Hestia Jones was a British witch and member of the Order of the Phoenix during the Second Wizarding War. She was part of the Advance Guard in 1995 and later escorted the Dursleys from their home to a safe location, along with Dedalus Diggle.
Physical appearance
Hestia was described as a young, black-haired woman with pink cheeks.[6]
Personality and traits
Hestia was a good, kind person who liked Harry Potter and was shocked when she learned that his uncle, aunt, and cousin did not know where he was going in 1997. She was also quite a tactful person, suggesting that Dedalus and herself should wait outside whilst Harry and the Dursleys said goodbye to each other. This shows that she did not know much about Harry's relationship with the Dursleys as well as the fact that she was quite a caring person.[7] She also appeared to be rather intelligent, cleverly seeing past the Ministry of Magic's denial of the Dark Lord's return, as well as very brave in the face of adversity, siding with Albus Dumbledore and the rest of those who had rallied to his side to oppose Lord Voldemort at a great personal risk, and despite the very real possibility that the Ministry of Magic would go out of its way to tarnish her reputation if her allegiance to Dumbledore became known outside of the Order. She was also one of the few who was unafraid to call Voldemort by his true name. In her work for the Order of the Phoenix, Hestia proved herself to be no less brave, dependable and selfless than anyone else in the Order, displaying great bravery and resilience through her participation in the war effort and an admirable selfless willingness to put her own life on the line for the sake of following through with the Order's resistance movements against the Dark Forces.
Magical abilities and skills
A member of the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix, Hestia was an accomplished witch, with sufficient ability to fulfil her duties satisfactorily and do solid work for the Order.
Duelling: Hestia was an accomplished duellist, being one of the members of the Order on rotation that were entrusted the task of guarding the entrance of the Department of Mysteries, in which capacity she was expected to prevent Death Eaters from breaking in to steal the prophecy, which would have required her to engage them in a duel if they had done so on her watch. She was also one of the volunteers that joined the participate in the escort of Harry Potter on broomsticks, hinting her ability to handle herself in combat to be good enough to do so even during mid-flight, which is noted to be no small feat. Excelling in both defensive and offensive combative magic, in a duel, Hestia would employ a rigorous methodology to her spell-casting, increasing the amount of damage she could inflict against her adversaries in combat. On the flip side, she was also rather good at defensive spell work, as she was also able to maintain a Shield Charm, even under an onslaught. These were skills that she would eventually pass on to those of the members of the then recently established Statute of Secrecy Task Force who pursued a career as an Auror.[9]
Charms: Hestia was competent and experienced with the casting of protective charms, as she was able to successfully teach trainee Aurors how to perform numerous defensive charms, most notably the Shield Charm.[9] In addition, Hestia was capable of casting a non-corporeal Patronus Charm,[5] a mark of superior magical ability and talent given the immense difficulty of casting such a powerful protective charm.
Flying: Hestia was an accomplished broomstick flyer; she was a member of the Advance Guard who escorted Harry Potter to 12 Grimmauld Place via broomstick flight.[6] Also as seen during the instance where she escorted Harry alongside her allies, Hestia was a sufficiently skilled flyer to have confidence in her ability to handle potential attacks while flying, which even fellow Order member Nymphadora Tonks, who was a trained Auror, remarked to be very difficult.[10]
