Knight, Julian

Julian Patrick Knight (born April 27, 1992) is a Pure-Blood Irish wizard attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and a member of the well-known Knight family. Julian was born in Longford, Ireland in 1992 and has lived there for his entire life.

Before attending Hogwarts, Julian attended the Ossianic School for Young Mages, a private primary school for the children of Ireland's elite magical families. During his time at the Ossianic School, Julian developed a reputation for being an incredibly curious and precocious boy, but also for running afoul of teachers and administrators at the obstinately traditional preparatory school. In May 1997 Julian was awarded the Fingal the Fearless Exemplary Young Pupil Award, named after the legendary Irish Wizard, for his high marks. Julian's final years at the school coincided with the final years of the Second Wizarding War, during which the school adopted a notably and heavily-scrutinized neutral stance, which some critics have since argued was tantamount to tacit approval of You-Know-Who's Ministry. On October 17, 1997 Julian was expelled from the Ossianic School for Young Mages after his repeated outbursts against the (alleged) involvement of certain members of faculty in the Second Wizarding War.

During his first year at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw House for his intense curiosity and thirst for learning. Julian proved to be brilliant academically, excelling in all of his classes at Hogwarts from his very first year. Many of Julian's classmates found him to be annoying and condescending because of his attitudes toward school, and his constant desire to prove his intelligence to those around him. Julian found a small concentric group of friends with whom he would spend most of his time, rather than try to win over people who he felt didn't 'get' him.

In his Third Year, Julian was named the starting Seeker of the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team.
