Professor Jakub Gorski was a wizard who was the visiting History of Magic Professor since 2009 at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1][2][3]
Biography
Before the 2009–2010 school year at Hogwarts, the Dark wizard Bly, in search of the Turner family's heirloom, bewitched Gorski with the Imperius Curse, and then transformed into his lemur Animagus form, disgusing himself as Gorski's animal assistant.[1]
Professor Gorski began his first lesson with second-year students with a short speech and introduced himself to them. He talked about historical artefacts and assigned the students the homework of identifying a rare object or uncovering a mystery. Throughout the school year, possibly under the instruction of Bly, he met a group of students (including Lottie Turner) several times in the castle and checked out their progress of the assignment. He also visited the Hog's Head Inn in Hogsmeade and traded with a Dark wizard, which was noticed by the students.[1]
Gorski was later confronted by the students in the History of Magic Classroom and acted very suspiciously. He tried to explain but couldn't give up Bly's name, and enchanted the suits of armour in the classroom to attack the students under Bly's control. When Bly fled, Gorski fell down to the floor. Professor McGonagall soon came and instructed the students to return to the dormitories, before which Gorski gave them a warning not to let Bly find the artefact first.[1]
After Bly was defeated by the students, Gorski handed Lottie a portrait of her father inside the container of the family heirloom, allowing the father and daughter to reunite.[1]
Gorski continued to teach at Hogwarts during the 2010–2011 school year, and could be seen maintaining the spherical shield cast around the castle when it fell under attack by Dementors and other Dark creatures.[4]
