She took on Kathleen as her pen name's middle name because that was her grandmothers name, but it is not her legal name.

Do you think Madam Hooch in Harry Potter could be a lesbian?
I want to explain myself a bit... I forgot it in the context.
I would like her to be, I have always had a big crush on her, so I demand honest opinions from other people.
Physically speaking, she may look like a lesbian, with her short hair, tie, strict and stern demeanor, but unfortunately, sexual orientation cannot be judged by physical appearance or dress style. It's more complicated than that.
J.K Rowling once said in an interview that Madam Hooch doesn't have a romantic background, so you could imagine what you wanted.
We don't know much about her, we don't even know what house she was in when she studied at Hogwarts. It's a shame that all the secondary characters are the most beautiful and interesting and we hardly ever see them and we don't know anything about them ! Life is unfair !
Is there going to be anymore Harry Potter books coming out?
There were several false ones written in China a couple years ago. Other than that, no. The author has only written 7 books about Harry Potter. However, she has written some short companion-type books, such as Tales of Beadle the Bard, to which references were made in the 7 main books. I suggest going to barnesandnoble.com and searching "J.K. Rowling." Anything else you find is not canon--it is simply fan fiction. the reason they are the main seven is because there are only seven. therefore this question makes no sense whatsoever
What inspired J.K. Rowling to create Harry Potter?
