Eldred Worple

Eldred Worple is a wizard and writer who was once a favourite student of Horace Slughorn. He studied vampires, even becoming friends with one named Sanguini, and wrote Blood Brothers: My Life Amongst the Vampires. Worple was described as "small, stout, [and] bespectacled."

In 1996, Worple attended a Slug Club Christmas party at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and brought Sanguini as a guest. There, Professor Slughorn introduced them to Harry Potter. Worple tried to convince Harry to let him write his biography, but Harry declined, and quickly went to speak to his friend Hermione Granger. Worple also tried to distract Sanguini from some young women's necks by shoving a pasty in his mouth.

Eldred Worple was portrayed by English actor, Paul Ritter in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
