— Hermione Granger and portrait after Harry Potter hears voices

This portrait of a count hung next to the first-floor landing of the Grand Staircase of Hogwarts Castle.

Biography

In 1992, Hermione Granger told Harry Potter that it was not a good sign to hear voices, even in the wizarding world, unaware that the voices he was hearing was really the Parseltongue of Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk going through the school's pipes. The subject of this portrait agreed with her.

Behind the scenes

• This individual was played by David Tysall in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
• This portrait's subject may have passed away sometime prior to 1992, as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals. This individual's clothing suggests he lived during the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
