ALASTOR 'MAD EYE' MOODY

Unusual and disturbing-looking, with grizzled gray hair, a mutilated nose, and a remarkable quantity of scars, Alastor's nickname is earned by his magical eye; bright blue and constantly rolling about. Moody has the eerie ability to see through solid objects, as well as invisibility cloaks. Moody brought more Deatheaters and dark wizards to justice than anyone else, but that achievement came at a cost; his sense of security and trust of others. Indeed, he is always expecting to be assaulted, only drinks from his own hip flask, and owns numerous deceit-detecting devices and attack dustbins. :) Mad Eye was supposed to come out of retirement at the request of his old friend, Albus Dumbledore, to fill in as Harry's fourth Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Unfortunately, the real Moody never made it to Hogwarts; he was kidnapped, imprisoned in his own trunk and impersonated by Barty Crouch Jr. Crouch managed to fool everyone with polyjuice potion, and used his position of power to bring Harry to Voldemort. Crouch was eventually apprehended and given the Dementor's Kiss, and Moody was returned home, even more paranoid than he began. I was shocked and saddened when I found out it wasn't really Moody; I'd grown quite fond of him in a weird sort of way. He's easily one of my favorite characters. Fortunately, we got to meet the real Moody during Harry's 5th year. Mad-Eye has taken up his post as a major member of the Order of the Phoenix, keeping an eye (harr-yuk...) on security especially. He wrangled up an intricate plan to transport Harry to Hogwarts, which eventually ended up being shortened, as it would have taken them all summer to get there had they followed it. Gotta love Moody.

"Moody gave a harsh laugh, and his magical eye swivelled around so fast it made Harry feel queasy to watch it. 'So... got any ideas how you're going to get past your dragon yet?' said Moody. 'No,' said Harry. 'Well, I'm not going to tell you,' said Moody gruffly. 'I don't show favoritism, me. I'm just going to give you some good, general advice. And the first bit is- play to your strengths.' 'I haven't got any,' said Harry, before he could stop himself. 'Excuse me,' growled Moody, 'you've got strengths if I say you've got them.'" GoF, pg 301
