Minerva McGonagall est un personnage fictif créé par la romancière britannique J. K. Rowling. Il apparaît principalement dans la série romanesque Harry Potter et dans ses adaptations cinématographiques, ainsi que dans la série de films Les Animaux fantastiques.McGonagall grandit dans les Highlands, en Écosse. Elle se distingue rapidement en montrant des prédispositions pour la métamorphose, au point de parvenir dès son jeune âge à se transformer à volonté en animal. D'abord l'élève d'Albus Dumbledore à Poudlard, elle devient par la suite sa collègue, son amie dévouée et son bras droit. Sa faculté d'Animagus lui permet dans un premier temps d'espionner les mangemorts pour le ministère de la Magie, avant de se consacrer à temps complet à l'enseignement et à la gestion de Poudlard, aux côtés de Dumbledore.
Au moment où Harry Potter effectue sa première rentrée, McGonagall est professeur de métamorphose, directrice adjointe de l'école et directrice de la maison Gryffondor, à laquelle Potter et ses amis appartiennent. Elle fait également partie de l'Ordre du Phénix, fondé par le directeur dans l'objectif de contrer Voldemort et ses partisans.
McGonagall est particulièrement stricte, mais juste. Elle est l'un des professeurs les plus stimulants et respectés, et l'un des plus solides soutiens du héros à Poudlard, faisant figure d'intelligence, d'autorité morale et de combativité. Certaines analyses lui ont attribué le rôle de mère de substitution, malgré le fait qu'elle demeure distante, pudique et austère envers l'ensemble des protagonistes. Par ailleurs, le rapprochement entre le personnage et la déesse romaine Minerve, dont il est inspiré, est suggéré tout au long de la série.
Au cinéma, Minerva McGonagall est incarnée par Maggie Smith dans les adaptations de Harry Potter, et par Fiona Glascott dans Les Animaux fantastiques.

Harry Potter is forced to defend himself against charges of using magic while underage, and in the presence of his Muggle cousin Dudley, after the two are attacked by Dementors. The Order of the Phoenix, a secret organisation founded by Albus Dumbledore, inform the now pending expulsion Harry that the Ministry of Magic is oblivious to Lord Voldemort's return; under the Ministry's influence, The Daily Prophet has launched a smear campaign towards Harry and Dumbledore following Harry's encounter with Voldemort at the end of the previous year. This encounter had a huge psychological effect on Harry – he has nightmares not only about what happened in the graveyard but also about the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. While at the Order's headquarters, Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, mentions that Voldemort is after an object which he did not have last time.
