Biography
Wallace "Wally" Thatch often thought of himself as living in the shadow of his older sister, Lindsay—not that he minded. From the moment he could walk, Lindsay had been his hero, his guide to the world of scraped knees, hidden treasures, and grand adventures. Born three years after her in 1965, Wally had a quieter disposition than his boisterous sister, but he possessed a sharp wit and an unwavering loyalty to those he loved.
Early Years
Growing up in North London with their eccentric historian father Quentin and warm, practical mother Bridget, life was never dull. Wally marveled at Lindsay’s energy and bravery. While she fearlessly climbed trees and poked at strange creatures, Wally preferred to stay a few paces behind, documenting their adventures with a small notebook. He didn’t mind being her “sidekick”—in fact, he loved it.
But Wally wasn’t without his own sense of curiosity and mischief. Inspired by Lindsay’s daring nature, he discovered he had a knack for clever tricks and puzzles. He’d spend hours devising riddles, setting up harmless pranks, or crafting intricate scavenger hunts to amuse his sister. In return, Lindsay called him her “little genius,” a title he secretly treasured.
Magic Awakens
As Wally grew, strange occurrences became a part of his life, much like they had for Lindsay. One winter, while feeling particularly frustrated with a broken kite, Wally had accidentally caused it to fly perfectly, zipping through the air with no strings attached. Another time, during a heated argument with a neighborhood bully, Wally’s words seemed to echo unnaturally, sending the older boy running in tears.
When Lindsay received her Hogwarts letter, Wally couldn’t have been prouder—or more envious. He listened intently to her stories of magical classes, enchanted feasts, and daring escapades. Each time she returned home for the holidays, she filled their small flat with tales of Hogwarts, and Wally soaked in every word.
But beneath the pride and admiration, Wally worried. Would he be good enough to follow in Lindsay’s footsteps? Would Hogwarts even want someone like him, quieter and more cautious than his fearless sister? He loved her dearly but couldn’t help feeling the pressure to live up to her larger-than-life example.
