Harry Potter: "Wanglewort"
Ravenclaw lady: "Well done young man, you've got the password! At least in here, you'll be safe."
— Harry and the lady[src]

This Ravenclaw lady was a witch who had portraits of herself hung at Hogwarts Castle.[3][4]

Biography[]

1991–1992 school year[]

In Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she was guarding a secret room in the Dungeons, concealing a Quidditch Armour. The password required to gain entrance was "Wanglewort".[3]

1992–1993 school year[]

A year later, her portrait had been moved, and now guarded the way to the Ravenclaw Duelling Arena.[4]

Personality and traits[]

This witch was proud of her House and considered others who dare duel the Ravenclaw Duelling Champion to be "foolish".[4] However, in 1991 she became very nervous as she sensed there was someone in the castle doing something evil, showing she was rather observant and intuitive.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

  • This witch may have passed away sometime prior to 1991, as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals.
