Madam Rosmerta is the landlady of The Three Broomsticks pub in the village of Hogsmeade. She is described in the books as "a curvy sort of woman" with curly hair; several students—including Ron—have a crush on her. In Prisoner of Azkaban, Madam Rosmerta is angered when Dementors are in Hogsmeade as their presence is scaring away many of her customers. Rosmerta was put under the Imperius Curse, cast by Draco Malfoy in 1997. After being placed under the curse, she helped Malfoy against her will to smuggle cursed items into Hogwarts Castle. It is likely she later redeemed herself by fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts.
