The Harry Potter Compendium

Maria Glossop: "Hello, Harry. Do you need any Gobstones? I can swap them for something else if you'd like."
Harry Potter: "No, I don't want to swap with you."
Maria Glossop: "Well, if you change your mind I'll be here."
— Harry Potter negotiating with Maria Glossop in the Clock Tower Entrance.[src]

Maria Glossop was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s. During the 1996-1997 school year, she could usually be found in the entrance to the Clock Tower, and traded Gobstones for Chocolate Frog Cards and chess pieces.

Etymology[]

The name "Maria" is the Latin form of Greek Μαρια, from Hebrew מִרְיָם. Maria is the usual form of the name in many European languages, as well as a secondary form in other languages such as English (where the common spelling is Mary). In some countries, for example Germany, Poland and Italy, Maria is occasionally used as a masculine middle name.
