Sir Nicholas: "Of course! That old potions professor. He was always going on about the Cursed Vaults as well."

Jacob's sibling: "Really? Can we ask him what he know?"

Sir Nicholas: "Certainly not! He's been dead for hundreds of years. And not the turned-into-a-ghost kind of dead, either."

— Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington to Jacob's sibling

Professor Bartholomew was the Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at some point between the 15th and 19th centuries.

Biography

Teaching at Hogwarts

Bartholomew at some point became a Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was granted classroom down in the dungeons and an office in which to work. Known to have taught the subject of Potions sometime vaguely between the 15th and 19th century, over the course of his career as an educator, he was known to have been part of a small group of teachers and students formed a 'circle of trust' that researched the vaults together. He was working at Hogwarts during the same time as Charms professor Fortinbras, and he was the only one she trusted with her search for the Cursed Vaults. He wrote his discoveries about the Vaults on his beaker in ancient runes, and left it behind in the his old classroom in the hopes that those who came after would find it and continue his work.

Legacy

Centuries later during the 1986–1987 school year, a young student was thrust into a race to find the Cursed Vaults. Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, who had known Bartholomew, told them about him after they had found a scroll that mentioned his beaker in the Artefact Room, which put them on the trail of the beaker itself.
