Madam OLYMPE MAXIME
An
incredibly large, but unmistakably elegant lady, Madame Maxime
is the headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy, located in France.
She wears her black hair in an elegant knot, and is adorned with
many opals. She has an intimidating air about her, both because
of her remarkable size and commanding presence: her students stand
at attention when she enters the dining hall, and her coach is
pulled by enormous licquor-drinking winged horses. It is possibly
these horses that first caught the eye of Hogwarts groundskeeper
Rubeus Hagrid....
Hagrid takes great pains to try and woo Olympe. He dons a horrible
furry suit, overpowering cologne, and attempts to comb his hair.
He even shows her the dragons for the 1st Triwizard Task. His
efforts seemed to be paying off, until he assumed she was a half-giant
like himself. Quite offended, she insists she has "big bones."
They eventually become close, and she journeys with him to attempt
to convince the giants to join Dumbledore. Their attempt is not
successful, and she and Hagrid part on good terms.

"...Dumbledore
was waltzing with Madame Maxime. He was so dwarfed by her that
the top of his pointed hat barely tickled her chin; however,
she moved very gracefully for a woman so large. "
