Millicent Bulstrode was a brutish Slytherin girl. When Lockhart attempted to conduct a Dueling Club class, she headlocked Hermione in spite of the âno contactâ rule. She was also able to hold down Hermione when she became a member of Umbridgeâs Inquisitorial Squad. Hermione once intended to take her form with the Polyjuice Potion as part of a plan, but she mistakenly used a hair from her cat instead.
Millicent is a name meaning âwork-strenghtâ.
Bulstrode sounds similar to âbull strideâ, which likely suggests various things about her: âsheâs bull-headed, sheâs as strong as a bull, she can straddle a bull, she strides away...â (quote)
Bonus: In Rowlingâs âOriginal Fortyâ list, she was marked as a Half-Blood. (image)
