Elizabeth Burke

Elizabeth Burke was a pure-blood witch. Elizabeth was born 1553 and began attending Hogwarts at age eleven where she was sorted into Slytherin. In 1590, Elizabeth became headmistress of Hogwarts until her death in 1642 when she was 89. As headmistress, Elizabeth came close to Phineas Nigellus Black to being the least favorite head of Hogwarts as she believed in harsh punishments for disobedient children and disliked muggle-born witches and wizards.

Elizabeth's parentage is unknown, as is her husband and children, although it is known that she had at least one son.
