[edit] Overview
Madam Rosmerta is "a curvy sort of woman with a pretty face", the owner of The Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.
[edit] Role in the Books
[edit] Prisoner of Azkaban
Madam Rosmerta is first mentioned by name when Harry escapes from Hogwarts to join Ron and Hermione in Hogsmeade. Here, she acts as a foil: the adults who are in the know are filling her in on why there are Dementors running around the village and ruining her business, and Harry is listening in. This allows Harry to receive the understood back-story about Sirius Black.

[edit] Order of the Phoenix
Perhaps curiously, we do not see Madam Rosmerta in the Three Broomsticks when Harry is there being interviewed by Rita Skeeter. As Harry is then banned from all further Hogsmeade weekends by Umbridge, we do not see Madam Rosmerta in this book.
[edit] Half-Blood Prince
Rosmerta greeted Harry and Dumbledore when they secretly left Hogwarts to find Voldemort's Horcrux. When they came back, she warned them of the Dark Mark above Hogwarts, and lent them brooms to get there. When they did, Dumbledore immobolized Harry when they heard Malfoy's Expelliarmus spell. Dumbledore questioned how Malfoy knew when they left the castle, and then realized that it was Rosmerta, being under the Imperius charm, that told him.

[edit] Relationships with Other Characters
Ron seems to have a bit of a crush on Madam Rosmerta; perhaps he just likes her shape. He is well aware that she is literally old enough to be his mother; in fact, Madam Rosmerta was tending bar at the Three Broomsticks when Harry's father was at Hogwarts.
