that he was still working on the homework that his universe's Scorpius had demanded he do for him.[6]
Meanwhile, in the main timeline, Harry Potter arrived at Hogwarts with Ginny to confront his son Albus about his continuing association with Scorpius, and upon entering the Slytherin Boys' Dormitories Craig objected, noting that it was against school rules for parents and professors to enter house dormitories, but Headmistress McGonagall shushed him. They found the boys' beds empty.[5]

- — Craig's last words[src]
A short time later, Craig located Albus and Scorpius on the Quidditch pitch and informed them that the entire school was looking for them. Delphini then fired a Killing Curse at him, killing him instantly.[7]
Delphini was presumably later sent to Azkaban for this crime.[8]
