Bertha Jorkins (1950s - 1994) was a witch and Ministry of Magic employee who worked in the Department of Magical Games and Sports before her death.

Physical description
Bertha was a slightly plump woman.[5]

Personality and traits
Bertha was a very gossipy and nosy woman, though she was not very bright, which in Sirius Black's opinion, was not a very good combination.[4] She was displeased with the mistreatment she received from her schoolmates despite her nosiness being the cause of their motive.[5] Even in adulthood, her intelligence did not improve much, as upon discovering Barty Crouch Jnr still alive and hidden from the world, she confronted Crouch Snr instead of leaving to report to the Ministry which caused him to strike her with a Memory Charm.
This ultimately became her downfall, as upon seeing the still alive Peter Pettigrew, she easily fell into his trap (which Sirius stated was a high possibility due to her poor personality combination) by accepting his proposal to take a stroll instead of reporting him, thus leading to her capture and delivery to Voldemort's clutches.[6]
After being struck by Crouch's intensive Memory Charm, Bertha's short term memory was permanently compromised, leading others to see as a new trait of forgetfulness that nobody questioned about.[3][6] When Voldemort tortured her extensively to break the Memory Charm, it left her damaged beyond repair, physically and mentally,[8] though Pettigrew believed she was still fit enough to have her memories modified again and sent back to the Ministry to avoid suspicions.[7]
Upon her brief return to the mortal realm, Bertha was supportive of Harry Potter, as she moved to haunt Voldemort in order to give Harry time to escape.[8]
