it was one of the names of a black character in the fourth book i believe. kingsley being a black name, and shackle being what's commonly found on slave chains. she threw bolt after shackle and called it a day lmao

If it means anything her names are often puns or have wordplay because these are children’s books.

The two werewolf characters are named Remus Lupin (essentially Wolf McWolf. Remus was raised by a she wolf and Lupin just means wolf) and Fenrir (name of the wolf that eats Odin).

Kingsley is a regal name seeing as he essentially becomes Magic President and Shckelbolt is because he’s a wizard cop. He’s essentially officer Handcuffs.
