Wizarding Biographies
Karley Adney, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English, UW-Marathon County:
Headmistress Karley is a former head of Slytherin House and was a Slytherin herself while attending Hogwarts.

Her favorite subjects include Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, and Potions. She is a regular customer at Flourish and Blotts, Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor (for the Rocky Road ice cream), and is always checking Madam Malkins for the latest fashions. Her husband helps develop new flavors for Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and works at Gringotts.
