Hestia, along with Flora, was Sorted into Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven, and became members of the Slug Club during the 1996–1997 school year.[2]

They may be related to Death Eaters Alecto and Amycus Carrow.[3] She and her sister were generally quiet at Slug Club meetings, and both had a fondness for the colour green, which they wore not only as part of their House robes, but by choice, as reflected by the formal dresses they wore to the Slug Club Christmas party.

At the start of The Battle of Hogwarts she and her sister were seen departing to the Dungeons. It is unknown if she survived the battle.

Etymology[]

  • Both Carrow girls were named after Greek goddesses. As both goddesses represent good things - the hearth, flowers, spring, home, family - it may be implied that they are nice people, regardless of being Sorted into Slytherin.
