The Gargoyles situated outside the staffroom
These two gargoyles stood in the staffroom corridor, protecting the staffroom at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
History
In 1995, Harry Potter tried to get into the staffroom to see Professor Grubbly-Plank after his owl Hedwig was injured. They were less than sympathetic to his pleading.[1]
During the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, both gargoyles were smashed apart by a stray jinx that had sailed through a broken window. As Harry rushed past them, one of the broken gargoyle's heads remarked "Oh, don't mind me... I'll just lie here and crumble..."[2]
