Dougie McConnell was the Head Gamekeeper at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the late 19th century, the predecessor of the more well-known Rubeus Hagrid. His career focused on the maintenance of the castle's vast grounds, the supervision of the Forbidden Forest, and, above all, caring for the many magical creatures that inhabited the estate. Recognized for his profound expertise in Magizoology, McConnell was also an avid Quidditch enthusiast, personally handling the preparation of the pitch before official matches. Although there are no records of formal awards or honors, his work earned him great respect from the staff and students of Hogwarts. His dedication and approach to managing magical creatures set an important precedent for his successors.
