Hengist Rawkes[1] was a wizard depicted in a portrait hanging near the first-floor landing of the Grand Staircase of Hogwarts Castle, near the portrait of a Count. His name could be read on a plaque hanging under his image.
Behind the scenes[]
- The portrait of Hengist Rawkes was based on a 1902 portrait of Thomas Lister, 4th Baron Ribblesdale, by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925).[1]
- This individual may have died sometime prior to 1991, as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals.
Etymology[]
The name "Hengist" means "stallion" in Germanic. Hengist and his brother Horsa were the leaders of the first Germanic settlers in Britain. Hengist established a kingdom in Kent in the 5th century.
