Herbert Beery

Herbert Beery was a professor of Herbology at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when Albus Dumbledore was a young Transfiguration professor. An enthusiastic devotee of amateur dramatics, Beery later left Hogwarts to teach at the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts (W.A.D.A).

The Fountain of Fair Fortune fable was adapted into a pantomime by Professor Beery during the Yuletide for the students at Hogwarts. It resulted into a fire and also a duel by the two girls who had played parts in the play. Beery later confessed to Dumbledore that this confrontation caused his later productions to become as unlucky as the first.
