“‘All right,’ [Uncle Vernon] said, stopping in front of Harry yet again. ‘All right, let’s say for the sake of argument, we accept this protection. I still don’s see why we can’t have that Kingsley bloke.’

“Harry managed not to roll his eyes, but with difficulty. This question had also been addressed half a dozen times.

“‘As I’ve told you,’ he said through gritted teeth, ‘Kingsley is protecting the Mug—I mean, your Prime Minister.’

“‘Exactly—he’s the best!’ said Uncle Vernon, pointing at the blank television screen. The Dursleys had spotted Kingsley on the news, walking along discreetly behind the Muggle Prime Minister as he visited a hospital. This, and the fact that Kingsley had mastered the knack of dressing like a Muggle, not to mention a certain reassuring something in his slow, deep voice, had caused the Dursleys to take to Kingsley in a way that they had certainly not done with any other wizard, although it was true that they had never seen him with his earring in.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The final block! Can you believe we’re actually here? I hope you’ve enjoyed making the blocks for the Order of the Phoenix C2C Crochet Afghan so far. Kingsley Shacklebolt takes the final spot in our blanket. Kingsley is another Auror, or dark wizard catcher, working for the Ministry of Magic. He has a deep, reassuring voice which inspires confidence in wizards and Muggles alike. Even Vernon Dursley, Harry Potter’s Muggle uncle, takes to Kingsley and regrets that he could not be one of the wizards escorting his family to safety.

Kingsley Shacklebolt is known to be a proficient wizard and is there for all the major battles leading up to Voldemort’s demise. Harry Potter first meets Kingsley Shacklebolt when he joins the group escorting Harry to Grimmauld Place—the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix—from the Dursley’s home. Kingsley leads the hunt for Sirius Black, misdirecting the Ministry of Magic as needed, he fights at the Ministry when Harry Voldemort lures Harry there, and he fights in the Battle of Hogwarts. He is later confirmed as the Minster of Magic.
