15、布丽姬特·温洛克(Bridget Wenlock)

　　布丽姬特·温洛克（Bridget Wenlock 1202—1286)是十三世纪的一位著名算数占卜师，是第一个发现数字7有神秘魔力的人。她生于康沃尔的丁沃斯，于1213-1220年在赫奇帕奇学习。

　　根据米兰达·戈沙克所说（出自《魔法书：咒语之书》），温洛克像很多魔法研究人员一样，很注重保护她的发现，这使得她写字总是用隐形药水，而且上下前后颠倒。然而，她又是个心不在焉的人，总是把她用隐形墨水写下说明和演算的纸当废纸丢了，于是她把遇到的废纸都用显形咒检查一下的场景并不少见。
　　温洛克在某天早饭的时候用她常用的隐形墨水写下了关于7的魔法属性的突破性理论，她以为她写在一封信封的背面。然而她后来竟用这个信封给她的表亲寄信。她意识到用错了信封后，立即骑着扫帚去追赶猫头鹰，可是猫头鹰不肯把信交给除了它要送去的地址以外的任何人，于是温洛克只好跟着猫头鹰到了她600英里以外的表亲家。可对信封用了显形咒后，她才发现她其实是把演算写在了糖的包装袋上，而包装袋还好好的待在她的餐桌上。
　　温洛克死于1286年，享年84岁。因为她在算数占卜上的成就，她成为了巧克力蛙卡片成员之一。

　　在Pottermore赫奇帕奇的欢迎信里提到，三年级的加布里埃尔·杜鲁门和当时的一个拉文克劳级长进行了一场决斗，因为后者说温洛克是拉文克劳的。结果，斯普劳特教授并没有让他关一个星期禁闭，只是给了他一个警告，还送给他和一盒椰子冰糕。

　　在视频游戏中，霍格沃茨的七楼走廊中挂着温洛克的画像，后面有一条通往画像室的秘密通道，口令为“Snafflejack”。八楼的胖妇人走廊里则有一尊她的半身像。

　　【Wonderbook-Book of Spells中有关布丽姬特·温洛克的原文（Chapter2）】
Many magical researchers use invisible ink to hide their work from rivals, so the Revealing Charm is essential for serious scholars. Famous arithmancer Bridget Wenlock was so protective of her discoveries that she wrote exclusively in invisible ink, not to mention writing upside down, back-to-front and in atrocious handwriting. Wenlock was famous for her absent-mindedness as well as her paranoia, and would often jot notes in invisible ink on scraps of paper, before promptly losing them. She could frequently be seen retracing her steps through her hometown of Tinworth attempting to use the Revealing Charm on every scrap of paper she came across in search of a lost arithmancy calculation.
Wenlock first scribbles down her ground-breaking theorem on the magical properties of the number seven at breakfast one day apparently on the back of the envelope, using her usual invisible ink. She then proceeded to send her cousin a letter using what she later believed to be the very envelope concealing the theorem. Soon realising her mistake, Wenlock seized her broom and managed to overtake the owl carrying the letter in mid-flight. The pair engaged in a fierce mid-air tussle as Wenlock tried to recover the envelope. (Post office owls take mail-tampering very seriously and will refuse to give up their deliveries to anyone but the addressee). After suffering several nips and scratches, Wenlock resorted to following the owl to her cousin's house in John O'Groats. But after finally retrieving the envelope from her bemused cousin, her Revealing Charm revealed nothing but a cake recipe which she had jotted down that morning. She later found the real calculation, scrawled on a sugar packet still sitting on her kitchen table.
