Greta Catchlove (b. 1960) was a witch who wrote the original edition of Charm Your Own Cheese.[1] There was a portrait of Catchlove hung at Hogwarts Castle, guarding a secret shortcut between the second-floor landing of the Grand Staircase and the Entrance Hall side room. The password required to gain access to said shortcut was "Cheese Charmer".[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- An author named Gerda Curd is credited with having produced a revised edition of Charm Your Own Cheese.[3] It is possible that "Gerda Curd" is simply Catchlove's pen name.
- If she attended Hogwarts, Catchlove might have been in the same year as the Marauders, Lily Evans, and Severus Snape. If she was not, she was in the year behind them.
Etymology[]
"Greta" is a short form of Margareta. A famous bearer of this name was Swedish actress Greta Garbo (1905-1990).
