The Sarcastic Male Gargoyle was one of the talking gargoyles in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]

History

It was located in the Paved Courtyard of the castle. It tended to be a bit sardonic with anyone who talks to it.[1]

During the 1995–1996 school year, Professor Binns assigned his fifth-year students the task of listing five talking gargoyles as a homework assignment. Harry Potter located the gargoyles as a favour to Dean Thomas so that he could attend the first meeting of Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement.[1]

Like the others, casting the Fire-Making Spell on the gargoyle would cause it to breathe fire.[1]
