Arabella Doreen Figg, a fictional character from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, is a Squib, meaning she was born to magical parents but is not a witch. She lives on Wisteria Walk in Little Whinging, Surrey, which is next to the street where Harry Potter lives with his aunt and uncle. She was in the Order of the Phoenix when Voldemort was in power the first time and, since then, has kept an eye on Harry. She often served as Harry's sitter, although never revealing her true identity until Harry and Dudley are attacked by Dementors in the Order of the Phoenix. Mrs. Figg is described as an eccentric woman in tartan carpet slippers and a housecoat who owns multiple cats (probably part Kneazles). The cat/Kneazles help Mrs. Figg keep an eye on Harry.Mrs. Figg assists Harry by showing up at his Ministry of Magic disciplinary hearing in the Order of the Phoenix. She served as a witness to the Dementor attack and gave evidence, although the book implies she was not able to see the Dementors. Her evidence is crucial to Harry's acquittal.In the Order of the Phoenix movie, the role of Mrs. Figg is played by Kathryn Hunter. Show less «
