Professor Profile: Karen Gosse

Karen Gosse is a 63-year-old witch who, at age 18, married a muggle dentist six years her senior and has never looked back. She has been teaching at Hogwarts since her mid-twenties, when she discovered she would be unable to have children. Karen had always wanted to surround herself with young people, and found that teaching at Hogwarts allowed her to fill that void. Karen in muggle-born, so it was only natural for her to have a working knowledge that could be put to use as the muggle studies professor. Karen is a bookish woman and wears horn-rimmed glasses that are permanently perched on the tip of her nose or hanging from a necklace of small colored beads around her neck. She is a kindly teacher who sometimes ends up being taken advantage of because of her soft spot for her students.
