Who has an Order of Merlin?

I was wondering in my time travel fic who should receive an O.M. for helping defeat Voldemort, and reviewed canon for the existing recipients. Here are my findings:

  • Damocles Belby: for inventing the Wolfsbane Potion
  • Arcturus Black: First Class, for ‘services to the Ministry’, according to Sirius he gave them a ‘load of gold’, according to Pottermore ‘loaning the Ministry a large amount of gold’
  • Albus Dumbledore: First Class for his defeat of Grindelwald
  • Cornelius Fudge: First Class (according to Pottermore this was ‘self-awarded’)
  • Gilderoy Lockhart: Third Class
  • Peter Pettigrew: First Class
  • Newt Scamander: Second Class (Fantastic Beasts Comic Relief textbook)
  • (Severus Snape is offered a Second or First Class Order of Merlin for helping save the trio and aiding in Sirius’s arrest)
 
Recipients According to Secondary Canon
 
  • Remus Lupin: First Class (Pottermore canon)
  • Minerva McGonagall: First Class (Short Stories From Hogwarts canon)
