Professor Concordia Rowle was Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry between 200 and 2006. She was succeeded by Isaac Fraiser.
Concordia was born into the Rowle family. During her life, she grew to develop a healthy interest in and respect for the history and culture of Muggles, believing its study would make witches and wizards more tolerant and open-minded.
She noted that while her subject might not contain all that of which could be expected from others, it would prove to be among the most valuable, and imparted her ideals of a more inclusive world where magical and non-magical people were regarded as equals. Her subsequent classes would cover many topics about Muggles, and often involved testing the students' knowledge of facts about the non-magical world.
A progressive and scholarly witch, Concordia was noted to be vehemently opposed to the ideals of pure-blood- and wizarding supremacy, believing that all humans were of the same worth regardless of whether they had magical ability or not. Professor Rowle displayed enthusiasm for her own subject, as well as strong and passionate views about the importance of Muggle Studies in the everyday lives of wizardkind. Convinced that its study were essential to fostering of understanding and tolerance in the wizarding world, and set on passing said perspective on to her students, Concordia was a very prudent and scholarly-minded educator whose curriculum was centred around Muggle history and culture, as well as imparting practical knowledge regarding Muggle-wizard relations, with her lessons including but not limited to topics such as the dress guidelines of the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, what Ministry agency were tasked with liaising with Muggles, and associated wizarding law.
