His existence is not recorded in the original seven novels; he is known exclusively from a [[Famous Witches and Wizards Card]] created for supplementary materials. =====Biography===== Almost nothing is known about the life of Barnabus Finkley, including his birth and death dates, blood status, or his years at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]]. His entire known historical significance stems from a single, notable achievement. At an unknown point in [[wizarding history]], Finkley competed in and won the All-England Wizarding Duelling Competition. This victory granted him a degree of fame, sufficient to be featured on a [[Famous Witches and Wizards Card]]. =====Physical Appearance and Personality===== Finkley's physical appearance and personality traits are unknown. =====Magical Abilities and Skills===== * **Duelling:** Finkley was an exceptionally skilled duellist, capable enough to win a national competition. His victory suggests a high degree of magical proficiency, creativity, and adaptability in combat situations. * **Charm-Work:** He was particularly adept with Charms, having used one to great effect in a duelling context. His signature [[spell]] was a [[Cheese-Blasting Charm]], a highly unusual choice for a duel that demonstrates his imaginative and unorthodox approach to [[magic]]. =====Possessions===== While he must have owned a [[wand]], no details regarding its wood, core, or length are known. =====Relationships===== There is no information available regarding Barnabus Finkley's family, friends, or any other personal relationships. =====Etymology===== * **Barnabus:** This name is a variant of Barnabas, an early Christian figure from the New Testament whose name means "son of encouragement" in Aramaic. * **Finkley:** This is an English surname, likely of locational origin. The name itself does not have an obvious magical connotation. =====Behind the Scenes===== Barnabus Finkley is not mentioned in the seven original //Harry Potter// novels by J.K. Rowling. His character originates from a [[Famous Witches and Wizards Card]] included in the //Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets// video game (video game). The card's text reads: "//Barnabus Finkley is famous for winning the All-England Wizarding Duelling Competition with a Cheese-Blasting Charm.//" The humorous and absurd nature of his achievement—winning a serious competition with a seemingly trivial or domestic [[spell]]—is in keeping with the whimsical aspects of the [[wizarding world]].
