- Harry Potter: "Do you know Percival Pratt's password?"
- The Shepherdess: "Me? No, no, no. Now that Google Stump fellow — you know, in that hall, near the viaduct; he's a portrait with answers"
- — Harry Potter tries to figure out Percival Pratt's password[src]
The Shepherdess was a portrait hung at Hogwarts Castle, on the Charms Staircase. She was depicted in a white dress, with her staff and with her flock behind her, in the background. She spoke in a strong West country accent.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- The Shepherdess is quite similar to a portrait of a girl with flowers featured in the film adaptations of Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban (portrayed by Violet Columbus).
- This individual may have died sometime prior to 1995, as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals.
- She is voiced by Eleanor Hans.
- When she declared that Google Stump is 'a portrait with answers,' she made a reference to the web search engine Google, which is a primary online tool used to look for information.
Appearances[]
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game) (First appearance) (Appears in portrait(s))
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (video game) (Appears in portrait(s))
Notes and references[]
- ↑ J. K. Rowling stated at the Edinburgh Book Festival on 15 August 2004 (source) that all portraits at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are of deceased individuals. Thus, this witch must have died sometime in or before 1995, given her portrait's appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film).
- ↑ She was most likely British (or more specifically English) given her very strong West Country accent.
