Meri here: Well some of these mentioned wizards (Adalbert Waffling, 
Newt Scammander) are authors of some of Harry's textbooks. You can 
actually buy Scammander's book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find 
Them. Cliodna, Agrippa, Morgan Le Fay and Heingst of Woodcroft are 
on the chocolate frogs that Harry gets on his very first Hogwarts 
Express ride, Uric the Oddball is learned about in one deadly dull 
Hisory of Magic lesson or another, and as for the others, the Which 
Wizard list on the Harry Potter Lexicon should clear up whether or 
not we've heard of them in cannon before. Hope this helps.

as a bookmark during her college government classes.
