Cedric Diggory's mother

"He suffered very little then. And after all, Amos... he died just when he'd won the tournament. He must have been happy. You [Harry] look after yourself, now."

- Mrs Diggory

Mrs Diggory (fl. 1977-1995) was the wife of Amos Diggory and the mother of Cedric.

Early life
Mrs Diggory was born into a wizarding family of unknown blood status. She married Amos Diggory, and had a son, Cedric, in 1977. Cedric went to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Hufflepuff House.

Before the Task
"Mr Diggory looked as though he was going to say something angry, but his wife laid a hand on his arm, and he merely shrugged and turned away."

Mrs Diggory came to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1994-1995 school year to watch the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, in which her son was participating. When her husband began to argue with Molly Weasley, she managed to calm him simply by putting her hand on his arm, and allowed the Weasleys to walk peacefully away with Harry, whom Amos had been arguing about.

After the Task
"They did not blame him for what had happened; on the contrary, both thanked him for returning Cedric's body to them. Mr Diggory sobbed through most of the interview. Mrs Diggory's grief seemed to be beyond tears."

After the task, upon hearing of her son's death, she visited Harry Potter in the hospital wing. She then thanked Harry for bringing Cedric's body back, though when he offered her his Tournament winnings, she declined.

Personality and traits
She seemed to be a kind, amicable person, although we only see and hear from her briefly. She may have passed some of her better characteristics to her son, who is also described as kind and caring.

Behind the scenes

 * Mrs Diggory does not make an appearance in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Her husband's personality in the film seems to more closely match her personality than his own book counterpart.
