A Non-Canonical Character Zaphod Brock is not a character created by J.K. Rowling. The name's circulation within fan communities may stem from a misunderstanding or a conflation of names. It is possible that the name is mistaken for the canonical character Broderick Bode, an Unspeakable who worked for the Department of Mysteries. Like Bode, who was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries after an incident involving a Prophecy, the name “Zaphod Brock” is sometimes incorrectly associated with the Unspeakables. However, no character with the surname Brock is mentioned in this context or any other in the original series.
