The Harry Potter Compendium

Hamish Buchanan was one of Angus Buchanan's two older brothers.

He enjoyed a good relationship with Angus, and he was all very fond of him. Since Mr Buchanan senior was highly prejudiced against Squibs (which he regarded as a severe anomaly and a sign the family was in decline), Hamish and his siblings covered up for Angus in front of his parents. On 1 September, 1858, it was supposedly the appointed day for Angus to start at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hamish took him to the Castle on the back of his broomstick, hoping against desperate hope that the faculty would allow him to stay once he got there, or that the school would tease some magic out of him.[1]
